Abstract (en)

[origin: US4745843A] A trigger mechanism for automatic hand firearms with a catching lever is disclosed. The catching lever bears at its forward end a catching pawl which comprises a double-arm rocking lever. The forward arm of the lever is supported against the force of a lock spring by a spring-suspended abutment, while an expanding pressure spring is located between the rearward lever arm of the rocking lever and the catching lever. This arrangement achieves a favorable distribution of forces on discharge of the firearm, so that the catching elements can be produced from lightweight materials.
