Definitions

  • ABSTRACT [52] U.S. Cl. 42/72 [5i] Int. Cl. F41c 23/00 A gas expelling pistol having a reversible butt end [58] Field of Search 42/72, 73, 71 P, movable between a first or extended position wherein 42/71 R the pistol may be used as a long arm that is placed against the shoulder of the user, and a second position [56] References Cited wherein the pistol may be used as a short arm.
  • the novelty of the present invention resides in the fact that a butt end is placed at the extreme end of two small rods that are substantially parallel to each other and that are articulated at the other extreme end to the case of the gun, so that the butt end is in such a position that its free end can be inserted around the front end of the barrel of the pistol.
  • the pistol has the characteristic of the known gas-expelling pistols since it can be placed upon a shoulder and in this instance is similar to a rifle; while, on the other hand, when said small rods are not extended, the length of the arm is sufficiently short so that it could be easily placed in a portfolio of the type that would carry legal-size papers.
  • the gasexpelling pistol according to the present invention as provided with the movable small rods is always in condition to fire, and the butt end that surrounds the barrel also serves as a secondary handle that can be held with the hand that does not hold the conventional hilt.
  • a gas-expelling pistol of the type that includes a barrel, to the case of which is articulated a hilt, a trigger being protected by a guard of the gunlock and two small, substantially parallel rods being attached to said case.
  • These two small rods extend into less-separated portions, the ends of which converge into an end of the resilient hilt.
  • the other end of said hilt is bifurcated and reinforced with curved metallic small rods. The bifurcations are insertable around the front end of the barrel when the small rods are reversed. Retainers are fixed to both sides of the rear end of said case which retain the small rods when they are located in the reverse position.
  • FIG. 1 is an elevational view of the gas-expelling pistol in accordance with the present invention, with the small rods extended so that the hilt is located at the forward end of the barrel;
  • FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the pistol shown in FIG. 1 wherein the hilt-reinforcing small rods are shown in dotted lines;
  • FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view of a portion of the pistol shown in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 is an elevational view of the pistol show-ing small rods in the rearwardly extending position wherein the pistol is usable as a rifle.
  • the pistol has a case I, to which a barrel 2 is attached by means of a screw 3, and other fastening devices which are conventional in this type of arms and which will not be described in detail since they are well known in the art.
  • the ends 4" are joined to the rods at substantially right angles, and they are enveloped in a resilient material which forms the butt end 5 of the attachment.
  • the butt end 5 is formed such that it serves as a support to be placed against the users shoulder (FIG. 4) or as a secondary handle or hilt (FIG.
  • the butt end 5 includes an end that is located opposite to the end through which the ends 4" of small rods 4 extend. This end of butt end 5 comprises two bifurcations 5 reinforced by small rods 5"; and whenthese elements are placed in the manner as illustrated in FIG. 2, they permit the front end of barrel 2 to be received between the bifurcations 5, thus holding it firmly in place.
  • retainer elements 6 In the rear part of case 1, in other words, on the opposite side of the gunlock guard 8 that surrounds the trigger 9 and attached to the screws 7 on both sides of the case 1, are retainer elements 6.
  • Each of the retainer elements 6, of the well-known type, is formed in the central part thereof with a slight depression 6' in which a small rod 4 is located when the small rods are reversely extended in the manner illustrated in FIG. 4.
  • the small rods 4 are moved in the manner illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. Even under such conditions, the gas-expelling pistol can be fired immediately, since it is only necessary to hold the hilt 10 with one hand, and to hold the butt end 5 with the other hand. Under such conditions, the butt end 5 serves as a secondary support and could even be placed on a fixed object.
  • the gas-expelling pistol in this position fits perfectly in a portfolio capable of carrying legal-size papers, and it is even possible to carry the pistol under a jacket and thus is practically imperceptible.
  • a gas-expelling pistol comprising a case, a barrel attached to said case at the forward end and a hilt secured to said case at the rear end, said case including a trigger protected by a guard, the improvement comprising a pair of elongated parallel rods, to one end of which a butt end is attached, the other ends of said rods being pivotally secured to said case, said butt end engaging said barrel in one position of said rods, wherein the butt end defines a forward handle for said pistol, said rods being reversely rotatable to locate said butt end rearwardly of said hilt, wherein said butt end is used as a shoulder rest when the pistol is fired, and retainer elements secured to the sides of said case and receiving said rods therein for retaining said rods in the reverse position thereof, said butt end being formed of a resilient material and receiving ends of said rods therein that are bent at right angles.
