COOKING HANDLE FOR AERIAL GUNS.
Application led April 18, 1922. Serial No, 555,019.
To all 'whom it may concern.
Be it known that we, HERBERT O. RUS- SELL and LAWRENCE J. EYLER, citizens of the United States, residing respectively, at De troit and Dayton, in the counties of Wayne and Montgomery and States of Michigan and Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cooking Handles forv Aerial Guns, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to cooking handles for machine guns used on aircraft, the objeotin view being to provide a. cooking handle that is easily adjustable for the purpose of changing the gun from a right hand to a left hand cooking gun. In the case of the Browning gun, it is necessary to change the handle of the gun to use the same flexibly, because` of the factthat the gun should be controlled with the right hand leaving the lefthand free for the cooking operation. On the Browning gun the cooking handle is normally on the right hand side. Due to the fact that the handle for the manipulation of the Scarii' ring must be operated by the left hand, it is necessary that the gunner control his gun by maintaining a. hold with his right hand upon the spade grip of the gun at all times. This has made it impossible to cock the gun with the right hand.
With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement herein fully described.y illustrated and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1, is a fragmentary side elevation of the gun showing the improved cooking mechanism applied thereto.
Figure 2, is a cross section taken on a line A. B'. C. D. of Figure 1.
Fig. 3 is a detail view in side elevation of a portion of my device.
Referring to the drawings, (1) designates a link mounted upon the side of the gun and maintained in a horizontal position` or parallel to the longitudinal axis of the gun by means of a pin (2), which allows the bolt stud (3) to move back and forth in a reotilinear path with the bolt. (4) designates a link operating lever which is mounted upon the end of the rock shaft (5), the latter having its bearings in the rear stationary mounting trunnion of the gun. In assembling the mechanism, the shaft (5) is molinaL ed thru the bracket l(6). The outer face of the bracket (6) lcontains a notchv (7). A protrusion or projection 8 on the cooking handle is adapted to be fitted into thisl notch for the Idisassembling of the mechanism. This-action holds the bolt of the gunv in its extreme rearward position. In such position the removal of the bolt drive spring is rendered easy. A pin (9) on the bracket (6) forms a stop vand limits the forward movement of the link The operating handle (10) has upon the end thereof a ball handle (11) and has at the opposite end thereof a hardened plate (12) which carries a spring plunger The function of this plunger is maintaining the cooking handle in any desired location. This is accomplished by the plunger dropping into the plunger seats (14) as shown by Figure 2. The entire cooking handle assembly as described, is fulorumed upon the pin (15) extending transversely of the rook shaft and forming a positive connection between the handle and rock shaft (5).
The mechanism herein above described is vso designed that a complete dissassembly operation may be accomplished by removing a Cotter pin (16) which is used to prevent endwise movement of the rock yshaft when the mechanism is in its operative position.
Having thus described our invention, We claim:
1. In combination with a machine gunr1 a cooking handle assembly embodying a rook shaft. a bolt-operating slide having a runway for a projection on the bolt of the gun, an arm on said shaft engaging said slide to draw the same back for cooking the gun. and a cooking handle on said shaft located on the opposite side of the gun from said slide-operating arm.
2. In combination with a machine gun. a cooking handle assembly embodying a rockshaft. a bolt-operating slide having a runway for a projection on the bolt of thegun,
an arm on said shaft engaging said slide to draw thesame back for cooking the gun. a l cooking handle on said shaft. and means for `locking` saidhandle in .position to hold the an arm on said shaft engagin'gsaid .slide to draw the same back for oook-mg the gun, a
l cooking handle on'said shaft,l and means for limiting the movement of said handle to hold the parts in firing position.
4. In combination With a machine gun, a'
cooking handle assembly embodying a rock4 shaft, a bolt-operating slide having a run-'1 5. In' combination with amachine gun, a
cooking handle assembly embodying a rookshaft, a bolt-operating slide having a run- Way for a projection on the bolt of the gun,
1,52a95oy lan arm on said shaft engaging said slide to draw the same back forcocking the gun, a cooking,- handle pivoted on a transverse axis on said shaft, and means for holding Said handle at a ypoint in `the throw thereof.
6. In combination with a machine gun, a cooking ,handle assembly embodying a roel;- shaft, aboltfoperating slide having` a runfor a projection onthe bolt of the gun, an arm on said shaft engaging said slide to draw the sameback for ooekingthe gun, a cooking handle on shaft, and means permitting" the entire 'cooking handle Vassembly yto be detached lfrom the gun.
In testimony whereof We aflix our signatures. i
