PATENT OFFICE.

The invention relates to devices for advancing the cartridges from the Magazine in the piston after the barrel mouthpiece and for inserting the cartridge into the chamber, which function without the use of feathers and attach themselves to all rear-loading rifles can be attached, in which the locking cylinder back and forth by the length of a cartridge is pushed out; in the drawing the device is in connection with a Mauser rifle shown in two ways: the first with fixed and the second with interchangeable Magazine.

In the first construction, FIGS. 1 to 6, the magazine, which lies in the piston, is divided into three chambers by partition walls C ¹ C ² C ³ (FIG. 1 in vertical longitudinal section, FIG. 3 in outline). The width of the same is determined by the diameter of a cartridge; in the walls there are cutouts <e '<' for the bulge of the cartridges. The latter are inserted into the chambers from above after opening the lid shown in FIG. 2 and sink down by their own weight when the lower cartridge is pushed forward by the advance mechanism.

The partitions c ^l c ² c ³ , which are fastened by the pins r , do not go to the bottom of the magazine, but leave enough space at the bottom to allow a cartridge to be pushed through by means of the cartridge feeder (driver) P. The rollers g, which run in the side walls of the magazine, guide the cartridge feeder on which the cartridges lie. The latter consists of a number of pieces joined together like a chain by the hinge pins α a ¹ , which correspond to the number of chambers. Under each partition C ¹ C ¹ C ³ , as well as under the rear wall c of the magazine, there is a nose-like approach SS ¹ S ² S ³ on the individual pieces of the cartridge feeder, against whose rectangular cut surface the cartridge base rests. The foremost end of the feeder forms the fork rail O, Fig. 4, through which each cartridge must pass; The bracket x, which connects the two rails, slides in a section of the lock chamber, so that the entire feeder device has to join the movement of the chamber and only receives its movement from this, without the use of springs of any kind. When the latter is pushed shut, the cartridges lying at the bottom in the individual compartments of the magazine are brought towards the barrel mouthpiece; When the chamber is opened, however, the cartridges remain in the position they had once occupied, because the cartridges in the rearmost compartment have sunk; the feeder, on the other hand, pushes itself under the cartridges with the inclined surfaces of the noses ss ^l etc., lifts them up a little and then slides under the cartridges, which cannot move backwards because of the partitions against which they now stick to its old position (the one shown in the drawing). The cartridges are fed into the barrel in the order indicated by numbers.

The introduction of the foremost cartridge into the chamber is carried out by the lifter.

which consists of the bucket G, the connecting rod R located on the left side of the mechanism and the lever L that can be rotated around the pin. When the chamber is pushed forwards, one of the fork rails from O rests on the longer arm of the lever L and initially presses it downwards, whereby the shorter arm of L rises and lets the connecting lever R swing around its fulcrum q; while the spoon G, which can be rotated about p and is connected to R at q ¹ , is _{guided s} downwards. The cartridge carried along by the feeder P is now pushed by the latter onto the spoon G , which is located between the fork rails O below the bracket χ . The lever L, over which the left rail of O had slipped when the chamber was completely closed (during which time the lever was held down by the rail O lying on it by its angle R ¹ ), no longer influences the position of the lever R. , which is lifted under the shoulder R ² when the chamber is withdrawn by pushing the upper edge of O under, whereby the spoon G also has to rise and now brings the cartridge into the chamber just in front of the barrel muzzle. In the second construction, FIGS. 7 to 16, the fixed magazine has been replaced by an exchangeable one which, filled from above, is pushed into the latter after opening the cover in the shaft, FIG. 8; it has only one or two adjacent sections (see Fig. 14) and is fastened in the piston by the slide α , which is moved by means of the button y. So that the opening necessary for the passage of the cartridge feeder is created in the front wall of the magazine as soon as it is inserted, and yet this opening is closed when the magazine is not in the piston, the device shown in FIGS. 9 and 13 is on the front wall $ ^{3 of} the magazine attached. In front of the latter there is namely a slide b ³ which slides on the shoulder b * by means of a slot. As soon as the lugs bb ^{l of} the slide meet the approach c of the magazine channel when the magazine is inserted, the slide b ³ slides upwards and thus opens the passage for the feeder with the cartridge in the front wall of the magazine. In the case of the magazine construction shown in FIG two sections lie next to each other, the connecting flap of which is only then separated by the weight of the one pressing against it Cartridges in one chamber opens when the other chamber is empty. The projections cc ¹ c ² in the magazine channel replace the correspondingly designated partition walls of the first construction. In addition, the cartridge feeder is made here from only one piece with the noses attached at appropriate intervals. There is also only one rail O on which the shoulder η serving to move the angle lever LR ' is seated (see FIG. 10). The fixed spoon G of the lifting mechanism is fastened to the chamber casing by means of screws after the barrel and extends as far as the first section of the cartridge feed channel in which the feeder slides. At the point of the spoon on which the rear part of the cartridge, which has arrived in the channel-shaped recess, is located, a square cut-out χ in conjunction with a lateral prismatic projection holds the cartridge on its backward movement, the edge sinking into the cut-out. If the chamber is now withdrawn, the projection η causes the angle lever LR ¹ to swing around its axis by striking against the arm L; As a result, the nose R of the longer lever arm R ¹ goes through the cutout χ and lifts the cartridge into the chamber (see Fig. 7). A small curved spring m, Fig. 16, is attached to the chamber sleeve which holds the cartridge raised by R in place When the chamber is closed, the cartridge slides through a special guide ζ into the barrel mouthpiece. If one wishes to use the rifle also under certain circumstances without a repeater mechanism, the spring pin shown in two views in FIG. 6 is attached in the rifle housing. This pin F has a nose F ² and a cutout ^ ³ . If it is turned so that the nose F ^{2 points} downwards, the bow of the piece O cannot get into the incision of the chamber; the latter thus slides over it and lets the repeater mechanism stand still. If, however, the pin F is rotated so that the cut-out F ³ lies above the part O , then the thumb F ⁱ , located at the front of the shaft of the pin and arranged eccentrically to the shaft axis, grips under the on the connecting rod R (in the first construction see Fig . 5) located hook F ' and thus lifts the bracket χ into the cutout of the lock chamber; in the second construction the rail O is raised by the attachment of the spring pin F until its bracket is gripped by the cutout of the lock chamber; in both cases the repetition mechanism comes into effect.
