Cocking mechanism for hand firearms

摘要

A small firearm such as a pistol has a pivotally mounted hammer engagable with a firing pin. A trigger rod is pivotally connected to a trigger and is spring biased upwardly toward the hammer so that a notch on the trigger rod is engagable with a roller on the hammer. The notch is urged into temporary engagement with the roller during cocking of the hammer and a pin on the hammer pushes the trigger rod downwardly to disengage the notch from the roller during cocking.
