1, JOHN CARTER, of Bracebridge Street, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick
Action filer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
My Invention relates to revolving firearms which have the lock or firing mechanism
known as Webley's Pistol Mark I, or that known as the Government pattern Enfield
Revolver, or similar systems, and the object of the invention is to prevent the
discharge of the loaded revolver by the haminer being accidentally knocked down
when in the rebounded position.
In "Webley's "I have a lump projecting upon the inside of the lever or pawl
that rotates the cylinder over the front end of the auxiliary main-spring that rebounds
the hammer.
In the "Enfield "I have a sear pivoted to the lower part of the body, the top part
of the sear rests in a bent and along the lower part of the hammer, the lower part of
the sear working inside the guard to rest upon the rear side of the trigger when
the trigger is pulled back so that the hammer is perfectly free to strike the
cartridge.

Figure 1 represents in section a Webley's" pistol mark I embodying my
invention; the hammer being in the rebounded position.
A Being the trigger-a is the sear nose on same.

F The hammer-f Hammer catch.
It will be seen that the auxiliary D is between the lump C and the ledge 6 on the

Cartridge.
Figure 2. represents in section.an." Enfield" pistol embodying, my Invention; the
hammer being locked on the rebounded position..
A Is the sear block-a lower part of same passing through the trigger guard.
B The body upon which the seariis pivoted.
C Bent on lower part of hammer.
D The Trigger.
E The Trigger guard.
The sear block A being in the hent C prevents any forward movement of the
hammer, which cannot therefore be accidentally knocked down, but on pulling the
trigger D until it meets the part a of the sear block A this latter pivots and leaves
the hammer free to strike the cartridge.
I may apply this method of locking the hammer to the "Webley "revolver and to
other systems to which I
may find applicable.
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. The method herein before described and illustrated Figure.1.of the accompanying
Drawing for preventing the discharge of a loaded revolver by the hammer being
accidentally knocked down when in the rebounded position.
2. In a revolving fire arm the lump or safety-block C on the pawl B substantially
as described with reference to Figure 1 of the Drawing for the purpose
specified:
3. The method herein before described and illustrated Figure 2 of the Drawing for
preventing the discharge of a loaded. revolver by the hammer being accidentally
knocked down when in the rebounded position..
4. In a revolving fire arm the sear block A arranged to operate substantially as
herein before described with reference to Figure 2 of the accompanying Drawing for
the purpose specified.
