  • Patent number: 6382073
    Abstract: The invention concerns a gas operated shotgun made up of a barrel (11) a cylinder (12) attached to the barrel and a piston (13) moving in the cylinder and along the guide rod (16) between an advanced rest position and an active retracted control position for certain functional operations of the shotgun. The inside of the barrel communicates with the cylinder through at least one inlet (14) for of a part of the propulsion gasses due to the movement of the piston to the active retracted position. A protective flap (20) extends into the cylinder chamber towards the piston on the front of the same, which is placed in front of the gas entrance hole (14) in said cylinder chamber partially covering and protecting the guide rod (16) of the piston. The piston can also be furnished with a scraper (22) to clean the rod.

  • Patent number: 5657567
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a device for coupling the trigger mechanism in the bascule (10) of guns, which comprises a kinematic mechanism (26, 27, 31) which extends between the locking sliding safety catch (19) of the trigger guard to move the locking bolt of the trigger guard (19) into a backward position for releasing the trigger mechanism followed by a consecutive movement of the sliding safety catch (15) from an intermediate firing position (A) to a forward release position (B) and of the closing top lever (18) into a position for unlocking the barrels.

  • Patent number: 4984504
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device opening and closing the bolt of semiautomatic pistols with a barrel which is rotating and axially displaceable in the stock and interacting with the bolt in such a way that during the first section of the back motion barrel and bolt are integral and without a relative motion, while in the second section the barrel rotates in respect to the bolt but is still following its linear movement till the barrel stops and the bolt moves back for the actual opening of the arm.

  • Patent number: 4977814
    Abstract: The invention relates to an automatic safety device for fire arms, in particular for automatic guns to be operated starting from their open-bolt position. A movable slider (12) and a rocking catch lever (19), both assembled to a support on the bolt (11), cooperate in order to allow the lever to engage in a toothed section (15) on the breech (10) and thus prevent the bolt from moving forwards in case of a faulty move, of a release or missed catch during its manual cocking and to maintain the device out of action while the arm is operated wither automatically or manually. Owing to this structure the possibility of uncontrolled or accidental shots is actually eliminated.

  • Patent number: 4811509
    Abstract: A monotrigger mechanism is disclosed for double-barrelled guns, such as trapshooting guns, in which guns the hammers, their respective springs, levers, trigger and pendular mass are all premounted on an underguard. The trigger is longitudinally positionable and the coupling of the underguard is effected by means of an oscillating lever controlled by the safety sled, which is mounted on the upper portion of the breech of the gun and interacts with the trigger.

  • Patent number: 4811511
    Abstract: Disclosed is a device for the rapid engagement and disengagement of the monotrigger mechanism in the breech of a double-barrelled gun. A hook is integrally provided in the underguard that carries the monotrigger mechanism. An oscillating lever, pivoting in the breech has a tooth that interacts with the said hook, so as to block and unblock the monotrigger mechanism. The lever is kept in operative position by a spring and is moved into an inoperative position by the disengagement of the monotrigger mechanism from the safety sled.

  • Patent number: 4271623
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a crown for enclosing therein the firing mechanism of a pistol having a stock and a hand guard for protecting the trigger. The pistol is characterized by the fact that to the stock there is removably attached an extension rod which extends in two sections in a direction opposed to that of the barrel. The extension rod has a T-shaped extremity. The hand guard for the trigger has pivoted thereon a lever urged by a small spring-loaded piston to become blocked either in a first active position that is downwardly inclined with respect to the crown of the pistol, or in a second inactive or rest position through the displacement of the lever toward and near the crown itself.
