tleeival'lsoffthe receiver .while Itang 38l (Fig.
5) supports the rear end of the guard being provided with a screw hole for the screw 4. The trigger lock is a simple flat plate 39 provided with a hook l0 to engage a suitable part of the trigger mechanism, and is Journalled on the hammer pivot between the hammer and the action bar-lock 2O and in the plane of the lateral lug 3l on the lock 20 so that it maybe operated therebyfas later described. Trigger 26 is journalled on pin in the walls 36, 33 and 37 of the trigger' guard and its plunger 61 carrying its spring 62 bears on the rear endof the trigger to force itsforward end 25 upward intothe hammer notch when the hammer 22 is cocked (Fig. 2). It may be noted at this point that this assembly is a simple compact one and that the action bar-lock 2O is firmly emplaced both with respect to the action bar 8 which it controls and with respectto the hammer 22 which governs its position, while the action bar-lock, hammer', trigger mechanism lock andthe trigger-mechanism, are remov able as a unit from the receiver by the release of the trigger guard.
The action barlock 20 is shown in perspective in Fig. 7. The action bar lock I propose to operate by two springs, one for moving it to actionbar-obstructing or firing position, and the other, which is put under tension by the tiring of the gun, for moving it in the other direction against the constant pressure of the first spring, although in so far as the lock cooperates with various other parts such particular operating means are not altogether necessary as will be apparent later. In the gun shown, the first of these springs is marked 29, being iixed to an adjacent wall 37 of the trigger guard pressing .downwardly on the rear end 28 of the lock (Figs. 3 and 5)v so as to raise the forward end toward the path ofthe action bar 8. In the normal use of the gun, this` arm 27 bears against the lower edge of the action bar until the latter has reached the limit of its forward movement when it snaps over the end and takes the position shown in Fig. 2 in which it obstructs rearward movement of the action bar,`that is to say, prevents opening of the breecl The angle of the contacting surfaces of the bar and lock and the direction of the thrust are arranged so that rearward pull on the action handle 7 tends to hold the lock in locking position. The lock is displaced from this position automatically as the result of iiring the gun, and it may also be displaced manually for which purpose its rear end 28 extending through the trigger guard is formed as a thumb piece. The automatic unlocking of the lockf20 is effected by the pressure of the other operatin spring 57, which IV term the presser spring and which is made effective by the act of firing the gun or pulling the trigger. This spring rs located in a recess 52 in the hammer (Fig.
l0) and acts ona small lever or presser 50 which is pivoted on the hammer itself, at 54. The lower end of this lever is adapted to strike the offset lug 3l on lock 2O whenever the hammer strikes the firing pin and thereby either moves (unlocks) the lock 2O or yields thereto according as to whether the end of the action bar is free from, or engaged with, the end of the lock. lIf the lock is unrestrained by the action bar it is immediately unlocked by the act of firing, `and the breech can then be opened, but if the shooter is pulling rearwardly on the action handle at the moment of firing (the usual condition), the end thrust restrains movement of' the action lock and under that condition the lever 50 yields to the lock, but maintains a pressure on it in the direction to unlock it by virtue of its spring 57. Either the tiring recoil or a subsequent forward movement of the action handle by the shooter will serve to disengage the action bar from the lock, and permit the presser 50 by virtue of its spring 57, which has greater tension than spring29, to turn the lock out of the path of the action bar. The presser 50 then holds the lock open while the action bar 25 is moved rearwardly to reload and recock the gun and does not release it until the ham mer ispartially back, see Fig. 6, and the action bar overlies the arm 27, whereupon the said arm bears again on the underside of the action bar ready to snap over'its end when the gun has been loaded and the breech again fully closed (through Fig. 8 to Fig. 2). The slot and pin connection 55 and 56 between the hammer and lower end of presser 50, suitably limits the range of movement vof the presser under the action above described. Through the action of the two springs 29 and 57 `therefore the action bar lock 20 is actuated to its locking position immediately the gun is ready for firing and maintained there until the gun is fired when it is actuated out of this position to allow reloading, and in coaction with the engagement of the bar with the lock above the pivot 2l the unlocking of the bar is kde- .layed sufliciently to permit firing of the cartridge even if the latter somewhat hangs fire. 'Ihe accidental opening of the gun in the midst of firing is therefore prevented. In so far as the hammer serves as the actuator for the bar lock 20, it is apparent that other forms of firing means may be utilized for the same purpose.
The purpose of the trigger lock is .to preventthe pulling of the trigger between the `time the breech-bolt, in reloading, leaves the hammer in cocked position (just prior to Fig. 8) and the time theaction'bar reaches its extreme forward position and comes under the control of the action bar lock (Fig. 2), and also duringsuch time as the action bar lock maybe held inoperative bymeans i i if er deseas; it ams prevents an acciv 4action barflock 2O aenta fai of the `arruinar and ai@ firing ef a cartridge before the breecl'rlbolt yreaches tiring 4position .and l l y v unloadedtafter manual operation of itv` cooper'ates"With't'tiegun` "'rts tHe 'trigger lockmay "assume various ormsanddlspositions "as will appear, but 'for simplicity 'and "compactness, I prefer the construction and assembly shown. /Hook 4'() o'f the plate trigger'lo'ck is adaptedtoswing i'nto'jengaongfement v*with a jlateralpi'ojection at the for# wai-a ena of the trigger 12e a) boia the naar in theVha'inme'r c'ockinj notch, to prevent pa-ning Lof thejtriggerfrigs. a ana e). as
