Description: |
This patent was improved by patent #AI126.
Abstract:
In its practical operation my pistol resembles Colt's pistol in having one barrel with a many-chambered cylinder for loading, each chamber being brought successively in line with the barrel. It also resembles Allen's pistol in having a many-chambered cylinder capable of being revolved and discharged by the action of the trigger; but differing from both of these firearms in important respects forming the matter of my invention.
Claim:
The ratchet-plate with its ratchet-indentations and its slot, in combination with the pin by which it connects with the cylinder, also the two stop-levers below the cylinder to regulate and secure the connection between the chambers of the cylinder and the barrel. |
