Definitions
- This invention relates to an improved type of sling swivel structure for securing a sling to a rie or other firearm.
- the general object of the invention is to provide a swivel which is very easily detachable from the iirearm to which it is connected, so that the sling may be readily detached when it is desired to use the gun without a sling;
- a swivel embodying the invention attains these results with an extremely simple structure, which is economical to manufacture and operationally reliable for extended use under rough treatment conditions.
- a swivel embodying the invention includes a hollow mounting member which may be permanently secured to the gun, and to which a sling mounting loop part is detachably securable.
- the loop has a shank projecting therefrom and having an inner end adapted to extend through an aperture in the mounting member and into the interior thereof.
- the shank carries a cross piece which is received in the hollow member and is shaped to pass through the aperture in the hollow member in one orientation relative thereto, but is receivable within a detent notch in another orientation, to retain the shank and loop against separation from the mounting member.
- a spring which yieldingly urges the cross piece or the head of the loop carried shank into the detent notch, to thus releasably retain the loop against separation from the mounting member.
- the moutig member is purposely formed of two sections, one of which is separable from the other by a releasable connection, to allow access to the interior of the mounting member for securing it to the gun.
- FIG. l is a side view of a ritie having a sling mounted at its front and rear ends by two swivels constructed in accordance with the invention
- FIG. 2 is a fragmentary enlarged vertical section taken on line 2-2 of FIG. 1, but showing the sling connecting loop detached from the mounting member;
- FIG. 3 is a View taken on line 3 3 of FIG. 2;
- FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 2, but showing the loop attached to the mounting member
- FIGS. 5 and 6 are sections taken on lines 5 5 and 6--6 respectively of FIG. 4;
- FIG. 7 is a view showing the rear sling of the FIG. 1
- FIG. 8 is a fragmentary view similar to FIG. 2, but showing a variational manner of connecting the mounting member to the gun;
- FIG. 9 is a view similar to FIG. 4, but showing another variation of the invention.
- FIGS. l0 and 1l are sections taken on lines 10-10 and 11-11 respectively of FIG. 9;
- FIG. l2 is a view similar to FIG. 2 of another form of the invention.
- FIG. l I have shown at 10 a conventional rifle, whose wooden body 11 has the usual forearm portion 12 carrying barrel 13, and the usual butt stock portion 13.
- a conventional sling 14 takes the form of a flexible strap whose opposite ends are attached to the forearm 12 and butt stock 13 by two swivel assemblies 15 and 16 respectively.
- FIGS. 2 through 6 illustrate in det-ail the structure of the forward assemby 15, while FIG. 7 illustrates the different manner of attachment for the rear assembly 16.
- the forearm 12 has a typically cylindrical recess 18 in its upper surface beneath barrel 13. This recess is utilized for reception of a nut 19 by which the forward sling swivel assembly 15 is secured to forearm 12.
- Nut 19 may have an essentially cylindrical outer surface which fits closely within recess 1S, and has slightly oversize axial serrations 11S biting into the wall of recess 18 to retain the nut in fixed position in the recess and against rotation therein.
- Assembly 15 includes a mounting member or section 20 having a cylindrical main portion 21 centered about a vertical axis 22 extending upwardly through the center of the barrel, and received and fitting closely within a recess 121 in stock 11, flush with its undersurface 122.
- a reduced diameter upwardly projecting shank 23 which extends upwardly through a passage 24 in forearm 12, and has an upper threaded end 25 threadedly connected to nut 19 to secure member 20 to the forearm.
- this member has a transverse annular shoulder 26 which bears upwardly against a shoulder 123 in the forearm annularly about axis 22, to form a rigid connection positively holding member 20 in fixed position.
- cylindrical portion 21 of mounting member 20 carries a transverse bottom wall 27, which is rigidly secured in some manner to portion 21, as by brazing, upsetting the lower end of portion 21, or other means.
- Member 27 is iiush with the undersurface of the stock or body 11, and has an elongated aperture 28 extending upwardly therethrough, of the outline configuration illustrated in FIG. 3, with the longer dimension 29 of this aperture extending in a front to rear direction relative to the gun, that is, in a direction parallel to the front to rear axis represented at 30 in FIGS. 1 and 3.
- the width 31 of aperture 23, transveisely of the front to rear axis 30, is substantially smaller than its length 29, so that a cross piece 32 of a detachable loop member 33 may pass upwardly through aperture 28 in one relative orientation, but not in a predetermined turned condition.
- Loop member 33 has an elongated loop portion 34 (FIG. 4) to which strap 14 is secured, and which loop lies in a plane 35 (FIG. l) disposed transversely of front to rear axis 30, when member 33 is attached to mounting member 2) and the gun in the condition of use of member 30 and the sling.
