BY MW A 770/? E Y5 WITNESSES: g a? NITED SATS 1 OFFIC CHARLES B. DYGERT, OF ILION, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO REMINGTON ARMS AND AMMUNITION COMPANY, OF ILION, NEW YORK, A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK.
SIGHT FOR FIREARMS.
Application filed June 19, 1914.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES B. DYGERT, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Ilion, in the county of Herkimer and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Sight for Firearms, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has for its object the production of a gun sight which is particularly simple in construction and easily adjustable to different elevations, and which can be adjusted to regulate the range of the projectile while the gun is held in firing position against the shoulder; and it consists in the novel features of construction hereinafter set forth and claimed.
In describing this invention, reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in which like characters designate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a plan View of this gun sight, the underlying portion of the gun barrel being also shown.
Fig. 2 is an elevation looking to the left in Fig. 1, the position of the gun barrel being indicated by a circle.
Fig. 3 is a side elevation of parts seen in Fig. 1.
Figs. 4 and 5 are, respectively, plan and edge views of the detached spring of the sight.
Figs. 6 and 7 are elevations of the base of the sight taken at a right angle to each other.
Figs. 8 and 9 are detail views of the finger piece showing the same in plan and in end elevation.
Figs. 10 and 11 are detail views of the stepped projection on the finger piece.
This gun sight comprises, generally, a spring in the form of a leaf, means for securing the leaf to the barrel of the gun, and means for elevating the free end of the leaf including a finger piece frictionally engaging the gun barrel and held in position by the leaf, and means as a projection fixed to the finger piece and coacting with the spring leaf.
l designates the spring leaf, and 2 a base on which one end of the spring 1 is seated, the spring leaf being secured to the base by means of a screw 3. The base 2 dove-tails into a transverse groove in the gun barrel and is formed with a groove in its upper face, Fig. 7, and one end of the spring 1 fits the groove. The spring 1 is formed at its Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 846,050.
free end with an upturned lug 4 having a sight opening as a notch 6 therein.
7 is the finger piece which is shaped to frictionally engage the barrel, said finger piece being usually in the form of an arc 6O shape resilient clip designed to be arranged astride the barrel and tensioned to grip the barrel. The finger piece 7 is preferably provided with raised bearing strips or heads 8 on the inner sides of its lower edge which grip the barrel and hold the remainder of the inner face of the clip off the barrel so that the finish of the barrel will not be marred by irregular worn patches. In other words, the bearing strips concentrate the rubbingof the finger piece along two definite lines which do not seriously disfigure the barrel.
9 is the projection carried by the finger piece, the projection being in the form of a strip arranged to extend lengthwise of the un barrel and having a series of steps 10 formed with inclined surfaces, the strip extending through a lengthwise slot 11 in the spring 1 and the steps thereof engaging the under face of the spring 1 at the rear end of the slot 11. The outer face of the finger piece is formed roughened and when the finger piece is moved forwardly or rearwardly on the gun barrel, steps 10 of dif- 35 ferent height are brought into engagement with the spring 1 and raise the same to different elevations during the rearward movement and permit the sight to be lowered by the resiliency of the spring during the forward movement. The spring 1 holds the finger piece engaged with the barrel, and the slot 11 and strip 9 hold the finger piece from lateral displacement, that is, alined with the barrel. The strip 9 is secured to the finger piece by means of tongues 12, Fig. 10, on the strip which fit into slots 13, Fig. 8, in the finger piece and which are riveted or otherwise secured therein.
hat I claim is A gun sight comprising a spring leaf having means for securing the same to the gun at one end, and means for elevating the free end of the leaf including a wedge piece frictionally engaging the gun barrel, and 105 arranged under the leaf in position to be held on the gun barrel by the leaf, said piece including a bow-shaped resilient clip extending on opposite sides of the leaf and astride the gun barrel, the clip having downwardly projecting strips or runners on its inner side testing witnesses, at Ilion, in the county of at the outer ends thereof for frictionally IIerkimer, in the State of New York, this 10 engaging the barrel of the gun and for spac- 8th day of June, 1914.
in the remainin under surface of the clip 5 fr m the barrel, s ubstantially as and for the CHARLES DYGERT' purpose set forth. Witnesses:
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto JOHN E. BRENNAN, signed my name in the presence of two at- JOHN O. SIMPSON.
