Abstract
The rapier is constructed so that the tongue is guided at one end by an articulated connection to the actuating lever and at the opposite end in the hook. Guide surfaces for the tongue in the casing are eliminated. A compression spring biases the tongue into the hook and a second spring biases the tongue tip against one flank of the hook.
