Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to firearm arrangements and to hammer assemblies therefor.
- In breaking down semi-automatic pistols of the type disclosed in US-A-1,070,582, issued August 19th, 1913 to J. M. Browning, and generally referred to as the conventional Colt Government Model .45, an operator is faced with a multitude of individual components, all of which must be carefully kept track of and carefully returned to their rightful positions in the handgun.
- In an attempt to adapt handguns to accepting more than a single caliber of cartridge, interchangeable components have been introduced. In US-A-2,090,657, fur example, issued August 24, 1937 to D. M. Williams, there is shown and described a modified pistol of the'582 type having a subcaliber barrel and slide which may be substituted for the standard parts to enable subcaliber ammunition to be used.
- In an attempt to make conversions as convenient as possible, there have been provided various components in modular form, such as complete barrel assemblies, slide-receiver assemblies, frame and trigger assemblies, and the like, affording quick and easy interchangeability of packages of components.
- In some instances of conversion, it is necessary to adapt the hammer assembly and/or safety assembly to the "new" slide assembly. By and large, such components constitute a multiplicity of parts, mostly small in size, easily lost, and certainly not quick and easy to disassemble and reassemble.
- US-A-3,016,646 discloses a removable hammer assembly for a pistol according to the preamble of claims 1 and 6 which assembly includes a hammer, a spring for biasing the hammer to the firing position and a sear for retaining the hammer in a cocked position. In addition, a disconnector is provided for disabling the trigger of the pistol when the slide is retracted. The hammer assembly is insertable into the firearm by means of a vertical slide and is locked in place by means of the slider.
- Although the pistol comprises a safety mechanism, this is mounted on the pistol frame and not on the hammer assembly and is arranged to act directly on the trigger mechanism. Thus significant parts of the firearm mechanism are not readily removable from the firearm.
- US-A-3,713,241 discloses a pistol having a removable hammer assembly, the assembly being removable by rotation thereof relative to the pistol frame. The hammer assembly includes a hammer, a hammer spring, a sear and for cooperating with the hammer in conventional manner. In addition, the assembly includes an ejector element. However, no disconnector or safety mechanism is mounted on the hammer assembly.
- DE-C-90,430 discloses a pistol having a removable hammer assembly although removal of the assembly is not a simple operation and it is not intended that this be performed by the user. The assembly comprises a hammer, a hammer bias spring and a safety mechanism, but no sear coupling the trigger to the hammer and arranged to hold the hammer in a cocked position.
- An object of the invention is to provide a firearm of the type having a modular hammer assembly including a sear with an improved safety mechanism which is readily removable from the firearm, and another object is to provide a hammer assembly for such a firearm.
- According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a firearm arrangement comprising a frame assembly, a modular hammer assembly, a slider assembly carrying a firing pin, a safety means and a barrel assembly, said hammer assembly comprising:
- a housing;
- slide means on said housing for coupling the hammer assembly to the frame assembly such that the hammer assembly may be withdrawn from or inserted into the firearm arrangement as a modular unit;
- hammer means mounted in said housing;
- spring means disposed in said housing and biasing said hammer toward a firing position;
- a sear pivotally mounted in said housing and adapted to engage said hammer means and retain said hammer means in a cocked position against said spring means; and
- disconnector means slidably mounted in said housing, said slider assembly being arranged to slide on said frame assembly and said hammer assembly to lock the hammer assembly in said frame assembly characterised in that:
- the safety means is mounted on said hammer assembly and is movable between an inactive position and an active position in which it decouples said sear from said hammer means; and
- safety actuator means is provided on said slider assembly and is operable to engage said safety means to move the safety means to said active position.
- According to another aspect of the invention there is provided, for use in a firearm arrangement comprising a frame assembly, a slider assembly, a safety means and a barrel assembly according to said one aspect, a hammer assembly comprising:
- a housing;
- slide means on said housing for coupling the hammer assembly to said frame assembly;
- hammer means mounted in said housing;
- spring means disposed in said housing and biasing said hammer toward a firing position;
- a sear pivotally mounted in said housing and adapted to engage said hammer means and retain said hammer means in a cocked position against said spring means; and
- disconnector means slidably mounted in said housing characterised in that:
- the safety means is mounted in said housing and is movable between an inactive position and an active position in which it decouples said searfrom said hammer means.
