PATENT OFFICE.
HERBERT O. RUSSELL, LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, AND CHARLES L. PAULUS, OF DAYTON, OHIO.
BOWDEN TRIGGER CONTROL FOR MACHINE GUNS.
Application filed June 9,
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, HERBERT O. RUSSELL and CHARLES LEIGH PAULUS, citizens of the United States, residing, respectively, at Los Angcles and Dayton, in the counties of Los Angeles and Montgomery, and States of (alifornia and Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bowden Trigger Controls for Machine Guns, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a trigger control for machine guns, the object in view being to provide simple means for operating a Browning machine gun from a distance by means of a flexible Bowden wire control.
A further object in view is to provide a trigger operating device which is capable of being quickly mounted upon a part of the- Browning machine gun so that it will readily )perate the trigger thereof while at the same time forming a protection for said trigger.
lVith the above and other objects in view he invention consists in the novel construciion, combination and arrangement herein fully described, illustrated and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a fragmentary side elevation if the rear portion of a machine gun showng the trigger operating means of this inention applied thereto.
Figure 2 is a rear elevation of the same.
Referring to the drawings:
The improved trigger operating mechaiism embodies a mounting bracket 1 having circular clamping portion2 with projectng ends 3 through which are inserted one r more fasteners 4 to securely clamp the a'acket upon the buffer housing 5 projecting roIn the rear end of the machine gun 6.
The lower portion of the mouting bracket formed into a housing 7 adapted to reeive and protect a portion of the trigger 8 f the machine gun as shown in Figure 1. Iounted within the housing 7 upon a pivot is a trigger operating arm 10 which is prefrably composed of two side pieces or memers in spaced relation to each other and Jnnected at the free end of the arm by a in 11 carrying anti-friction roller 12 which perates against the inner curved or conive side of the trigger as shown in Fig- 1922. Serial No. 567,073.
ure 1. The side plates of the housing 7 are formed w1th slots 13 to permit the necessary movement of the roller 11.
Attached to the trigger operating arm 10 by a suitable means 14 is a flexible wire or cable 15 which may lead to a point any necessary distance from the gun 6. ,The
wire or cable 15 passes through a tubular.
a portion of the machine gun trigger, a
tr gger-operating arm pivotally mounted in to the normal position 1 65 clamped to a housing carried by said bracket and formed to receive said housing with its free end engaging.
said trigger, and an operating cable attached to said arm.
2. In combination with a machine gun, a mounting bracket adapted to be clamped to" the buffer housing of the gun, ahousing carried by said bracket and formed to receive a portion of the machine trigger-operatin in said housing with its free end engaging said trigger, and an operating cable attached to said arm, said cable including a tubular casing attached to said housing.

3. In combination with a machine gun, a
mounting bracket adapted to be clamped to the buffer housing of the gun, a housing carried by said bracket and formed to receive a portion of the machine gun I spring-retracted trigger-operating arm pivotally mounted in said housing with its free end engaging said trigger, and an operating cable attached to said arm.
In testimony whereof we affix our signatures.
