(19) FIGS. 1 through 4 show the functional sequence of the disarming of a hammerless self-loading pistol 1 and FIGS. 5 through 8 show the individual elements of the pistol 1 before, during and after firing a round. The structure and function of the device for preventing a tensioning of the firing pin spring during the disarming of the pistol 1 are explained with the assistance of FIGS. 9 through 17.

(20) FIG. 1 shows in exterior view a self-loading pistol 1 in assembled state but with a removed magazine 3. The self-loading pistol 1 comprises a grip 2 and a lock slide 7 surrounding a barrel 9. A trigger mechanism shown in FIGS. 5 through 17 can be actuated in known manner via a trigger 5. By means of an exterior handle 15a a disarming shaft 15 that cannot be seen here, shown in FIGS. 9 through 17 arranged in the grip 2 can be rotated in a locking position or in a disarming position.

(21) The handle 15a points horizontally to the rear in the locking position, also called the cocking position. In the process, among other things it blocks a lug 12 on the underside of the barrel 9 (cf. FIG. 4), and thus prevents a removal of the barrel 9. In the disarming position the handle 15a points downward (see FIGS. 3 and 4). In this position the barrel 9 and the lock slide 7 as well as the recoil spring assembly 39 can be pulled forward from the grip 2 after release of an in and of itself known slide catch lever 10, since the lug 12 can glide over the disarming shaft 15. Such a disarming shaft is described for example in DE 10 2013 010 969.8 of the applicant of the same name, to which reference is explicitly made here.

(22) The slide catch lever 10 catches and holds in known manner the lock 7 in its slide catch position (cf. FIG. 2). On the lock slide underside a half-round recess 6 is provided, which is positioned such that it only enables a rotation of the disarming shaft 15 in the slide catch position in its cocking or disarming positionand only when the magazine 3 has been previously removed.

(23) FIG. 2 shows the self-loading pistol 1 with retracted lock slide 7 in an open slide catch position held by the slide catch lever 10. In the case of the retraction of the lock slide 7 in its slide catch position any cartridge remaining in the cartridge chamber will be ejected. The disarming shaft 15 is in its locking position.

(24) In the representation in FIG. 3 the disarming shaft 15 is rotated clockwise by means of the handle 15a now pointing downward. This is only possible in the slide catch position, in which the disarming shaft 15 is in the semicircular recess 6 on the lock slide underside; moreover only in the case of the removed magazine, thus an empty magazine compartment.

(25) FIG. 5 shows the pistol 1 with cocked firing pin prior to its release and firing. As is known, the following elements are provided for firing: the trigger 5, the trigger safety 5e, a trigger bar 27 coupled with the trigger 5, a release pawl 45 (see FIGS. 6 and 7), a sear 19, the firing pin 17 with a lug 17a and the lock slide 7. The structure of these components and their interaction will be described in the following.

(26) The trigger 5 is pivotably mounted around a trigger shaft 5a and pre-stressed by a torsion spring 5b (cf. FIG. 7) and a spring 37 (cf. FIG. 11) in its resting position shown in FIG. 5. The trigger 5 comprises on its rear side a lug 5c (cf. in particular FIG. 9). This lug 5c serves as a cover, in order to make penetration of dirt and foreign bodies via the trigger opening in the grip more difficult.

(27) The trigger bar 27 is coupled in terms of movement with its front end via a pin 5d acting as a trigger bar bearing axis forcing the trigger 5 through transversely to the direction of fire and pivoted around the pin 5d. The trigger bar 27 is coupled in known manner for its support in the grip 2 on its underside approximately centrally with a double curved (earthworm-like curves) spring 37 (cf. FIGS. 6 and 7). The trigger bar support in the grip 2 is schematically shown in FIGS. 9, 12 and 14. This spring facilitates a vertical and translational movement of the trigger bar 27 as well as a movement of the trigger 5 to its resting position. On its rear end the trigger bar 27 comprises a lower tab 29 formed on the right and on its upper end an upper tab 31 formed on the left. The functions of the tabs 29 and 31 will be explained later.

