Abstract
The disclosure relates to a signal pistol which is furnished with a magazine for storing blank cartridges, which magazine can be transported by means of a transport latch arrangement. There is also disclosed an insert for shooting or firing of the signal rockets, which insert is in the form of a magazine slide, associated with the magazine, and having several bores. Each one of the bores communicates via a pertaining flash hole with a pertaining blank cartridge arranged in the magazine. The longitudinal axes of the bores extend at least substantially vertically or vertically slightly inclined forwardly. There can be provided two or more rows of bores in the magazine slide.
Claims5
A signal rocket for repeated firing of a plurality of signal rockets without reloading the pistol which comprises a handle provided with a base member at its upper end;
- a trigger in said handle;
- a firing pin and a transport latch in said base member;
- a magazine slide adapted to be seated on said base member and to be transported along the longitudinal axis thereof;
- two parallel rows of oppositely positioned bores in said magazine slide extending longitudinally thereof for receiving signal rockets;
- a magazine positioned below said magazine slide provided with a plurality of cartridge seating means equivalent in number to the number of bores in said magazine slide, said plurality of seating means being in a single row extending along the longitudinal axis of said magazine slide with each seating means being connected by an obliquely inclined flash hole to a bore in a row of bores opposite to the row to which the seating means adjacent to it is connected;
- and means associated with said magazine and cooperating with said transport latch whereby said magazine together with said magazine slide can be progressively moved rearwardly along the longitudinal axis of said base member so as to successively bring each cartridge seating means in contact with said firing pin thereby permitting repeated firings of signal rockets from said bores in said magazine slide.
A signal pistol for repeated firing of a plurality of signal rockets without reloading the pistol which comprises a handle provided with a base member at its upper end;
- a trigger in said handle;
- a firing pin and a transport latch in said base member;
- a magazine slide adapted to be seated on said base member and to be transported along the longitudinal axis thereof;
- a plurality of bores in said magazine slide for receiving signal rockets positioned in two parallel rows with their axes essentially vertical to the axis of the magazine slide;
- a guide along the magazine slide between the parallel rows of bores cooperating with a groove in the top of said magazine slide to form a space communicating through lateral openings with said bores;
- a spring in said space, portions of which extend into said lateral openings;
- a magazine associated with said magazine slide provided with means for seating a plurality of cartridges equivalent in number to the number of bores in said magazine slide;
- a flash hole extending from each bore in said magazine slide, each such hole providing communication between its bore and a cartridge in said seating means;
- and means associated with said magazine and cooperating with said transport latch whereby said magazine together with said magazine slide can be progressively moved rearwardly along the longitudinal axis of said base member after the firing of each rocket thereby permitting repeated firings of signal rockets from said bores in said magazine slide.
A signal pistol for repeated firing of a plurality of signal rockets without reloading the pistol which comprises a handle provided with a base member at its upper end;
- a trigger in said handle;
- a firing pin and transport latch in said base member;
- a magazine slide adapted to be seated on said base member and to be transported along the longitudinal axis thereof;
- a plurality of bores in said magazine slide for receiving signal rockets;
- a magazine associated with said magazine slide provided with means for seating a plurality of cartridges equivalent in number to the number of bores in said magazine slide, said magazine being linked by one of its ends to the underside of one end of said magazine slide whereby it can be swung away from said magazine slide when the latter is separated from said base member thereby providing access to said bore holes from the underside of said magazine slide;
- a flash hole extending from each bore in said magazine slide, each such hole providing communication between its bore and a cartridge in said seating means;
- and means associated with said magazine and cooperating with said transport latch whereby said magazine together with said magazine slide can be progressively moved rearwardly along the longitudinal axis of said base member after the firing of each rocket thereby permitting repeated firings of signal rockets from said bores in said magazine slide.
