Mechanism found in some recoil operated firearms in which two bars are linked to form a knee-joint, with one end of the joint attached to the bolt and the other to the slide or barrel extension. 2, record 10, English, - toggle%20action
Record number: 10, Textual support number: 1 OBS
On closure, the toggle straightens and locks by allowing the centre joint axis to fall slightly below the two end axes. The centre joint being supported in that slightly negative position, recoil pressure on the breech face tends only to strengthen the lock. Recoil is thus transferred via the linkage to the slide or barrel extension and so permit the bolt and barrel to recoil together locked firmly, until the toggle is unlocked by camming action, e.g. Maxim and Vickers machine-guns, 9 mm Luger pistol. 2, record 10, English, - toggle%20action

A la fermeture, la genouillère se redresse et est verrouillée en baissant son axe central légèrement au-dessous des axes des deux extrémités. Le joint central étant supporté dans cette position légèrement négative, la poussée des gaz sur la face de la culasse ne peut que renforcer le verrouillage. Le recul est donc transmis par la genouillère à la glissière ou rallonge de canon, ce qui permet à la culasse et au canon de reculer solidairement, jusqu'à ce que la genouillère soit déverrouillée par l'action d’une came, e. g. les mitrailleuses Maxim et Vickers, le pistolet Luger de 9 mm. 1, record 10, French, - m%C3%A9canisme%20%C3%A0%20genouill%C3%A8re

System of operation common in sub-machine-guns and in which the primer is struck and the cartridge is fired while the bolt is still moving forward. The explosion force has to stop the moving bolt before causing it to recoil, introducing a fractional delay between firing and breech opening, thus permitting the bullet to leave the barrel.

Principe de fonctionnement de la plupart des mitraillettes, où la percussion et la mise à feu s’effectuent alors que la culasse est encore en mouvement vers l'avant. La force de l'explosion doit arrêter la course de la culasse avant de pouvoir la faire reculer, créant un délai minime entre la mise à feu et l'ouverture de la culasse, ce qui permet à la balle de quitter le canon.

Principle of operation of some automatic weapons, whereby the recoil energy imparted to the barrel is used to actuate the mechanism and perform the necessary cycle of operation. Two systems of recoil operation have been in use, as follows: a. Short recoil operation. The breechblock remains locked to the barrel only while the chamber pressure is high. This involves a barrel travel of only about 1/2 inch. The device locking the breechblock to the barrel is then released and the two components separate. The barrel may remain stationary and await the return of the breechblock, but in most modern designs the barrel has its own spring and goes forward into battery, e.g. .50 calibre heavy machine-gun. b. Long recoil operation. The barrel and locked breech recoil a greater distance than the length of the cartridge. The breechblock is then held to the rear while the barrel is driven forward by its own spring. When the barrel is fully forward, it trips the catch releasing the breechblock, which then feeds the next cartridge into the chamber. Mainly encountered in semi-automatic shotguns.

Principe de fonctionnement de certaines armes automatiques, selon lequel la force de recul transmise au canon sert à actionner le mécanisme et à exécuter le cycle requis de fonctionnement. Les deux systèmes suivants de fonctionnement par recul sont utilisés : a. Fonctionnement par court recul. La culasse ne reste verrouillée au canon que pendant la période de haute pression de la chambre. La course requise du canon à cet effet n’ est que de 1/2 pouce environ. Le dispositif de verrouillage de la culasse et du canon se dégage alors et les deux éléments se séparent. Le canon peut rester en place et attendre le retour de la culasse, mais dans la plupart des modèles modernes, le canon est pourvu de son propre ressort et retourne en batterie vers l'avant, e. g. la mitrailleuse lourde de calibre. 50. b. Fonctionnement par long recul. La culasse et le canon verrouillés reculent d’une longueur supérieure à celle d’une cartouche. La culasse est alors retenue vers l'arrière pendant que le canon retourne à l'avant par son propre ressort. A son arrivée à la position avant, le canon actionne un déclencheur, libérant la culasse qui, à son tour alimente la cartouche suivante dans la chambre. Ce système est surtout utilisé dans les fusils de chasse semi-automatiques. Voir aussi "principes de fonctionnement-Armes automatiques". 1, record 25, French, - fonctionnement%20par%20recul
