Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A striking mechanism for triggering a firing pin of an externally or self-powered weapon that has a breech. The striking mechanism including a kinematic mechanism having a trigger rocker, a safety device and a release. The trigger rocker acts on the safety device such that the release functionally interacts with a striking hammer. The striking hammer having a telescopic pushrod. A spring mounted around the telescopic pushrod is tensioned when the breech is advanced and a catching edge of the release engages under a catching edge of the striking hammer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A striking mechanism for triggering a firing pin of an externally or self-powered weapon that has a breech, the striking mechanism comprising: a kinematic mechanism that comprises a trigger rocker, a safety device, and a release, the trigger rocker acting on the safety device for a release, which release functionally interacts with a striking hammer, the striking hammer having a telescopic pushrod; and a spring mounted around the telescopic pushrod, the spring being tensioned when the breech is advanced; and a catching edge of the release engaging under a catching edge of the striking hammer. 2. The striking mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the striking mechanism forms a triggering device of the externally or self-powered weapon and is integrated in a trigger housing. 3. The striking mechanism as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the trigger housing is modular.
