A. FQRIN PEEP SIGHT FOR SHOTGUNS Filed Feb. 9, 1922 Patented .luiy 15, 1924.
err a t e PEEP SIG-HT FDR SHOTGUNS.
Application filed February 9, 1922. Serial No. 535,305.
To all whom it may concern.
Be it known that, I, ALEXANDER FORIN, a resident of the city of Edmonton, in the Province of Alberta, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Peep Sights for Shotguns, of which the fol lowing is the specification.
My invention relates to improvements in peep sights for shot guns and the object of the invention is to devise such a sight which can be readily and quickly attached to the gun. A further object is to construct a peep sight which will be adapted to be applicable to single barrel or double barrel guns.
My invention consists of a peep sight constructed and arranged all as hereinafter more particularly described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which:
Fig. 1 represcnts a side view of a double barrel shot gun showing my sight applied thereto.
Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view of the barrels of the gun showing my device applied thereto.
Fig. 3 is a detail of the sight,
Fig. 4 is a cross sectional view of the barrel of a shot gun showing my device applied thereto and Fig. 5 is a detail of the particular construction oi' sight applicable to single barrel guns.
Like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different views.
1 is the gun. 2 are the barrels thereof. 3 is the hand grip. My peep sight is preterably constructed with an open sight portion of substantially inverted U-shape and with opposedly bowed port ions 5 preferably forn'led integrally with the portion -l. (3 is a spring suitably secured to the extren'iity of one of the portions 5 and provided with the looped free end '7 adapted to hook over the l'iook-shaped extremity 8 or" the other bowed portion 5 when the sight is applied to the gun.
From the above description and on reference to the drawings it will be seen that the only difi'erence between the different types of sights for double and single barrelled guns is the variation of the bow members 5 to conform with the shapes of the single barrel or the double barre] as the case may be, it being understood that the sight is applied to the gun as illustrated in Figure 1 and that the bowed portions 5 conform in shape with the part of the barrels they engage.
The spring 6 is then extended until it is possible to hook the end 7 over the hook 8 when the sight will be held in place on the gun.
In order to remove the same it is merely necessary to unhook the spring.
From the above description it will be seen that I have devised a simple and etlective peep sight for shot guns that can be removed therefrom and is designed to be used in corn junction with the ordinary foresight 9.
What I claim as my invention is:
l. A peep sight for shot guns comprising a wire bent into inverted U-shape and adapted to straddle the barrel of the gun, the central portion of said wire being bent to form a subsidiary U-shaped portion constituting the peep sight, and resilient means attached to the end of one of the legs of the U-shaped wire and detachably engageable with the end of the other for holding the same in position on the barrel.
2. A. peep sight for shot guns comprising a wire bent. into inverted U-shape and adapted to straddle the barrel of the gun, the central portion of said wire being bent to form a subsidiary Ll-shaped portion constituting the peep sight, the extremity of one of the legs of the wire formed into an eye and the exlren'iity of the other leg formed into a hook, a spiral spring attached at one end to the eye and at the other end detachablv secured. to the hook.
ALEXANDER FORIN,
