Folding pocket pistol

Abstract

A folding pocket pistol has a frame, a barrel connected to the frame and defining a bore and a chamber and movable between an operating position and a loading position, a bolt connected to the frame and operable to reciprocate between a rearward cocked position and a forward battery position, a trigger connected to the frame and having a lever movable between a forward position and a rearward position, a grip connected to the frame and movable between a closed position abutting the frame, and an open position away from the frame, the grip defining a pocket adapted to receive the trigger lever when the trigger lever is in the forward position, and the grip having a pocket block surface adapted to contact a portion of the trigger lever when the trigger lever is in the rearward position, which prevents the grip moving to the closed position.

1 . A pistol comprising:
 a frame;   a barrel connected to the frame and defining a bore and a chamber and movable between an operating position and a loading position;   a bolt connected to the frame and operable to reciprocate between a rearward cocked position and a forward battery position;   a bolt handle connected to the bolt a trigger connected to the frame and having a lever movable between a forward position and a rearward position;   a grip connected to the frame and movable between a closed position abutting the frame, and an open position away from the frame;   the grip defining a pocket adapted to receive the trigger lever when the trigger lever is in the forward position; and   the grip having a pocket block surface adapted to contact a portion of the trigger lever when the trigger lever is in the rearward position thereby to prevent the grip moving to the closed position when the trigger lever is in the rearward position.   
     
     
         2 . A pistol comprising:
 a frame;   a barrel connected to the frame and defining a bore and a chamber and movable between an operating position and a loading position;   a bolt connected to the frame and operable to reciprocate between a rearward cocked position and a forward battery position;   a trigger connected to the frame and having a lever movable between a forward position and a rearward position;   the trigger having a convex curved rear surface   a grip connected to the frame and movable between a closed position abutting the frame, and an open position away from the frame;   the grip defining a pocket adapted to receive the trigger lever when the trigger lever is in the forward position; and   the grip having a pocket block surface adapted to contact a portion of the trigger lever when the trigger lever is in the rearward position thereby to prevent the grip moving to the closed position when the trigger lever is in the rearward position.
