Abstract
Abstract A multiple positionable selector arrangement for a bolt action firearm positionable adjacent the bolt handle which selector carries a cam and a selector handle.
Associated with the selector are trigger restraining means and a bolt handle blocking plunger means. The selector arrangement is movable to a first active position to cause the trigger restraining means to restrain the trigger and sear so the firearm cannot be discharged and the selector arrangement is movable to a second active position to cause the plunger means to restrain the bolt handle. In the second position, the selector handle also serves to prevent substantial forward movement of the cocking piece.

5 Background o the Invention l. Field of the invention This invention relate to bolt action rifles, and in particular to an inactivating selector arrangement or selectively retraining moment of the Lear, trigger or cocking piece or all three.
2. Prior Art he major component ox a conventional bolt action firearm comprise the barrel, a receiver secured to 15 the rear of the barrel, a cylindrical breech bolt mounted in the receiver in axial alignment with the barrel, a firing mechanism including the trigger mounted on the receiver below the bolt, and the stock. The cylindrical breech bolt is rotatable about it longitudinal axis from I its locked firing position to its unlocked extracting end loading position, the bolt being longitudinally slid~ble within the receiver when it i in it unlocked position.
When the bolt it rotated from to lucked to its 25 unlooked position and thin it moved rearwardly, the spent cartridge is extracted from the chamber of the barrel and is ejected. when the bolt is moved forwardly prom its rearward most position a fresh cartridge is inserted into the chamber of the barrel.

Description of the Preferred Embodiment Referring to FIGS. 1 rod 2, rifle 10 include barrel 11, a receiver 12 secured to the rear of the barrel, a cylindrical breech bolt a Emily 13 outed on 5 receiver 12 to toe roar of end in axial alignment with barrel 11, bolt handle 14 secured to the rearward end ox the bolt amiably 13, a bolt head sleeve 16, a cocking piece 17, a receiver tang 18 end a stock 21. Rifle 10 alto includes trigger 22, trigger guard 23, and a 10 rotatable inactivating selector unit 26. unit 26 it mounted in the receiver and rotates about vertical axis, Turning to FIG. 3, trigger I us pivoted about trigger pivot 28 with upper trigger arm 29 engaged in rear 15 notch 31 of Lear 32. jar 32 it mounted about pivot 33 and spring 36 is interposed between trigger 22 and sear 32. The pulling of trigger 22 to rotate i clockwise about pivot 28 causes trigger arm 29 to move out of Lear notch 31 permitting Lear 32 to rotate clockwise bout 20 pivot 33 thus releasing cocking piece 17. Cocking piece 17 thin moves oared under the force so a spring (not one to trike the rim of the cartridge (not Shown) to fire the rile.
With reverence Jo FOGS. 4-8, it it teen that selector unit 26 it rototill mounted to be turned to end held in three discrete poison determined by detent 37 (see FIG. 7) located in one I of the three I detent recesses 38, 39 end fox 4-7). Selector unit 26 30 include cylindrical body 43 carrying detent 37 in its lower portion (FIG. 7) and two slotted areas go, 45 in the central part of body 43 define respect lively first selector cam surface 46 and second selector cam surface I
Selector unit 26 at o include a thumb piece I Slot 35 area 44 has d thickness greater than cam follower 54 to ~23~5 accommodate follower 54 therein (FIG. 4). Slot area 45 it less thick than Lowe aria I 60 that in the PI. 6 position cam follower 54 cannot enter slot area 45 but instead rides on cylindrical Ursa 50 of selector body 5 43. Turning to FIG., 7, it it seen that c{lm fclllower 54 Audi between frame elements I has a thickness greater than slot area I
On the other hand, swam follower 56 with less 10 thickness than Hollower 54 is accommodated in slot urea 45 throughout toe rotational operation of selector unit 26.
Try jigger eontrsl lever 51 is pivot able about pivot 53. on one end lever 51 carries upper cam follower 54 and 15 lower cam follower 56 while on the opposite end trigger blocking f inter I it located. Lever 51 it urged away Prom trig . r 29 by spring 59.
Turning attention to FIG. I it is teen that 20 cocking piece 17 has a blocking notch 60 in it for receiving offset thumb piece 41 when selector unit 26 is rotated to the position shown in FIGS. 6 and 8. In this selector position, blocking plunger 52 is urged my selector 26 into twilight handle recess 61 to block movement 25 of the jolt handle 14. Upon release of plunger 52 by selector 26 spring 64 withdraws plunger I freeing handle I .
