Patent number: 4450641Abstract: A magazine floor plate latch for releasing the hinged floor plate of a cartridge magazine in a bolt action firearm. A spring biased latch having two upper legs and one lower leg is positioned in a central aperture in the front face of a trigger guard. The latch is adapted to pivot about a pivot point at a line of contact between a pointed surface in the trigger guard extending upward and fitting into a notch formed in the lower leg of the latch. The latch is normally biased by a spring so that one of its upper legs blocks the floor plate to keep it from swinging open about its hinged end. The floor plate is released by applying pressure on the latch so that it pivots until this upper leg no longer blocks the plate. This upper leg has a curved locking surface with a center of curvature offset from the pivot point to enable the locking surface to relatch the floor plate tightly against the bottom of the magazine as the latch pivots to its normally spring biased position.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 1982Date of Patent: May 29, 1984Assignee: Remington Arms Company, Inc.Inventors: Douglas E.
