Abstract: 2569. Whiting, W. J. Sept. 12, 1908. Breech actions, sliding breech-block; safety appliances applicable generally; firing-appliances applicable generally.-Relates to the firing and safety mechanism of automatic small-arms of the type in which the hammer and sear of the firing-mechanism with their springs are mounted in a safety-lever or movable housing arranged at the back of the grip in such a manner that the arm cannot be discharged unless the handle or stock is securely gripped. In the arrangement, shown in the safe position, in Fig. 2, and in the firing position in Fig. 3 as applied to automatic pistols with a fixed barrel, the part of the body behind the magazine has extensions between which is pivoted at e<2> a housing d which carries the sear e and hammer f. A spring h<1> acts upon the extension d' of the housing d and normally retains the housing in such a position that the operating-bar c of the trigger a fails to act upon the part e' of the sear e even when the trigger a is pulled to its full extent. When the handle is gripped for firing, the part e<3> of the sear is moved into a position in which the bar c can act upon it. Additional safety is provided by allowing the part e' to bed firmly upon the main body part of the arm when the handle is not gripped, thus preventing any backward movement of the part to release the sear, and bv forming the breechslide i with a rib i<1> which normally bears upon the sear e and keeps the nose securely in the hammer bent. The housing d may be dovetailed or feathered to the body, as shown in Figs. 12 and 14, instead of being pivoted, so that the sear then slides relatively to the main frame and trigger. In the form shown in Fig. 15, the hammer spring f<1> acts upon plungers f<2>, f<3>, one of which is provided with an extension j<1> to act as a magazine catch by entering a recess in the magazine when the handle is gripped. The magazine catch k<2> and spring k<3> may also be formed separate from the hammer spring, as shown in Fig. 17.
