Definitions
- the present invention relates to firearms and more particularly to special single- action Derringer-like pistols.
- 'ammunition' is used in its broad aspect and denotes lethal and non-lethal rounds, paint balls, signaling and illumination rounds, gas rounds, flachets, etc.
- a Derringer pistol is usually referred to a small handgun with no magazine and no cylinder. It contains one chamber for each barrel, and each chamber must be manually reloaded after discharge. These guns, however, often contain multiple barrels, allowing for more than one shot to be fired before reloading.
- Derringers are small handguns, and are mostly single action pistols.
- a special single-action pistol as meant by the disclosure of this specification is one that does not utilize recoil for cocking and where a single pull of the cocking mechanism serves for cocking and consecutive firing of more then one round of ammunition.
- US Patent 4,625,443 to Beretta Armi SPA discloses a four-barreled pistol which comprises a hammer having a rotating, click- action head for successively acting on firing pins corresponding to the four barrels.
- a tripping mechanism is disclosed which controls the hammer of the pistol to allow either a single-action or double action operation.
- the pistol includes a mechanism for blocking and keeping the hammer in a cocked position when the trigger is at rest and for unblocking it when the trigger has been displaced, and mechanism for displacing the hammer into the cocked position and disengaging it immediately thereafter as a result of the displacement of the trigger.
- US Patent 3,857,322 to Lichtman discloses a pistol adapted to provide selective double action is described.
- the pistol comprises a slide mounted on a frame which houses the barrel and the firing mechanism.
- the firearm can be field-stripped quickly and the low position of the barrel reduces the effect of recoil on firing accuracy.
- the firing mechanism comprises a number of parts disposed in a multi-layered arrangement which reduces the overall size of the pistol.
- a firearm including a frame presenting a fixed face plate at the front, a barrel pivotally mounted on said frame, said barrel normally presenting its breech against said face plate at the front and swingable away from the face plate upon a breaking of the firearm, a hammer mounted on said frame and adapted to be snapped to have impact against the back of said face plate when the barrel is in normal position, said hammer having a firing pin adapted to be projected through the face plate for firing a cartridge in the barrel, actuating means for said hammer and in operative relation thereto when the barrel is in normal position presenting its breech to the face plate, and means carrying said actuating means and subject to a movement of the barrel from its position against the face plate for carrying the actuating means out of its position for snapping the hammer against the face plate when the barrel moves away from the fact plate.
- US Patent Application Publication Serial No. 2002144446 is concerned with a combination of a launcher and at least one disposable container.
- the disposable container contains at least one cylinder loaded with a projectile, propellant, and igniter. It snaps into place into a launcher base.
- the launcher base has a trigger to ignite the propellant igniter, hence, fire the projectile down a cylinder toward a target.
- the launcher base may be concealed in a tool or other device or it can resemble a grip, trigger, and butt of a standard weapon.
- a pistol comprising a body, one or more parallely extending barrel seats for receiving a barrel, a striking pin associated with each barrel and coaxial therewith, a coking mechanism for simultaneously coking all striking pins, a tripping mechanism comprising a common sear for arresting all striking pins at a cocked position and a trigger actuated firing mechanism for selectively and successively propelling a striking pin into striking engagement with a primer of a round.
- the body constitutes a hand grip extending substantially in continuation to a line of line;
- the striking pin is biased by a coiled compression spring or a gas piston charged upon cocking
- the sear comprises a striking pin arresting-surface adapted for arresting a forehead of each respective striking pin, and a gliding surface, wherein the striking pins are formed with a corresponding tapering sliding surface to facilitate axial displacement thereof between a forward, un-cocked position and a rearward, cocked position;
- the sear is pivotally rockable about an axis parallel to the striking pin.
