Abstract
A pump gun having a forend element which is adapted to be reciprocated manually parallel to the barrel of the gun to feed successive rounds of ammunition to a firing location and cock the gun, with a handle connected to the forend element for reciprocation therewith and projecting generally transversely therefrom and therebeyond to facilitate cocking and holding of the gun. The handle may be mounted to swing between positions in which it projects in different directions from the forend element, and be releasably detented in any of those positions. The forend may have an outer surface formed of an elastomeric material for cushioning contact therewith.
Claims13
An assembly for use with a pump gun having a barrel and having a magazine tube extending adjacent said barrel and essentially parallel thereto, said assembly comprising:
- a pump forend adapted to be mounted about said magazine tube for manual reciprocation relative thereto essentially parallel to the barrel between forward and rear positions to prepare the gun for firing;
- said forend having an outer surface to be gripped by a user's hand;
- and
- a handle connected to said forend for reciprocation therewith and projecting generally transversely therefrom beyond said outer surface of the forend;
- said forend including a tubular body to be disposed about and reciprocate relative to said magazine tube and having a shoulder at its rear end and threads at its forward end, an additional tube received about said tubular body, a ring threadedly connected to said threads at the forward end of said body and adapted to clamp said additional tube against said shoulder to secure said additional tube thereto, an essentially annular body of elastomeric material carried about said additional tube and forming said outer surface of the forend for cushioned contact with a user's hand, a detecting ring secured to said additional tube and projecting radially outwardly therefrom, a third ring disposed about said additional tube forwardly of said detenting ring and carrying said handle and adapted to turn about said additional tube between positions in which said handle projects in different directions therefrom, and a spring pressed detenting element carried by one of said detenting and third rings and engageable with different coacting detenting notches in the other of said detenting and third rings to releasably retain said third ring and handle in any of said different positions thereof, said handle having an outer portion of elastomeric material forming a resiliently deformable outer surface engageable with a user's hand to cushion contact therewith.
An assembly for use with a pump gun having a barrel and having a magazine tube extending adjacent said barrel and essentially parallel thereto, said assembly comprising:
- a tubular pump forend member adapted to be mounted about said magazine tube for manual reciprocation relative thereto along an axis and essentially parallel to the barrel between forward and rear positions to prepare the gun for firing, and having a shoulder at its rear end and threads at its forward end;
- an additional tube received about said tubular member;
- a body of elastomeric material carried about said additional tube and having an outer resiliently deformable surface to be gripped by a user's hand;
- a first ring disposed about said tubular member forwardly of said elastomeric body and which is mounted to turn about said axis relative to said tubular member;
- a handle carried by said ring to turn therewith and projecting outwardly away from said axis beyond said outer surface of said elastomeric body;
- and
- a retaining ring connected to said threads at the forward end of said tubular member at a location confining both said additional tube and said first ring axially between said shoulder and said retaining ring and blocking forward removal of said additional tube and first ring from said tubular member.
