20110126441 | MAGAZINE DEPENDENT SAFETY MECHANISM OF A HANDGUN - The invention discloses a safety mechanism of a handgun which depends on a magazine and which prevents the triggering of a handgun when the magazine is removed. Additionally, a mechanism enables handgun disassembly without need for the triggering after the magazine has been removed from the handgun. A safety mechanism is positioned inside the handgun receiver; including a magazine, sear catcher, sear catcher spring, grip safety pin, sear, sear pin, firing pin safety lever and firing pin. When the magazine is inserted into the handgun, the sear catcher is pushed into position in which it cannot block the firing pin safety lever nor catch the sear. When the magazine is removed from the handgun, the sear catcher spring pushes the sear catcher into position in which it blocks the firing chain by blocking the firing pin safety lever. At the same time it brings the sear catcher into position where it can hold the sear below the plane of the cocking of the firing pin as soon as the sear is sufficiently rotated around the sear pin by retracting the slide. | 06-02-2011 |
20110185616 | HAND GUN - The present invention relates to a changeover system for a hand gun comprising at least two different barrels, able to be applied exchangeably on a first grip piece of a weapon, for bullets of different caliber, and/or at least two different magazines for cartridges of different caliber able to be applied exchangeably on a first grip piece of a weapon. According to the invention, the changeover system comprises at least a second grip piece of the same weapon type, provided for a smaller caliber, on which at least one security arrangement against interchange is provided, which prevents the application of a barrel and/or of a magazine of a larger caliber on the grip piece provided for a smaller caliber. If required, the user of a second large-caliber weapon can then mount components of the small-caliber weapon onto the grip piece of the large-caliber weapon, in order to fire small-caliber ammunition therewith, for example for training purposes. The risk that the barrel or the magazine of the large-caliber weapon are mounted by mistake onto the grip piece of the small-caliber weapon does not, however, exist because this is prevented by the security arrangement(s) against interchange on the grip piece of the small-caliber weapon. | 08-04-2011 |
20120174453 | MAGAZINE DISCONNECT MECHANISM FOR FIREARM - A auto-loading firearm with magazine disconnect mechanism operable to disable the firing control mechanism of the firearm. The firearm may include a frame, a magazine adapted for holding a plurality of cartridges, and a pivotably mounted trigger movable for discharging the firearm. A magazine disconnect member is provided that is selectively engageable with the trigger and movable in response to removing and inserting the magazine. In one embodiment, the disconnect member may be slidably disposed in the frame proximate the trigger. In one position, the disconnect member engages the trigger when pulled to block or restrict movement of the trigger and disable the firing control mechanism to prevent discharging the firearm. A spring biases the disconnect member towards engagement with the trigger. | 07-12-2012 |
20120291325 | MAGAZINE SAFETY ASSEMBLY - A magazine safety assembly configured for use in a firearm includes a pivot point assembly. A lever assembly, including a first portion and a second portion, is configured to pivot about the pivot point assembly from an engaged position to a disengaged position. When positioned in the engaged position, the first portion of the lever assembly releasably engages a trigger assembly of the firearm. When positioned in the disengaged position, the second portion of the lever assembly releasably engages an ammunition magazine assembly positioned within a magazine well of the firearm. A spring assembly is configured to bias the lever assembly into the engaged position when the ammunition magazine assembly is not positioned within the magazine well the firearm. | 11-22-2012 |
20120317858 | HAND GUN - A changeover system is provided for a hand gun comprising at least two different barrels, able to be applied exchangeably on a first grip piece of a weapon, for bullets of different caliber, with at least two different magazines for cartridges of different caliber able to be applied exchangeably on a first grip piece of a weapon. Such a system has at least a second grip piece of the same weapon type, provided for a smaller caliber, on which at least one security arrangement against interchange is provided, which prevents the application of a barrel and/or of a magazine of a larger caliber on the grip piece provided for a smaller caliber. The user of a second large-caliber weapon can then mount components of the small-caliber weapon onto the grip piece of the large-caliber weapon, in order to fire small-caliber ammunition therewith, for example for training purposes. | 12-20-2012 |
20130133237 | FIREARM WITH MAGAZINE DISCONNECTOR - Firearms with magazine disconnectors include a trigger bar having a first end connected to the trigger and a second end proximate the hammer, the trigger bar being movable between a connected position where the second end operably engages the hammer to operate the hammer responsive to trigger actuation, and a disconnected position where the second end is disengaged from the hammer, such that trigger actuation does not operate the hammer. The disconnector is movable between a first position where the disconnector extends into the magazine well and moves the trigger bar to the disconnected position, and a second position where the disconnector is outside of the magazine well and moves the trigger bar to the connected position. The disconnector is biased to the first position in the absence of a magazine in the magazine well, and operable responsive to insertion of a magazine to move to the first position. | 05-30-2013 |
20140215880 | Firearm Having Magazine Safety and Take-Down Mechanism - A firearm has a magazine safety and a take-down mechanism. The magazine safety operates in conjunction with a trigger bar and a disconnect bar. The magazine safety has a safety arm which moves the disconnect bar out of engagement with the trigger bar when a magazine is inserted. This permits the trigger bar to engage the sear. When the magazine is removed, the safety arm disengages from the disconnect bar, permitting the disconnect bar to move the trigger bar into a position where it cannot engage the sear. The safety bar also operates as a take-down mechanism. When moved to a take-down position, the safety arm engages and moves the sear into a position where it cannot engage the striker so as to permit removal of the slide carrying the striker from the firearm. | 08-07-2014 |
20160069627 | Firearm Slide Stop Lock Competitive Interrupt - A slide lock stop interrupt mechanism operable upon the insertion of an interchangeable ammunition magazine into the magazine well of a semi-automatic firearm whereby contact between the magazine and a connection lever is made which automatically manipulates and interrupts the slide lock stop and releases the slide from the open and locked position to advance in a forward direction to chamber the first round contained in the inserted magazine returning the firearm to battery position ready for firing. | 03-10-2016 |
