SIMMIE L. MOORE, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, ASSIGNOB F ONE-HALE TO EDWARD MONTGOMERY, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.
- nrsarrmmme Bayonne.
Application filed March 26, 1924. Serial 1T0. 702,087. I
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, SIMMIE L. MOORE, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Louis, in the county of St. Louis and State 6 of Missouri, have invented new and useful Improvements in Disappearing Bayonets, of which the following is a specification.
My present invention pertains to bayonets for use on rifle barrels and particularly the type of bayonet that is normally disposed in a sheath and is projected for use when needed.
The object of my said invention is to provide a bayonet construction of the type indicated that is simple and inexpensive, compact, and reliable and quick in action.
To the attainment of the foregoing, the invention consists in the improvement as hereinafter described and definitely claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification Figure l is a view illustrating the arrangement of my improvement relative to a rifle barrel, and with the bayonet'blade housed in its sheath.
Figure 2 is a similar view with the ba 0- net blade projected so as to rest in working position with its forward portion in advance of the mouth of the barrel. Figure 3 is a broken view of the bayonet and its appurtenances.
Figure 4 is a cross-section on line 44 of Figure 1.
- Figure 5 is an enlarged section on the line 55 of Figure 3.
Similar numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all of the views of the drawin s.
The rifle arrel 1 is of the ordinary well known construction, and in accordance with my invention a sheath 2 is arranged longitudinally of the barrel 1 and alon ide thereof and is appropriately fixed wit respect to the barrel so that the forward end of the sheath 2 rests adjacent to though slightly in rear of the mouth of the barrel. The said sheath 2 is provided in its side remote from the barrel 1 with a lon itudinal slot 3. The
said slot 3 is provide ad'acent to its for- 0 ward'end with two lateral and rearwardly divergent arms 4, and near its end the sa1d slot is provided with two arms 5 disposed substantially at right angles thereto.
In the rear end of'the sheath 2 is housed a coil spring 5 which abuts at its rear end against the rear closed end 6 of the sheath. T e bayonet which is slidably arranged in the sheath 2 is designated by 7 and its rear or heel end is opposed to the forward end of the spring 5 as shown, the function of the said spring 5 being to quickly and forcibly impel the bayonet or blade 7 forwardly when the said bayonet or blade 7 is released as hereinafter described.
In the illustrated embodiment the sheath 2 isshown as fixed by pins 8 to the barrel 1, but as before indicated it is within the purview of my invention to fix the sheath 2 alongside of and with respect to the barrel 1 1n any manner compatible wth the purpose of m invention.
Attache by a screw 9 or other appropriate means to the bayonet 7 is a lever 10 whrch is of brace type and is equipped with a spring 11 for the purpose of forcing the lever open, the lever being made up of members subject to the action of the spring 11, and being adapted when the bayonet 7 is restricted to cooperate with the arms 5 in strongly retaining the bayonet in retracted state and fully housed in the sheath 2, and the said lever being also adapted when the bayonet is released and impelled forwardly to working position to automatically work into the arms 4 of the slot 3 so as to strongly and safely maintain the bayonet in advanced position without liability of the bayonet betive to the barrel 1 and the sheath 2.
Manifestly the lever 10 constructed as described may be depended upon to hold the bayonet in retracted position against the action of the spring 5, and yet when the said lever 10 is displaced from the arms 5*, it will be noted that the bayonet will be promptly forced to working position whereupon the members of the lever 10 b coaction with the slot arms 4 will preclu e casual rearward movement of the bayonet. In this latter connection it will be appreciated that the rearward divergence of the slot arms4 will attend to preclude accidental displacement of the lever members from the arms 4, and yet when it is desired to sheath the bayonet in the housing tube or sheath 2, the lever members may be manually removed from the arms 4 following a slight forward movement of the bayonet. I would also have it understood that in the preferred embodiment of my invention the spring'5 is connected at 'mg adapted to casually move rearward rela-
