Upward And Rearward Patents (Class 42/38)
  • Patent number: 7849623
    Abstract: A muzzleloading firearm for engaging a firing pin to discharge a primer includes a trigger plate connected between a front stock and a rear stock, with a central cavity traversing the trigger plate to support a sear and a trigger in mechanical communication with the sear. A hammer assembly is pivotally mounted to the trigger plate to rotate between a cocked position and a resting position, and includes a base extending into the central cavity. The base includes an upper arcuate surface opposite a lower locking surface having a shoulder. A hammer head member is connected to the upper arcuate surface to engage a firing pin. A rolling breechblock is pivotally attached to the plate between a retracted loading position and a firing position, and has a curved upper surface to engage the arcuate surface of the hammer assembly when moving between the loading position and the firing position to force the distal end of the sear to engage shoulder of the base.

  • Patent number: 7353630
    Abstract: A camblock assembly with a camblock and a guide rod is employed in a firearm having a frame constructed of synthetic polymer material. The camblock has a front flange with flange surfaces that engage corresponding bearing surfaces of the frame to distribute forces and energy to the frame during recoil of the firearm. A shelf member is positioned at a front end of the camblock and a coiled flat wire buffer spring is positioned about the guide rod to resist movement of a reciprocating slide. A detent mechanism positioned within the camblock contacts a surface of a slide stop pin to hold the slide stop latch in place. The interior of the slide stop latch contains an elongated wire having an end that engages the frame such that the slide stop latch is biased in a down position.

  • Patent number: 5239766
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a ribbon toy gun equipped with cartridge, loading unit, and trigger assembly particularly designed to permit the toy gun to shoot the ribbon cartridges one at a time. The ribbon toy gun disclosed mainly consists of a gun shell, a trigger assembly, a generally L-shaped loading unit, and a cartridge filled with colored ribbons. The ribbon toy gun according to the present invention is simple in structure, economical in manufacturing cost, and characterized by larger amount of colored ribbon contained in one single cartridge that gives enhanced visual effect after the cartridge is percussed to explode, and therefore, creates more fun and climaxes the festivity.

  • Patent number: 3967402
    Abstract: The disclosed firearm comprises a stationary receiver or frame, a breech ck pivotally mounted at its lower end on the receiver and engaging a forward-facing abutment on the receiver in firing position, a barrel slidably mounted near its forward end on the receiver and pivotally connected at its rear end to the upper end of the breech block. Forward movement of the barrel to open the breech at the rear of the barrel bore during firing is prevented by the pivotal connection and the firing reaction on the breech block. The barrel can be moved forward after firing to move the rear end thereof forward and downward to open the breech. The firearm also includes a barrel latch automatically released by the hammer during firing, an extractor-ejector member actuated by the breech block during the opening of the breech, and a hammer-cocking means also actuated by the opening of the breech.
