Specification of Reissued Letters Patent. Reissued NOV. 9,191a. 14,009. oo <sub>iql3</sub> serial No 678,284. Application for reissue filed January 26,
Original No. 1,051,791, dated January <sup>28</sup>’ which is provided with a hood g, d recess to 55 receive potion f and a slot to receive shaft Γ- the sighting portion being shown at / and the spring portion at f<sup>5</sup>, the latterbeing connected by screw f to the barrel, and be ing in dovetailed engagement with the bar- 60 rel. In this form the stepped portion engages the barrel itself. Stop /<sup>7</sup> on the hood cno-ics stops./'<sup>1</sup> f on the rotary member.
Incusing my device face 1 of the stepped member would normally engage the under 65 side of the flat spring portion e It the user desires to shoot at an object at a dis tance of say one hundred yards he rotates the stepped member until face 2 enga said portion and if sighting for two hundred 7 yards face 3 is brought rnto such engagement and so on, said distances being given merely as examples as of course, any convenient number of faces may be used for any desired distances, the angle made by ad] a cent faces giving a snap to the spring.portion as it moves from engagement with one face into engagement with an adjacent face.
My invention is especially useful tor hunt- * ers who desire to keep their eyes continually 80 on the game and therefore desire adjusting means which may be operated without lookin» at it, it being clear that the operator can hear the clicl of the engagement between the spring and the stepped member as 85 the latter is^rotated and he can also feel the resistance as the spring portion passes over the several sharp corners between adjacent ^iTthe user should leave the spring in en- 90 gagement with some intermediate face and then when he sees the game forget what the adjustment is he. can rotate the stepped member, until one of its stops engages _ stop on the fixed member and he can. then 95 start the rotation and continue it until the desired adjustment is had and all this without losing sight of the game.
A great advantage of my device is that the rotary member is held firmly against ro- 1 tation by the spring member and can not be turned accidentally so that I make suie that the sight will remain adjusted as ο<sup>6Κ1Γ</sup>θ<sup>(1 </sup>and will not have its adjustment changed by twigs, boughs or the like. . .
Bearing B is to be considered a part of : the firearm in its function of supporting the \ rotary member.
To all whom it may concern
Be it known that 1, Robert γ. <sup>A</sup> ’ , Concord, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a 5 new and useful Sight for Firearms, of which the following is a specification.
The main object of my invention provide means for raising as well as lowerFns the rear sight of a firearm and especially.
XO inCmml fS hunting in cases where dis desirable to adjust the sight without looi.
<sup>1Π</sup>Μν invention consists mainly in means for accomplishing this object. „ <sub>ro</sub>tarv
A feature of my invention is a rotary «Termed member to move the sight· „
In the drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of a portion of a firearm embodying my invention- Fig. 2 is a plan of the same withvention, rig i , <sub>of a mo</sub>dified 20 out the sight, rig. ? is a p modified form· Fig. 4 is an elevation of the nodinea form’ Fig. 5 is an end elevation-of the lonn of Fig. 1 looking from the right; Fig.

B engages stops d d' on handle b to limit 45 the rotary movement of the latter. Spnn<sub>to</sub> sieht member E comprises a sighting portion e and a flat spring portion e , the latter being connected to bearing membei B by no <sup>SC</sup>In<sup>V</sup>Fi»s. 3, 4, 6 and 8 I show another em<sup>50</sup> hodiment of my invention, m which the “n -button/,stops f nnrtiim f<sup>s</sup> are all in one piece. Likewise tne Ipring sight and bearing are in one piece