- Loop 34 rigidly carries a shank 36 .which projects upwardly along axis 22, and which rigidly carries the transverse cross piece 32 disposed transversely of axis 30 and parallel to the upper and lower main parallel elongated portions 37 and 38 of loop 34.
- Cross piece 32 preferably has the circular cross section illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 6, to present a cylindrical external surface having portions projecting at opposite sides of shank 3d, for engagement with end wall member 27 of the mounting structure,
- the parts 34 and 36 may also be of similar circular or cylindrical cross section.
- cross piece 32 is shaped to pass upwardly through aperture 28 in the broken line position 32 of FIG. 5.
- loop element 33 may be turned about axis 22 to the full line position of FIG. 5, in which the projecting ends of cross piece 32 are engageable with wall 27 to prevent downward movement of cross piece 32.
- cross piece 32 is preferably turned 90 degrees about axis 22 from the broken line inserting position 32 of FIG.
- cross piece 32 is receivable within a pair of detent notches 39 formed in the upper otherwise planar surface 40 of member 27, to relasably retain cross piece 32 and the attached shank 36 and loop against returning rotary movement to the broken line position of FIG. 5.
- Notches 39 are of partial cylindrical configuration, corresponding to the external shape of cross piece 32 (se-e FIG. 6), so that the cross piece 32 may swivel readily about axis il of cross ⁇ piece 32, between the different broken line positions 36 of FIG. 2.
- portion 2l of mounting member 2t contains a coil spring d2, which bears upwardly against the upper transverse wall surface 43 of portion 2l, and which bears downwardly against a circular disc 44, having a bottom surface 45 disposed transversely of axis 22.
- the rear swivel assembly I6 connected to butt stock 13 of the gun may be considered as identical with the forward swivel assembly described in FIGS, 2 through 6, except that, in place of the upper machine screw type of mounting stud 23 in FIG. 2, mounting member 20a of FIG. 7 rigidly carries an upwardly projecting wood screw portion Attachment of member 20a and its contents to the butt stock may then be effected by merely turning member 2da about its axis 22a to screw the upper tapered threaded wood screw portion 23a into the wood of the gun butt stock.
- the rear end of the sling is attached to the mounting ymember 2@ of the second swivel assembly 16, in the same manner discussed above in connection with the forward assembly, so that both ends of the sling are effectively secured to the gun, but with their loop members 33 being free for limited swivelling movement about axis 41 of the cross piece.
- loops 33 may be freed by merely exerting sufficient turning force, without upward force, to
- FIG. 8 shows a slightly variational form of the invention which is the same as the first form except inthe following particulars.
- mounting member 2011 is secured to forearm 12b by a machine screw 23h which extends downwardly through passage 24h in the forearm, and is threadedly connected at 12e-b into a threaded bore 46 formed in member 201').
- Head 1% of screw 23h is received within recess ISb in the forearm, and bears downwardly against a shoulder 47 formed in that recess, to tighten member lb upwardly within recess 12M in the forearm.
- the outer surface of element 2Gb is also illustrated as having axial serrations 129i), which bite into the wall of recess 12M? to prevent rotation of element 2019. Similar serrations may be provided in any of the other forms of the device.
- FIGS. 9 to 1l show another form of swivel assembly ISC which is similar to that shown in FIGS. l through 6, but has been adapted for use at both the front and rear ends of the gun body.
- This swivel assembly includes a mounting member body 20c which is very similar to body 2@ of FIG. 2, but is secured to the forearm or butt stock portion of the gun body by a screw 23C having a head i230 received within body 2de.
- the threaded shank of screw 23e extends upwardly through an opening in top wall 43e of member 26C and may be either a wood screw as shown in FIG. 7 or a machine screw element such as that shown at 23 in FIG. 2 for attaching body 29C rigidly to the gun body.
- FIGS. 9 through l1 form of the invention includes a detachable member 27C having a tubular upwardly projecting portion 48 which is detachably connectible to the cylindrical side wall of member 20c.
- cylindrical wall 4.8 of member 27C contains a I slot 49 (FIG. l0), which coacts with a lug 59 formed by inward deformation of the cylindrical side wall of member tlc to form a quickly releasable bayonet connection between parts 27C and 29C.
- the bottom transverse portion IZc of member 27e contains an aperture 28C shaped as is aperture 2S of FIG.
- Shank 36e may carry loop 34C in a manner allowing swivelling movement of that loop about an axis 5I (FIG. 9), by reception of the aligned cylindrical ends 52 of loop 34C within correspondingly cylindrical recesses 53 in an enlargement 54 rigidly carried by and attached to shank 36C.
- a spring 42C urges a disc 4c downwardly against cross piece 32C.
- loop 34C and its connected parts of FIG. 9 are in their mounted positions of attachment to member 2de lug 50 of member 29e is received in the position of FIG. 10, within the closed end 55 of I slot 49.
- this lug retains member 27C and the connected parts against downward separation from part 20c.
