ABSTRACT:
A signaling device for firing signaling cartridges in an emergency. The signaling cartridges are adapted to emit light, noise and or smoke signals. The device includes a grip which is manually grasped and which includes a firing lever adapted to be pressed inwardly. The firing lever when in a normal inoperative position forms part of the grip contour. When the firing lever is pressed inwardly it lifts off a rotatably mounted hammer from a firing pin. The hammer then snaps back via the force exerted by a spring to actuate the firing pin. Simultaneously with actuation of the hammer the firing lever also effects a rotational advance of a cartridge magazine of the signaling device. Alternately, the cartridge magazine can be rotationally advanced with the thumb of the user of the device. When the signaling device is held in its "natural" position it is vertically upwardly oriented so that signaling cartridges are fired in that direction.
