UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CLARENCE J. HAMILTON, HAMILTON & SON,
SIGHT FOR FIREARIVIS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 696,962, datedpril 8, 1902.
Original application filed May 13,1901, Serial No. 59,997. No. 88,886.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, CLARENCE J. HAMIL- TON, acitizen of thel United States, residing at Plymouth,county of Vayne, State of Michigan, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Gun-Sights; and I declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to sight construction; and its object is to provide a combined front sight and muzzle-supporting band and is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a side elevation of the muzzle end of the rifie-barrel- Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view.
My invention relates to that class of rides shown in my application Serial No. 59,997, and this application is a division of the said application.
In the drawings, A represents an inner tube, which I prefer to make ot' brass and ride according to the process in my Patent No. 660,725. The barrel around this inner rifletube is built up of a series of concentric tubes formedfrom sheet metal folded with the seams breaking joints.
B represents a metal strip bent and surrounding the muzzle of the barrel, with its Divided and this application filed January 8, 1902. Serial (No model.)
free ends bent outward and brought together, the two ends standing upright above the barrel, as shown at b, toform the front sight of the ride. The contact-surfaces of these free ends may be brazed.
C is a metal reinforcing-piece provided with an elongated opening to adapt it to be slipped over the upward-extending ends that form the sight. This reinforcing-piece is forced onto the sight and may be brazed to the body of the strip surrounding the barrel. The object of this reinforcing-piece is to hold the ends of the sleeve firmly together, and there by adapt the sleeve to form a strengtheningsupport at the muzzle of the barrel.
Vhat I claim isl. In gun construction, the combination of the barrel and the front sight consisting of a metalloand surrounding the barrel with the lfree ends brought together and upstandin g to form a sight, substantially as described.
2. The combination of thekbarrel and the front sight consisting of the metal bands surrounding` the barrel with its free ends brought together to form the sight in combination with the reinforcing-piece, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I sign this specification in the presence of two witnesses.
CLARENCE J. HAMILTON. I/Vitnesses:
