Definitions

  • JAMES FALLER and Our invention relates to firearms and more particularly to a firearm adapted to be gripped withthe palm of the hand and carried substantially concealed by the hand with a l view to defend ones self against a highwayman whereby if the person ⁇ carrying the gun is ordered to throw up his hands he will in the act of raisin the hands assume a position to discharge t e firearm at the highwayman.
  • the general object of our invention is to provide a gun of the indicated character thatvmay be readily grasped by the hand with the barel protruding through the ingers and with the trigger disposed for convenient and repeated operation by the thumb of the hand holding the gun.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a gun improved in various particulars especially with respect to the means for actuating the ring pin and controlling a revolving magazine so that its radial cartridge chambers will successively be alined with the gun barrel and maintained in alined position during the firing.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a gun embodying our invention heldin position ready for firing;
  • Figure 2 is a section in the plane of the gun
  • Figure 3 is a horizontal section on the line 3 3, Figure 2;
  • Fi re 4 is a transverse vertical section on the hne 4-4, Figure2;
  • v Figure 5 is a schematic view of the magazine and tiring means.
  • a casin 10 is provided rounded at its rear end an comparatively. within to be held conveniently in the hand at the palm and substantially concealed. @ne side 11 of the case is hinged or otherwise movably secured.
  • Said cover is shown as held'by a-sliding latch 12 having an operatin knob 112.
  • a short xed barrel 13 integra with the case projects forwardly from the straight front end of said case.
  • a revoluble magazine 14 is provided within he case and formed with radial cartridge chambers 15 in which cartridges are manually placed in the individual chambers.
  • the magazine 14 is formed with a cylindrical bore and is turnably mounted on a fixed cylinder 16 which is' secured in position by soldering, brazing, or bolting, or other suitable means, there being indicated a rabbetted head 17 on a bolt 18 secured to said ring projecting through the case-and having a nut 19.
  • a reciprocating trigger 20 is slidi'ably mounted in the case transversely in a 4plane adjacent to the inner end of the barrel 13 and projects beyond the exterior of the case ⁇ for convenient opera-tion by the thumb as indicated in Figure 1 when the gun is grasped in the hand.
  • On lthe trigger-20 is .axed plate sprin 21 at the interlor of the casing, the free en of the spring being deflected laterally to engage that cart-ridge chamber 15 alining with the barrel 13 so that'the magazine 14 will be turned through an arc to bring the next rearward cartridge chamber in line with the barrel.
  • a swingable arm 22 pivoted on a stud 24 and in the casin acted upon by an arm of a spring 23 colled about said stud, the other arm bearing against the interior surface of the casing at a side of the latter.
  • One cartridge chamber 15in advance of that engaged by the spring 21 is adapted to engage a flange 25 on a lever 26 pressed by a :springv 28 coiled about the fulcrum pin 27 of said lever.
  • the lever 26 will be swun and its spring 28 stressed.
  • the ring pin 29 is rigid on the lever 26 so lthat upon the rebound of the lever under the action of spring 28 the gun will be dispressure.
  • the latter wil rebound into the path of the cartridge chamber and prevent the lever 26 or its flange 25 from giving retrograde movement to the mag-- azme.
  • a gun of the class described including a casing having a Cartridge discharge, a. revoluble magazine Within said casing and provided with radial chambers, a reciprocating trigger operable from the exterior of the casing and extending into the latter, means to cause step by step turning of the magazine by the movement of the trigger, and a tiring device engageable by the magazine with the turning thereof to tire the un.
  • a gun of the class described inc uding a casing, having a discharge for the cartridge, a trigger operable from the exiterior of the casing and extending to the interior thereof, a revoluble magazine having radial cartridge chambers, a springpressed lever mounted to swing in a plane adjacent the magazine, a member on Said lever adapted to be engaged by a cartridge chamber of the magazine in the turning of the latter by the trigger, a firing pin on said lever, and means to prevent retro rade movement of the magazine upon a ring movement of said lever.
  • a gun of the class described including a casing having a discharge for the cartridge, a trigger operable from the exterior of the casing and extending to the interior thereof, a revoluble magazine having radial cartridge chambers, a springpressed lever mounted to swing in a plane adjacent the ma azine, a member on said lever adapted to e engaged by a cartridge chamber of the magazine in the turning of the latter by the trigger, a firing pin on said lever, means to prevent retrograde movement of the magazine upon a firing movemeut of said lever, and adapted to be engaged by the magazine when the latter is turned upon a turning movement of the latter by the trigger, a firing pin on said lever, and a spring stop adapted to be engaged by a cartridge chamber of the magazine in the movement of the latter ⁇ by the trigger, said spring yieldin to said movement of the magazine and a apted to spring into the path of said cartridge chamber after the latter has passed the spring.