- the sear is displaceable in a plane normal to its surface, between a first position biased into arresting the striking pins and, and a second position wherein the striking pins are axially displaceable;
- the sear is in the form of a rocker pivotal between a tripped position arresting the one or more striking pins at their cocked position and respective firing positions where it selectively disengages from each striking pin, allowing it to propel forward;
- the barrels are detachably connectable to the barrel seats for single-round back- loading
- the pistol comprises two co-planner barrels pivotally secured to the body, said barrels being pivotable between a loading position wherein a rear loading camber is disposed from the barrel seat and exposed to facilitate back-loading - A - thereof, and a firing position where the barrels are each aligned with its respective striking pin and where the chambers are engaged with the respective barrel seats;
- the barrel seat is fitted with a barrel lock for releasably arresting a disposable, ammunition integrated barrel cylinder.
- the barrel lock has a semi circular grip portion for arresting a rimmed portion of the disposable barrel; said barrel lock being pivotable about an axis parallel to an axis of the barrel;
- the coking mechanism comprises a cocking knob associated with one or more cocking rods, each associated with a respective striking pin, wherein pulling the cocking knob entails simultaneous cocking of all the striking pins;
- each cocking rod extends at least partially through and parallel to a respective striking pin, thus preventing rolling displacement of the striking pin
- the firing mechanism comprises a trigger slidingly displaceable between a neutral position and discrete firing positions each associated with a striking pin, and wherein the neutral position extends between the discrete firing positions;
- the trigger is fitted with a safety mechanism for biasing the trigger into its neutral position and further comprising a docking position wherein displacing the trigger from a docking position into neutral position requires first disengaging from the docking position;
- the firing mechanism is formed with one or more obstacles whereby shifting the trigger between the discrete firing positions requires intermediate manipulation of the trigger, to thereby prevent unintentional shifting of the trigger between the discrete firing positions;
- safety catch comprising a barrier for preventing disengagement of the trigger from the docking position.

- Figs. 14A and 14B are isometric views of a pistol according to a modification of the present invention; wherein Fig. 14A illustrates the pistol with the barrels at a loaded/firing position and fig. 14B illustrates the pistol at a loading position, respectively; and
- Fig. 15 is a longitudinal section through a disposable, ammunition integrated barrel cylinder, for use in conjunction with a pistol in accordance with the present invention.
- the pistol in accordance with the present invention generally designated 10 comprises a housing 12 configured as a handgrip having a substantially flat top surface 14 and an undulating finger grip portion 16. At a top surface of the pistol there is a trigger 16 activatable by a shooter's thumb as will be discussed hereinafter in further detail.
- the configuration of the body such that it is sized for gripping with the user's thumb on the top surface 14 with the user's fingers gripping at the finger grip portion 16 such as the shooter's hand web extends essentially parallel to the pistol's barrels 18A and 18B (not shown in Fig. 2; will be discussed hereinafter in further detail) i.e. substantially in alignment with a line of fire.
- the pistol further comprises at its rear end a cocking knob 20 comprising a ring 22 for assisting in a cocking action and for securing the pistol, e.g. by a chain, etc.
- the body 12 is formed with two longitudinally, parallelly extending striker pin bores 32A and 32B extending above one another with two parallelly extending rectangularly sectioned bores 36 A and 36B parallelly extending to said bores 32 A and 32B.
- Each of bores 32 A and 32B slidingly accommodates a striker pin 38A and 38B respectively comprising at a fore-end thereof a static rim-fire firing pin 40 and a longitudinally extending square sectioned groove 42 slidingly accommodating a cocking arm 44, fixedly secured together with guide arms 46 to the cocking knob 20, by means of securing pin 50.
- Each of the striker pins 38 is further associated with a recoil spring 52 bearing at one end within a cylindrical bore formed in the striker pin and at a rear end supported by a spring butt 54 retained at a fixed position within the housing 12 by means of securing pins 58 (seen in Figs. 1 to 6) the arrangement being such that the striker pins 38 A and 38B are formally forwardly biased by means of said coil spring 52.
- coiled springs 52 may be replaced by a rechargeable gas piston (not shown) such that cocking the striker pins namely pulling them backwardly, entails a charging of the gas pistons.
