Abstract: 17,984. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, G. T..July 29. Machine guns. - Relates to change-fire devices for the firing- mechanism of automatic guns, especially those of the Maxim type, and to the particular devices in which the movement of the trigger is transmitted to the sear through an angularly displaceable slip - pawl, the action of which is controlled by a rotary device which can be set to the single shots,' ` automatic,' or safe ' positions. According to the invention. the rotary device, when heing set to these positions, moves about the same axis as that of an angularly displaceable member which is interposed between the trigger and the sear, and upon which the slip-pawl operates to fire the gun. The firing-rod B<1>, Fig. 6, is actuated from a trigger on the elevating hand-wheel and carries a pawl B which, by engaging with a projection D on a lever D', actuates the sear through an arm e on a spring-controlled spindle E<1>. A change-fire knob C may be withdrawn axially, turned, and by means of a pin C<X> clutched to the boss of the lever D<1> in two positions d<2>, d<3> corresponding to single shots ' and safe' respectively. For single shots,' Fig. 7, the adjustment of the knob brings a cam C<2> into position for causing the pawl B to slip away from the projection D when the lever D<1> is rotated by pulling the trigger. The adjustment of the knob into the position in which the pin C<X> engages the recess d<3> causes a projection C<2> to come against a fixed stop C<3> so as to render the firing-rod incapable of operation. For automatic firing, the knob C is adjusted so that the pin C<x> engages a hole d<XX> in a fixed plate d<X>, as shown in Fig. 6, a face C<3> on the knob then preventing the slipping of the pawl away from the projection D. The gun therefore fires continuously as long as the trigger is pulled. A safety pawl E engages the pawl B and also a recess in the lever D' to prevent firing of the gun during the setting of the knob. A portion of the hinged cover of the mechanism casing may register with a recess c<4> in the circumference of the knob to permit of the cover being opened only when the knob is at safe.'
