PISTOL STOGK.

FREDERICK J. KALDENBERG, OF TARRYTOWN', NEW YORK.

PISTOL-STOCK.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Oct, 10, 1911,

. Application filed August 17, 1911. Serial No. 644,487.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK J. KALDEN- BERG, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Tarrytown, county of Westchester, and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Pistol-Stocks, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to auxiliary or target handles for pistols adapted to be secured to the handle frame of a pistol after the ordinary side plates have been removed therefrom; the purpose being to enlarge the handles and aflord a firmer and better grip of pistols than as ordinarily made; and it has for its object to provide for the commercial use in its construction of expensive material, as pearl, ivory and other choice materials. To this end the new side plates, which are considerably larger but need not be any thicker, than the ordinary side plates, extend beyond the edges of the frame of the pistol handle, and the space between the parts of the new side plates and the outer edges of the pistol handle frame is filled by an auxiliary frame acting as a web between the edges of the new side plates. This auxiliary frame or web may be made of any suitable metal or composition or material adapted to be molded into shape.

Suitable means, as dowel pins and a screw, are provided for holding the parts together and securely on the pistol handle frame; all of which will be fully described by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of a portion of a pistol showing the improved auxiliary or target handle applied thereto, with its front side plate removed. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the removed side plate. Fig. 3 is a transverse section of the handle taken on the

line

3, 3, Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 represents the auxiliary frame or web of the target handle detached.

It will be understood that in the application of this new handle no changes are made in the handles of pistols beyond removing the side plates therefrom.

A frame a is made to fit the outer edges of the frame I) of the pistol handle, preferably the rear and lower edges thereof, and the form given the outer edges of this auxiliary frame a is determined by the desired increase in the size of the pistol handle. The side plates 0 and d have the contour of the outer edges of the auxiliary frame a and the portion of the pistol frame I) not inclosed by the frame a. To hold the side plates 0 and d laterally in place a dowel pin 6 projects from the sides of the pistol handle 6 into holes in the side plates, one of which is shown at f Fig. 2; and dowel pins 9 and h extend from the auxiliary frame a into holes 2' and j respectively in the side plates 0 and (Z to hold said plates in position. A screw is, with its head seated in one of the sideplates, or in a socket set therein, is screwed into the other side plate, or into a socket set therein, and clamps the side plates 0 and d firmly against the sides of the auxiliary frame a and the pistol handle 5, and securely holds all the parts together.

It will be observed that the use of the auxiliary frame a, as a web connection between the parts of the side plates 0 and d which extend beyond the edges of the pistol handle frame, and which may be made of cheap material, permits of a high priced material being used for the comparatively thin side plates which would be commercially prohibitive if used to make the whole of the target handle.

I claim' 1. In a pistol stock, the combination with the frame of a pistol handle of an auxiliary frame shaped to fit the outside edges of the pistol handle, side plates formed to cover the sides of the pistol handle frame and the auxiliary frame, and means for holding the side plates and auxiliary frame in position.

2. In a pistol stock, the combination with the frame of a pistol handle of an auxiliary frame shaped to fit the rear and lower out side edges of the pistol handle, side plates formed to cover the sides of the pistol handle frame and the auxiliary frame, means for holding the side plates and auxiliary frame in position, and guide pins extending from the frame into the side plates.

3. An auxiliary or target handle for pistols comprising a frame formed to fit against the outsideedges of a pistol handle frame and of equal thickness therewith, side plates formed to cover the sides of the auxiliary frame, and means for holding the parts together.

4. An auxiliary or target handle for pistols, two side plates, a frame acting as a Web between the rear and lower edges of the plates and having its inner edges formed to fit the outer edges of the frame of a pistol handle, and means for holding the parts together.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name this 28th day of July, 1911.

FREDERICK J. KALDEN-BERG.
