Definitions

  • Division 1 of the drawings represents a pistol.
  • Division 2 represents Division 1 in four sections, as 1, 2, 3, and 4.
  • Division 3 represents all the parts in Section 1 of Division 2.
  • Division 4 represents all the parts of Section 2 of Division 2.
  • Division 5 represents the mechanical combination of the entireinstrument.
  • Figurelot Division 3 represents the hammer which discharges the percussion-caps. It acts upon a fulcrum at a.
  • b is apin projecting from the hammer, which serves to operate the key that locks the .cylinder when its respective chambers are brought directly opposite the barrel.
  • 0 represents the hole which receives the lower arm of the lifter that tprns the cyl-' inder.
  • V a. represents the part of the hammer where the mainspring acts upon it.
  • c is aprojection by which the hammer is drawn back.
  • Fig. 2 is the mainspring.
  • Fig. 3 is the key that holds the cylinder in its place by the arm a when each chamber is brought opposite the barrel.
  • b is a spring, which is attached to the part c, which has a lateral motion to the right by means of a hinge at d, and serves to allow the pin b in Fig. 1 to pass it.
  • the fulcrum of the key is at e. f is the fulcrum-pin.
  • g is the spring which forces the key into the wards of the cylinder.
  • Fig. 4 is the lifter or hand,with a spring on the left side to allow it to move laterally to the left when acted'on a byeach tooth of the ratchet.
  • a join t which-connects it with the pin 0, which acts in the hole e in Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 5 is the connecting-rod.
  • the end it serves as a catch to the hammer when the lock is set, and when the hammer is pulled back the rod moves forward horizontally in consequence of the ham'mers coming in contact with it, and the end b operates upon the trigger, Fig. 6, at the catch a and throws down the end b, by which means the claw c hooks into the end b of Fig.5, and is held in its place by the spring, Fig. 7, acting upon it at the pin 01.
  • Fig. 8 is the pin which holds in their places the spring,'Fig. 7, at a and the connecting-rod,
  • Fig. 9 is a spring, which holds the rod, Fig. 5, toward the hammer, that the connecting-rod may catch in a notch at the bottom of the hammer to hold it when set.
  • Division 4 is a dissection of Section 2.
  • Fig. 1 is the arbor on which the cylinder revolves.
  • a a are the hearings on which the cylinder rests.
  • b is the slot through which a key enters to connect Section 4 with it.
  • the part0 passes through the shackle, Fig.2, which is keyed to the cylinder, Section3, Fig.1, at the groove (1 by means of the tongue or projections A on the shackle.
  • e is the part which receives the nut, Fig. 3, when it is connected with the shackle, Fig. 4, as seen at a, Section 2 in Division 2.
  • Fig. 5 is the ratchet, which is placed in the middle of the shield at a, and receives the shackle, to which it is connected by the tongue or projection b.
  • the arbor is prevented from turning in the shield by means of a pin or key in the shield,which enters the grooved on the arbor.
  • Fig. 2 Section 3 of Division 2, represents the fore part of the cylinder.
  • b is the hole through which the arher (on which the cylinder revolves) passes.
  • C C, &c. represent the wards to receive the end a of the key, Fig. 3, Division 3, to prevent the cylinder from turning when a charge is brought opposite the barrel.
  • b b, &c., Fig. 1 represent the tubes on which are placed the percussion-caps.
  • Section 4 a represents the hole through which the arbor' passes, and b a mortise for'the key 0 to connect this section
  • d the ball enters the barrel from the chamber.
  • 0 the barrel is lasteued to the plate.
  • At f is a groove in the plate to receive the end a of the lock-plate of Section 1, which serves to steady it.
  • y represents the bayonet hung on a pin at h, i being a catch .to hold it in its place whenit is thrown out.
  • the hammer is hung at the fulcrum a.
  • the key which holds the cylinder G C, &c., are I partitions which, when embracedin theshield,
  • the lift er that when connected with the shackle. ff is the middle and forward part of the shackle on which the ratchet is placed.
  • g is the arbor on which .the cylinder revolves.
  • the endh is the nut that holds the pin in its place when in the shield.
  • i. i represent the forward end of the arbor which passes througli the plate and the rojection on the lower part .of the barrel, and by a key at j it is secured to the barrel.
  • k represents the fulcrum of the trigger.
  • l is the spring which forces the connecting-rodagainst the end of the hammer.
  • m is the spring which forces the key that holds the cylinder.
  • theflpin 1 By drawing back the hammer theflpin 1 operates upon the after end of the key (that locks the cylinder) and rises. Gonsequcntly the other end, 1', is drawn from the cylinder, and the arm d of the lifter commences to act on a tooth, a, on the left side of the ratchet, which, being connected to the cylinder by means of the shackle, turns it until the next chamber is brought opposite to the bar- When thepiu p is relieved fromthe key 1 rel. by passingover its ,npper end, t, the pin allows the end r of the'key to be forced by means I of the spring m into the succeeding ward of,
  • the connecting-rod is drawrs from the catch of the hammer,when the mainspring forces the hammer forward, theupper end of which strikes the percussioncap, during which the lifter, by means of lateral mot-ion to the left, falls below a succeeding tooth on the ratchet, when, by means of the lateral motion of the after end 9 of the key I which holds the cylinder, the pin 12 of the ham mer is permitted to fall below it again.
  • Fig. 1 represents the maiuspring.
  • Fig. 2 represents the maiuspring.
  • Fig. 8 represents all the parts combined.
  • the mainspring (which is'connected to the hammer by the stirrup o) forces its end f forward against the end m of the adopter,the end l of which is brought in contact with the percussion-cap placed upon the tube a, which discharges 'the load. To load, it is only requisite to draw the key j,