Summarizing, selector unit 26 engages and moves 30 trigger control lever 51 to block the trigger end it in turn like sear (see FIGS. 4-6). Unit 26 also serves 'co restrict movement of cocking piece 17 (see Fits. 2 end 8 and actuates bloclcing plunger 52 to block movement of bolt handle 14 (FIG. 8).
~X3~5 In step-by-step operation selector unit 26 it turned through thumb piece 41 to a passive or neutral position causing detent 37 to snap into detent recess 3 which places cylindrical body 43 with cam surface I end 5 47 in such position that finger 57 of lever 51 owe not block trigger 29 see FIG. 4). The firearm con be fired in this selector mode. Jo restrict trigger movement and in turn Lear movement; the selector unit 26 it moved to inactivating position number one where detent I it moved 10 into recess 39 causing surface 46 to move cam follower 54 of lever 51 placing lever Ginger 57 against trigger arm 29 (see FIG. 5). In this position, trigger arm 29 i inactivated by being restrained from rotating clockwise about pivot 28 (as shown in FIG. 3). The trigger 22 15 cannot rotate and the Lear cannot drop to wire the rifle.
Alternatively, lever 51 and it finger 57 Jay be designed to block rotational movement of sear 32.
Penally, selector unit 26 is movable to 20 inactivating position number two during which movement cylindrical surface 50 moves cam follower 54 to retain lever 51 in it trigger-~ear-restraining position. A
thumb piece 41 is moved to bring selector unit 26 to this third position thumb piece 41 bears against beveled 25 Ursa 63 causing Blake plunger I to move to the right into recess 61 to lock rotational movement ox handle I spring 64 it compressed during thus movement.
Upon the selector teaching this third position, thumb piece 41 is in blocking notch 60 of pin striker 17 30 (cocking piece) to limit forward travel ox striker 17 (see JIGS. 6 end 8).
It will be noted thaw in operation Lowe area 45, cam surface 47 and cam follower 56 operate to move lever 35 51 to the passive or neutral position ox FIG. q while slot I ~t7~L
Roy I cam surface 46, cylindrical surface 50 end cam hollower I opera to move lever 51 into I blocking position and hold it there when selector 26 positions number owe and two us described above With reference to the alternative embodiment shown in PIGS. 9-18 And, in particular with reference first to FIGS. 16 and I it it seen that selector unit aye like selector I it rotatable mounted to be turned 10 to and hold in three discrete pro itchiness determined by detent 70 mounted in detent hole 71 in receiver 12.
Detent spring 72 urges detent 70 into recesses 73, 74 and 75 in selector unit aye. Selector unit aye includes thumb piece 77, cylindrical body portion 78 including configured I foot portion 79. Foot portion 79 carries notch 81 providing a configuration for engagement and disengagement with the trigger which will be explained Trigger 82, pivot able about pivot axis 83, includes finger piece 84, ~ear-en~aging upper trigger arm 86 and trigger extension 20 87 including extension block 88. Alto shown in FIGS. 16 and 18 are trigger side pieces 89~ 91; Lear 92; Lear spring 93; sear pin 94; selector cover plate 95; and rifle sight 96.
Turning 'co JIGS. 12, 13t and 14, it is Zen that when selector unit aye is in position A (FIGS. 12 and 14), configured foot portion 79 of selector aye it positioned to accommodate extension block 88 thus permitting clockwise pivoting of trigger 82, the release ox sear 92 30 and firing of the rifle FIG. 12). As the selector thumb piece 77 it moved back from position A to points where rectangular look 88 it no longer able to be accommodated in notch 81 (such as position B in FIG. I a portion of foot portion 79 moves adjacent block 88 (with minimal 35 clearance) to prevent, in these positions, any significant '123~
rotation of trigger 82. Trigger 82 cannot in Lucy positions be rotated clockwise to Rowley sear 92 to f ire the r i f to .
Turning now to FIG. 17, the selector has been roved further rearward to place it in cocking piece notch 60. ~ove~en'c of selector aye to position C of JIG. 14 to lock bolt handle 14 it the awry operation of selector 26 descry iced above.
