Safety device for gun firing mechanism - has additional tooth to hold firing hammer in safe position

摘要

A gun with a projecting firing hammer (4) is provided with a safety device to prevent accidental firing of the weapon by inadvertent actuation of the firing hammer (4) without operating the trigger (3). The firing hammer (1) pivots about the axis (6) and is driven against the firing pin (4) by a spring (FI) as soon as the lever (2) is rotated by the action of the trigger (3) so that the tip of the lever (2) is swung clear of the ratchet tooth (1b). The safety device consists of an additional tooth (5) which is pivoted to the firing hammer and holds the firing hammer in its extreme retracted position if it has accidentally been pulled back to this extreme position.
