Definitions

  • This invention has for its object a four barreled pistol having a single striker which is brought by rotation to register in succession with each of the barrels.
  • the axes of 5 the four barrels pass through the four vertices of a quadrangle, the intersection points of the diagonals of said quadrangle being also the center of rotation of the striker.
  • striker is eccentrically mounted.
  • the hammer which is constituted by a small cylinder revolubly mounted on its axis on the end of an oscillating lever actuated by the trigger.
  • the small cylinder carrying the striker performs the fourth part vof a revolution on its axis.
  • the arrangement producing the rotation of the small cylinder and striker is constituted by a ratchet and pawl mechanism, the four teeth of which are arranged on the cylinder end opposed to the end carrying the striker, while the pawl follows the lever during its oscillation and by its oscillation on another pin causes the cylinder to advance by one tooth.
  • the cooking releasing and percussion mechanism is carried by a frame forming also the arm stock, to whichis secured the barrel block revolving on an eccentric pin, namely outside the quadrangle enclosing the barrel bores, so thatV introduction of the cartridges and extraction of the fired cartridge cases will be possible.
  • the barrel block is maintained in place by suitable groove and tongue joints forming a shoulder and by a closure device lthe opening of which brings the striker o ut of operation.
  • the loading 1s effected by inserting the cartridges individually (except when a simultaneous loading device, easy to be constructed but of little use for the purpose of this invention, is used), while vthe four red cartridge cases are extractedsimultaneously by means of a star-shaped extractor having a pin passing longitudinally through,r the axis of the barrel block from which it protrudes in such a way as to be pressed directly

  • the arm Jframe is in the form of a stock and consists of a case closed at itsêtr end by a wall 1 and at its front end by the trigger guard.
  • the upper-wall of said case comprises a higher rear portion 3 carrying a pin 2O on which the barrel block 18 ,oscillates and a lower cradle-shaped front portion 4 receiving the barrel block and provided with grooves in which engage ribls of said block and anintermediate vertical portion 5'pr0- 80 vided with four holes 5 through which the striker passes during operation.
  • the lower partv of lsaid case comprises a portion A6, a guard 2 and an intermediate ported the pin onA which the lever 8 carrying the hammer voscillates.

  • the lever Q carries at'its end (Fig. 4) a spring vpawl 15, which-oscillating fromv'thel position shown in Fig.
  • the levers 8 and 9 are connected kinetically by means of a slot 8 and pin 16 provided in one of said levers and a slot 9 provided in the other lever and in Which passes the said pin.
  • the lever 8 is provided at its lower end With a helical spring 17 holding it from back oscillation and forcing it forward for the percussion.
  • the barrel block 18 has four bores 19, the axes of Which (Fig. l) pass through the vertices of a quadrangle, the Wall being provided with funnel shaped holes 5 registering With said barrel bores and through which the striker 15 successively passes's at each full oscillation of the lever 8.
  • the barrel block 18 is held in ContactV with the stock by means of a pin 20 secured to the Wall 3 by a plug, the barrel block revolving on said pin.
  • the pressure is transmitted to the cradle 4 of the stock through the grooves 4 and 4A, in Which engage the ribls 18 and 18.
  • the normal position of the block 18 in the cradle 4 is ensured by a latch, as it Will be hereafter described.
  • the block 18 y is rotated through one half revolution, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, for the purpose of effecting the loading of the barrel and thel extraction of the fired cartridge cases.
  • This operation may be effected by means of a star-shaped extractor 21 operated by meanls of a rod 22 mounted in a longitudinal opening of the barrel block and slightly protruding from the front end of said block.
  • a star-shaped extractor 21 operated by meanls of a rod 22 mounted in a longitudinal opening of the barrel block and slightly protruding from the front end of said block.
  • Said cocking and firing are effected by pressing on the trigger 24 pivoted on the cradle '4.
  • Said trigger isY substantially constituted by a plate having a deep groove, in Which are pivotally mounted the levers 25 and 26, this latter acting as a sear.
  • the tWo springs 25 and 26 tend, the former to return the triggerr into its rest position forcing the lever 25 against the cradle l 4 the second to cause the lever 26 to slide against the lever 8 causing'it to oscillate until it enters the slot 8', at which time the lever 8 is relealsed and causes the striker to hit one of the four cartridges.