- Fig. 2 exposes also the sear 60, common to both striking pins, said sear being secured to the housing by pin 62 extending through bore 66 formed in the housing (Fig. 2) said pin 62 extending through a shaped aperture 68 formed in the sear 60, whereby the sear is both rockable (pivotally tiltable in two opposite directions) about pin 62 and is also planarly displaceable upwardly and downwardly, though being normally biased downwardly, by means of spring 70 hooked at one end to the aperture 68 of sear 60 and at a lower end thereof being secured to pin 72 secured to the housing, as will be detailed hereinafter with further reference to Figs. 3B, 5B, 6B and 7B.
- a barrel lock 76 is secured to the housing 12 at a specially formed groove 78 and is pivotable within the housing over pin 62.
- Barrel lock 76 comprises two semicircular portions 8OA and 8OB for arresting a disposable, ammunition integrated barrel cylinder 18A and 18B 5 said barrel lock 76 being normally biased into locking arresting of said barrel by means of a plunger 82 biased by spring 84.
- the barrel lock 76 is formed with an actuating lever 88 to facilitate pivotal displacement of the barrel lock 76, as will be discussed hereinafter with particular reference to Figs. 9 and 10.
- a firing mechanism of the pistol comprises the trigger 16 which is slidingly and axially displaceable within a trigger seating 90 formed in the housing 12 (Fig. 2) such that it is slidable between a neutral position (Figs. 3 and 4) and discreet firing positions (Figs. 6A and 7A), said trigger 16 being normally biased into its neutral position by means of a coiled spring 94 mounted over pin 96, said pin 96 being received within a receptacle bore 98 (Fig. 2) with an opposite end 100 of said pin bearing against the trigger 16. Pin 96 inter connects a trigger 16 with sear 60.
- the trigger 16 is formed with a forwardly extending triangular projection 108 which at the neutral position extends opposite a corresponding obstacle bulge 110, which at the normal position extends opposite triangular projection 108, whereby shifting between two discreet firing positions (Fig. 6A and Fig. 7A) requires manipulating the trigger 16 such that the projection 108 thereof overrides the obstacle projection 110.
- the purpose of this arrangement is to prevent or reduce to minimum the likelihood of unintentional displacement of the trigger 16 between firing a first round of ammunition and a second round of ammunition.
- the pistol is illustrated such that it is intended for use in conjunction with disposable, ammunition integrated barrel cylinders 18A and 18B removably securable within corresponding barrel seats (best seen in Fig. 8).
- the barrel cylinder (only lower one designated 18B is illustrated) is in the form of a cylinder integrally fitted with a propelling agent (gun powder) and a ring fire primer (Fig. 14) engageable by the static firing pin 40 of the striker pin extendible through an aperture 124 formed in the barrel seat for striking the rim fire primer.
- the disposable barrel cylinder is formed at its rear with a circumferential groove 132 engageable by a respective portion of a U-like shaped engagement wall 136 formed at the barrel seat 120 whereas the barrel cylinder 18 is secured at the barrel seat 120 by the corresponding semi-circular arm portion 8OA or 8OB (8OA seen in Fig. 8) engaged within the circumferential groove 132 of the barrel cylinder, thus locking it within the barrel seat 120. Removing a fired round is facilitated by displacing the barrel lock by means of lever 88 displaced in the direction of arrow 140 in Fig.
- the pistol After both rounds of ammunition have been fired (or one of them - Yehuda please confirm) the pistol has to be reloaded with fresh disposable ammunition integrated barrel cylinders and this may be carried out only when the safety mechanism is in the safe position, as will be discussed hereinafter.
- the pistol is cocked by pulling the cock knob 20 backwards in the direction of arrow 150 in Fig. 4 possibly by aid of ring 22.
- the front end 45 of the cocking rods 44 engage with a fore end of the striking pins 38A and 38B, retracting them backwardly against the biasing effect of coiled springs 52.
