Definitions
- vThis invention relates to firearms and more particularly to the kind which are provided with atrigger and a guard, for instance a rifle or pistol.
- Fig. 1 is a, perspective View of a safety device according to the invention
- Fig. 2 is a side elevational view of the device shown in Fig. 1 when in position in a rifle.
- Fig. 3 is a cross section along the line 3-'3 of Fig.. 2,
- Fig. i is a view similar to Fig. 2 with the in different positions
- Fig. 5 is a second embodiment of the invention ⁇ applied to a pistol
- Fig. 6' is a perspective view of the safety device shown in Fig. 5,
- Figs. 7 and 8 are views of a third embodiment of the invention shown respectively in inoperative and operative position
- Fig. 9 is a section along the line S--Q of Fig. 8.
- Figs.' '.10 and 11 are views of another embodin parts ment ⁇ of. the invention withthc safety device respeotively in inoperative and operative position
- Figs. 12 and 13 are similar views oi still another embodiment of the invention, l
- Figs. .14 and 15 are views of another embodiment of the invention respectively in inoperative the block I Il is inserted into the gua-rd I2 from j one side thereof.
- the block may consist of plasl tic material, light metal, wood or any other material.
- the block i0 is provided on the side where the recess I6 is provided with a cover 20 which has two ⁇ iiange parts 22 and 24.
- a screw 26 holds the cover 20 in positioncn-:the block I0.
- Thecirculardisc or plate 28 is provided with a handle y30 which is slidably arranged in a horizontal slot 32 .provided in the front part of the cover 20.
- the operation of the safety device is/as follows:
- the plate 28 ⁇ need not be circularrinshape, nor is the sliding arrangement indispensable. lThe plate 28 for instance could be .provided with a recess having about a quarter of its area.
- vcould be turnably larranged vabout itscentre so as to cover the recess l5 in one-position -and to uncover the same in anctherposition.
- the-'plate' is hinged to the block I0 sol that in one position ittcovers the recess I6 and the trigger I8. Inthis case, Ithe cover 29 may be dispensed with.
- r.he safety device may also be adapted to double barreled Shotguns comprising two triggers by increasing the widthof the block 2f!A and the recess I6.
- a cover 46 is provided'which preferably'consists of sheet metal or vother'resilient material.
- the cover 56 comprises two portionsfand covering the guard 44 on both sides, and a'connectingsportion 52.
- the walls 45 and v50' are' provided with dents Fal which cooperate with similar dents'inl the guard 44 so as'to hold said cover in position on the guard.
- this-device maybe provided with means'for blocking the trigger, for instance with leaf springs which.. catch ther trigger from behind.
- I4 is a. stock ,ofra rie from which the guard I2 ⁇ andthe trigger I8 ⁇ orotrude.
- the stock I4 is provided with a recess 6I) above the guard I2.
- a two-walled elementSZ whose shape in its lower part corresponds' toV that of the guard I2 is movableso thatin inoperative positionitris inside ofthe'firecess'as shown' in Fig. '7 whereas inoperative 'position "(Fig. f8) yit covers the trigger I8 on both sides thereof.
- the element 62 is provided with one or two flanges 64, which protrude at right angles to the walls of the element.
- flanges 64 have a two-fold function. They serve as a handle for shifting the element in and out of operative position and secondly, they form stops by abutting against the rifle stock I4 in the uppermost position and against the guard I2 in the lowermost position of the element.
- 66 is a cross member such as a rivet or pin joiningr the two walls of the element 62 and locking the trigger I8 by abutting cooperation with same when the element is in its operative position.
- a bridge 68 joins the walls of the element 62 at their upper edges and is provided with a slot for the trigger and its associate mechanism.
- the element 62 In the position shown in Fig. 7 the element 62 is retracted within the recess 60 ofthe riiie stock
- I4 is again the rifle stock, I2 the guard and I8 the trigger.
- a pocket-shaped cover 60 is pivoted at 82 to the guard.
- the pivot 82 is arranged at the corner of said cover 80 and at one end of the guard I2 preferably behind the trigger I8 so that the cover 80 may be swung into and out of the guard cover position.
- 84 are projections arranged at the corner of the pocket opposite to the pivot F12. They serve for an easy handling of the cover i.
- 88 is a pin or the like arranged in the cover 1&5. at an inclined position so that it comes into cooperative engagement with the lower end of the trigger I8 in the guard covering position oi the cover 80.
- the pin 88 is provided with a head S0 and secured to the rim 02 of the cover.
- 94 is an, opening in the guard I2 through which the pin 88 extends when the cover is brought into operative position.
- the cover 80 is swung to the back as shown in Fig. 10, the rie butt being provided with a suitable recess (not shown) for accommodating the cover B0. If it is intended to secure the rie against accidental discharge the cover 80 is brought into the position shown in Fig. 11 in which it covers the guard I2. In this position the pin 88 locks'the trigger I8 against operation.
- I4 is again the rie stock, I2 the guard and I8 the trigger.
- the guard I2 is slotted over almost its entire length as shown at
- the block I 04 has a shape substantially corresponding to that of the guard, and is provided with a slot
- I $2 is a strip made 'of resilient material such as 'metal which is secured by screws II4 and IIS to the block.
- the free ends of the strip are shaped as end pieces I I8 and
- 32 are knobs 4 for pressing the catches
- 32 are slightly pressed so that the catches
- 04 can then be withdrawn in a. downward direction.
- I4 is again a rifle stock, I2 the guard and I8 the trigger.
- the rifle stock is provided with a recess accommodating a two-walled element
- 40 are joined by a cross member
- 40 are provided with extensions
- 58 is a hole near the upper edge of one of said walls constituting the element UitI which in inoperative position or the element comes into engagement with a hook
- 64 is the other end of the leaf spring protruding through a hole in the rie stock I4 so that it can be pressed downwardly by hand thus releasing the hook
- 40 and knurled at its sides rests in inoperative position of the element in a recess
- a rearm comprising: a trigger, a guard for said trigger, a v.block tting in said guard, said block being provided with a recess for accommodating said trigger, and a plate on said block movable between two end positions, said plate in one end position covering said recess.
- a rearm comprising: a trigger, a guard for said trigger, a block tting in said guard, said blockbeing provided with a recess for arcommodating said trigger, and a sliding plate on said block movable between two end positions, said plate in one end position covering said recess.
