Abstract

A releasing device for a spring-loaded firing pin (1) or a spring-loaded firing-pin piece, in particular of a firearm, with at least one release trigger (2) that can be activated by hand, in particular, with at least one finger, and with a control body (3) acting on the firing pin (1) or the firing-pin piece. A transmission mechanism is arranged and/or acts between the release trigger (2) and the control body (1), and the transmission mechanism has a series of roller bodies (4) lying one on the other, advantageously balls and/or cylinders.

Claims

1. A releasing device for a spring-loaded firing pin (1) or a spring-loaded firing-pin piece, comprising at least one release trigger (2) that can be activated by hand and a control body (3) acting on the firing pin (1) or the firing-pin piece, and a transmission mechanism acts between the release trigger (2) and the control body (3), and the transmission mechanism includes a series of roller bodies (4), wherein at least two of the roller bodies (4) are in direct contact with each other.

2. The releasing device according to claim 1, wherein every two successive ones of the roller bodies (4) in the series of roller bodies (4) are arranged offset relative to each other.

3. The releasing device according to claim 1, wherein the roller bodies (4) move freely within a transmission channel, the roller bodies free movement being limited within the transmission channel by channel walls (5) and the control body (3).

4. The releasing device according to claim 3, wherein each of the roller bodies (4) directly contacts at least one of the channel walls (5).

5. The releasing device according to claim 3, wherein at least one of the channel walls (5) has at least one wall section (6) projecting in a direction toward a channel interior.

6. The releasing device according to claim 3, wherein at least one of the channel walls (5) has a series of alternating walls sections (7) projecting in a direction toward a channel interior and recessed in an opposite direction.

7. The releasing device according to claim 3, wherein at least one sub-area of at least one of the channel walls (5) is constructed as a rocker (9) that can pivot about at least one rocker pivoting axis (8).

8. The releasing device according to claim 7, wherein the rocker (9) is spring loaded by at least one rocker pull-back spring (10).

9. The releasing device according to claim 8, wherein the rocker pull-back spring (10) has an adjustable spring force.

10. The releasing device according to claim 8, wherein the rocker (9) is spring-loaded by the rocker pull-back spring (10) outside of the rocker pivoting axis (8).

11. The releasing device according to claim 7, wherein at least one of the roller bodies (4) contacts the rocker (9) on one side of the rocker pivoting axis (8) and at least one of the other roller bodies (4) contacts the rocker (9) on an opposite side.

12. The releasing device according to claim 7, wherein more of the roller bodies (4) contact the rocker (9) on one side of the rocker pivoting axis (8) than on an opposite side of the rocker (9).

13. The releasing device according to claim 7, wherein more of the roller bodies (4) contact the rocker (9) on a side of the rocker pivoting axis (8) facing the release trigger (2) than on an opposite side of the rocker (9).

14. The releasing device according to claim 7, wherein a locking piece (11) is arranged on the release trigger (2), the rocker (9) can be fixed in a first position with the locking piece and can be released into at least one released position.

15. The releasing device according to claim 1, wherein the release trigger (2) is a lever that can pivot about a trigger pivoting axis (12).

16. The releasing device according to claim 15, wherein the release trigger (2) is spring-loaded by at least one trigger pull-back spring (13).

17. The releasing device according to claim 16, wherein trigger pull-back spring (13) has an adjustable spring force.

18. The releasing device according to claim 16, wherein the release trigger (2) is spring-loaded by the trigger pull-back spring (13) outside of the trigger pivoting axis (12).

19. The releasing device according to claim 1, wherein the control body (3) is a lever that can pivot about a control-body pivoting axis (14).

20. The releasing device according to claim 19, wherein the control body (3) is a lever spring-loaded by at least one control-body pull-back spring (15).

21. The releasing device according to claim 1, wherein the control body (3) is a pin that is displaceable in a linear motion.

22. The releasing device according to claim 1, wherein the control body (3) contacts at least one of the roller bodies (4).

23. The releasing device according to claim 1, wherein the releasing device is a releasing device for a spring-loaded firing pin (1) or a spring-loaded firing-pin piece of a firearm.

24. The releasing device according to claim 1, wherein the release trigger (2) is activatable with at least one finger.

25. The releasing device according to claim 1, wherein the transmission mechanism is arranged between the release trigger (2) and the control body (3).

26. The releasing device according to claim 1, wherein the roller bodies are balls.

27. The releasing device according to claim 1, wherein the roller bodies are rollers.

28. A firearm with a releasing device according to claim 1 for a spring-loaded firing pin (1) or a spring-loaded firing-pin piece of the firearm.
