Abstract

A cocking device for a firing pin spring of a firing pin of a weapon, the firing pin being integrated into a breech. This firing pin spring is cocked during the pre-run of the control slide, by means of a cocking slide on the weapon, said cocking slide having a cocking curve, in which a pin of a cocking rocker is engaged.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cocking device for a firing pin spring of a firing pin of a weapon, the firing pin being integrated in a breech, the cocking device comprising:
a cocking slide arranged on the weapon, the cocking slide comprising a cocking cam slot provided therein; and
a cocking rocker having a pin that is guided within the cocking cam slot and that performs a tensioning of a firing pin spring,
wherein the firing pin spring is tensioned during advancement of a control carriage, and
wherein the cocking slide is connected to the control carriage, such that the cocking slide advances with the advancement of the control carriage.

2. A cocking device for a firing pin spring of a firing pin of a weapon, the firing pin being integrated in a breech, the cocking device comprising:
a cocking slide arranged on the weapon, the cocking slide comprises a cocking cam; and
a pin of a cocking rocker, which performs a tensioning of a firing pin spring, the firing pin spring being tensioned during advancement of a control carriage,
wherein the cocking rocker acts on a cocking pushrod tensioning the firing pin spring.

3. A cocking device for a firing pin spring of a firing pin of a weapon, the firing pin being integrated in a breech, the cocking device comprising:
a cocking slide arranged on the weapon, the cocking slide comprises a cocking cam; and
a pin of a cocking rocker, which performs a tensioning of a firing pin spring, the firing pin spring being tensioned during advancement of a control carriage,
wherein the cocking rocker has a heart shaped outer contour.

4. A cocking device for a firing pin spring of a firing pin of a weapon, the firing pin being integrated in a breech, the cocking device comprising:
a cocking slide arranged on the weapon, the cocking slide comprises a cocking cam; and
a pin of a cocking rocker, which performs a tensioning of a firing pin spring, the firing pin spring being tensioned during advancement of a control carriage,
wherein the cocking rocker is pivotable about a lower fixed pivot point.
