[0031] FIG. 5 is the detailed view of the inner part of the frame (B). One of the parts of the frame (B) is the trigger embodiment (B1). The trigger embodiment (B1) consists of an integral trigger guard (60), a trigger (61), right inner trigger (62) and left inner trigger (63).

[0032] The trigger (61) is the part which is located outside the shotgun (T) and which starts firing with the intervention of the user. There is a right inner trigger (62) and a left inner trigger (63) located within the frame (B) and connected to the trigger (61). These two separate triggers enable the superimposed barrels to be fired separately.

[0033] The safety embodiment (B2) consists of a safety (70), a safety slide (71), a safety fastening plate (72), a safety fastening element (73), a forked safety spring (74), a forked safety spring screw (75) and a selector (76).

[0034] The safety (70) is the part used for making the shotgun secure. The safety (70) is also a part which is located outside the frame (B) like trigger (61) and it is operated with the user intervention. A consistent movement of the safety (70) is provided by the safety slide (71). Fastening of the safety (70) is performed by the safety fastening element (73). All of these parts are secured onto the forked safety (77).

[0035] One of the parts softening the reciprocating motion of the safety (70) and fastening its position is a forked safety spring (74). The forked safety spring (74) is mounted with forked safety spring screw (75).

[0039] There is a lock (81) at the lower part of the receiver (81) and it prevents the shotgun (T) to be opened unintentionally after it is closed. Also the receiver cover (90) is located on the receiver (81).

[0040] Mounting Principle;

[0041] The above mentioned shotgun (T) consists of three main section; Butt (A), frame (B) and barrel rest (C).

[0042] There is a grip (A1) at the lower part of the butt (A). The grip (A1) is a part of the shotgun (T) which is handled during shooting.

[0043] The frame (B) is connected to the butt (A) with an integral trigger guard (60). The integral trigger guard (60) is an integral structure. There is a trigger (61) at the lower part of it. The trigger (61) is connected with a selector (76) on the integral trigger guard (60). The selector (76) is an element which transmits the movement from the trigger (61) to the pins. The selector (76) also allows the shotgun T to be locked. The locking process is provided by the safety embodiment (B2).

[0044] The safety embodiment (62) is a structure which allows the selector (76) to move. Firstly the selector (76) is connected with the safety latch (77). The safety (70) is fastened at the top of the safety latch (77). The safety (70) is an outer part of the shotgun (T) and provides the movement of the selector (76).

[0045] The connection of the safety (70) and the safety latch (77) is as the following;

[0046] Firstly, the forked safety spring (74) is located onto the safety latch (77). The forked safety spring (74) is a part which softens the reciprocating motion of the safety (70) and fastens its position. There is a forked safety spring screw (75) at the end of the forked safety spring (74) and it is used to fasten the forked safety spring (74).

[0047] The safety (70) is fastened to the safety latch (77) by means of the safety fastening plate (72). Also the safety fastening plate (72) is a part which allows the safety spring (74) and the safety (70) to remain in opened/closed state by means of the recesses and projections. Here the safety (70) consistently provides the movement with the safety slide (71). One of the other elements which allow the safety (70) to be fastened onto the safety latch (77) is the safety fastening element (73).

[0048] The right inner trigger (62) and the left inner trigger (63) are placed opposite the selector (76).

[0049] The right inner trigger (62) is connected with the right hammer pin (41). The right hammer pin (41) is the bearing of the right hammer spring (42). The right hammer spring (42) is an element which allows the right hammer (40) to move.

[0050] Similarly, the left inner trigger (63) is connected with the left hammer pin (51). The left hammer pin (51) is the bearing of the left hammer spring (52). The left hammer spring (52) is an element which allows the left hammer (50) to move.

[0051] The right hummer (40) is located opposite the lower pin (30). The lower pin (30) is surrounded by the lower pin spring (31). The lower pin spring (31) provides the lower pin (31) to move back to the previous position following the forward movement.

[0052] Independent Mounting Principle;

[0053] The abovementioned operating principle will be understood from FIG. 5. The parts described above are mounted during the manufacturing process of the frame (B). The lower pin (30) and the upper pin (20) which contact with cartridge and perform blasting can be mounted during the manufacturing process independently from the other parts.

[0054] As seen in FIG. 1, there is an upper pin mounting hole (22) on the receiver (81). In FIG. 2, the parts to be mounted from the outside are seen in demounted state. Firstly, the upper pin spring (21) is engaged with the upper pin (20); the lower pin spring (31) is engaged with the lower pin (30). The ready-to-mount lower pin (30) is inserted in the lower pin mounting hole (32). Similarly, the upper pin (20) is inserted in the upper pin mounting hole (22). After the insertion, the lower pin (30) has been inserted against and in line with the left hammer (50); the upper pin (20) has been inserted against and in line with the right hammer (40). The detailed side view of said insertion is shown in FIG. 5.

[0055] Thereafter the lever fastening pin (13) passes through the pin cavity (131). The lever spring (14) passes through the spring cavity (141) and is fastened onto the receiver (81) by the lever fastening element (15) and is connected to the lever (10). (FIG. 3).

[0056] After the abovementioned mounting, the receiver cover (90) is located on the receiver (81) and is fastened by the receiver cover fastening element (91). (FIG. 4) This fastening process is performed by passing the receiving cover fastening element (91) through the receiver cover fastening element hole (92), followed by passing to the fastening element hole (93) in the receiver (81).

[0057] After this fastening process, the receiver upper pin (20) corresponds to the receiver cover upper pin hole (94); the lower pin (30) corresponds to the receiver cover lower pin hole (95). The barrel is inserted in the shotgun (T) upon the mounting of the trigger mechanism of it and the general mounting is completed.

[0058] The view obtained after the mounting is seen in FIG. 4.

[0059] After the barrel is closed, the unintentional opening of it is provided by the lock (80) below the receiver (81).

[0060] Operating Principle;

[0061] After the abovementioned mounting process, the shotgun (T) is ready to use.

[0062] Firstly, the user fills the cartridges in the barrel. Thereafter the cartridges are located the barrel such that they correspond to the receiver cover upper pin hole (94) and the receiver cover lower pin hole (95).

[0063] The user allows the selector (76) to rest on the right inner trigger (62) and the left inner trigger (63) by forcing the safety (70) in the forward movement direction (X−).

[0064] Thereafter the right inner trigger (62), the right hammer pin (41) and the right hammer (40) force each other respectively when pushing the trigger (61). Lastly, the right hammer (40) moves the lower pin (30) and blasts the cartridge and performs firing.

[0065] In the next trigger (61) movement, the left inner trigger (63), the left hammer pin (51) and the left hammer (50) force each other. Lastly, the left hammer (50) forces the upper pin (20) and performs firing.

[0066] After the firing, the upper pin spring (21) provides the upper pin (20) to move back to the previous position. The lower pin spring (31) provides the lower pin (30) to move back to the previous position.

[0067] The user forces the safety (70) in the backward movement, direction (X+) after using the shotgun (T). By means of this movement the shotgun (T) is secured by disconnecting the selector (76) and the left inner trigger (63) and the right inner trigger (62).
