THOMAS C. JOHNSON, OF NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR T0 WINCHESTER REPEAT'ING ARMS (30., OF NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT, A CORPORATION.
BAYONET-BAND LOOK FOR MILITARY RIFLES.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Dec, 15, 1914.
Application filed October 6, 1914. Serial No. 865,271.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, THOMAS C. JOHNSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bayonet- Band Looks for Military Rifles; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the characters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this application, and represent, in
Figure l a broken view in right-hand side elevation of the muzzle end of a military rifle provided with a bayonet-band lock constructed in accordance with my invention, the rifle being broken away just to the rear of the bayonet-band. Fig. 2 a corresponding view with the bayonet-band, bayonet-band lock, and forearm in vertical longitudinal section. Fig. 3 a similar view with the bayonet-band and bayonet-band lock removed to show the recess formed in the tenon at the forward end of the forearm for the reception of the lock. Fig. 4 a view of the rifle in transverse section on the line a?) of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 a detached perspeotive view of the bayonet-band lock. Fig. 6 a view corresponding to Fig. 4:, but showing a modified form of the bayonetband lock. Fig. 7 a detached perspective view showing the bayonet-band lock of Fig. 6.
My invention relates to an improvement in military rifles, the object being to provide simple and reliable means for the rigld attachment of the bayonet-band to the forearm so that pulls and thrusts upon the bayonet will be resisted without displacing the band or shattering the forearm.
IVith these ends in view, my invention consists in certain details of construction as will be hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.
In carrying out my invention as shown in Figs. 1 to 5 inclusive, I form a shallow circumferential recess 2, in the tenon 3, formed at the forward end of the wooden forearm 4 of the rifle, the said recess 2 being at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the forearm. This recess 2 receives a U-shaped or clip-like bayonet-band lock 5 adapted in width, thickness and length to snugly fit said lock 5 is formed at opposite points with holes 7 and 8 for. the reception of the coupling screw 9 employed to secure the bayonet-band 6 in place upon the tenon 3 of the forearm. As shown the said band; 6 is formed upon its right hand side with a threaded boss 10 for the reception of threads 11 formed close to the head end of the screw, these threads taking also into threads formed within the hole 7 of the lock 5. The left hand side of the band 6 is formed with a boss 12 for the reception of the unthreaded left hand end of the screw which may, if preferred, be replaced by a friction-tight pin common in gun construction. The bayonet-band is provided at its forward end, as shown, with a depending lug 18 to which the bayonet (not shown) is attached in the usual manner. The band 6 is adapted at its upper end to receive the rifle-barrel 14 and formed at its rear end with a recess 15 for the reception of the forward end of the barrel-cover 16 which it holds in place. At'its lower rear end the band 6 is formed with two integral depending lugs 17 located on opposite sides of a longitudinal slit 18, the said lugs receiving a clamping-screw 19, but the detailed construction of the band 6 may, as already stated, be varied as desired without departing from my invention. It will be readily understood that pulls or thrusts upon the bayonet in the direction of its length will be transmitted through the band 6 and screw 9 to the lock 5, which on account of being embedded in the tenon 3 of the forearm will resist these strains and prevent the displacement of the band and the bending of the screw or the working of the screw loose in the hole 20 formed for it in the tenon 3 .of the wooden forearm 4:.
In the modified construction shown by Figs. 6 and 7, the bayonet-band lock consists of two corresponding longitudinally bowed shoes 21 and 22, the former being provided with a threaded screw hole 23 and the latter with a hole 24. These shoes have their upper ends hooked inward as at 25 whereby they are suspended, as it were, in
the recess 26 of the tenon 27 and held in place during the application of theband 28 Which is secured in place by a coupling screw 29 which passes through the band,
through the shoes 21 and 22 and through a transverse hole 30 in the tenon 27.
I claim 1. In a military arm, the combination transversely" through the said forearm for coupling the same together, whereby thrusts or pulls upon the band are directly transmittedthereby to the lock and thence to the side Walls of the recess in'the forearm.
Copies}! thh'patent may be obtained for 2. In a military arm, the combination with a forearm provided at its forward'endwith ,a transversely arranged circumferential recess, of a bayonet-band encircling the forward end-of the'forearm, a U-shaped I bayonet-band lock inserted into the said rece'ss and-covered by the said band, andj'ai 1 screw stud passing through the band and lock for coupling thesame together,'whereby 'endWise thrusts upon the bandare taken t by the edges ofthe lock. 1 a
In testimony whereof, I- have, signed this specification in the presence of tWo 'sub-" scribing Witnesses.
