Abstract
The invention relates to a cocking and uncocking mechanism for a firearm, comprising a spring-loaded firing pin which, when in the cocked position, engages on a catch that can be released to fire, said catch being displaceable by an actuator element acting upon the catch via a link motion the control cam of which maintains the force to be applied to the actuator element to displace the catch to the cocked position substantially constant at least in the center region of the actuation path.
Claims11
Cocking and uncocking mechanism for a firearm with a spring-loaded firing pin that engages in the cocked position with a catch that can be released to allow a shot, the catch being displaceable by an actuator element between the cocked position and a safety position relieving the tension of the firing pin spring, wherein the actuator element acts on the catch via a motion link having a control cam which maintains the force to be exerted on the actuator element in order to displace the catch into the cocked position substantially constant, at least in a central area of the actuation path.
