1. Actuating mechanism for the cooking device of a self-loading hand gun, characterized inthat an actuating element is rotatably seated therein,that two co-acting elements for limiting rotational movement of said actuating element are provided so as to stop movement of the actuating element after a predetermined angle of rotation along a predetermined sense of rotation, when said actuating element is moved manually in said predetermined rotation sense,that one of said co-acting elements is connected in driving relationship with said actuating element, while the other of said co-acting elements is secured against rotation,that said co-acting elements comprise a guide cam for coaction with forward and rear arms of a lever, and wherein said lever is arranged to pivot about an axis, said axis being movable along a circular path,that the guide cam includes a first portion forming a stop for the forward lever arm, as viewed in said predetermined sense of rotation, when said forward lever arm has moved past said predetermined angle of rotation,that the guide cam includes a second portion spaced at a certain angular distance from said first portion along a rotation sense opposite to said predetermined rotation sense,that said second portion comes into contact with said rear lever arm so as to pivot said rear lever arm in one direction, when said lever is moved in a sense reverse to said predetermined rotation sense from a starting position, in which said forward lever arm rests against said first portion, so that said forward lever arm is subsequently moved in a direction opposite to said one direction by a distance sufficient to prevent said first portion from acting as a stop along said predetermined sense of rotation, thereby enabling said lever to be thereafter moved past said first stop in said predetermined sense of rotation.
