Definitions

  • My invention relates to safet devices for fire arms, more particularly ri es and other small arms and machine guns.
  • My invention has for its object a manipulative member for the safety device of such arms which has a shape and a location on the arm that affords an easy manufacture, secure mounting on the arm, good adaption to the given outer shape thereof, and a convenient manipulation. Finally, any danger of mistaking it for any other member is impossible.
  • my new safety manipulative member is formed by a frame or ring surroundin the butt or breech end of the barrel, which rame or ring follows the outer shape of the part it is mounted on and can be shifted or turned.
  • the frame or ring is knurled on its outer surface, in order to secure good manipulation by the firers hand and may control in a known manner special locking members that lock the trigger or striking mechanism or breech mechanism, or may itself have integral with it these locking members in the form of projections, or may form these members by parts of its annular main body. I obtain in this way a simple safety device which is very well suited to realize simultaneously several difierent locking effects, which device for instance, when in safe position, locks at the same time the cocked or uncooked breech mechanism and the trigger mechanism.
  • Figure 1 shows the arm in the hands of the firer ready for fire
  • Figures 2 to 4 show in perspective view and on enlarged scale the essential parts of the safety device and firing and breech mecha nism of the arm, and more particularly Figure 2 shows these parts in unlocked condition
  • Figure 3 in locked condition with the breech mechanism closed, and Figure 4 shows them in locked position and with open and cooked breech mechanism.
  • the fire arm illustrated, Figure 1 is a light machinevgun having a butt adapted to reston the shoulder of the firer, and a forkshaped support for the forward end of the barrel.
  • the case or breech end a is of cylindrical outer shape and has mounted on it at bottom a handle I) that carries the trigger and at top the notch c of the sight. On its rear end the case a subsides without an olfset into the butt d which can be detached to disassemble the gun.
  • the breech mechanism possesses a longitudinally movable breech piece e, Figure 4, which is held in a rear cocked position by a pawl f which can be released by the trigger, whereupon the breech piece rushes forward, pushes a cartridge into the barrel and strikes it immediately thereafter.
  • a ring 9 is mounted which forms the manipulative member of the safety device.
  • This ring g is knurled on its outer surface and can be turned about the longitudinal axis of the gun barrel. It lies in the straight path of a lateral lug e of the breech piece and in the path of pivotal motion of a two-armed lever h k which by means of a rod 2' abutting on .its arm 71. establishes the connection of the trigger (not shown) with the pawl f that locks the breech piece e in the rear, cocked position.
  • a slot 9 provided in the ring 9 allows the projection e of the breech piece e to freely pass therethrough, so that the breech piece can make the longitudinal motion required to cock the striker and to load the gun.
  • a recess 9 Figure 2 of the latter is opposite the arm h of the lever 71. 72. which controls pawl f, so that arm k can swing back when pressed rearwardly by the trigger and rod 2', whereby pawl f lowers and releases the breech piece e from its rearward cocked position.
  • ring 9 In the two ready positions that is in firing position and safety position, ring 9 is secured against any turning motion by a springinfluenced locking bolt which engages respective notches g provided on the inner surface of ring g.
  • 'An arrow mark 9 on the outer surface of ring 9 indicates the condition of the gun by registering with one of two counter marks, 1, 1 provided on the case a of the barrel (F: Fire and S: Safe), that is whether the gun is being locked or unlocked.
  • these marks 1, 1 are situated between the notch c of the sight and the eye of the firer who is taking aim, so that he can conveniently satisfy himself at a glance even still during sighting, whether or not the gun is ready for fire.
  • my new safety device allows an easy throwing-over of the device while the firer is taking aim. For instance the firer can seize with the fingers of his left hand, which during firing already rest on the butt d between notch 0 and his eye, the ring 9 and its locking bolt is and shift them into the desired position, without withdrawing his right hand from the trigger or his head from the butt d.
  • the marks 1, 1 and 9 may be designed either as luminous marks or be formed by notches or projecting ribs so that they can be perceived'-' and distinguished by feeling.
  • a safety device for fire arms having a longitudinally moving breech piece, comprising a manipulative member mounted for independent motion on, and adapted to the as to give free the way 011 said breech including outer shape of, a stationar part of the arm and surrounding the pat of said breech piece, said manipulative member in one turn position projecting into the path of said reech piece and having a recess adapted to lie in another turn position in this ath so as to give free the way for said breec piece.
  • a safety device for fire arms having a longitudinally moving breech piece, comprising a manipulative member mounted for independent motion on, and adapted to the outer shape of, a stationary part of the arm and surrounding the path of said breech piece, said manipulative member in one turn position projecting into the path of said breech piece and having a recess adapted to he in another turn position in this path so iece and means formed on said manip ativd member for locking in said first-named position the trigger mechanism of the arm and for releasing it in the last-named position.
  • a safety device for firearms comprising a'member adapted to be rotatably mounted on the outside of the butt, and means actuated by the turning movement of said member for locking the breech piece against cocking movement.
  • a safety device for firearms comprisin a. member adapted to be rotatably mounted on the outside of the butt, and means actuated by the turning movement of said member for locking the breech piece in cooking position.
  • a safety device as set forth in claim 3 means actuated by the turning movement of said member for locking the trigger mechanism.
  • safety device as set forth in claim 4 including means actuated by the turning movement of said member for locking the trigger mechanism.
