Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0439717A2] Signalling pistol (10) for flares or the like, having a hollow-cylindrical housing (11), at one end (11') of which an igniter and a cartridge having a pyrotechnic charge ignitable by this are to be arranged exchangeably in the firing position, and in which a spring-loaded release bolt (13) is arranged coaxially and which, by means of a trigger pin (14) projecting outwards through the housing (11), can be selectively displaced counter to the spring force into an easily manually releasable ready-to-fire position (15) remote from the ammunition or into a storage position (16) near to the ammunition, in which an ignition pin (17), fastened to the release bolt (13) on the same side as the ammunition, is held at a distance from the ammunition, and having a mounting, fastened to the housing (11), for a plurality of cartridges to be arranged selectively in the firing position in front of the housing (11). In order to improve a signalling pistol (10) of the type mentioned in the introduction, in such a way that its fired cartridge does not have to be exchanged before a new cartridge can be fired, it is so designed that a fastening of the cartridge mounting (19) to the housing (11) allowing displacement is provided, that the cartridge mounting (19) has a plurality of cartridge fastening points, that the cartridges are selectively displaceable by hand in the firing position in front of the housing end (11') by a displacement of the cartridge mounting (19), and that the cartridge mounting (19) is lockable when the ammunition is in the firing position. <IMAGE>