- the sear 60 is forced to displace against the biasing effect of coiled spring 70 whereby camphored gliding surfaces 150 and 152 facilitate smooth retraction of the striking pins 38A and 38B as tapering sliding surfaces 154A and 154B of the striking pins smoothly travel against the gliding surfaces 150 and 152 respectively, as the sear 60 gradually displaces upwardly (arrow 156 in Fig. 3B) until the instance where the striker pins 38A and 38B disengage from the respective gliding surfaces of sear 60 (Fig. 4) whereby the sear 60 is biased downwardly in the direction of arrow 158 into the position illustrated in Figs. 5 A and 5.
- the two striker pins 38A and 38B are arrested at their cocked position (Fig. 5B) and it is appreciated that their forward propelling is possible only upon displacement of the obstacle striking pin arresting surfaces 162A and 162B from their position in which they extend opposite the forehead 160A and 160B of the striker pins 38A and 38B respectively. Such disengagement may be facilitated upon pivoting displacement (tilting) of sear 60 in either direction of arrow 170 (Fig. 6B) so as to allow propelling of striker pin 38A 5 or in the direction of arrow 170 so as to allow propelling of striker pin 38B (Fig. 7B).
- Firing a round however is facilitated by displacement of trigger 16 from its neutral position (Fig. 4) to a forward/decking position i.e. extending forward (Fig. 5A) and then, by using the user's thumb, the trigger 16 is tilted right (Fig. 6A; in the direction of arrow 174) or left (Fig. 7 A; in the direction of arrow 176) entailing corresponding angular displacement of sear 60.
- the sear 60 displaces in a corresponding direction 170 (Fig. 5B) whereby the upper striking pin 38A disengages from the striking pin arresting surface 162A (Fig. 6B), whereby the striker in is propelled forwards into striking engagement of the firing phi 40 with the ring fire primer integrated at the rear of the disposable barrel cylinder 18 A, resulting in turn in ignition of the black powder contained therein and firing the round which may be any type of ammunition e.g. non lethal ammunition such as silicon coated objects, flachettes, signaling flairs, illuminating flares, gas rounds, etc. where the disposable cylinder serves as a barrel which may later be discharged or, in some cases may be reused.
- the barrel may be made for example of plastic material and the like.
- the trigger 16 now has to be displaced in direction of arrow 176 (Fig. 7A) and for that purpose it has to be manipulated in a rear direction into its intermediate, docking position so that the projection 108 overcomes the obstacle projection 110 then allowing the trigger to be fully shifted into its left-most position as in Fig. 7A entailing corresponding displacement of sear 60 in the direction of arrow 172 in Fig. 7B, whereby the striking pin arresting surface 162B now disengages from the forehead 160B of the bottom striking pin 38B allowing its forward propelling (as in Fig. 3A) to fire the lower round of ammunition in the form of a disposable ammunition integrated barrel cylinder 18B.
- the rounds of ammunition may be fired at an opposite sequence, i.e. first the lower round 18B may be fired and thereafter the top round 18A. Furthermore, it is appreciated that the rounds may be fired rapidly after one another and that the interruption created by projections 108 and 110 may be easily overcome by manipulation of the trigger (and, where desired, may be omitted altogether).
- Safety actuator 28 is fixed to a safety rod 190 formed at its upper end with a trigger arresting portion 194 an upper striking pin arresting portion 196 and a lower striking pin arresting portion 196 and a lower striking pin arresting portion 198 and further, there is provided at a lower end of the safety rod 190 there is a barrel lock arresting arm 202 laterally extending from the rod 190 and fixedly secured thereto.
- the arrangement is such that when the safety mechanism is in its firing mode (Fig. 11) the surface 194 extends at a distance from trigger 16 facilitating forward displacement of the trigger into either of its firing positions. At this position the machined sections 196 and 198 are angularly positioned such that the top striking pin and the bottom striking pin 38 A and 38B respectively, may propel forward into their firing position where the firing pin is free to strike the primer of the ammunition. However, upon displacement of the safety knob 28 in the direction of arrow 210 in Fig.
