CUMI LEIE SIMULTICATION.
Combination Revolver and Dagger.
I, ERNST PAUL of Alwinenstrasse, Wiesbaden, in the German Empire,
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
This invention relates to a revolver or like hand fire arm to the handle of which is
fitted a casing or sheath containing a spring dagger or strong knife blade capable
of being sprung out ready for use by a single pressure upon a button or pin.
In the drawing Figs. 1 to are three different views of the dagger or knife blade
by itself. Figs. 4 to 6 are part sectional views respectively in the closed, the
partly open and the full open position of the dagger or knife blade mounted within
a casing to be let into the revolver handle. Figs. 7 and 8 shew the same applied to
a revolver.
a, b, are respectively the front and back end of the dagger or blade. c a shoulder
formed on the same with an eye d. e an eye of similar size at the end b, both
eyes d, e, being connected together by a slot f. g are two flat projections extending
from the shoulder c. the casing containing the blade and the operating
mechanism. It is open at the lower end to allow of the passage of the blade.
i is a shoulder projecting from one side of the casingh so as to come
immediately over the projections g on the blade. k a single, or one of two, spiral
springs held between the shoulders g, i, and always pressing the blade in an
outward direction. is a finger pin or stud pressed at its back enlargement l¹ by a
spring m and taking through eye d to hold the blade in the closed or normal
position (Fig. 4). Upon pressing the pin inwards its enlargement l' is released
from the eye d and the blade sprung outwards sliding by its slot fover pin / until
it arrives in the open position of Fig. 6 in which the enlargement is sprung into
the eye e to hold the blade fixed in the open position until it is returned to the
closed position by pressing it inwards against the resistance of the spring or springs
after the finger pin has been pressed back, the enlargement of this latter then
taking into eye e.
In Fig. 7 n is that part of the revolver handle in which the trigger or hammer
spring is or may be enclosed. Such a spring o is shewn in dotted lines in Fig. 8, and
it is obvious that the formation of a recess in the handle for the reception of the
casing would not interfere in any disturbing way with the fire arm mechanism.
The other side p of the handle may be constructed in any suitable manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A combination revolver and dagger, or knife, in which a strong blade is
mounted in the handle of the revolver in such a way that it may be sprung out by a
mechanism and automatically fixed in the open position, substantially as described
and shewn.
2. The mechanism for the purpose specified comprising a blade a which upon the
release of the vin enlargement from the eve d is by a spring or springs & sprung,

page_text: sliding by a slot fover pin l, into the open position and there fixed by the springing
of the said pin enlargement into the eye e, substantially as described and shewn.
Dated this 27th day of August 1894.