(28) The trigger also comprises a safety latch 5e, which in known manner protects the trigger from an unintentional release of said trigger in the case of gravitational or shock accelerations. This security latch 5e is likewise pivoted in the trigger on the trigger bar bearing axis 5d and in the case of the actuation of the trigger is automatically swiveled around this axis and against a spring in the trigger not shown in the figure, as a result of which the trigger is unlocked vis--vis the grip and which can be pivoted around the trigger shaft (5a).

(29) The release pawl 45 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is provided on the left side, on the rear end of the trigger bar 27. The release pawl 45 is pivoted around a release pawl bearing axis 49 deployed in the grip 2 forcing it through transversely to the direction of fire. The deployment of the release pawl bearing axis 49 in additional wall elements of the grip 2 is known and not shown in the figure. The release pawl 45 is bent to the left on its rear, lower end tab-shaped for engagement with the sear 19 (cf. following paragraph) and comprises on its rear upper end a nose 47 projecting in the direction of fire to the upper tab 31 of the trigger bar 27.

(30) The sear 19 is provided in the region of the rear end of the trigger bar 27 and parallel to it, on the left side of the upper nose 37 of the release pawl 45 underneath the firing pin 17 and is pivoted around a bearing axis 19b in the grip 2. On the rear end of the sear 19 a nose 19d protrudes centrally to the rear. Underneath the nose 19d a somewhat rectangular recess connects, which is limited on the bottom by a hook-like end 19e of the sear 19 (cf. FIG. 15). The release pawl 45 engages into this recess with its lower tab-like end (cf. FIGS. 6 and 7). A compression spring (cf. FIGS. 8 through 17) provided centrally on the underside of the sear 19, acting as a return spring 19c, supports the sear 19 downward in the grip 2. The support in the grip 2 is shown schematically in FIGS. 9, 12 and 14. On the front end of the sear 19 a pin 19a extending in the direction of the trigger bar 27 transversely to the axis of the bore of the pistol 1 is provided. On the topside of the sear 19 a step 19f is attached.

(31) The firing pin 17 is pivoted in longitudinally displaceable manner in a firing pin guide 18 and comprises on its front end a firing pin tip 17c. From its firing pin tip 17c it thickens conically to the rear to an annular shoulder 17d serving as a firing pin spring bearing, to which in turn a section 17b with low diameter connects. A firing pin spring 17e surrounds the firing pin 17, said spring supporting itself with its front end on the shoulder 17d and with its rear end on a firing pin guide sleeve 18a provided in the firing pin guide 18 and surrounding the firing pin 17. The firing pin guide sleeve 18a guides the rear end of the firing pin 17. The firing pin guide sleeve 18a has a longitudinal slot 18b on its underside running about of the length of the sleeve, in which the lug 17a of the firing pin is guided.

(32) On its rear end the firing pin guide 18 is supported on the termination and support piece 58, in whose inner contour it is immersed spring-loaded and thus locks the termination and support piece 58 that is vertically displaceable to the direction of fire in the rear part of the lock slide and pivoted in a link in known manner as in the case of other pistols.

(33) Further, on the rear end of the firing pin 17 a lug 17a protruding downward, forcing through the firing pin guide sleeve 18a in the longitudinal slot 18b is provided. Within the firing pin guide sleeve 18a a firing pin return spring 17f is arranged: This firing pin return spring is supported with its rear end on the firing pin lug 17 and with its front end on the firing pin guide sleeve 18a and in the case of a fired firing pin 17 in resting position pulls it back to the rear.

(34) As initially described, the sear 19 protrudes in its cocking position with its rear upper end in the path of motion of the lug 17a and in the cocking and rotating of the cylinder of the pistol 1 catches the firing pin 17 proceeding with the lock slide 7 on its lug 17a. In the cocking position shown in FIG. 5 the lug 17a adjoins with its lower front edge in the step 19f of the sear 19 and is held by it. The further advanced lock slide 7 has tensioned the firing pin spring 17e in known manner against the firing pin spring bearing 17d, since the lock slide 7 carries the firing pin guide sleeve 18a along during the further advancement, so that its front end compresses the firing pin spring 17. The trigger mechanism is ready to fire in this mutually operative connection.

