HORAOE A. SMITH, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
TOY PISTOL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 232,768, dated September 28, 1880.
Application filed January 27, 1880.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HORACE A. SMITH, of the city of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Toy Pistols, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawlugs.
The object of my invention is to simplify and cheapen the mode of constructing toy pistols so as to do away with hand-labor. By this construction the expense of manufacturing is reduced to the minimum/and a good toy produced.
I make use of a handle and imitation barrel, cast in one piece, and a hammer and trigger having a central bearing, and a spring-rest a short distance below the central bearing, and also a spring running lengthwise of the handle. Against this spring the hammer and trigger act in such a manner that the hammer is held when pulled back, or thrown violently forward when the trigger is pulled, so as to explode a cap or fulminate waferin a rest or recess or on a nipple on the back end of the barrel.
The pistol is composed of only three pieces, two of which are cast metal and do not require hand-labor in finishing, and the other is a straight spring.
1n the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation. Fig. 2 is a view in section. Fig. 3 is the hammer and trigger separately.
The handle B and barrel A are cast in one piece, the barrel being solid, with a sight near the forward end, and a cap or wafer rest at the back end of the barrel, as shown at C, Fig. 1. On the upper part of this rest is cast a spur or point, curved down, as shown at D, Fig. 1. The object of this spur is to hold the wafer in its proper position and prevent it from falling off. The handle is open-work, and shown as curved. The shape of the handle may be varied. The part of the handle near the barrel is circular in form, as shown in Fig. 2. Near the center of this circular part is cast a spur or projection, curved down, as shown at E, Fig. 2. Near the lower end of the handle and inside the frame are cast two spring-rests. Each rest has a short spur cast on it and rising above it. The object and use of the spurs cast on the spring-rest are to hold the springin its place, as shown at F F, Figs. 1 and 2. The object of the circular form in the handle is to guide the hammer and prevent a side motion.
A spur is cast on the upper part of the circle, near the wafer-rest, to aid in holding the wafer in place.
The hammer G and trigger H are preferably cast in one piece, as shown in Fig. 3, with an opening, I, in or near the center of the hammer and a spring-rest and spur near the bottom of the hammer and trigger, as shown at J, Fig. 3. The hammer and trigger are inserted at the side of the handle B'by passingthe spur E through the opening I in the center of the hammer and adjusting the spring K, one end of the said spring bearing up against the hammer, as shown at J, Fig. 1, and the other end over one of the rests and under the other in the handle B, as shown at F F, Fig. 1. The spurs on said spring-rests hold the spring, hammer, and trigger in place, so that when the hammer is pulled back and the spring-rest passes beyond its lowest point the spring holds the hammer back; but as soon as the trigger is pulled and the spring-rest passes beyond. its lowest point the spring throws the hammer down forcibly, so that its end strikes into or on the cap or wafer'rest on the back end of the barrel and explodes the cap or wafer used.
The advantages of this toy pistol over my patent of December 17, 1878, are that it can be reduced in weight, as most of the parts are round, or nearly so, which makes a much cleaner casting and more easily molded, leaving no ragged edges to be hand-finished, asis the case when squares or angles are used.
Another advantage is in the manner of holdin g the hammer and trigger to the barrel, making it less liable to be displaced by pulling on the trigger when the hammer is not drawn back. In my former patent this was a great disadvantage. Unless the spring was the exactlength and nicely adjusted, thehammer was frequently thrown out of place, greatly to the curved upward or headed, and the opening I being in the handle. The operation in such case would be the same.
The barrel can be made in various forms, either round, oval, octagon, or square. I prefer the round or oval form, as shown in the model and drawings.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
lpIn a toy pistol, the hammer and trigger, with its center bearing and spring-rest in one piece .of metal, in combination with the barrel, its Wafer or cap rest, the handle B, the projection or curved spur E, the spring K, and spring-rests F F, substantially as shown and 15 described.
2. The hammer and trigger, with its center opening, I, and spring rest J, in combination with the circular guide L on the handle and the projection or curved spur E, when ar- 20 ranged and constructed substantially as shown and described.
