JOHN M. BROWNING, OF OGDEN, UTAH.
SIGHT FOR FIREARMS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 701,289, dated June 3, 1902.
Application filed Decemher lfi, 1901. Serial No. 86,049. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, JOHN M. BROWNING, of Ogden, in the county of Weber and State of Utah, have invented anew and useful Improvement in Sights for Firearms; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon, to bea full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in
Figure 1, a broken View, in side elevation, of the forward end of a gun provided with my improved sight; Fig. 2, a broken view showing my improved sight; Fig. 3, a view in transverse section on theline a b of Fig. 2. My invention relates to an improvement in sights for that class of firearms in which the barrel is inclosed by a jacket, the object being'to provide for the convenient application and adjustment of the forward and rearsights of a gun, either or both.
With these ends in view my invention consists in a sight having certain details of con-' struction and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter described, and particularly recited in the claims.
As herein shown, my invention has been applied to the construction of the forward sight of a gun; but it is also applicable, as
aforesaid, to the construction of the rear sight of a gun. However, the application of myinvention to the forward sight will sufficiently explain the construction and use.
In carrying out my invention as herein shown I locate an expansible ring 2 within the jacket 3, which surrounds the barrel 4, the said ring springing or expanding to closely fit the inside periphery of the jacket. The middle portion of this spring is formed with two threaded screw-holes to receive the inner ends of two screws 5 5, which are passed through the ends of the sight-piece 6 and through transversely-elongated clearanceopenings 7, formed in the top of the jacket 3. When these screws are turned home, the ring 2 is drawn upward and clamped against the inner periphery of the-jacket, so 'asto firmly hold the sight in any position in which it may in the jacket 3 for justifying the position of the sight-piece upon the jacket, the ring being at this time rotated Within narrow limits in the jacket. When the sight-piece is removed altogether, the ring will not be displaced, on account of its tendency to spring outward and bind.
It is apparent that in carrying out my invention some changes from the construction herein shown and described may be made, and I would therefore have it understood that I do not limit myself to the exact details herein described, but hold myself at liberty to make such changes as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of my invention.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In afirearm, the combination with the barrelthereof, of a barrel-jacket formed with one or more clearance-openings, a sight-piece located upon the jacket, and a ring located within the jacket in frictional contact with the inner periphery thereof, and adapted to have the sight-piece connected with it through the said opening or openings which permit the I ing witnesses.
