  • Publication number: 20230417504
    Abstract: In an extractor device (100) mounted in a breech (300) section of a slide with a lower part with functional elements for interaction with an upper region of a grip part (200) of a firearm with an extractor (110) mounted rotatably about an axis of rotation with an extractor claw (111) provided in the region of an end of the extractor (110) close to the barrel (210) of the firearm and a guide element (112) arranged in the region of an end of the extractor (110) remote from the barrel (210) of the firearm and interacting with an extractor spring (120) biasing the extractor (110), in order to limit a rotational movement of the extractor (110) by contacting a cartridge (400) newly supplied from a magazine. The guide element (112) is biased in the direction of a control link (130) by the extractor spring (120) arranged in an inner blind hole (113) of the extractor, said control link being configured in an extractor pocket (310) in the breech section (300) and forming a bearing of the extractor.

  • Patent number: 11821703
    Abstract: In a guide device (100) for guiding a slide (300) of a semiautomatic or automatic firearm along an upper part of a frame (200) during a sliding movement in connection with the firing of a cartridge (400), a narrow design of a slide (300) is made possible when a double-stack magazine (210) is used, in that a slideway which allows sliding between the frame (200) and slide (300) is divided into two segments (220, 240), a first segment (220) being arranged remote from barrel (230) of the firearm behind a magazine chamber (211) designed to receive a magazine (210) containing cartridges (400), and a second segment (240) being arranged close to the barrel (230) in front of the magazine chamber (211).

  • Patent number: 11719510
    Abstract: With a light dot sight (100) that can be affixed in the region of the surface of a breech of a firearm. The sight has a partially transparent reflector element (110) which reflects the parallel light of a light source (120) mounted on the firearm, into the eye of the shooter to focus to a point on the retina of the shooter. Obstruction of a field of view of the shooter directed to a special event is avoided in that the undersurface (111) of the partially transparent reflector element (110) has a width which has dimensions for directly and robustly anchoring the reflector element (110) in the region of the surface of the breech by means of a fastener.

  • Patent number: 11454467
    Abstract: A firearm breech device (100) has a breech body (110) with a lower part with functional elements for interaction with an upper part of a handle part of the firearm. A firing pin (130) is linearly movable within a bore (120) of the breech body (110) with a leading end face (111) adjacent to the cartridge chamber (200) of a barrel of the firearm. The firing pin can be propelled by means of a pulse generator (140) which is also linearly movable within the bore (120) from a retracted basic position into an advanced firing position. In the advanced firing position, an ignition pin (138) of the firing pin (130) strikes an ignition element of a cartridge (300) to fire a shot.

  • Patent number: 11371791
    Abstract: An extractor of a firearm is mounted rotatably about a rotation point with an extractor claw in the region of an end of the extractor near the barrel of the firearm and a contact element in the region of an end of the extractor remote from the barrel. An extractor spring biases the extractor in an end position determined when the chamber is empty. Torque-free pulling of a cartridge case is made possible in that the extractor has a protrusion mounted in a pot of the breech. The protrusion's leading edge adjoins an undersurface of the protrusion. The protrusion is mounted on a bottom surface of the pot near the barrel. The protrusion leading edge is supported on a leading edge of the pot near the barrel. The pot leading edge forms the transition from the bottom surface to a boundary wall of the pot near the barrel. The leading edge forms a rotation axis of the extractor, which allows rotation of the extractor relative to the breech.

  • Patent number: 9863728
    Abstract: A cylinder breech block device (100) of a repeating firearm has a breech block cylinder (200) pivoted in a system housing (160) of the repeating firearm for execution of repetitive action thereof and capable of being locked to said system housing (160) for firing a round. A firing pin (140) capable of being cocked by a tension spring is mounted for linear displacement in the direction of a cartridge (141) stored in a magazine (141) of a barrel (143). Cocking of the firing pin (140) is effected by causing rotation, through a predefined angle, of a breech bolt handle (300) rigidly connected to a tension crown ring (400) that is pivoted on a central shaft (210) of the breech block cylinder (200).

  • Patent number: 8997623
    Abstract: A locking block device (100) provided in the region of a cartridge chamber (121) of a handgun barrel (120) has a locking block (110) for releasably locking the barrel (120) to a breech prior to firing, and has a control member (111) having a control guide (112) for swinging out the barrel (120), after firing, for the purpose of separating the barrel (120) from the breech, and further has a feed ramp (140) formed in the region of a stop member (130) of the locking block (110) for feeding a cartridge, stored in a magazine of the handgun, into the cartridge chamber (121) following ejection of a fired cartridge. A modular design capable of being adapted to meet specific requirements is achieved in that the feed ramp (140) is formed on a ramp member (150) capable of being separated from the locking block (110) and releasably locked to the locking block (110).
