Abstract

The invention relates to a rotary lug breech comprising: a breech carrier (1); a breach head (100) mounted therein and comprising a plurality of breech lugs (104); and a locking piece (200) comprising a plurality of locking lugs (204). A rearward facing cam section (208) is formed in the locking piece (200) on a locking lug (204). When the breech head (100) is released, said cam section converts a release motion, during which rear end faces (106) of the breech lugs (104) detach from front end faces (206) of the locking lugs (204), by means of a forward facing control section (132) correspondingly formed on a control breech lug (104h') into a screwing motion of the breech head (100) in order to release a cartridge case retained in the breech head (100) from a cartridge chamber, during which screwing motion the control section (132) is supported on the cam section (208). During locking, the cam section performs a pre-control function, which rotates a control pin (102) in a control gate (60) of the breech carrier (1) from an axial stop (70) into a control position in which the control gate (60) engages at a locking edge (62) with the control pin (102) and, when the breech carrier (1) moves forward relative to the breech head (100), exerts a rotary momentum on the breech head (100) and thus converts a linear feed motion of the breech head into a locking motion by means of screwing motion.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a pivotal latch (21) for a trigger device of a firearm, particularly a rapid-fire weapon, comprising a breech (3) and a safety mechanism (40). The pivotal latch (21) is displaceable between a locking position locking the breech (3) and a position not locking the breech, and comprises a safety element (101; 201) that is displaceable relative to the pivot latch (21) between an idle position (II) and a safety position (I). Said element assumes the safety position (I) when the breech (3) pushes against the pivot latch (21) if the breech (3) exerts an actuating force on the safety element (101; 201) in the forward direction. In said position (I), the element engages on the safety mechanism (40) if said safety mechanism assumes the safety position thereof at the same time and fixes the pivotal latch (21) itself in the locking position. Otherwise, however, the safety element assumes the rest position (II) and releases the pivotal latch (21). The invention further relates to a trigger device, a grip having such a trigger device, and a corresponding firearm.

Abstract

The invention relates to a catch (21), especially for a triggering mechanism of a rapid fire weapon that comprises a breechblock (3) and a securing device (40; 140). The catch (21) can be moved between a position blocking the breechblock (3) and a position not blocking the breechblock and is fitted with a securing element (101; 201; 301). Said securing element (101; 201; 301) can be moved relative to the catch (21) between a releasing position (II) and a securing position (I) and adopts the releasing position (II) as the returning breechblock (3) engages with the catch (21) and actuates the securing element (101; 201; 301) in a rearward direction; said element does not engage with the securing device (40) in this position (II) even when the securing device (40) is simultaneously in the securing position. The catch (21) can then be moved into the non-blocking position. Alternatively or additionally, the securing element (101; 201; 301) adopts the securing position (1) as the breechblock (3) runs onto the securing element (101; 201; 301) and actuates the latter (101; 201; 301) in a forward direction, said element engaging with the securing device (40) in said position (1) when the securing device (40) is simultaneously in the securing position and blocking the catch (21) in the blocking position. The invention further relates to a triggering mechanism, a handle piece (1), and a weapon comprising such a catch (21) according to the invention.

Abstract

Disclosed is a safety element for weapons, in which unblocking of a weapon is controlled via an exchange of identification keys between a weapon (6) and an unblocking apparatus (1), said weapon (6) being provided with a weapon ID (7) and a safety mechanism (8). The unblocking apparatus (1) which is used for detecting the weapon ID (7) and issuing an unblocking signal (17) is controlled via a controller (2) encompassing an ID memory (3, 4) in such a way that the unblocking apparatus (1) issues an unblocking signal (17) only if the detected weapon ID (7) matches a weapon ID registered in the ID memory (3). Such a safety element for weapons can be used particularly for increasing safety in shooting ranges (27).
