Definitions

  • the known arrangements of this kind have the disadvantage that the thickness of the cartridge cap which generally does not exceed a millimetre or a millimetre and a half is not sufficient to cause displacement of the sight of suflicient amplitude in order that there may be a substantial difference between the position which it occupies when there is a cartridge in the chamber and the position which it occupies when there is no cartridge in the chamber.
  • This disadvantage is due principally to the fact that the displacements of the sight take place in a direction substantially parallel to the direction of the axis of the barrel.
  • this disadvantage is avoided by arranging the I movable sight so that its displacements take place in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axis of the barrel. This result is obtained by providing the movable sight on one'arm of a bell-crank lever, the other SIGHT FOR FIREARMS.
  • Figure 1 is a partial section showing the pesition of the Parts when there is no car" it.
  • the spring 10 On which the spring 10, hearing at its other end upon the breech, acts so as to lower the notch ow the sight into the interior of the breech.
  • the spring 10 bears upon the breech 1 at 17. on the two edges of the slot 18 in which the sight is housed.
  • the arm 6 of the sight 3 engages with the end 11 of a rod 12 sliding in a suitable hous ing in the breech drilled parallel to the firing-pin 2.
