1953 s. DOLGACIUS DROPPED GUN STOCK FOR AUTOMATIC GUNS Filed-NOV. 22, 1950 Patented Feb. 3, 1953 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE DROPPED GUN STOCK FOR AUTOMATIC GUNS Simonas Dolgacius, Chicago, Ill.
Application November 22, 1950, Serial No. 197,159
1 Claim. 1
This invention relates to a dropped gun stock for automatic guns.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a dropped gun stock adapted so that the gunman can, with safety, support the automatic gun in an elevated position and over a trench wall or barrier without exposure of his head to return gunfire and wherein the gun stock supports a periscope serving as a part of the sighting system and wherein the pull of the automatic gun trigger is effected with a suspended hook.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a dropped gun sight wherein adequate handle means is provided on the forward end of the gun stock to press the rear end of the stock against the shoulder and wherein the enlarged upper end or upstandingportion extending upwardly from an intermediate point along the length of the lower portion of the gun stock is adequate to support the automatic gun, the pull cable and the periscope sight device.
Other objects of the present invention are to provide a dropped gun stock for automatic guns which is of simple construction, inexpensive to manufacture, durable, light in weight, easy to handle and efficient in operation.
For other objects and for a better understanding of the invention, reference may be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a side elevational view of the gun stock with the gun attached.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view of the periscope sighting device.
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary detail view showin the pull hook and cable, the pull hook being pivoted upon the gun stock and the cable being normally held out of pull position by spring means connected with the trigger of the gun.
Referring now to the figures, ID represents an upstanding body member having a top wide head I l and formed of laterally spaced plates. Between the upper head portions of the laterally spaced plates is fixed an automatic gun I2 by means of fastening elements [3. The gun l2 has a depending magazine It. The spaced plates have disposed between them a periscope device [5 havingan eye piece it and an upwardly extending portion l'l. Within this portion [1 are prism elements with mirrored surfaces. These elements are indicated at l8 and IS. The upper element 19 is in line with the forward sight piece 2| on the forward end of barrel 22 of the gun l2. The gun l2 has a trigger 23 that is normally urged forwardly by a spring 24 and anchored at 25 on the upstanding assembly H].
A cable 26 is connected to the trigger 23 and extends over a pulley 21 and downwardly to pulley 28 for connection with a pivot hook lever 29 pivoted at 3| on the .portion 10.
On the lower end of the upstanding assembly and connected between the plates thereof is a gun stock 32 rigidly secured thereto and adapted so when the gun is placed to the shoulder of the user the eye piece iii of the periscope will be in line with the eye of the user of the gun. Similarly attached to the forward part of the lower end of the plates forming the upstanding assembly is a holder member 33 having a depending handle 34.
The lower part of the upstanding assembly ID is narrowed, as indicated at 35, so that the same can be grasped by the hand of the user of the gun and in a position so that the trigger finger can be placed around the trigger hook 29. The other hand of the user can be placed on the depending handle 34 so that the hands of the user can be properly aligned as they are aligned with an ordinary gun. A pull of the trigger lever 29 will draw downwardly the cable 26 and pull the main trigger 23 of the gun against the action of the spring- 24.
The periscope i5 is held in place against downward displacement by a bracket 36 and a clamp screw 31.
While various changes may be made in the detail construction, it shall be understood that such changes shall be within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claim.
Having thus set forth and disclosed the nature of my invention, what is claimed is:
In combination, an upright assembly having spaced plates, each of said plates having an enlarged upper head portion, an automatic gun connected to the upper ends of said plates and therebetween to extend forwardly thereof, said gun having a trigger, a spring connected to the trigger and anchored to one of the plates to urge the trigger forwardly, vertically spaced pulleys disposed between the upstanding plates, a cable extending from the trigger downwardly over said pulleys and forwardly under the lower pulley, a trigger lever pivotally connected between the plates and connected to said cable forwardly of the lower pulley, said plates of the upright assembly being narrow at their lower ends to permit the hand to be wrapped about the same, said trigger lever being accessible with the trigger finger of the user of the gun, a gun stock connected to the lower end of the assembly and the forwardly extending hand supporting portion extending forwardly from the lower end of the upright assembly, said gun having a front sight on its forward end, a periscope connected between the plates of the upright assembly and having upper and lower prism elements, the upper end of said' periscope extending above the gun for the alignment of the upper prism element with the front sight, an eye piece extending from the periscope and in alignment with the lower prism, a bracket support disposed. between said plates to receive and retain said periscope in a vertical position between said plates and having a clamping screw for holding the periscope within said bracket.
