Rifle safety for low caliber .22 cartridges and similar calibers

USPTO Application #: 20070022649
Title: Rifle safety for low caliber .22 cartridges and similar calibers
Abstract: This invention refers to a new safety, incorporated toward the end of the mechanism chamber of a double-shot rifle, located slightly behind the trigger, whose safety has a movement toward the back which occurs automatically upon moving the bolt handle to remove the shell or the cartridge and prepare the rifle, leaving the safety in place for its shot, and where the safety is removed manually upon moving the safety toward the front of the gun when the arm is ready for shooting. The safety is formed by a trigger safety to prevent accidental firing of the weapon and is fit to the combination of a rectangular plate in whose base there is a mechanism release window corresponding to the track of the trigger having in addition some bores in its corners in eyelet form that serve as guides for the course and movement of the trigger safety.

RELATED U.S. APPLICATIONS

[0001] Not applicable.

STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT

[0002] Not applicable.

REFERENCE TO MICROFICHE APPENDIX

[0003] Not applicable.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0004] This invention is used as an article for sports and diversion, particularly for young adult males. In this case, the invention's objectives contribute to preventing all types of chance accidents resulting from improper use of the gun, whether it be accidental due to unfamiliarity with the gun or whether it be due to the inappropriate use of the gun.

[0005] Due to the above, this invention has as its objective the realm of cartridge rifles. Upon activation of the invention, the gun is left in a secure condition; in addition, the invention allows the gun to be changed from a double-shot to a repetition rifle.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0006] As it is widely known, there are many types of safeties for weapons which have been discussed in various patents, citing for example U.S. Pat. Nos. 1,164,646; 1,509,257; 2,729,28; 3,465,741; and 3,839,999; referring briefly to the following considerations.

[0007] 1. U.S. Pat. No. 1,164,646 (Pop Rifle--Heyman and Arden) dated Dec. 21, 1915, publishes a shooting mechanism for a children's sporting cork rifle.

[0008] The mechanism being proposed differs from that patent because in the above-mentioned patent, when the cam is lowered to get ready to shoot, the gun is not locked. The proposed invention includes a latch that is automatically locked when the gun is loaded and which must be released manually.

[0009] 2. U.S. Pat. No. 1,509,257 (Air Gun or Rifle--Randall) dated Feb. 26, 1926, lays claim to a spring mechanism for air rifles.

[0010] Although said invention preceded this proposal, it does not include a safety mechanism to prevent accidental shooting nor does it prevent a shot when the cam is not in place, in which case the user's fingers may be smashed by the cam when the gun is shot.

[0011] 3. U.S. Pat. No. 2,729,208 (Popgun--Gaeke) dated Sep. 11, 1953, protects an air rifle from going off. Its mechanism produces a sound similar to that of a real rifle. Additionally, the cam blocks the shooting mechanism but not the trigger directly.

[0012] 4. U.S. Pat. No. 2,837,865 (Popgun construction--Wells) dated Jun. 10, 1958, publishes a mechanism consisting of a valve through which a blast for toy popguns with corks is produced.

[0013] 5. U.S. Pat. No. 3,465,741 (Popgun with extended barrel for protecting puff of air--Daniel, et al) dated Jun. 15, 1965, refers to a mechanism that produces a blast for a popgun by means of a valve. Therefore, this invention differs appreciably from the proposal. Even though there might be elements that are the same or similar, the arrangement of such is totally different.

[0014] 6. U.S. Pat. No. 3,839,999 (Gun with Safety Member Mounted Therein--Fleming) refers to a lateral safety activated by several tension cams. The invention proposed is different due to the fact that it refers to a button which operates directly without a cam mechanism.

[0015] Apart from the last invention, which has an auxiliary safety, the others do not present any type of safety for the protection of the rifle when it is loaded.

[0016] It has been observed that in some cases, a lack of knowledge of the mechanism of the gun has caused some minor injuries to the users, particularly to their fingers and hands. This is due to excessive confidence and to the curiosity to investigate the results of having the rifle in an other-than-normal position.

[0017] Referring specifically to the cartridge rifle with a reloading lever, the safety is put in place, clasping a part below the trigger; it is removed after the rifle is loaded and ready to shoot.

[0018] It may be said that in agreement with the antecedents and to the best knowledge of the patent-seeker, no other invention close to the proposed one is known. Therefore, the improvements made constitute a new invention.