- the safety mechanism is displaced into its safe position whereby the top portion 194 bears against the trigger 16 preventing its shifting into its intermediate, docketing position thus preventing its displacement in any firing position and simultaneously the machine surfaces 196 and 198 extend in the line of displacement of the top striking pin and bottom striking pin 38A and 38B respectively, such that the forehead 160A and 160B of the striking pins 38A and 38B respectively would encounter the respective surfaces 196 and 198 of the safety rod 190 such that further displacement of the striking pins is barred and the respective firing pins 40 are prevented from engaging the primers of the ammunition.
- the barrel lock arm 202 engages the barrel lock 76 and prevents displacement of the barrel lock into the position of Fig. 10, namely position enabling insertion or removal of rounds of ammunition.
- the safety catch mechanism is fitted with a "positive location mechanism" generally designated at 214 comprising a spring 216 fitted at a rear end thereof with a ball (not seen) engageable within one of two depressions formed at a lower end of the safety rod 190 such that the ball engages one of these depressions corresponding with a safe mode and a firing mode, respectively, of the firing pin and to prevent spontaneous displacement of the firing selector.
- a "positive location mechanism” generally designated at 214 comprising a spring 216 fitted at a rear end thereof with a ball (not seen) engageable within one of two depressions formed at a lower end of the safety rod 190 such that the ball engages one of these depressions corresponding with a safe mode and a firing mode, respectively, of the firing pin and to prevent spontaneous displacement of the firing selector.
- a pistol generally designated 230 which is substantially similar to the previous embodiment, though with the exception that the housing 232 has a d downwardly extending hand-grip portion 24 with a cocking knob 236 blending with the top surface 238 and the hand-grip portion
- FIGs. 14A and 14B illustrating a pistol according to a modification of the invention illustrating a pistol generally designated 250 being substantially similar to the previous embodiment however with two barrels 252A and 252B integrated with one another and being pivotally secured to the pistol by a pivot 256 enabling rotation of the barrels between a loaded/firing position (Fig. 14A) wherein the barrels extend opposite their respective barrel seats and in alignment with their respective striking pin, and a loading position (Fig. 14B) wherein a rear end 258 of the barrels is exposed for loading fresh rounds of ammunition (not shown) or withdrawal of fired rounds.
- a rim 262 serves a seat for the round of ammunition. Locking engagement of the barrels at their firing position is facilitated by a lock 264 securely locking the barrels at this position.
- the barrels may be fixed to the pistol body and integrated with the barrel seats, whereby loading fresh rounds of ammunition is so called 'front load', namely a fresh round of ammunition is introduced through a muzzle of the short barrel and is pushed in until it lockingly engages with a round lock (which after firing the round is released, allowing the round to eject, e.g. by biasing means).
- Fig. 15 illustrates a disposable, ammunition integrated barrel cylinder according to another aspect of the present invention, suitable for use with a pistol in conjunction with the embodiment disclosed in connection with Figs. 1 to 13.
- the disposable barrel/round is generally designated 280 and it comprises a housing made of a rigid material such as metal, plastic, etc., comprising at a rear end thereof a circumferential groove 282 for arresting within the barrel seat 120 of the pistol and locking engagement thereof by corresponding locking arm (8OA and 80B) of the barrel lock 76.
- a rim-fire primer 284 extends into the body of the barrel/round with a back face thereof being flush with or depressed with respect to a rear face of the barrel.
- a portion of propelling gunfire 286 is received within a compartment constituted by a thin partition wall of material 288, e.g. made of cardboard, plastic or the like, and a 'bullet' 290 is fitted in front of said partition wall 288, sealed by a thin membrane 294.
- The may be of any type, e.g. lethal and non-lethal rounds, paint balls, signaling and illumination rounds, gas rounds, flachets, etc.