(35) FIGS. 6 and 7 show the tensioned firing pin 17 at the moment of its release through the sear 19. The trigger 5 is actuated to the rear against the spring force of the torsion spring 5b and of the spring 37. The pin 5d has carried the trigger bar 27, which is coupled on it, along to the rear, wherein the front end of the trigger bar has moved along a circular path around the trigger shaft to the rear, above. The rear end of the trigger bar 27 is displaced in longitudinal direction to the rear, below in comparison to FIG. 5, wherein the lower tab 29 of the trigger bar 27 is guided from a recess 24 in a disconnector bar 21 to the rear and thus moves the rear end of the trigger bar 27 downward. The upper tab 31 of the trigger bar 27 in the process impacts with its rear face the nose 47 of the release pawl 45, so that said pawl is pivoted along a circular path around its bearing axis 49 to the lower rear. In the process the release pawl 45, via its engagement has swiveled the sear 19 against the spring force of the return spring 19c (cf. Figure. 9 and the following) around the bearing axis 49 to the lower rear. The lug 17a as result disengages from the step 19f of the sear 19 and can freely move forward for firing. At the end of its path of motion the firing pin 17 strikes with its tip 17c on a cartridge bottom of a cartridge provided in the cartridge chamber 51 not shown in the figure and ignites in known manner a propellant charge.

(36) FIG. 8 shows the pistol 1 with a released firing pin and empty cartridge chamber. The firing pin spring 17e is uncocked and the firing pin 17 is in its front position, at a distance from the cartridge chamber 51. Since the firing pin spring 17e is supported on the shoulder 17d, it does not push the firing pin 17 completely and permanently to a primer of the cartridge in the cartridge chamber that is not shown in the figure. Instead, when the round is fired the firing pin 17, due to its inertia, goes beyond the position shown in FIG. 8 and in the process compresses its return spring 17f in the firing pin guide sleeve 18a. After advancement and in the event of an empty cartridge chamber 51 the return spring 17f retracts the firing pin 17 slightly, until the firing pin head 17g abuts the firing pin spring bearing (17d).

(37) The trigger 5 is swiveled back to its resting position in FIG. 8. The pin 5d in the process has carried the trigger bar 27 coupled to it forward, wherein the front end of the trigger bar has moved on its circular path around the trigger shaft 5a forward, below. The rear end of the trigger bar 27 is back in its initial position according to FIG. 5, as are the sear 19 and the release pawl 45 not shown in FIG. 8.

(38) To cock the firing pin 17 and its spring 17e the lock slide 7 must be pulled back until the sear 19 leaves the lug 17a. After that the lock slide should be released again.

(39) The structure and function of the device for prevention of the tensioning of a firing pin spring in the disarming of a self-loading pistol 1 will now be described with the assistance of FIGS. 9 through 17. Since the firing pin spring 17e is not tensioned in the disarming, it is also not possible for an unintentional shot to be fired.

(40) The device for prevention of the tensioning of a firing pin spring comprises according to FIGS. 9 through 17 the following components: the trigger 5, the disarming shaft 15, the trigger bar 27 coupled with the trigger 5, the disconnector bar 21, the sear 19, the firing pin 17 with its lug 17a and the lock slide 7. The interaction of these components in the disarming will be described below.

(41) FIGS. 9 through 11 show a part of the trigger mechanism in its cocking position in the case of a closed lock slide 7 as well as the firing pin 17 in its cocking position. The lock slide 7 shown in FIG. 9 (schematic) is in its front position, in which its front end is nearly flush with the barrel 9 (cf. also FIG. 1). The handle 15a of the disarming shaft 15 points horizontally to the rear in its locking position (cf. also FIG. 10) and prevents, as initially described, a disarming of the pistol 1.

(42) The trigger 5 comprises on its upper end a stop 35 configured as a lug protruding forward, which is spring loaded by the torsion spring 5b and the spring 37 pre-stressing the trigger in its resting position abuts the inner circumference of the disarming shaft 15.

