Leonardo's snap lock. The missing link ?

Fernando K · 6th December 2013, 06:04 PM

Hello, Raf:

The sear (sear) acts on walnut (tumbler) horizontally with two sureties, primary and secondary.

There is also an evolution, which is named key (cock) half "of molinhas fecho" half and key (lock) means "French", with walnut (tumbler) and sear (sear) vertical, and the key to the French spark.

Sincerely .. Fernando K

Continuing the theme of early snap locks with combined steel and pan cover. This Spanish combination weapon has slideing steels and pancover. Royal Armoury, Madrid, C 1580. Any comments ?

Dear Raf:

Yes, of course. This is the key (lock) described by LAVIN, on page 157 of his work. This is a spear with two pistols, listed as I.20 in the Royal Armoury, Madrid. For the description I refer to LAVIN. I think it's one of the first copies to "pin", which is also found in some coils on the keys (lock) wick (matchlock).

An additional fact: I went to the Director of the Royal Armouries, to ask alfuna photography, but I replied that the two keys (lock), had been stolen, and the theft was discovered in 1950, when the last inventory uMake

Affectionately. Fernando

Thanks Fernando . I think I got some of that... I don't suppose you know of any better photos of the lock ? Do you know if the sliding pan cover is attatched to an arm as on a wheelock or something different ? What advantages do you think it might have had (if any ) over a conventional hinged pan and steel ?

Dear Raf

Like I said, I tried to get a picture, straight from the Real Armeria, but the keys (lock) have been stolen.

I think the bowl (pan) is sliding, and no cam, and has at the bottom a device that ensures slip instead. It has, yes, an arm that pushes the bowl (pan) in the closed position which is driven by the weaker arm spring When the foot cat (cock) hits on the rake (Frizen) overcomes the force of the arm driven by the weaker spring branch and open the bowl (pan).

Dear Raf:

I reread. There is no advantage over other system, but is an experimental method, a key (lock) miguelete primitive. Also in primitive wheel keys (wheellock)) the lid cubrecazoleta (COVERPAN) was slippery but not with an articulated cam, but with a fixed cam, and described a circular arc (as in the key (lock) twice MET , which is in this thread.
