Abstract
535,325. Firearms. JOHNSON, M. M. Nov. 27, 1939, No. 30866. Convention date, Jan. 31. [Class 119] Relates to drum magazines for small arms of the kind in which the cartridges are fed round an annular path by a spring-actuated follower 37 into a delivery position 76 below the bolt chamber x the magazine being loaded, as by a clip 53, and without removal from the gun, through a passage tangential to the bolt chamber. According to the invention, a spring- actuated flap 60 is pressed downwardly when a clip or cartridge is inserted in guides 51, but rises to close the loading opening in the magazine, the portion 75 of the flap then forming a guide for the cartridges to the delivery position, Fig. 5. The follower 37, which is actuated by a torsion spring 31, has a cam surface 36 for actuating a detent lever 7 which locks the breech bolt in open position when the magazine is empty. Specification 486,907 is referred to.
