Abstract
A trigger mechanism for an air gun with a cocking mechanism has a trigger and a trigger lever, actuated by the trigger, which retains a tensioned member of the air gun. The trigger lever is coupled with the cocking mechanism by intermediate members in such a manner that when the cocking mechanism is returned to its position of rest, it causes the overlap of the trigger lever over the member retained thereby to be reduced during the last portion of its path of travel.
Claims10
In an air gun including a spring loaded piston, a trigger mechanism comprising:
- cocking means movable between a rest position and a cocking position for cocking the piston;
- trigger mechanism means for retaining and releasing the cocked piston, which trigger mechanism means includes a retaining member connected to said piston, a trigger lever engageable with said retaining member when said piston is cocked, said trigger lever having a portion overlapping said retaining member when in engagement therewith, and a trigger coupled to said trigger lever for moving said trigger lever out of engagement with said retaining member;
- and
- intermediate means including intermediate members operatively coupling said cocking means and said trigger lever for reducing the overlap of said trigger lever over said retaining member after cocking during the last part of travel of said cocking means back to said rest position.
