I v V Specification of Letters TBatent.
' interned To all t'r/tom it may concern Be it known that we, Anrrimn H. GLAD- WIN and JOHN A. WILson', citizens of the United States, residing at Alina, in the -,county of Gratiot and State of Michigan,
- have invented certain new and useful Im- -prov-e1nents in Safety Devices for Firearms,
or" which the following is a specification.
' This im'entionrelates to safety devices forfire arms, which are intended to prevent the premature or accidental discharge of a "weapon by reason of its being dropped or carelessly handled.
j "lhisinvention belongs directly in that class of such devices each of which includes a movable shoulder plate connected with ccntrirances arranged toact upon the trig- -geror triggers ot' the gun, those connections lllll.f'l00ltfl' to hold the triggers, and re- 6 lean-u to'free theiiiyby means of a member pressedupon-by the hand when grasping thefgunstoclt. Several operations must be considered.aiul intentioinilly midertaken he- 'ure'the iei5eiinay be discharged by the iiserz' i The object of this invention is the prouction' o 't' asafety device of the nature tell wherein three operations must be taken in 'i'ninll and conducted. and wherein sc the mechanical parts involved are believed to 'beof special construction and arrange nicnt, cheap to nianufactnre, very durable, easily put together, and particularly utl'octire for the purposes set forth Qt are acctnnpanving drawings, Figure l is a n rface view oftlic shoulder plate.

Fig. d is a top view of the, roll and rod 7 guide, and the junction of the head of the rod and the bar for locking the triggers.
Throughout the description and drawings. the same letter is employed to reter to the same, part. i a
Considering the drawings, the butt or gunstocl; A has the customary lock casing a. To bear against theshoulder there is provided the movable plate B, which may be moved back and forth in a container or guiding dished seat I; that is secured to the end of the gunstock as shown in Fig. 2.
' those devices transmitted to the bolt.
Patented Nov. 14, time.
application filed March 16, 1916. Serial No. 84,656.
The gun has the usual trigger guard C, and is provided with triggers D and (1.
In Fig. 2 the connection E shown is attached to the plate B by the screu e, and the connection joins the plate and the rod F that passes movably in an inclined direction through the gunstock A. A return spring j acts upon the rod and holds the shoulder plate yieldingly in its outer posi tion illustrated in Fig. 2. The inner end of the rod is niovably directed by the guide G, also inclined, and, beyond and to the right of the guide G the rod terminates in a head g. The screws H and h from the exterior above and below the gunstock fasten the guide in place.
As best disclosed in Fig. 3, the rod F has the vertical longitudinal slot J and the guide has a like slot j that will register with the slot in the rod. That arrangement permits the locking plate or bolt K to pass movahlv in the slots and through the guide and rod. The belt K has a recess k constructed to allow the rod to enter when the olt, is raised and the rodis moved forward. In Fig. position and in engagement with the recess 7,: of the bolt. The office of thebolt K is to lock and release the rod F. poses there is provided a grip lever L, pivotalh connected with the gunstock and externally placed thereupon. The lever L has a post M erected upon it, and the post is provided with a transverse slot an near its upper end. The slot m engages 'a pin N that projects from the side ofthe bolt K, and the movements of, the lever L are by The lever L is held in its lower position, and the boll K is drawn downwardly by the sprin a which is connected to the lock casing ant bears upon the rounded top or corner of the post M. To avoid having the free end of the grip lever L catch in the hands or sleeve, its extremity is passed through a slot 0 in the trigger guard C, and the extent of the slot limitsthe movement of the lever and, consequently, that of the bolt K.
Again considering Figs. 2 and 4, it will be noted that the head 9 of the rod F is pivotally connected with the trigger lock bar 0, and the bar is arranged to move horizontally in the guide posts P and Q. The bar 0 is provided with the projecting lugs R and 7'. The description 3 the rod is shown in its forward For those purof one will lbs readily be modilied and The lug R is usually rarved but has a flat lower end, and, when the rod is in its laieluvard or outer position as set out lll Fig. 2. it eovers or rests directly above the upwardly extending portion of the trigger l). The upwardly extendin portion is designated by the letter S, am, it the trigger l) were pressed haelnvard by the linger itsnaovement would be arrested by the contact oi the part S with the lag It. lint, it is thoa ht to be clear from the drawing that. if the lot-king bar 0 is moved forward, the log is removed from above the portion 5 of the may be pressed liarluvard, the lug occupying the reeess '1. After the gun is fired and taken from the shoulder, the trigger D is returned to the position shown in Fig. :3 by a suitable spring such as the spring 8. It is not intended to limit this invention to the partirular form of looking bar and lags or triggers herein illustrated, which may still operate simianswer for both.
larl
\l 'hile it is intended that this invention shall he brought to the shoulder to move the rod. when the rod is released by the movement of the bolt K, the gun may be tired from the hip by grasping tlie'grip lever and thereby releasing the rod F, and then, with the thumb of the same hand pressing -'u'waril the staff U by means of its external laaid o. shown in Fig. 2. The staff U is mam-clad with the head of the rod, and
mar move the rod it Force is applied as stated.
ir believed that the operation of this int ith a may be discerned readil from an .\"l=illi\|tll\ of the drawings. \Vhcn the ban 5 iii/.(s th grip oi the gun, the lever 11 is ]|"-Ss-il,ilt toward the gunstock. The movement raises the bolt K and brings the reeess lriiito position to receive the rod F. 'l'he gun being brought to the shoulder, ressure upon the shoulder plate B moves the. rod forward, and removes the lug R and its fellow r from their positions in the way oi the mo ments of the o-i rg t either or both barrels oi the be. discharged. three in number, the gun eannot be disrharged in any way exeepting by the aetua tion of the rod F by means of the staff IT as already set forth.
Having now described this invention and explained the mode oi its operation; what we elaim is:-
1. in a safety device for fire arms the romhination with a gu nstoek, ot' a movable gun may trigger D, and the trigger \Vithoat those v tperations shoulder plate, a rod connected with the said movable date and passing movabl through the said ganstoek, means for gait ing the inner end of the rod, :1 return spring acting upon the rod, the said rod and the said guiding means having longitudinal slots arranged to register with each other, a locking bolt movable in the said slots and having a recess constrarted to receive the rod when the rod is moved forwardly, a grip lever pivotally connected with the said gum-stock and arranged externally thereupon, means for transmitting the movements of the lever to the said bolt, a trigger, and means actuated by the movements of the rod for set-tiring and releasing the trigger.
.2. lit a safety device for firearms, the combination with a gunstock, of a movable shoulder plate, an inclined rod passing movably through the said "anstoek and eonneoted with the said vs houlder plate, inclined means for guiding the inner end 0 the rod, :1 return spring acting upon the rod, the said rod and the said guiding means having longitudinal slots arranged to register with each other forming a vertical opening through the said guide and rod, :1 loeking bolt movable vertically in the said slots and having a recess constructed to receive the rod when the rod is moved forwardly, a grip lever pivot-all eonnerted with the said gnnstook and arranged externally thereupon, means for transmitting the movements of the said lever to the said and means pivotally con rod and movable and releasing the bolt, a tri ger, noeted with the. said horizontally for securing trigger.
