Abstract

an unlocking assembly (12) that is manually actionable and able to act on at least one of the pivoting fork and the hammer for releasing the movable assembly (4) and allowing the assisted return of the movable assembly (4) in order for reloading.

• F41A 17/00 - Safety arrangements, e.g. safeties
• F41A 17/42 - Safeties for locking the breech-block or bolt in a safety position
• F41A 17/78 - Hammer safeties, i.e. for preventing the hammer from hitting the cartridge or the firing pin automatically operated, i.e. operated by breech opening or closing movement by breakdown action
• F41A 17/80 - Thumb-operated sliding safeties mounted on the upside of the stock, e.g. for shotguns
• F41A 17/74 - Hammer safeties, i.e. for preventing the hammer from hitting the cartridge or the firing pin
• F41A 17/76 - Hammer safeties, i.e. for preventing the hammer from hitting the cartridge or the firing pin automatically operated, i.e. operated by breech opening or closing movement

Abstract

A linear repeating firearm, with assisted ejection, including: a mechanism capable of recovering the energy resulting from pressure exerted when firing a round of ammunition by a gas operated system, to move a mobile assembly against return spring and including a stopper, a latch and a striker cooperating with a hammer controlled by a trigger. A locking mechanism is provided at the rear of the mobile assembly, to lock the mobile assembly in the compressed position of the return spring, after each shot. A manually actuatable unlocking assembly is capable of acting on the locking mechanism to release the mobile assembly and allow the assisted return of the assembly for reloading.

IPC Classes  ?

• F41A 1/00 - Missile propulsion characterised by the use of explosive or combustible propellant charges
• F41A 3/26 - Rigid bolt locks, i.e. having locking elements rigidly mounted on the bolt or bolt handle and on the barrel or breech-housing respectively the locking elements effecting a rotary movement about the barrel axis, e.g. rotating cylinder bolt locks semi-automatically or automatically operated, e.g. having a slidable bolt-carrier and a rotatable bolt
• F41A 5/18 - Mechanisms or systems operated by propellant charge energy for automatically opening the lock gas-operated
• F41A 17/32 - Multiple safeties, i.e. safeties acting on at least one element of the firing mechanism and at least one other element of the gun, e.g. the moving barrel the other element being the breech-block or bolt
