  • Fig. 11 is a sectional view of the end of a cartridge showing a modified embodiment of a primer adapted to cooperate with said electric firing system.
  • asource of electric current which irnay be constituted advantageously but not necessarily by a battery having a primary cell
  • Said cell battery or the like source of electric current may be incorporated removably in the fire arm, for instance inside the suitably designed and recessed butt of said fire-arm, or in any other suitable manner.
  • the cell battery or its substitute may be fitted on any other suitable partof the firearm or even be independent of the latter and be connected'with it only through electric leads. It should be considered that the possibility of removing the cell and disconnecting it from the fire arm provides absolute and complete safety.
  • a cell serves as a source of electric current
  • its terminals 1 and 1 are insulated by means of an insulating sheath 1 of any suitable known type (Fig. 2).
  • This insulating sheath 1 is removed or torn oif -according to the case at the moment at which the cell is set'in position for use. This insulation prevents any fortuit'oiis ignition when the cartridges lie in bulk, for instance, with a battery.
  • the battery may also be of the type provided with hollow embedded terminals adapted to receive the male jacks. A fortuitous contact with the primer of the cartridges is thus made impossible. It is also feasible to enclose the cell or cells inside a casing of insulating material.
  • the battery or like source of electric current is associated with cartridges or missiles provided with a special pri'merZ Fig. 3) relying on the principle of the heating of an incandescent filament through which flows the current produced by the battery or like source.

  • casing 2 of the primer may constitute also the-case of the cartridge and be in one piece therewith.
  • Fig. 1 showing in a rough, manner the electric circuit which includes a lead 11 connecting the positive terminal 1 of the battery 1 with a small conductive plate 11, the latter is electrically insulated through the part 12 with reference to a further small conductive plate 13.
  • the latter is in permanent contacting relationship with the conductive rod 9 with the interposition of a spring 14, said rod 9 engaging the central contact-piece 5 of the cartridge primer.
  • the rod 9 is electrically insulated from the remainder of the fire arm by a sheath 15 of insulating material.
  • a contact-making stud 16 has its free end projecting through the plate 11 up to a small distance from the plate 13 away from which it is held by a spring 17 fitted between a shoulder on said stud 16 and the plate 11 connected with the lead 11
  • the opposite end of the stud 16 is pivotally secured at 18 to the trigger 18.
  • the stud 16 is electrically insulated with reference to the trigger through the agency of an insulating layer 19 suitably inserted across the end of the stud 16 secured to the trigger and above the latter.
  • a further lead 20 connects the negative terminal 1 of the battery with the mass constituted by the metal sections of the fire arm so as to close the circuit over the case 3 of the cartridge and the casing 2 of the primer through said mass.
  • the operation of the electric firing system is obvious: when the trigger 18 is shifted upwardly, the stud 16 is necessarily also shifted upwardly against the pressure of the spring 17. As soon as the free end of the stud 16 engages the conductive plate 13, the electric circuit is closed and is energized so that the current may bring to incandescence the wire or wires 6 of the cartridge primer. This incandescence provides for the ignition of the latter and of the gunpowder.
  • said contact is produced through, a ball I r i ,24 urged outwardly against said plate 11 by a spring 25,v said ball and said spring beinghoused inside a cup or case: 26 to which the lead 11 is welded or otherwise,

  • the mountingof such an arrangement including a spring-urged ball engaging the trigger is optional. shooting of clay pigeons for, instance may be performed with greater accuracy without said arrangement.
  • the control of the firing through the closing of the circuit in the section of the latter which provides for the connection with the mass.
  • the current is fed directly to the conductive rod 9 which is in contacting relationship with the cartridge primer, while the trigger engages the mass or an extension thereof.
  • the electric firing arrangement illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5 shows a further considerable interest through its double acting automatic safety system.
  • Said safety system provides for an automatic interruption of the current flowing through the mass when no firing is being contemplated while the continuity of the mass and of the passage provided therein for the current is automatically restored through the mere grasping of the gun prior to firing.
  • the second action of the safety system is provided by an arrangement adapted to lock, as desired, in its circuit-interrupting position, the member controlling the passage provided for the current through the mass.
  • FIG. 4 This is illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5, wherein the lead 20 connected with the negative terminal of the battery connects at its other end with a stationary contact-piece 31 attached to the stock.
  • a safety lever 32 is connected pivotally for instance at 32 with the trigger guard 28 of thegun or in any other manner so that the safety lever amass? 32 is automatically actuated as soon as the gun is grasped for firing.
  • a link is secured pivotally at 32 through-one of its ends while its other end engages and is controlled by 'a push member 37 carried slidingly on the tail-end of the rocker 23

  • the elongated safety lever 38 allows producing easily and conveniently'a contact with the mass when the marksmangrasps the gun for firing. This arrangement accomplishes the substitution for the link 35 and for the push member 7 of a simpler manually operated safety system providing for the locking of the lever 38 so as to prevent any pivoting thereof.

  • FIG. 6 This removable training arrangement is illustrated by Way of example in Fig. 6. It includes chiefly an optic system located in front of a luminous source.
  • the electric bulb 40 is screwed or otherwise secured inside a sleeve 41 fitted inside a dummy case 42, theouter size of which is that of a normal case of the type carried by the cartridges used withthe gun considered, so that said dummy case may be fitted inside the chamber of the gun barrel in the same manner as a normal cartridge.
  • a tube 45 is screwed through one end into the outer end of the dummy case 42.
  • Said tube has a diameter smaller than that of said dummy case so as to be readily introduced into the barrel without any contacting with the wall of the latter.
  • the optic system is constituted by a plurality of lenses such as 45 and 45 as illustrated by way of a mere exemplification since any other lens arrangement may be used for concentrating the luminous flux of the'bulb into a'very accurately limited luminous beam. Accuracyin training is improved by the fact that the arrangement defined is fitted inside the barrel of the gun.
  • each closing of the circuit through operation of the trigger 18 pno'duces instantaneously an illumination of the bulb andthe projection of a luminous beam along the axis of the gun barrel so as to simulate an actual shot.
