ABSTRACT:
A mechanical device for initiating the firing of a large cannon, comprising cylindrical case with a generally cylindrical yoke slidably mounted therein with a generally cylindrical hammer in turn mounted in said yoke. A lever is held up against the aft end of the case by means of an internal spring. The device is cocked by moving the lever sidewise in any direction, or directly aft. During cocking the hammer and yoke are moved aft. Upon completion of the cocking movement, the hammer is automatically released and moves forward to strike the firing pin. Upon release of the lever, the yoke and other parts are automatically reset under the action of springs.
