Abstract
A firearm breech device (100) has a breech body (110) with a lower part with functional elements for interaction with an upper part of a handle part of the firearm. A firing pin (130) is linearly movable within a bore (120) of the breech body (110) with a leading end face (111) adjacent to the cartridge chamber (200) of a barrel of the firearm. The firing pin can be propelled by means of a pulse generator (140) which is also linearly movable within the bore (120) from a retracted basic position into an advanced firing position. In the advanced firing position, an ignition pin (138) of the firing pin (130) strikes an ignition element of a cartridge (300) to fire a shot.
Claims20
A breech device (100) of a firearm comprising:
- a breech body (110) with a lower part with functional elements for interaction with an upper region of a handle part of the firearm;
- wherein:
- a firing pin (130) is linearly movable within a bore (120) of the breech body (110) with a leading end face (111) adjacent to the cartridge chamber (200) of a barrel (210) of the firearm from a retracted basic position into an advanced firing position, in which an ignition pin (138) of the firing pin (130) strikes an ignition element of a cartridge (300) to fire a shot;
- the firing pin can be propelled by means of a pulse generator (140) which is also linearly movable within the bore;
- the firing pin (130) comprises a firing pin head (131) and a firing pin body (132);
- the firing pin head (131) is mounted linearly movably within the bore (120) in a region of the breech body (110) close to the barrel;
- the firing pin body (132) is mounted linearly movably along an inner surface (151) of a sliding guide (150) also arranged in the bore (120);
- and
- the pulse generator (140) is linearly movable along an outer surface (152) of the sliding guide (150).
A firearm comprising:
- a barrel (210) having a chamber (200);
- a frame;
- a slide having a breech body (110) the breech body having:
- a lower part with functional elements for interaction with an upper region of the frame;
- and
- a leading end face (111) adjacent to the cartridge chamber (200);
- a firing pin (130) linearly movable within a bore (120) of the breech body (110) from a retracted basic position into an advanced firing position, in which firing position an ignition pin (138) of the firing pin (130) strikes an ignition element of a cartridge (300) to fire a shot;
- and
- a pulse generator (140) which is also linearly movable within the bore (120), wherein:
- the firing pin (130) has:
- a firing pin head (131) from which the ignition pin (138) forwardly protrudes;
- and
- a firing pin body (132);
- the firing pin body (132) is mounted linearly movably along an inner surface (151) of a sliding guide (150) also in the bore (120);
- and
- the pulse generator (140) is linearly movable along an outer surface (152) of the sliding guide (150).
