SPECIFICATION forming pm of-Letters Patent N0. 255,241, dated march 21, 1852.
V I Application filed January 80, 1882. (No model.)
Be it known that we, EnoUAnD BLED, or
. Pnris,France, and JEAN WAnNANT, of Liege,
Belgium, have invented certain new andusefullmprovements in the Lock Mechanism of Fire-Arms, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
Our invention consists in certain improvemeuts in the lock mechanism of fire-arms, substantially as hereinafter described, and is more particular] y adapted for revolving firearms.
The accompanying drawings show two modi fications of our invention as applied to revolving fire-arms.
Figured is. a .uenlical section three gh the center of one revolver, with the hammer athalfcock. Fig. 2 shows a vertical section of the same, the hammer being atfull-coek. Figs. 3, 4, 5, and 6 show separately each piece taken out of the lock. Fig. 7 is a vertical section through the center of another revolver slightly different fromthc first. Fig. 8 represents the same section again, but with the' hammer brought to full-coclr. Figs. 9, 10, 11, 12.,and 13 show all the parts of the look when taken to pieces. I
-;Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
' the frame ottherevolver. It is providedwitha pawl, b, which causes the cylinder to re a projection, f,
In the accompanying drawings, a is the hammer, carried on a pivot madein one piece with volve. The trigger 0 also has its pivot made in one piece with the frame of the revolver. Said trigger a has a projection, cl, which passes between the lower part, e, of the hammer and under the pawl b. The mainsprin g g is double'brahched. Its lowerbranch acts directly upon the trigger,
'and its upper branch acts upon the hammer,
either directly, as in Fig. 1, or it may be made to press against a small lever, h, as in Fig. 7,
the said lever being so arranged as to act at the same timeupon the'pawl b in order to keep it in contact with the cylinder. By the use of lever hit becomes possible to do away.
-' with the small spring h, Fig. 1.
Theroperation of the lock is as follows;
-part of'spring g.
the projection 01 escapes-from the projection f,
so that the pawl b and hammer a become free and are brought; down by the spring 9, thus firing the cartridge. The cylinder is firmly held to its position, as usual, by the projection 11 on the trigger a while the cartridge is being fired. The trigger, when released from the pressure of the finger, is brought down to its first position by the action of the lower While thatniovement takes place the projection d of the trigger comes in contact with the top of projection f, and the pawl b is pushed back, so as to allow projeclion fl The lower branch of spring 9 is made with a catch,]c, so that during its downward mo- '70 tion it presses upon a project-ion, l, of the hammer and brings it back to half-cock automatically. The action of lever It requires a few more explanations. 8, the said lever is subjected at m to the press. ure of the upper branch of spring 9, and is thus kept in contact with the hammer atn. Thepartsin contact are so shaped as to allow a slight oscillation ofthe lever, the long branch 0, Fig. 12, ofwhich acts upon a small cam, p, Fig.13, made withthe pivot of the pawl d, which is thus constantly pressed against the cylinder. When the hammer is cooked by the As is seen in Figs. 7 and thumb acting directly upon it the operation;
of the lock is altered slightly. In this cash projection e of the hammer lifts up theprojec by the spring g, and the operation continues then as before.
Having thus fully described our invention,
we claim as new and desire to secure by, Lettors Patent- In combination with the hammer, the mam- 5 by its projeqtin-n flexerts 'E wage-2a spring, and the trigger having a pmjectiom sition by the yielding of the pawl, essentially (3, arranged for operation fleas-milled, the as herein set forth.
