Abstract: The firing mechanism comprises a trigger (1) operating a hammer release catch (4) via a linkage (3). It has a lock in the form of a lug (10) projecting from the linkage to prevent any rotation of the catch except by pulling the trigger, when the lug on the linkage interacts with the catch via a drive lever (12). The catch and its drive lever rotate about the same axis (6), the lever having two arms (13,14) which interact with the lug and catch respectively. The lever can also have an extension which interacts with the moving element of an electromagnetic actuator controlled by an electrical signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for assigning identifiers, contained in signals emitted by transmitters in a tire pressure control system, to the position of the wheels where the transmitters are located. Said system comprises a pressure sensor, a transmitter and a transmit antenna on each of a plurality of wheels of a vehicle, one or more receive antennas on the vehicle body, and receiving and evaluating units connected to this body via cables. In this method, the signals containing the identifier are intercepted by the receive antenna(s) and transmitted to the receiving and evaluating units, where they are evaluated in accordance with their identifiers. The invention is characterized in that, for the monitored wheels, not just the air pressure in the tires, but also the acceleration obtained from the movement of the wheel is measured. A signal derived therefrom is transmitted via the relevant transmitter in the receiving or evaluating circuit, and evaluated for the information contained in the signal regarding the position of the wheel which emitted the signal.
