Safety device for small arms

Claim 2

A safety device for small arms, comprising a safety lever, a trigger device connected with said safety device, said safety lever being pivotably mounted on the underside of said small arms directly in front of said trigger device crosswise to the operation plane of the latter, and said safety lever including a part differently limiting the movement range of said trigger device depending upon the position of said safety lever, whereby the function positions of said safety lever being disposed symmetrically on both sides thereto, starting from the vertical median plane of said small arms.

Claim 3

A safety device for small arms, comprising a safety lever, a trigger device connected with said safety device, said safety lever being pivotably mounted on the underside of said small arms directly in front of said trigger device crosswise to the operation plane of the latter, and said safety lever including a part differently limiting the movement range of said trigger device depending upon the position of said safety lever, whereby the function positions of said safety lever being disposed symmetrically on both sides thereto, starting from the vertical median plane of said small arms.

Claim 4

A safety device for small arms, comprising a safety lever, a trigger device connected with said safety device, said safety lever being pivotably mounted on the underside of said small arms directly in front of said trigger device crosswise to the operation plane of the latter, and said safety lever including a part differently limiting the movement range of said trigger device depending upon the position of said safety lever, whereby the function positions of said safety lever being disposed symmetrically on both sides thereto, starting from the vertical median plane of said small arms.

Claim 5

The safety device, as set forth in claim 1, wherein said part comprises a disc connected with said safety lever and rotatably mounted on the bottom side of an arms housing perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of said arms, said disc having an end face pointing to said arms housing, said end face including a recess adjacent the outer diameter coordinated to each of the function positions, said recesses including a median recess corresponding with the function position ''''firing'''' and being disposed diametrically opposite of a handle of said safety lever, said recesses including that for the function position ''''safe'''' is disposed on both sides of and symmetrically to said median recess, and said recesses corresponding with said different function positions have different depth and cooperate with a lever rigidly connected with said trigger device.

Claim 6

The safety device, as set forth in claim 2, wherein said disc has a height determining another function position of said safety lever.

Claim 7

The safety device, as set forth in claim 1, wherein said part comprises a disc-shaped segment rotatably mounted in an arms housing parallel to the longitudinal axis of said arms, said part includes abutments corresponding with a related function position, a median of said abutments corresponding with the function position ''''firing'''' is disposed in the direction of a handle of said safety lever, said abutments including that for the function position ''''safe'''' is disposed on both sides of and symmetrically to said median of said abutments, said abutments corresponding with the different function positions have different distances from the rotary point of said segment, and cooperate with a lever connected with said trigger device.
