Abstract
Abstract A repeating pistol wherein the sear is controlled by the trigger through an intermediate connecting link providing a clearance connection so that an idling motion may be imparted to the trigger before it releases the sear. The path or stroke of the trigger may be readily adjusted both forwardly and rearwardly independently of the adjustment of the pressure to be overcome when triggering. A manually operable lever is provided for lowering the intermediate connecting link so as to thereby disconnect the sear with respect to the trigger.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
226 words
A repeating pistol including a body, a breech block longitudinally movable therein and a grip, comprising the combination of a hammer pivotally secured to a point in the upper rear portion of said body, a coil spring bearing against said body and urging said hammer into its operative position, a sear pivotally secured to said body for engaging said hammer when setting the pistol, a blade spring urging said sear into an operative position, first means for adjusting the tensioning of said blade spring, a trigger, second means for adjusting the length of the stroke of said trigger and the pressure to be applied to it, an intermediate conencting link eccentrically carried by said trigger and controlling said sear, a raised structure at the rear end of said body, and an abutment rod extending longitudinally through said raised structure, the front end of said abutment rod registering with said hammer to limit the stroke of the latter for blank firing purposes, said abutment rod being slidably lodged in a passage provided in said raised structure, said abutment rod having a partial transversal recess in the rear portion thereof, with a spring-urged ball lodged in said transversal recess, said passage having therein at least one lateral recess adapted partly to receive said spring-urged ball to hold said abutment rod longitudinally fast when extended toward said breech block.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
226 words
A repeating pistol including a body, a breech block longitudinally movable therein and a grip, comprising the combination of a hammer pivotally secured to a point in the upper rear portion of said body, a coil spring bearing against said body and urging said hammer into its operative position, a sear pivotally secured to said body for engaging said hammer when setting the pistol, a blade spring urging said sear into an operative position, first means for adjusting the tensioning of said blade spring, a trigger, second means for adjusting the length of the stroke of said trigger and the pressure to be applied to it, an intermediate conencting link eccentrically carried by said trigger and controlling said sear, a raised structure at the rear end of said body, and an abutment rod extending longitudinally through said raised structure, the front end of said abutment rod registering with said hammer to limit the stroke of the latter for blank firing purposes, said abutment rod being slidably lodged in a passage provided in said raised structure, said abutment rod having a partial transversal recess in the rear portion thereof, with a spring-urged ball lodged in said transversal recess, said passage having therein at least one lateral recess adapted partly to receive said spring-urged ball to hold said abutment rod longitudinally fast when extended toward said breech block.
