Granted: 1912-10-31
Abstract: 9954. Redfield, E. E. April 26. Breech actions, sliding breech-block.-Relates to non-automatic guns operated by a sliding handle under the barrel, and consists (1) in providing two connexions between the slide bar and the breech-block, namely, a lever connexion for starting, and a direct connexion for continuing, the opening movement, and (2) in providing a latch for locking the slide bar, such latch being released either by hand or automatically by an inertia weight. The invention is shown applied to a compound movement breech-block e of the kind that is unlocked by tilting it downwards. Pivoted to the breechblock e by a pivot pin f<3> is a starting lever f, shown separately in Fig. 10, having a stud f' for engaging a shoulder c<4> on the breech-frame, and a fork f<2> for engagement by a stud k<2> on the action bar k<1>. During the backward movement of the action bar k<1>, the lever f first moves the rear end of the breech-block downwards to clear the locking abutment c<1> and then starts the breech-block backwards by a powerful leverage until a stud k<3> on the action bar engages a shoulder e<2> on the breech-block, after which the breech-block is moved back by the action bar directly. A cocking-arm g is pivoted to the starting-lever. The latch for locking the action bar comprises a pivoted catch lever m which normally engages a lug f<4> on the starting-lever, as shown in Fig. 2. This lever is released by a slide n which is moved forwards on the discharge of the gun by an inertia weight n<2>. The slide can also be manually operated.
