- UNI FRANK L. PUTNEY, OF SUNSHINE, WYOMING.
GUN -SIGHT.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that FRANK L. PUTNEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sunshlne, in the county of Bighorn and State of Wyoming, has invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gun-Sights, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to fire arms and more particularly to sights therefor, and has for 1ts ob ect to provide an adjustable sight to meet the requirements of different persons and add to the efficiency of a gun for varied use. The sight is simple and easily manufactured.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description, and it w ll be understood that changes in the specific structure shown may be made within the scope of the claims without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawings forming a portion of this spec1fication, and in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, Figure 1 is a sectional view along the barrel at the breech, of a gun bearing the present sight, Fig. 2 is an elevational view at rlght angles to Fig. 1, Fig. 3 is a top view of the sight, Fig. 4 is a detail of the adjusting means, Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the complete sight, Fig. 6 is a sectional view transversely of a modified form of the present invention Referring now to the drawings, there is shown a portion of a gun barrel 7, having a sight plate 8, to which there is fastened the base 9 of the present sight.
Two annular vertically extending frames 10 and 11 are mounted revolubly upon the base 9, being supported by side uprights 9, the frames lying in spaced parallel relation to each other and extending longitudinally of the base. A wire 12 is carried by each frame, these Wires being attached to tabs 13 carried by each frame and located diametrically opposite to each other. As shown, the corresponding tabs of the two frames are spaced from each other longitudinally of the base 9, so that the wires extend at an angle to each other and in crossed relation. The tabs of each frame project inwardly toward the adjacent frame, so as to bring the wires into mutual contact at their crossing point, the wires thus lying between the frames. Two transverse gears 14 and 15 respectively, are mounted in the base in horizontal position, the inner end portions Specification of Letters Patent.

of the gears being in mesh. The gear 15 has an outwardly extending stem 15, which carries a milled thumb piece 16 by which the gear 15 may be rotatec The frames 10 and 11 are provided with peripheral gear teeth 11, these teeth of the two frames being meshed res ectively with the gears 14 and 15. It wil thus be seen that if the thumb piece 16 be turned clockwise, the gear 15 will be revolved to turn the frame 10 counter clockwise, the gear 14 being similarly revolved. Inward rotation of the gear 14 will result in rotation of the frame 11 clockwise, so that the two frames will thus be rotated in opposite directions to change the angle of the wires 12 with respect to each other. In this way, the angle of intersection of the two wires may be shifted, and the sight thus made fine or coarse as desired.
In Fig. 6 of the drawings, there is shown a modified form of the invention in which a stationary frame A is mounted upon a base B. The frame is stationary, and crossed wires 0 and D are mounted therein. It will be understood that this form of the invention is used in the same manner as the ordinary sight.
What is claimed is:
1. In a gunsight, the combination with crossed wires, of means for moving the wires relatively to change the angle of their intersection.
2. In a gunsight, the combination with oppositely revoluble supporting portions, of crossed wires carried by the supporting portions, said supporting portions being movable to vary the angle of intersection of said wires.
3. In a gunsight, the combination with oppositely revoluble supporting portions, of crossed wires carried separately by the supporting portions, the supporting portions being movable to vary the angle of intersection of the wires, and means for revolving the supporting portions relatively.
4. In a gun sight, the combination with separate revoluble frames, of a wire carried by each frame, said wires being disposed in crossed relation, and means for revolving the frames relatively to vary the angle of the wires.
5. In a gun sight the combination with relatively movable supporting portions, of crossed wires carried separately thereby, the supporting portions being movable tovary the angle of intersection of the Wires, and means for moving the su porting portions in opposite directions simiiitaneously.
6. In a gun sight, the combination with revoluble frames, of a wire carried by eaframe, said Wires being disposed in crossed relation, said frames being provided with peripheral gear teeth, gears meshed with the gear teeth of the frame said gears being in mesh for rotation in opposite direction, and 10 means for rotating the gears.
In testimony whereof I afIiX my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
FRANK L. PUTNEY.
