  • Patent number: 8656620
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a breech of a repeating firearm with a bolt assembly that is guided within a housing such that it is rotatable about its longitudinal axis and is axially displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the firearm, a striking pin that is axially movable in the bolt assembly and a breech block that is arranged on the rear end of the bolt assembly and in which a cocking mechanism is accommodated that can be actuated with an actuating element and serves for tensioning and relaxing a striking pin spring acting upon the striking pin. The actuating element consists of a cocking slide that can be displaced between a lower relaxed position and an upper tensioned position on the rear side of the breech block.

  • Patent number: 6264256
    Abstract: The invention relates to a closing system for doors having an inner rotary knob associated with an inner side which is rotationally fixedly connected to a closing element for the actuation of a latch and an outer rotary knob. The inner rotary knob is rotationally fixedly connected to a sleeve on which the closing element is rotationally fixedly arranged. The outer rotary knob is rotationally fixedly connected to a shaft which extends through the sleeve of the inner rotary knob and is rotationally fixedly connected to a coupling unit arranged in the inner rotary knob. The coupling unit is freely rotatable in a free wheel state relative to the inner rotary knob and rotationally fixedly coupled to the inner rotary knob in a driving state. Moreover, the coupling unit is connected for the changeover between the free wheel state and the driving state to a code input unit arranged in the outer rotary knob via an electrical and/or optical signal path extending through the shaft of the outer knob.

  • Patent number: 5029914
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fitting with a handle for operating the lock follower of a lock fitted in a door or the like. The fitting comprises a fixing device for its fixing to the door or the like and for rotary mounting of the handle, which device is passed through by an operating rod mounted without play in the follower and inserted into a receiving opening of the handle. The receiving opening is so formed that it--going from a datum position--transfers directly to the operating rod rotary movements of the handle taking place in a first direction of rotation but is without influence on the operating rod with rotary movements of the handle taking place in the opposite direction of rotation, commencing from the datum position, at least within a predetermined range of rotation.

  • Patent number: 4871202
    Abstract: A lock for doors or the like with a case (8) having a longitudinal axis (9), a locking member (16) mounted in the case to be slidable parallel to the longitudinal axis, a bush (29) mounted in the case to be rotatable about an axis of rotation arranged at right angles to the longitudinal axis, and a drive having driving parts (35, 37, 21, 23) on the locking member and on the bush for converting rotary movements of the bush into sliding movements of the locking member, the locking member being slidable by rotation of the bush at least out of a locking position into a retracted open position. So that the driving parts and the bush can be made sufficiently stable even with a small over-all height or a small total cross-section of the lock, the driving parts are arranged both in the locking position and in the open position of the locking member (16) in a space in the lock case (8) located between the closing member (16) and the bush (29).