(43) The disarming shaft 15 prevents a translational forward motion of the stop 35 here and thus a forward motion of the trigger 5 and the trigger bar 27 coupled with the trigger. FIGS. 10 and 11 show this state in each case viewed from an angle above from the right or left side of the pistol 1however without representation of the lock slide 7. On the rear side of the inside part of the disarming shaft 15 a recess 23, preferably wedge-shaped, is provided, which faces the stop 35 only in the disarming position, that is, only when the disarming shaft 15 is rotated in this position, and thus makes space for a forward motion of the stop 35 (cf. FIGS. 10 through 13).

(44) The disconnector bar 21 is pivoted around the trigger shaft 5a on its front end and comprises on its rear end an approximately half-round, tub-shaped recess 24, which has in its front region a step 25 rising from the tub bottom. On the upper side of the disconnector bar 21 facing the lock slide 7 a roughly trapezoid elevation 33 is constructed. This is provided in the lock slide 7 for engagement with a complementary first, front recess 8 or with a second, rear recess 8a. In the closed lock slide position shown here the elevation 33 is in engagement with the rear recess 8a. When the lock slide 7 is moved to the rear it glides with its non-recessed region 8b over the elevation 33, impacts it downward and as a result swivels the disconnector bar 21 downward, until the elevation 33 reaches the slide catch position in engagement with the front recess 8 (cf. FIG. 12).

(45) In the uncocked position shown in FIGS. 9 through 13 the trigger bar 27 grips from below with its lower tab 29 roughly centrally the recess 24 of the disconnector bar 21 and is spaced apart from the step 25. The upper tab 31 protrudes laterally in the direction of the sear 19 arranged in the rear next to the trigger bar 27. The trunnion 19a of the sear 19 is offset somewhat to the front of the tab 31, so that these two elements do not engage one another in the cocking position of the trigger bar.

(46) In FIG. 12 the lock slide 7 is retracted to its slide catch position. Proceeding from FIG. 9 in the retracting of the lock slide 7 the roughly trapezoid rear slide recess 8a glides across its front angled deflectorunder the influence of the force directed at an angle behindover the elevation 33 of the disconnector bar 21. The non-recessed region 8b of the lock slide 7 then downwardly impacts the disconnector bar 21 in the retraction of the lock slide 7 until the elevation 33 engages with the front slide recess 8. The rear recess 8a, which in FIG. 9 was still in engagement with the elevation 33 of the disconnector bar 21, is free. The lock slide 7 carries the firing pin 17 arranged within along with it to the rear during the retraction, so that its lug 17a disengages with the sear 19. The firing pin spring 17 is uncocked in this state.

(47) If the trigger bar 27 releases the sear 19 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, and the firing pin 17 ignites a cartridge located in the cartridge chamber, then during the return of the slide 7 over the non-recessed region 8b of the slide the disconnector bar 21 is moved downward over its elevation 33 and carries along the trigger bar via the lower latch (29) of the trigger bar 27 abutting the disconnector bar 21.

(48) As a result of this, the upper tab 31 of the trigger bar 27 slides downward to the recess 45a of the release pawl 45, whereupon the release pawl 45 and the sear 19 are returned to their initial and catch position by the return spring 19c and the firing pin can be caught again during the forward motion of the lock. If the trigger is released again after firing, the lower tab 29 of the trigger bar 27 slides back to the recess 24 of the disconnector bar 21. In the process, the spring 37 presses the trigger bar 27 upward to its initial position (cf. FIG. 5), as a result of which the upper bar 31 of the trigger bar comes to rest against the nose 47 of the release pawl 45 again and the cocked firing pin 17 can be released again by actuation of the trigger via the upper tab 31 of the trigger bar 27 and the nose of the release pawl 45. The disconnector bar 21, as indicated by its name, also serves as a disconnector element in the case of semi-automatic locking.

(49) In FIG. 12 the disarming shaft 15 is still in its locking position, so that the stop 35 of the trigger 5 continues to abut the disarming shaft 15 during pre-stressing of the trigger torsion spring 5b and the spring 37. FIG. 13 shows this state in a view at an angle from above.

