Definitions

  • This invention relates to shotguns'of the type having a barrel; a breech blockad apted to recoil -upon firing of the gun, and a carrier for transtion.
  • An object of the :invention is to provide a new shell transfer carrier and-means forroperatingthesame, the
  • a iurther object of the invention is to provide an improved shotgun particularly adapted to take care of two shots in succession and which may be manually loaded in a very-simpl and easy manner.
  • a still further aim of the invention is to provide a shotgun of this type whereby a shell, of
  • any'length within recognized standards may be manually positioned upon the carrier by merely inserting the shell through a loadingopening in the side of the receiver.
  • the first shell when positioned on the carrier, isimmedi-ately-transferred by the carrier to aposition where the breech block (the same having been released from recoil position by the insertion of the shell) moves the shell into the firing chamher of: the barrel.
  • the second shell may now be placed upon the carrier by inserting the shell through said opening and this second shell is maintained upon the carrier and against any likelihood of it being thrown out through the loading opening :upon recoil of the gun.
  • the shell on the carrier is lifted to a position where the breech block on its forward movement will feed the same into the firing chamber.
  • the invention accordingly consists in the features -;of construction v combination. .of ,elements and arrangement of:- parts -which.will. be exempli- .fied in'the construction -hereaiter se-t .,for.th :and

  • I he breech I block is urgedb forwardly" to its breech closing po'sition'by' means 'ofan aotion spring'i I locatedwithin the -stock.
  • the barrel will be advanced by the recoil spring to firing position.
  • the action spring will then return the breech block to breech closing position with respect to the barrel which has already been brought to firing position.
  • the firearm will, of course, be provided with a suitable firing mechanism, the same being shown more or less diagrammatically in the drawings.
  • This mechanism includes a trigger plate 25 located in the lower rear corner of the receiver, a trigger 26, and a hammer 21.
  • the receiver has a loading opening 30 in its side wall, and disposed below the ejection opening and within the receiver is a carrier 3
  • the carrier has a pair of arms 33 extending rearwardly from the shell receiving portion, these arms being in straddling relation to the firing mechanism and being pivoted between their ends to the trig-
  • the arms of the carrier are pivoted by means of pivot pins 34 to lugs or ribs 35 extending upwardly from the tri ger plate.
  • an upstanding flange 36 for laterally limiting the extent to which the shell may be inserted into position on the carrier.
  • This flange adjacent its upper forward end. is inclined rearwardly and upwardlv as at 31 and then downwardly and rearwardly at 38 so that the same may properly cooperate with t e breech block, as later described.
  • Carried by the rear ends of the arms of the carrier is a locking do Ml for locking the breech block in approximately its rearmost recoiled position.
  • the link has an abutment 4! which cooperates with this dog.
  • the dog is normallv urged into breech block holding position and the carrier is normally ur ed towards shell deli ering position by a spring 42, this arran ement bein genera lv s milar to that shown in my said pending application.
  • the numeral 45 designates a carrier latch pivotallv mounted in a recess 46 in the wall of the receiver op osite the loadin opening and normallv ur ed in to latching position w th respect to the carrier by a leaf spring 41.
  • the carrier latch adjacent its rear end. has an edge 1 8 which is adapted to overlie and engage an ed e 49 on the flange of the carrier in order to hold t e latter in down position after the last shot is fired or there is no shell on the carrier.
  • the rear ed e 50 of the latch is adapted to engage in front of the rim of the shell so as to hold the shell against accidental displacement and at this time t e shell holds the carrier latch out of the path of movement of the carrier.
  • a lip havin a rearwardly facing shoulder 52 which is laterally aligned with the rear edge 50 of the carrier latch so that this shoulder and that edge cooperate to hold the properly inserted shell against accidental displacement.
  • the carrier latch is provided with a button 53 by means of which it may be released from the carrier, this being done'particularly when it is desired to manually close the action.
  • a pusher 55 mounted for limited reciprocation in the rearward end of the guide and normally urged rearwardly by a relatively light spring 55 within the guide.
  • the forward edge 51 of the trigger plate constitutes a rearward stop against which the head of the shell engages.
  • a shell may now be inserted through the loading opening 3!] by placing the shell in the inclined position shown by dotted lines in Fig. 2 with its forward end in the receiving opening and against the pusher 55 and then moving the shell forwardly to compress the pusher spring until the head of the shell clears the rear end of the loading opening and then pushing the rear end of the shell laterally into position.
  • Another shell may now be inserted through the loading opening and onto the carrier in the manner previously described but, in this instance, while the carrier latch is released, the breech block, due to its engagement with the flange of the carrier, will.hold the carrier down, and the head of the shell will engage and be maintained in engaged position behind the rear edge of the latch and the shoulder 52 of the lip.
  • the barrel and breech block Upon firing of the shell in the firing chamber, the barrel and breech block will recoil in unison until rearward movement of the barrel is stopped by the recoil spring, and then the breech block will continue to recoil and during such movement the spent shell is extracted from the firing chamber and ejected through the ejection opening in the usual manner by a suitable extractor and ejector.
  • the carrier is retained in down position because of the engagement of the flange 36 against the bottom of the advancing barrel extension, and while the flange is so engaged, the breech block reaches its rearmost position and the dog 40 engages the shoulder 4
  • the barrel extension moves out of engagement with the flange 36 of the carrier, whereupon the carrier, under the influence of the reaction spring and the spring 42, is raised to a position where the shell thereon is in line with the firing chamber and, of course, the line of movement of the breech block.
  • the breech block when the carrier is thus raised, is released from its rearmost position and, therefore, under the influence of the action spring, moves forwardly and forces the raised shell into the shell chamber of the barrel. This sequence of operation is repeated after a shot as long as fresh shells are loaded into the loading opening. If both shots are fired, the carrier latch comes into operation and the mechanism remains open, the parts now being in the same position as described at a starting point.
