LOCKS FOR PISTOLS, &c.
Patented Feb. 6 1877.
No. l87,l35.
IT SS'ES NPETERS. PHOTO LITHOGRA BENJAMIN HAVILAND AND GEORGE P. GUNN, OF ILION, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN LOCKS FOR PISTOLS, &0.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. l87,l35, dated February 6, 1877; application filed December 9, 1876.
` tion of the Construction and operation ot' the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of a central vertical section of our pistol, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the trigger.
This invention 'relates to improvements in pistols; and consists in certain improvements therein, as will be hereinafter more fully set ful'th.
A designates the stock of a pistol, and B the barrel, provided with front sight b and rear sight b'. C designates a hammer, made in one piece with, or rigidly attached to, a tumbler, D, having a cock-notch, d, said tumbler being pivoted within the hollow of stock A. E designates a trigger-guard, made of spring metal, secured at one end to the under side of stock A, and at the other end to a linkbar, F, whereby it is linked to tumbler D, near the line of attachment of hammer O, and at the front of said tumbler. Gr designates a trigger, protected by guard E, and pivoted in front of and below tunbler D, in the usual manner. The upper end of said trigger is provided with a curved dog or catch, g, which engages with notch d on tumbler D, so as to hold hammer G at full-cock when the latter is drawn upward. H designates a spiral replacing-spring, which sits within a cup or socket, h, of stock A, and bears against the rear side of the lower end of trigger G. When said trigger is pressed upon by the finger, in
the usual way, tumbler D is freed from dog g, and guard E, acting as a mainspring, operates to throw said hammer O forward, exploding the cartridge. StockAand barrel B are, pret'- erably, constructed in one piece, ot' metal, and perforated from the hollow ot' the stock outward on the under, side at A A to allow the play of spring-guard E and trigger G.
ln order to enable the Operating parts to be placed in the smallest possible space, the dog or catch g of trigger G is recessed in the middle part of its end at g', as shown in detail in Fig. 2, whereby the greater part of the operating mechanism lies within the hollow stock, and is protected from injury thereby.
In cooking, and while hammer 0 is cocked, link-bar F sets into said recess g', without interi'ering with the action of trigger G. recess may, however, he omitted, it' desired.
We are aware th at a cock and tumbler made in one piece, and connected bya link-bar with BENJ AMIN HAVILAND. GEORGE BEGK GUNN. Witnesses:
EDwIN A. HARRIS, BYRON H. OUTNATE.
