In order to secure firearms against unauthorized use, an insert is inserted into a portion of the barrel, which insert has an expandable sleeve. A first expanding device is releasably inserted into one end of the expandable sleeve to thus press lockingly against the inside wall of the barrel. A second expanding device is inserted into the other end of the expandable sleeve. When an axial pressure is applied to the second expanding device, the expandable sleeve engages the inside wall of the barrel. The one end of the expandable sleeve is covered with a protective plate which can only be destroyed by spark erosion when the expandable sleeve is removed from the barrel.

Safety mechanism for preventing unauthorized use of a firearm

In the breech mechanism for a firearm the receiver (2) attached to the barrel has a radially inwardly directed conical locking shoulder (16). A breech head (9) and a locking sleeve (7) are arranged in a slider (3) slidable relative to the breech housing (1) in the barrel direction. The locking sleeve (7) is divided into a plurality of spring tongues (7b), each of which carries a locking element (13) with radially inwardly and outwardly directed cone sections. A spreading cone is arranged in the vicinity of the front end (9a) of the breech head (9) and cooperates with the locking elements (13). An actuating lever (18) is arranged on the slider, connected to a pivot shaft (17). The pivot shaft (17) is connected to a locking lever (19). A two-armed intermediate lever (20) is pivotally mounted on the slider (3) behind the locking lever (19), pivoting about an axis (20a) parallel to the pivot shaft (17) and cooperating with an abutment (22) arranged on the breech housing (1). The free end (19a) of the locking lever (19) so cooperates with the first lever arm (21) of the intermediate lever (20) that, on sliding the slider forwards, the first lever arm (21) comes into position between the abutment (22) and the free end (19a) and the free end (19a) can move over a dead center position defined by the connecting line between the point of engagement of the first lever arm (21) with the abutment (22) and the center of the pivot shaft (17).

Breech mechanism for a firearm, especially a repeater weapon

The firing mechanism for a rifle comprises a trigger (2) fixed to a trigger blade (4) and a two-armed firing lever (5) pivoting in the breech housing, the first lever arm (5a) being directly or indirectly connected to a firing sear (7) which holds a retainer (10) on the end (11a) of the firing pin in the cocked position, whereby the firing spring exerts a turning moment on the firing lever (5) in the cocked position, through the firing pin, the retainer (10) and the firing sear (7). A link (13) is hinged at one end to the trigger blade (4) and at the other end to the second lever arm (5b) by means of two hinge axes (14, 15) running parallel to the trigger axis (3). The first hinge axis (14) at the trigger blade is so arranged relative to the second hinge axis (15) at the second lever arm (5b) that, in the cocked position (FIGS. 2, 4, 6) of the firing mechanism, the link (13) is in compression, and the second hinge axis (15) lies a small distance (a) from a straight connecting line (V) running through the first hinge axis (14) and the trigger axis (3). Accordingly, on cocking the second hinge axis (15) is moved slightly over-center beyond a dead-point position of the link (13) determined by the connecting line (V). A stop (16) is provided on the trigger blade (4) which stop limits the over-center movement of the link (13) and on which the link (13) bears in the cocked position under the action of the turning moment (M).

Firing mechanism for a rifle

The attachment device for rifle slings comprises two eye parts (2) arranged on the stock or barrel (1) of the rifle, each with a transverse hole (3), through which a retaining pin (8) can be stuck. At each end of the rifle sling (4) there is provided a sling sleeve (5). In the middle of each sling sleeve (5) there is provided a recess (7) extending in the longitudinal direction of the sling and into which can the eye part (2) can be inserted. Each retaining pin (8) can be stuck directly through the sling sleeve (5) and has a transverse opening (9) in the vicinity of each of its two ends, through can be pulled a retaining thong (10) attached to the rifle sling (4).

Attachment device for rifle slings

The breech mechanism for a firearm is provided with a breech housing, a locking head connected to the barrel and having a radially inwardly directed conical locking shoulder oriented rearwardly of a cartridge carrier, and a substantially cylindrical breech block movable relative to the breech housing in a direction toward and away from the barrel. A locking sleeve concentrically surrounding the breech block and axially slidable relative thereto to a limited degree, is divided at its front end by a plurality of longitudinal slots into a plurality of spring tongues and carries at the free, front end of each spring tongue a locking element formed in one piece therewith and in the form of an annular segment. Each locking element has a radially outwardly directed cone segment bearing on the locking shoulder in a locking position and having on its front end a radially inwardly directed cone segment with which it bears on a spreading cone arranged in the vicinity of the front end of the breech block. There is further provided an actuating device which, with the breech closed, pushes the locking sleeve axially forwards relative to the breech block.
