  • Patent number: 8528241
    Abstract: The invention relates to a trigger mechanism for a firearm, comprising a spring-loaded firing pin which, when in the cocked position, engages on a catch. The catch can be released at a right angle to the direction of the firing pin to fire and can be displaced between the cocked position and a safety position uncocking the firing pin spring along the direction of the firing pin to lock the firearm. The catch slides on an intermediate member when displaced, said member being movable in the direction of release of the catch and engaging on a click-stop edge of a trigger, which click-stop edge can be disengaged to fire.

  • Publication number: 20120090213
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drop-safety mechanism for a firearm having a pivot-mounted, said trigger being designed as an arm of a double lever, the other arm of which supports a counterweight that can be displaced between a rest position and a functional position. The counterweight is resiliently pre-tensioned in the rest position and strikes on a part of the firearm in the functional position to block the trigger from unintended firing.
