The tumbler and sear work between the lock- plate, I, and the bridle, 4, which is screwed to the lock- plate. The sear-spriny^, 6, constantly presses the end of th" sear ai^ainst the tum- bler. The tumbltT has a journal which i^oes throuj^h the lock-plate, and to a s(|uare shoulder on this journal is secured tiie hammer by a screw, 7. An improvement was made in the above lock in 1S69 by Mr. Stanton, of Wolverhampton, England. I lis lock is known as the rebounding lock, the peculiarity of which is that after the hammer has struck the striking-pin it flics back to half-cock. This is accom- plished by having the upper leg of the mainspring free, and extend- ing it so that it reaches under a projection on the tumbler. This projection falls on the uppctr leg of the mainspring just before the hammer strikes the firing-pin, and the projection of the tumbler thus forces the upper leg of the spring downward so far that the hammer reaches and strikes the firing-pin; but the next instant this portion of the spring throws up the projection on the tumbler, and thus brings the hammer to about one-eighth of an inch above the cap or Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Mayer, Alfred M.
