  • Patent number: 8555539
    Abstract: In a trigger system (100) comprising a hammer (110) for firing a cartridge, a striker (120) adapted to accelerate the hammer (110), and a sear (130) for releasably locking the striker (120), which sear (130) can be unlocked by means of a release device (140) capable of being actuated by means of a trigger bar (160) that can be moved by a trigger (150), wherein a front surface (121) of the striker rests against an end face (111) of the hammer for the purpose of accelerating the hammer (110) to initiate firing, protection of the cocked hammer (110) from external mechanical influences is made possible by mounting the hammer (110), the striker (120), the release device (140), and also a main spring (170) adapted to accelerate the striker (120) for rotation about a common principal axis (180).

  • Patent number: 8555537
    Abstract: A breech device (100) for a handgun has an impact base (120) in a central recess (110) in said breech device (100). The impact base (120) is in the form of a front end face of an impact-base member (160) in the central recess. A main functional region (150) is between said impact base (120) and a rear end face (140) of said breech device. At least one percussion member (300) for firing a cartridge and also a surface of a cartridge slide (211) are in the main functional region (150). The surface of the cartridge slide (211) is adapted to abut cartridges mounted in a magazine (100) in a neutral position of the breech device.

  • Patent number: 7610709
    Abstract: An antidismantling device for preventing dismantling of a hand-gun when a cartridge is present in the barrel (102) of the hand-gun, the barrel (102) being mounted in a breech block (110), and a guide pin (123), which is biased at least indirectly in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the barrel (102), is slidably mounted in a bearing (113) in the breech block (110), and one end of the guide pin at least indirectly abuts a contact surface (121) for making contact with part of a cartridge (101), and the position of the guide pin in relation to the breech block (110) when a cartridge (101) is present in the barrel (102) differs from the position thereof assumed in the absence of a cartridge (101) in the barrel (102) is created in that the guide pin (123) interacts at least indirectly with a safety mechanism (141) provided on the grip of the hand-gun in order to prevent dismantling of the breech block (110) when a cartridge (101) is present in the barrel (102) of the handgun.
