JOSEPH REBMAN, OF DALLAS, TEXAS.
MAGAZINE-FIREARM.
940,191. Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Nov. 16, 1909.
Application filed June 12, 1909. Serial No. 501,686.To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JoSEPH REBMAN, a
citizen of the United States, residing at 123
Polk street, Dallas, in the county of Dallas
5 and State of Texas, have invented certain
new and useful Improvements in Magazine-
Firearms, of which the following is a speci-
fication.
My invention relates to new and useful
10 improvements in magazine fire arms.
It more particularly relates to that class
of fire-arms in which a loader containing the
charge, ordinarily consisting of fine car-
tridges is introduced into the breech of the
15 gun from above, the cartridges subsequently
being elevated singly into the breech by au-
toniatic means.
The object of the invention is to provide a
magazine fire-arm, the breech-bolt of which
20 will be operated by the left hand, through
the agency of a rod connected to the bolt and
to a sliding hand-piece beneath the barrel,
thus allowing the right hand to be used
solely for operating the trigger and enabling
25 the gun to be fired in more rapid succession.
A further object is to provide a magazine
fire-arm, the breech-bolt of which will be au-
tomatically safety locked against the recoil
of the discharge, and which will be provided
30 with improved means for preventing repeti-
tion.
Finally, the object of my invention is to
provide a device of the character described
that will be strong, durable, simple and effi-
35 cient, and comparatively easy to produce,
also one in which the various parts will not
be likely to get out of working order.
With these and various other objects in
view, my invention has relation to certain
40 novel features of construction and operation,
an example of which is described in the fol-
lowing specification and illustrated in the
accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a vertical, longitudinal, sec-
45 tional elevation of that portion of a maga-
zine gun of the " bolt " type, to which my in-
vention relates, the bolt being shown closed.
Fig. 2 is a cross-section on the line w-x of
Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a broken cross section on
50 the line y-y of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a separate
view of the breech-bolt, showing the ejector
therein at one extremity and the head car-
ried by the firing pin, at the other. Fig. 5
is an end view o' the breech bolt. Fi. 6 is
55 an end view of the loader which holds the
cartridges in the magazine. Fig. 7 is a ver-tical, longitudinal section through the ejector,
and fig. 8 is an end view of the same. fig.
9 is a vertical, longitudinal elevation of the
operating mechanism of the gun in partial 60
section. 111g. 10 is a partial elevation of the
sliding hans-piece showing the connection of
the rod thereto, whereby the breech-bdlt is
actuated. Fig. 11 is a longitudinal elevation
of the half-round rod connecting the sliding 65
hand piece to the breech-bolt and fig. 12 is
an ens view of the same. fig. 13 is a cross
section through the sliding hand piece, on the
line z-Z, showing the means of its support.
lieferring now more particularly to the
drawings, wherein like numerals of refer-
ence designate similar parts in all the fig-
ures,-the numeral 1 denotes a portion of tue
gun stock, and 2 a portion of the barrel of
tue gun, the greater portion of these parts 75
being omitted as non-essential to the inven-
tion. The barrel is screw threaded into the
receiver 3 and secured by the lock-nut 4.
The usual recesses 5, conunon in bolt guns,
are positioned at top and bottom upon tue in- 8
terror of the receiver, just at the rear of the
barrel, being adapted to receive the locking
lugs 6, carried by the breech-bolt 7. The
shoulders 8 prevent the recoil of the breech-
bolt when the lugs 6 are turned into the re- $5
cesses 3 and the gun is discharged. Longi-
tudinal grooves 9 are provided in the inte-
rior of the bolt-housing 10 at each side
thereof, to receive the lugs 6, thus permit-
ting the bolt to be actuated back and forth, 90
and at the same time preventing the bolt
from turning. Upon the rear extremity of
the breech-bolt, is provided a helical groove
11, extending partially around the bolt upon
the exterior surface. This groove is adapt- 95
ed to receive a lug 12 carried at one eX-
tremity of the rod 13. The other extremity
of the rod 13 is attached to the sliding hand-
piece 14, which is provided with inwardly
projecting plates upon its upper edge, adapt- 100
ed to slide upon the gun stock in a manner
common to the art. The lug 12 is connect-
ed to the rod 13 by a neck 16, which slides
in a longitudinal slot 17 upon one side of
the bolt-housing 10. The lug 12 is carried 105
by a curved head 12a which slides in one of
the grooves 9,'preventing the lug being dis-
placed outwardly through the slot 17.
A recess 18 is provided at the extremity
of the helical groove, near the rear end of 110
the bolt, its sides being transverse to the
bolt. When the lug12 is in this recess and