- For a better understanding of the invention, and to show how the same may be carried into effect, reference will now be made, by way of example to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Fig. 1 is a side elevational view of a portion of a firearm assembly with parts broken away, showing a frame assembly, a slide receiver, a barrel assembly (in part) and a modular hammer and safety assembly, illustrative of an embodiment of the invention, in place in the firearm, parts of the assemblies being shown in section to more clearly show the various components thereof, the hammer and safety assembly being shown in "at rest" position without the safety engaged;
- Fig. 2 is an enlarged side elevational view of portions of Fig. 1, with additional components shown;
- Fig. 3 is a rear elevational view of a portion of the assembly shown in Fig. 2;
- Fig. 4 is similar to Fig. 1, but shows the assembly in a cocking position;
- Fig. 5 is similar to Fig. 4, but shows the assembly in a cocked position;
- Fig. 6 is similar to Figs. 1 and 2, but shows the assembly in a safety "on" position;
- Fig. 7 is an enlarged side elevational view, similar to Fig. 6, but shows the safety "on", and illustrates the complementary operation of the slide receiver and hammer and safety assembly;
- Fig. 8 is a rear elevational view similar to Fig. 3 but shows the assembly in an alternative position;
- Fig. 9 is a top plane view of the illustrative hammer and safety assembly;
- Fig. 10 is a front elevational view of the hammer and safety assembly;
- Fig. 11 is a side elevational view of the hammer and safety assembly; and
- Fig. 12 is a side elevational view similar to Figs. 2, 5 and 7, but showing the assembly in a cocking position with the safety actuated.
- Referring to the drawings, it will be seen that the illustrative hammer and
safety assembly 2 is disposed in a pistol including aframe assembly 4 having as portions thereof a trigger guard 6, atrigger mechanism 8, agrip portion 10, and abarrel mounting portion 12. The pistol further includes abarrel assembly 14 connectable to thebarrel mounting portion 12 and aslide receiver 16 slidably received by and mountable on the frame assembly. - The modular hammer and
safety assembly 2 includes ahousing 20 having extending therefrom a slide means (22 (Figs. 9, 11) adapted to interconnect with a slide means 25 on theframe assembly 4 for sliding interconnection with slide means 23 of the slide receiver 16 (Figs. 7, 8), the slide receiver thereby locking the hammer andsafety assembly 2 in place in theframe assembly 4. In assembly, the hammer andsafety assembly 2 is inserted in theframe assembly 4 such that the respective hammer and safety, and frame, slide means are aligned. Theslide member 16 is then slid onto the combined frame and hammer and safety assemblies by sliding engagement of the slide means 23 with the aligned slide means. Theslide receiver 16 locks together the frame and hammer and safety assemblies 4, 2. Also extending from thehousing 20 is an ejector means 24 (Fig. 9, 11). Ahammer 26 is pivotally mounted in thehousing 20 by apin 28 disposed centrally of apawl portion 30 of thehammer 26. Thepawl portion 30 is provided withteeth 32 on a portion of its periphery. Aspring 34 is mounted on apin 36 in thehousing 20 and extends into arecess 38 in thehammer 26. Thespring 34 biases the hammer forwardly, or leftwardly as viewed in Fig. 1. - A
sear 40 is pivotally mounted in thehousing 20 by apin 42. Afirst end 44 of thesear 40 is adapted to engage theteeth 32 of thehammer pawl portion 30; asecond end 45 of thesear 40 is adapted to be engaged by thetrigger mechanism 8. Thus, thesear 40 interconnects thetrigger mechanism 8 and thehammer 26. - A disconnector means 46 is disposed in the
housing 20 and comprises apin 48 slidably disposed in abore 50 in thehousing 20. Thepin 48, at afirst end 52 thereof is engageable with theslide receiver 16, and at asecond end 54 thereof carries apusher member 56 operable to divert movement of thetrigger mechanism 8 during a cocking operation, as will be further explained below. - A safety means 60 is mounted in the
housing 20 and includes a reciprocallymoveable plunger 62 engageable with the sear 40 to separate the sear and the hammer pawl portion, releasing the hammer but shielding afiring pin 63, as will be further discussed below. Theplunger 62 has a slot 64 therein in which is disposed apin 66, the slot and pin arrangement permitting movement of the plunger selectively toward and away from the sear 40. An actuating lever 68 (Fig. 12) may be located on the side of theslide receiver 16 and be operatively connected to the plunger, as by a rotatable cam means 69, to serve as an actuator for the safety plunger. As shown in Figs. 3 and 8, it is preferable that anactuating lever 68 be disposed on each side of theslide receiver 16 to facilitate manipulation by either hand of an operator. - In Figs. 1 and 2, the firearm is shown at rest, with the safety in the inactive, or raised, position. The
hammer 26 is in a forward position, biased forwardly by thespring 34. Thefirst end 52 of thedisconnector pin 48 is disposed in arecess 70 in theslide receiver 16. - To cock the piece, the slide receiver is moved rearwardly by an operator to the position shown in Figs. 4 and 12. Referring particularly to Fig. 4, it will be seen that the rearward movement of the
slide receiver 16 has forced thedisconnector pin 48 out of therecess 70 and downwardly, causing thepusher member 56 at thesecond end 54 of thedisconnector pin 48 to bear against thetrigger mechanism 8, pushing the trigger mechanism downwardly and out of alignment with the sear 40. At this point, pressure applied to the trigger by the operator will fail to actuate the hammer. The rearward movement of theslide receiver 16 relative to the hammer andsafety assembly 2, has further caused the hammer to pivot uponpin 28, against the bias of thespring 34 to the position shown in Figs. 4 and 12. Thetoothed portion 32 of thepawl portion 30 of the hammer has been engaged by thefirst end 44 of the sear 40, holding the hammer in a rearward position, as shown. Aleaf spring 74 extending from theframe assembly 4 bears against the sear 40 and exercises a steadying and holding influence thereon. - When the
slide receiver 16 returns to its for- wardmost position (Fig. 5), thedisconnector pin 48 is positioned to re-enter theslide recess 70. Atrigger spring 72 urges thetrigger mechanism 8 back to its normal position, which in turn urges thedisconnector pin 48 back into theslide recess 70. - At this point, if it is not desired to fire the piece, the
actuator lever 68 may be rotated to move thesafety plunger 62 into abutting engagement with the sear 40, separating the sear from thepawl portion 30 of thehammer 26, thereby releasing the hammer and permitting the hammer to pivot forwardly under the influence of the spring 34 (Fig. 7). Turning thesafety actuating lever 68 serves to rotate the cam means 69, as aforementioned, which serves to move cam stop means 76 into a position protecting thefiring pin 63 from contact by the hammer 26 (Fig. 7). Thus, the actuation of the safety causes the hammer to move forwardly, but prevents the hammer from striking the firing pin. To fire the pistol, it is necessary to release the safety and re-cock the pistol. - Upon firing of the pistol, expansion of gases causes rearward movement of the
slide receiver 16 to cock the pistol and repeat the above cycle. As the slide receiver proceeds rearwardly the slide receiver and the ejector means 24 cooperate to remove a spent cartridge from the chamber of the gun, in accordance with known methods. If the safety is "on" and an operator attempts to cock the piece, the engagement of theplunger 62 with the sear 40 prevents retention of thehammer 26 in a rearward cocked position, the hammer merely returning to the forward position, engaging the stop means 76 and preventing thereby from engaging thefiring pin 63. - If it is desired to convert the pistol to a different caliber, the required interchange components are removed from the frame assembly and new components are attached thereto. First an operator releases the barrel assembly. The
slide receiver 16 is then removed by sliding forwardly, or leftwardly as viewed in the drawings. The hammer andsafety assembly 2 is then removed from the frame by lifing upwardly. To facilitate operation with a different caliber of ammunition, a "new" hammer and safety assembly, slide receiver, and barrel assembly are attached, as above described, to theframe 4. The entire hammer and safety assembly is removable and insertable as a single unit.
