Description
1913 Lever Action Design Air Rifle. This patent was used in the design of the famous Red Ryder BB Gun.
Excerpt NRA Museum: "Original Daisy rifles were lever-action guns, with the pump action Model 25 joining the Daisy family in 1913. This design, which was invented by Charles Lefever and virtually unchanged since, has been responsible for over 8 million sales. Lefever was a Daisy employee until 1953. During his tenure, he also designed several other Daisy products, including a water pistol and the lever-action Military Model Number 40 with socket-style bayonet. This popular gun, which sold for $5, was introduced during the First World War and contributed to Daisy's first half-million dollar sales year in 1916."

Patents are great for letting you know where society has been and where it is going. Browsing through the Patent Records you find the most interesting things, especially the older records. I enjoy putting in a number and just keep adding ones to see what followed. Since ancient times man has been inventive. Fire, the wheel, methods of building, society itself, all started out as thoughts, some collaborative and others singular. Regardless, patents lead us from the past to the future, from the light bulb to computers and beyond.
If you choose one of my patent creations, rest assured that other than the image, the background, placement, and digital restoration of the original document is performed by me. The images are aesthetically pleasing. They cover a diverse range of subject matter and are excellent interior design works for home or office walls. At the resolution provided Fine Art America, most prints can be made up to 45 X 60 inch sizes.
Thank you for your interest in my work,
Barry
