Application tiled April 2o', i882. Serial N`o.59,623. (No model.)
\ .In the accompanying drawings similar letl ters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
Figure l is a vertical longitudinal section ot' a gun, showing some of my improvements. Fie. 2 shows the carrier in a raised position. Fig. 3 shows a modification ofthe carrier, and Figs. 4 and 5 show my method of attachinga rod to the gun. Fig. 6 s'howsa horizontal longitudinal section ot' part ofthe frame and inagazine through the loading-opening and recessed portion ofthe magazine, showing man` fner in which the cartridges enter the magazine-their ends turning in the recess. Figs. 7 and 8 illustrate inodilications ot' my fly device. A isthe .ti-,amc of the arm; B, the bolt; C, the carrier; c, an accelerating-lever connected to the carrier.
s is a bent lever, which is operated to with draw the firing-pin by the projection pon the locking-link.
f is a ily in the firing-pin.
s is a. set-screw to regulate the forward movement ot' the lever L.
G is the guard strap or bottom of frame, m the magazine, and m is a depression in the magazine.
The bolt B is moved and locked by the lever L and `link L', forming an oblique locking brace having its bearing in the bolt at one en d and in the lower part of the frame at the other. A bentlever, s, is pivoted in the bolt ibrward ol` said link, and has a vertical arm vhich projects into a notch in the firing-pin, as shown in Fig. l, and also a horizontal arm extending back under a projection, p, of the link L', so that when said link rotates to start back the bolt the projection j) bears on the horizontal arm ol the lever ato turn said lever on its pivot and thereby withdraw the liringpin by the engagemcntot' its` rertical arm with Saidvpin.
I hang a ily in the tiring pin or bolt, as described, but not claimed,l in my Patent No. 235,20-l. When the bolt moves back, this ily forces the nose ot the hammer so far back and downward, where it is held bythe scar, that it will no longer bear against' the iringpin, and when the bolt moves forward the tly rotates easily back without farther depressing the nose ot' the hammer or causing unnecessary friction. stead ofbeing pivoted, as here shown, or it may be attached to the bolt or nose ot'tlie hammer and produce the same result.
l place a set-screw or movable stop, s', in the guard strap or frame to regulate the limit ofthe l'orward movement of the lever and link when locking the bolt. This enables me at will to bring the center pivot ofthe link and lever exactly in line with the other-two, or either back or forward ot'said line,so aste make theloeking and unlocking easy or t hard as may bestsuit the peculiarities of the cartridges or operator. p
In the magazine opposite the loadingtrap, and forward of said trap, l cnt out the inside ofthe magazine to leave a depression, as shown at m'. mit the forward end ol'the cartridge, so as to sis 'I The tlyjl may consist ot' a slide, in
This depression is wide enough to ad-' enable it to turn into and enter the magazine.
This construction enables me to charge with long straight shells through a short loadingaperture.
As long straight shells will not l'ecd up an ordinary inclined carrier, I hang a lever, c, in the frame or carrier, and connect it to the carrier or frame by a link, c', the distance being greater from the link tothe carrier-pivot than that from the link to the pivot of the lever c, so that when the carrier rotates to rise upward it acts on the short arm ofthe lever c to accelerate the movement of its long arm and raise the rear of the cartridge above the car rier, as shown in Fig. 2. The lever c may be attached to the carrier behind its pivot, as shown at c', or forward, :1s-shown in dotted lines at m in Fig. l, or a pin and slot, or any of the ordinary means of operating a lever, may be vsubstituted for the link.
Fig. 3 shows a carrier with a modification ofthe accelerating lever and link.
Figs. 4t and 5 show a modification of the method shown in my Patent No. 251,694. of attaching a rod to a gun. The spring s is placed in the frame to push the rod forward into the open thiinbleor projections on the stud T. rlhis stud or thimble is so cut away as to clasp but little more than half of the cir- ICO consists of a flat stud extending inside of the frame and into a groove in the breeclrbolt.
The carrier is constructed with one or both sides raised in front to grasp the cartridge. In l a shot-gun, or where the diameter ot' the car- 'tridge about iills thc spaceiu the frame, I cut depressions inside the frame from near the bottom to near the top, so that said raised 2o parts of the carrier can open and move in such depressions.
When desirable to operate thearm with the hand which supports its weight in firing, I arrange a forked lever, L, as in Fig. 1, in such forni as to be conveniently grasped and operated by the lett hand; and the same hand, bearing under, with the thumb in the fork, easily supports the weight of the arm while the trigger is being;` pulled.-
Havingv thus described my invention, what I claim asA new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a tire-arm, a reciprocating,` bolt, and a firing-pin with longitudinal movement in said bolt, and abell-crank lever pivoted inthe bolt below the riugpin, itsupper vertical arm engaging a shoulder in the ring-pin and its lower horizontal arm extendingin line of movement ofthe locking-piece, combined with an oblique locking-piece, so that said lockingpiece by turning toward the axis ot' the bolt turns the lever by engaging` its lower arm, and thus forces back the firing-pin, substantially as described. i
2. The combination, with a pivoted`hammer, of a reciprocating.r bolt` and a iy arranged in the bolt, substantially as described, whereby the ily presses back the hammer as the bolt moves back, but rides easily over as the bolt moves forward.
3. In a magazine-gun, a frame and a. carrier therein, combined with a lever fulcrumed in the frame and having its short arm connected to the carrier, whereby the long arm of the lever is operated to raise the rear of the cartridge as the carrier rises, substantially as described.
4. In' a magazine-gun, the combination ofa frame having a loading-opening to admit; the passage ol' the cartridge into the magazine, and a magazine recessed on the oppositeside and forward ot' said opening' in the frame, so that. the forward end of the cartridge may partly enter said recess to turn into the magazine, substantially as stated.
5. In a tire-arm, the frame having a socket therein parallel with the barrel, a spring in said socket, a rod, a barrel, anda cut-out thinible at the front of the barrel, whereby the rod is held with partof its face exposed, sub- 7o stantially as described.
