Shotgun firing mechanism with enclosing housing - has single lever coupled with safety stop pivoted on housing pins

摘要

The shotgun is provided with a firing mechanism whose housing support plate has inwards turned edges. These edges carry a cover plate. These two components form a support and guide for the firing mechanism. The hammer of the gun is guided so that only linear or longitudinal adjustments are possible and angular adjustment movements are suppressed for facilitating assembly and actuation. A lever with pivot (16) and actuating pin (18) holds the hammer (5) in the cocked position and this lever also acts as a safety device for holding the hammer in an intermediate position should the hammer be inadvertently released from its cocked position. This lever is coupled with a safety element which forms a stop for holding the hammer. This safety element angular position is controlled by the movements of the pivoted lever used for cocking and releasing.
