TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a pin embodiment which enables firing a cartridge in superposed smoothbore shotguns with superimposed barrel within the space called frame and to a safety embodiment.

The present invention specifically relates to a pin assembly and a safety assembly which can be assembled and disassembled easily independently from the mechanical parts inside the frame within shotguns.

PRIOR ART

In our day there are shotguns with superimposed barrel called superposed which the hunters generally use. Said superposed shotguns consist of two superimposed barrels. These are the shotguns which are filled by being broken from the hinge between the barrel and the body via a lever located on the body called as frame and which is ready for shooting.

The systems called superposed smoothbore shotguns with superimposed barrel lowers the parts called hammer by actuating the inner trigger via a selector connected to the trigger and the hammers perform firing by striking against the pins. There is a part called safety on the body in order to prevent bursting. Safety process is performed by moving the safety member backwards.

During the manufacture of the body of the superposed shotgun, discharge is performed in the part called tailpiece. After the discharge process, holes are opened on the lateral surface of the body in order to mount the pin, hammer, inner trigger, selector and other inner parts. These mechanical parts are fixed onto the body via pins.

In the prior art, since the lateral surface of the body is exposed during safety mounting it is mounted from the lateral surface via a pin.

In the prior art, since deformation of the pin is too much, there may be problems such as breaking. When the shotgun is sent to the manufacturing company or technical service for part replacement in such a problem, pins, springs and mechanical arts on the body starting from the stock of the shotgun need to be disassembled.

A professional interference is needed for part replacement in the known state of the art, this causes the repair period and accordingly the cost to increase.

As a result of the researches in the literature, various embodiments can be found relating to said shotguns. One of them is the patent with application number 2013/04544 and with title “Superposed trigger mechanism”. In the abstract of the invention with classification F41A 19/10 the following description takes place: “The invention relates to a trigger adjustment knob relating with the trigger, a trigger adjustment body, trigger mechanism/embodiment on the trigger body on the superposed shotguns bodies, characterized in that it comprises a trigger pull on the trigger adjustment body; a hammer block, hammer spring pins, hammer springs and a hammer lock on the trigger body; hammer block right and hammer block left connected to the hammer right and hammer left; a trigger group main body formed within body tail on the superposed shotgun body and a trigger group main body where the trigger body is mounted with the trigger body opening switch.”

Another example relating to said embodiment is the utility model with application no. 2009/01142 and with title “superposed shotgun with superimposed two barrels having a magazine”.

After the abovementioned mounting, the receiver cover (90) is located on the receiver (81) and is fastened by the receiver cover fastening element (91). (FIG. 4) This fastening process is performed by passing the receiving cover fastening element (91) through the receiver cover fastening element hole (92), followed by passing to the fastening element hole (93) in the receiver (81).

After this fastening process, the receiver upper pin (20) corresponds to the receiver cover upper pin hole (94); the lower pin (30) corresponds to the receiver cover lower pin hole (95). The barrel is inserted in the shotgun (T) upon the mounting of the trigger mechanism of it and the general mounting is completed.

The view obtained after the mounting is seen in FIG. 4.

After the barrel is closed, the unintentional opening of it is provided by the lock (80) below the receiver (81).

Operating Principle;

After the abovementioned mounting process, the shotgun (T) is ready to use.

Firstly, the user fills the cartridges in the barrel. Thereafter the cartridges are located the barrel such that they correspond to the receiver cover upper pin hole (94) and the receiver cover lower pin hole (95).

The user allows the selector (76) to rest on the right inner trigger (62) and the left inner trigger (63) by forcing the safety (70) in the forward movement direction (X−).

Thereafter the right inner trigger (62), the right hammer pin (41) and the right hammer (40) force each other respectively when pushing the trigger (61). Lastly, the right hammer (40) moves the lower pin (30) and blasts the cartridge and performs firing.

In the next trigger (61) movement, the left inner trigger (63), the left hammer pin (51) and the left hammer (50) force each other. Lastly, the left hammer (50) forces the upper pin (20) and performs firing.

After the firing, the upper pin spring (21) provides the upper pin (20) to move back to the previous position. The lower pin spring (31) provides the lower pin (30) to move back to the previous position.

The user forces the safety (70) in the backward movement, direction (X+) after using the shotgun (T). By means of this movement the shotgun (T) is secured by disconnecting the selector (76) and the left inner trigger (63) and the right inner trigger (62).
