Abstract

A receiver assembly for a handgun. The receiver assembly includes a receiver having a magazine well, a locking device having a locking lever for actuating the locking device, a control block accommodated in the receiver, a trigger pivotable in the receiver and about a trigger axis, a sear bar coupled to the trigger, a locking bar having a guide lug, and a lowering component accommodated in the control block, which has a bar guide slot formed therein. The sear bar extends to the control block and includes a guide bracket. The locking bar interacts with the locking device. The lowering component is displaceable for removing the slide assembly from the receiver assembly. The lowering component includes a control window and a guide link. The guide bracket is guided in the control window. The guide lug protrudes into the guide link and through a bar guide slot of the control block.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A receiver assembly for a handgun, the receiver assembly comprising:
a receiver having a magazine well;
a locking device accommodated in a locking device receptacle of the receiver, wherein the locking device comprises a locking lever for actuating the locking device;
a control block accommodated in a control block receptacle of the receiver, the control block having a bar guide slot formed therein;
a trigger that is pivotable in the receiver, wherein the trigger is pivotable about a trigger axis;
a sear bar coupled to the trigger, the sear bar extends to the control block, wherein the sear bar includes a guide bracket;
a locking bar having a guide lug, the locking bar interacts with the locking device, wherein the locking bar can be displaced between a rest position and an actuating position; and
a lowering component accommodated in the control block, wherein the lowering component is displaceable, relative to the receiver, between a locking position and an unlocking position for removing a slide assembly of the handgun from the receiver assembly, the lowering component comprises:
a control window, wherein the guide bracket of the sear bar is guided in the control window; and
a guide link, wherein the guide lug of the locking bar protrudes into the guide link, and wherein the guide lug protrudes through a bar guide slot formed in the control block.

2. The receiver assembly of claim 1 wherein the lowering component is formed as a single sheet metal piece.

3. The receiver assembly of claim 1 wherein the lowering component includes a first lowering component wing and a second lowering component wing, and wherein the first lowering component wing and the second lowering component wing are coupled to each other via a base, wherein the control window and the guide link are formed as a recess in the first lowering component wing.

4. The receiver assembly of claim 3 wherein the base includes an abutment formed thereon, and wherein the abutment supports a lowering component return spring.

5. The receiver assembly of claim 3 wherein the first lowering component wing includes a first wing extension formed thereon and the second lowering component wing includes a second wing extension formed thereon, wherein the first wing extension protrudes outside laterally with respect to the first lowering component wing, and wherein the second wing extension protrudes outside laterally with respect to the second lowering component wing, and wherein the first wing extension is configured to be guided in a first guide groove in a slide of the slide assembly, and wherein the second wing extension is configured to be guided in a second guide groove of the slide of the slide assembly.

6. The receiver assembly of claim 5 wherein the first wing extension includes a first pressure surface formed thereon, the first pressure surface is configured to come into contact with a first pressure bevel of a first recess of the first guide groove, and wherein the second wing extension includes a second pressure surface formed thereon, the second pressure surface is configured to come into contact with a second pressure bevel of a second recess of the second guide groove.

7. The receiver assembly of claim 5 wherein the control block includes a linear guide slot formed therein, wherein the linear guide slot is configured to guide the first wing extension.

8. The receiver assembly of claim 1 wherein the lowering component includes an ejector formed thereon.

9. The receiver assembly of claim 1 wherein the locking bar ( 42 ) is configured to be on a first side of the magazine well, and wherein the sear bar is configured to be on a second side of the magazine well.

10. The receiver assembly of claim 1 wherein the locking bar has a blocking element configured to block a displacement of the locking bar when a magazine is present in the magazine well.

11. The receiver assembly of claim 1 wherein the locking device comprises a locking slider that is coupled to the locking lever, wherein an actuating surface on the locking bar contacts the locking slider, and wherein the actuating surface is at an angle to at least one receiving slot.

12. The receiver assembly of claim 1 wherein the trigger axis includes a circumferential groove formed thereon, wherein the locking bar includes a recess ( 80 ) formed thereon, wherein the locking bar, in the rest position, engages in the circumferential groove, and wherein the locking bar, in the actuating position, releases the trigger axis in a region of the recess for axial displacement.

13. A handgun comprising:
a slide assembly; and
a receiver assembly couplable to the slide assembly, the receiver assembly comprises:
a receiver having a magazine well;
a locking device accommodated in a locking device receptacle of the receiver, wherein the locking device comprises a locking lever for actuating the locking device;
a control block accommodated in a control block receptacle of the receiver, the control block having a bar guide slot formed therein;
a trigger that is pivotable in the receiver, wherein the trigger is pivotable about a trigger axis;
a sear bar coupled to the trigger, the sear bar extends to the control block, wherein the sear bar includes a guide bracket;
a locking bar having a guide lug, the locking bar interacts with the locking device, wherein the locking bar can be displaced between a rest position and an actuating position; and
a lowering component accommodated in the control block, wherein the lowering component is displaceable, relative to the receiver, between a locking position and an unlocking position for removing the slide assembly from the receiver assembly, wherein the lowering component comprises:
a control window, wherein the guide bracket of the sear bar is guided in the control window; and
a guide link, wherein the guide lug of the locking bar protrudes into the guide link, and wherein the guide lug protrudes through a bar guide slot formed in the control block.

14. The handgun of claim 13 wherein the slide assembly includes a slide having a first guide groove configured to guide the slide on the receiver assembly, and wherein the first guide groove includes a first recess having a first pressure bevel.

15. The handgun of claim 13 wherein the lowering component is formed as a single sheet metal piece.

16. The handgun of claim 13 wherein the lowering component includes a first lowering component wing and a second lowering component wing, and wherein the first lowering component wing and the second lowering component wing are coupled to each other by via a base, wherein the control window and the guide link are formed as a recess in the first lowering component wing.

17. The handgun of claim 16 wherein the base includes an abutment formed thereon, and wherein the abutment supports a lowering component return spring.

18. The handgun of claim 16 wherein the first lowering component wing includes a first wing extension formed thereon and the second lowering component wing includes a second wing extension formed thereon, wherein the first wing extension protrudes outside laterally with respect to the first lowering component wing, and wherein the second wing extension protrudes outside laterally with respect to the second lowering component wing, and wherein the first wing extension is configured to be guided in a first guide groove in a slide of the slide assembly, and wherein the second wing extension is configured to be guided in a second guide groove of the slide of the slide assembly.
