Abstract: 19,303. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, G. T. Ang. 29. Ordnance breech mechanism. -Relates to firing-mechanism for guns having transverselysliding breech-blocks, and of the kind in which a cam on the breech-actuating crank acts upon a spring-controlled cocking and firing lever carried by the breech-block, and cocks the striker during the opening of the breech. The invention comprises an improved arrangement of the safety-device which is employed to lock the sear until the breech is closed and locked, and also includes devices which return the trigger to the firing position in the event of the gunner continuing to pull the trigger after firing. The safety device is shown in sectional plan in Fig. 2, the parts being in the position in which the breech is closed, but in which the block-actuating crank E has not performed the final locking part of its movement. The sear D is locked in engagement with the projection d' on the cocking and firing lever D<1> by a shoulder C' on a pivoted member C acted upon by the sear spring d<Î>. During the breech - locking movement, the crank E strikes an arm C<2> on the member C and rotates the member sufficiently to release the sear. The trigger actuates the sear through a lever pivoted in the breech of the gun. In one form of the trigger-returning device, a rib on the breech-block, with one end inclined, engages with the lever at the commencement of the breech-opening movement and rocks the lever, and hence the trigger, back into the firing position and retains the parts in that position until the end of the closing movement. In a second form, a sliding member mounted in the breech of the gun is moved backwards to operate the lever by a single-tooth rack-andpinion device operated by the shaft of the breech-actuating crank.