(50) FIGS. 14 and 15 show the disarming position of the device for prevention of the tensioning of a firing pin spring in the disarming. In contrast to FIGS. 12 and 13, the outer handle 15a and thus the disarming shaft 15 is rotated downward in a clockwise direction by approximately 90. After the rotation the recess 23 with its edge 23 of the disarming shaft 15 faces the spring-loaded stop 35. Said stop swivels with the trigger 5 under the force effects of the trigger torsion spring 5b and the spring 37 in counter-clockwise direction on a circular path around the trigger shaft 5a until it impacts the upper edge 23a of the recess 23. The initial position of the trigger 5 is shown dashed in FIG. 14. In the case of its swivel motion the trigger 5 also carries along the trigger bar 27 coupled with it forward to the position shown in FIGS. 14 and 15. As a consequence, the lower tab 29 of the trigger bar 27 comes to rest below the step 25 of the disconnector bar 21 and the upper tab 31 of the trigger bar 27 comes to rest above the trunnion 19a of the sear 19. The lock slide is still in its rear slide catch position.

(51) FIGS. 16 and 17 still show the device for prevention of the tensioning of a firing pin spring during disarming in its disarming position as well as the lock slide 7 guided by the user for disarming of the self-loading pistol partially forward. Proceeding from FIG. 14, in the forward motion of the lock slide 7 the trapezoid front recess 8 glides across its left rear angled deflector under the influence of the force directed forward across the elevation 33 of the disconnector bar 21. The lower contour of the non-recessed region 8b of the lock slide 7 downwardly impacts the elevation 33 and with it the disconnector bar 21 during the further forward motion of the lock slide 7. Since the trigger bar 27 abuts with its lower tab 29 on the step 25 of the disconnector bar 21, the trigger bar is likewise moved downward via the disconnector bar 21 and in the process, in the event of the forward motion of the lock in unlocked position of the disarming shaft 15 with its upper tab 31 disengages the sear 13 via its trunnion 19a with the likewise forward gliding lug 17a of the firing pin, so that the firing pin is neither caught nor cocked. In the closed position of the lock slide 7 the elevation 33 is in the rear recess 8a and is not impacted. In the pulling of the lock slide 7 forward the non-recessed region 8c of the elevation impacts the elevation 33. During its impact by the non-recessed region 8b or 8c the disconnector bar 21 in the disarming position positively forces its step 25 on the tab 29 and thus the trigger bar 27 downward. Said trigger bar with its upper tab 31 in the process is brought into form-fitting engagement with the trunnion 19a of the sear 19 and moves it, as has already happened in the case of the recess 8 and the non-recessed region 8b, against the force of the return spring 19c downward out of the circular path of the lug 17a on the firing pin 17, wherein the lug 17a on the firing pin 17 in this position of the lock slide 7 can no longer be caught by the sear 19. In the locking position, on the contrary the disarming shaft 15 blocks the trigger bar 27 in its rear position, so that in the case of a non-actuated trigger its lower tab 29 is offset laterally to the step 25 approximately centrally in the recess 24 of the disconnector bar 21 (cf. FIGS. 9 through 13). In this position the disconnector bar 21 cannot impact the tab 29, since the depth of the recess 24 corresponds approximately to the height of the elevation 33 so that a positive connection of these elements is not possible. Also, in the cocking position the top tab 31 of the trigger bar 27 is offset in longitudinal direction to the trunnion 19a (cf. FIGS. 9 through 13) and therefore cannot impact it.

(52) In the disarming position of the individual elements shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 a risk-free pulling of the lock slide 7 forward is possible, since the sear 19 can no longer catch the firing pin 17 on its lug 17a and therefore also cannot tension the firing pin spring 17e.

(53) In principle it is possible to replace the recesses 8, 8a of the lock slide 7 and the elevation 33 of the disconnector bar 21 with other geometrical shapes and as a result likewise enable an effective transfer of force. The step 25 of the disconnector bar 21 and the trunnion on the sear 19 or the tabs 29, 31 on the trigger bar 27 can likewise be replaced by other functionally comparable elements without restricting the efficiency of the device.
