FIRE ARM.
Specication of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 2, 1.909.
Application led May 26. 1908. Serial No. 435,118.
To all whom 'tt may concern:
Be it known that I, ALBERT J. AUDREY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Meriden, county of New Haven, State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Firearms, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact descri tion.
y invention relates to an improvement in fire arms, and particularly to a safety hammer therefor.
The object of the invention is to provide simple and eHective means for preventing the accidental discharge of the fire arm while the hammer is down.
In the accompan ing drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation o the breech portion of a gun illustratin the various internal parts in one position, Iig. 2 is a similar view illustrating certain internal parts in another position.
1 represents the frame, 2 the forward extension, 3 the rear tang for connecting the stock (not shown).
4 represents the hammer.
5 is the trigger. 6 is a pivot therefor.
7 is a lever ivotally mounted to tilt in the frame 1. he lever 7 is tilted by the trigger 5, a suitable connection being made between said parts so that when the trigger is moved to and fro by the finger, said lever will be tilted for the purpose hereinafter described.
8 represents a safety block carried l) f the lever 7, so that when the latter is tilte the block 8 will be raised and lowered.
9 is a sprin -retracted firin pin, normally repressed, an standin just aove the upper end of the safety bloc 8. The hammer 4 has a recess to receive said safety block 8. In the articular form shown, the safety block 8 1s pivoted at 1U to the forward end of the lever 7 and a spring 11 normally causes said block 8 to swing back until it bears against the hammer 4, as shown in the several views. The hammer 4 is rovided with the usual notch to be engage by the forward end of the trigger 5. When the hammer is cocked this notch is presented adjacent to the end of the trigger 5, which swings into position under the action of the usual spring 12, to engage said hammer in its cocked position. When the trigger 5 is pulled, this act not only frees the hammer,
ut simultaneously therewith lifts the safety block 8 to the elevation shown in Fig. 2, so
that when the hammer 4 springs ahead it will be coupled with the firin pin 9 through the medium of said safety lock S, and force said ring in ahead, as shown in Iiig. 2, the safety bloc( 8 acting as a coupling device. The moment the trigger 5 is released, it assumes the position shown in Fig. l, and while moving to said osition, it again tilts the lever 7, drawing tfie safety block 8 down to the position shown in Iig. 1, and away from the firing pin. The hammer 4 never touches the rin pin, but when advanced bears against the forward reinforce of frame 1, where it is sup orted. In this position, the safety block S is likewise away rom the firing pin. Hence, by no possibility can said firing pin be actuated and the cartridge discharged, so long as4 the hammer is down. If, by accident, a blow should be imparted to the hammer 4 when it is in the position shown in Fig. 1, it is impossible for the force of said blow to be transmitted to said firing pin. Conse uentlv, a gun so constructed may be left Cioaded with perfect impunity.
have not shown the barrel or stock, as such parts will be well understood.
While I have shown the invention in a preferred form, obviously certain changes may be made in arrangement and design without de artin from the spirit of the invention.
Afhat claim is:
1. In a firearm, a hammer, a trigger arranged to cooperate with the hammer, a liring pin, a safety block arranged adjacent to the space between the hammer and firing pin and independent of each, and an intermediate connection between the said block and the trigger to move said safety block at will into said space.
2. In a firearm, a hammer, a trigger arranged to cooperate with the hammer, a firing pin normally s aced apart from said hammer, a safety b ook independent of the hammer, and a connection between the trigger and said block to shift the latter into the space between the hammer and firing pin when the gun is red.
3. In a firearm, a hammer, a trigger arranged to cooperate therewith, a firing pin normally spaced awa from the hammer, a movable safety bloc independent of the hammer and arranged to be shifted into said space and a tilting connecting device between said trigger and safety block for shifting the latter into the space between the hammer and firing pin when the gun is about to be fired.
ing pin spaced away from said hammer at all times, a safety block independent of the hammer and arran ed to be projected into the space between t ie hammer and firing pin when the gun is to be fired, a tri ger eo erating with the hammer to hold it mits eoe ed position and a pivoted lever between the trigger and block, said block and lever being pivotally connected.
5. In a firearm, a hammer, a firing pin always spaced apart therefrom, a safety block independent of the hammer and arranged to be moved into the space between the said hammer and firing pin but normally retracted therefrom, means for simultaneously releasing the hammer from its cocked position and shifting said safety block into t tween said hammer and firing pin.
6. ln a firearm, a hammer, a ring pin a1- ways spaced a art therefrom, a safety bleek independent o the hammer and arranged to e space be- A hammer and firing 4. In a firearm, a hammer, a trigger, a rl traeted therefrom, an
be moved into the space between the said in but normally re means for simultaneously releasing the hammer from its cocked position and shifting said safety block into the spaee between said hammer and liring pin, said means comprising a trigger and lever.
7. In a firearm, a hammer, a firing pin always spaeed apart therefrom, a safety block independent o the hammer and arranged to be moved into the space between the said hammer and firing in but normally retraeted therefrom, ang means for simultaneously releasing the hammer from its cocked position and shifting said safety block into f the space between said hammer and firing pin, said means comprising a trigger and tiltmg lever.
