Abstract

The invention relates to an air gun (1) having a charging system, which charging system comprises: a piston (3) guided for axial sliding within a system carrier (2); a charging element (5) pivotably arranged on the system carrier (2) by means of a first joint (4); and a first link bar (6) for connecting the charging element (5) to the piston (3), the first link bar (6) being connected to the piston (3) by means of a second joint (7) and to the charging element (5) by means of a third joint (8). The invention solves the problem of providing an air gun (1) having a charging system, said air gun enabling manual charging by means of a charging element (5) with the least possible force to be applied, in that the third joint (8) is arranged on the charging element (5) such that the third joint can slide parallel to the longitudinal axis (L) of the charging element or along an axis (A) slightly inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis (L) of the charging element and is articulated to the system carrier (2) by means of a second link bar (9).

Abstract

The invention relates to a modular system for assembling different types of air guns, each air gun comprising: a first assembly comprising at least one barrel (10), a front piece (13) as a second assembly, a third assembly comprising at least one cylinder with a piston and a compression spring, and a gun stock. In each case, an identical second assembly which has the front piece (13) can selectively be releasably connected to different first assemblies comprising barrels with different respective calibers and/or to different third assemblies comprising cylinders which generate different muzzle energies. The invention is advantageous in that a manufacturer can now produce a larger number of different air gun types with defined properties using substantially fewer components. For example, if air guns are to be produced which comprise barrels with different respective calibers, the same front piece (13) can be used for this purpose.

Abstract

The invention relates to a magazine for a handgun, comprising a chamber that accommodates the ammunition and a magazine head that is suitable for being accommodated by the magazine shaft in the breechblock housing of the gun, characterized in that according to the invention an ejector plate is arranged on the magazine head and means are provided for changing the relative position of said ejector plate in the magazine shaft when a magazine is inserted. The solution according to the invention makes it possible to change the position of the magazine head in the magazine shaft by means of an adjusting mechanism and thus to also change the relative position of the ejector plate, which is now on the magazine head, in the magazine shaft. In the process, the position of the ejector plate relative to the feeding web of the breechblock generally changes. By adjusting the position of the magazine head, the ejection angle and/or the ejection path of the cartridge case and the position of the fed cartridge relative to the cartridge chamber of the weapon can also be changed if applicable.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a safety device for a firearm (42) with a trigger bar (2) in said firearm. The trigger bar (2) moves in response to a pulling of a trigger (1). An actuator (20) in said firearm is adapted to actively move said trigger bar (2) between a first position and a second position. The trigger bar (2) engages in the trigger induced movement with a hammer link (3) for releasing a hammer and firing a cartridge bullet when the trigger bar (2) is in the first position or first state. However, said trigger bar (2) does not engage in the trigger induced movement with the hammer link (3), such that the cartridge bullet is not fired, when the trigger bar (2) is in the second position or state.

Abstract

The invention relates to a magazine (10) for a portable firearm, for receiving a plurality of cartridges (11, 12, 13, 14) that are guided by means of a feeder inside the magazine towards the barrel of a weapon, in order to be individually loaded in the barrel of the weapon on the upper end of the magazine after each shot, the cartridges being guided along a curved path in the magazine. In order to ensure, when using cartridges with an ignition edge (19), that the cartridges are ejected on the upper end of the magazine, such that the ignition edge of the uppermost cartridge (14) always lies in front of that of the second most upper cartridge (13), the inner contour of the magazine (10) is embodied, at least in a region at a distance from the upper magazine end, in such a way that successive cartridges are in a crossed arrangement with intersecting axes, the inner contour tapers off towards the upper end of the magazine, aligning the cartridges, and the ignition edge (19) of at least the uppermost cartridge (14) is guided in the magazine by guiding elements.
