ROBERT EDWIN REABDON, OF OTTAWA., ONTARIO, CANADA.
ROD FOR TARGET :PRACTICE Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 22, 1918.
Application led March 8, 1917. Serial No. 153,477.
To all whom it may concern.'
Be it known that l, ROBERT EDWIN REAR- DoN, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and a resident of the city of Ottawa, in the Province of Ontario and Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rods for Target Practice, of which the following is a full description.
This invention relates to improvements in target `practice rods of the type .having a tube adapted to tit into a lire arm or the like, a spring retracted striking rod thereon adapted to be propelled to strike a suitable target.
The objects of the invention are to provide eective means for varying the length of the rod to enable it to be used either for magazine or single barrel practice.
Further objects of the invention are to generally simplify and improve the construction of the rod to enable the various parts to better perform the functions required of them.
In the drawings,
Figure l is a longitudinal sectional elevation of an embodiment of the invention.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional detail of the inner end.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional detail of the extensible end of the striking rod.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the extensible end of the striking rod.
Fig. 5 is a. section on the line 2-2 of F ig. 3.
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of thevhammer section of the rod.
Fig. 7 is a section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
In the drawings like characters of reference refer to like parts in the several ligures.
Referring to the drawings, A represents a single metal tube adapted to extend in the barrel of the rifle or other fire arm, the head 1() of the rod being adapted to abut the muzzle of the rifle and being held thereon by a suitable clip, not forming part of the present invention. The tube A contains a striking rod B formed with a forward striking section 11 and a rear hammer section 12. Y
The striking section is journaled at its forward end with a collar 13 in the tube A provided with a suitable striking head 14 adapted to mark a target. The striking part is retracted by means of a compression spring l5 extending` from the collar 13 to thel head 16 on the inner end of the rod.
The hammer section which is adapted to strike and propel the striking section, fits the inner end of the tube and comprises a sleeve 1S fitting the inner end of the tube, a rod 19 extending through a plug 20 in the end of the sleeve adapted to be projected forwardly to strike the head 16, rearward movement being limited by a pin 2l.
The rod 19 is connected at its outer end to a sleeve or socket 22 slidably mounted within the sleeve 18. The rod 19 is adapted to be spring retracted by means of a compression spring 23 extending from the plug 20 to the head of the sleeve 22.
25 represents the extensible endpiece for the hammer portion of the'striking rod having its inner end adapted to fit within the sleeve 22 and being formed on its periphery with one or more long grooves 26, and vone or more short grooves 27, each pair of long and short grooves connected by a transverse groove 28.
One or more tongues 34 on the sleeve 22 is adapted to take into one of the grooves and at the end of the groove is adapted to be retained in position by means of a spring tongue 30 formed in the sleeve 22 and adapted to take into recesses 31 or 32 formed adjacent to the ends of the grooves 26 and 27.
lt will be seen that when the tongue 34 is at the end of the groove 27, a greater length of the end piece25 will project, outwardly, than when the tongue 34 is at the end of the groove 26, and this will effect a variation in the length of the striking rod.
It may be stated that the formation of the tube A in a single piece adapted to contain the two parts of the striking part forms a considerable advantage in practice, as it maintains a more perfect alinement and avoids the necessity of any form of joint between the parts on the rod.
As many changes could be made in the above description and many apparently widely different embodiments of my invention within the scope of the claims constructed without departing from the spirit or scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the accompanying specification and drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limited sense.
What I claim as my invention is:
l. In. a target practice rod, a tube, a
2. In a target practice rod, a tube, aY spring retractable rocl therein, having an extensible encl piece. l
8. Ina target practice rod, a tube, a spring, retractable rod therein, having an extensible end piece, saicl enol piece being formeel with parallel short and long grooves connected by a transverse groove, a tongue on the roel having aV projection adapted to take into one 0i" the grooves.
4. In a target practice rod, a tube, Va spring retractable rool therein, having an extensible end piece, said end piece being formed With parallel short and long vgrooves opies of this patent may be obtained for. five cents eaeh, by addressing the WashingtomD. C.
connected byvatransverse groove, a tongue on the rofl having a projection adapted to take into one of the grooves, and means i for retaining the rod in this position.
5. In a target practice rod, a tube, a
spring retractable roel therein, having an A ing a'spring tongue adaptedY to take into the recess.
In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand 1n the presence of a Witness.
