Patent number: 11815324Abstract: A rifle has a fixed main body, including a barrel, a receiver with an upper opening, and a breech element. A trigger group is at least partially housed in the receiver, including a trigger and a hammer device operable by the trigger. A carriage assembly includes an assembly body and a shutter group at least partially housed in the assembly body. The carriage assembly is positioned on the receiver at the upper opening and is axially movable by a user between an advanced shooting configuration and a retracted rearming configuration. Upon axial movement of the carriage assembly, between the retracted and advanced configurations, the shutter group is first moved axially in translation and then in roto-translation. The shutter group includes a central body and a command pin protruding radially from the shutter body. The command pin engages the assembly body so reciprocal interaction guides the shutter group in rotation.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2022Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: FABBRICA D'ARMI PIETRO BERETTA S.P.A.Inventors: Ulrich Zedrosser, Fausto Caravaggi, Emanuele Cecchel

Patent number: 10222164Abstract: An extension device (1) of a firearm (500) mounts in an operating configuration, to a muzzle (555) of a barrel (550) of the firearm (500). The extension device (1) includes a main body (10) which has an inner element (11) housable inside the barrel (550) and suitable to firmly engage with an inner barrel wall (550?) and an outer element (12) which extends axially adjacent to the inner element (11) and is suitable to be arranged outside the barrel (550) with the inner element (11) housed in the barrel (550). The extension device further includes a secondary body (20) fitted axially on the main body (10) and an attachment body (30) fitted axially on the outer element (12) and fixable thereto performing an axial thrust action on the secondary body (20) until the secondary body presses against the muzzle (555) of the firearm (500).Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2017Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: FABBRICA D'ARMI PIETRO BERETTA S.p.A.Inventors: Fausto Caravaggi, Ivano Contin
