IMPROVEMENT IN CARTRIDGE-CAP EXTRACTORS.l
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
To allchom it may c onc'ern:
Be it known that we, JOHN LoGaN-and DANIEL lV. ELDREDGE, both of Boston, in the county of Suiolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented jointly an Apparatus for Removing Exploded Gaps from Gartridge-.Shells; and we do hereby declarev that the following, taken in connection with the drawings which accompany and form part of this specification, is a description of our invention suiicient to enable those skilled in the art to practice it.
lThis invention relates to a hand apparatus for removing' exploded caps from cartridge-shells of that class in each of which there is in the base around the cap-nipple a cavity partially inclosed by an inwardly-- projecting flange, such shells being designed for use with breech-loading guns, and the flange mentioned being designed to retain the exploded caps, so as to prevent them from gett-inginto and clogging the breech or the mechanism bywhich it is opened and closed.
Thile cartridge-shells so constructed answer well the purposes for which they were designed, users of them find some annoyance on account ofthe dilculty with which exploded caps are removed from the flanged cavity, which removal has to be eiiected before the shell can be recapped.
In Figure 1 is shown. a cartridge-shell, on the nipple ot' which a cap has been exploded, the cap in such case heilig in the position and condition indicated at a in said figure, and spreading sol as to be of greater diameter than the opening through ange I).
.In our invention we make use of a tube, the outside diameter of which is such as to enter easily the opening in flange 11, thereby defiecting the expanded parts of the exploded cap and encompassing them, so that, upon withdrawal of said tube, the cap is also withdrawn.
This tube, which is marked c, is so mounted or arranged in a handle, d, that it may be pushed outward therefrom, and may be withdrawn into the handle over a central plug or core, e. l l
. In Figure 2this device is shown in longitudinal sec- -tion, with the tube c protruded and introduced into the cavity in .the shellgsurroundiug thenipple f, and exhibiting the cap as partly compressed from its expanded condition and encompassed by tube c.
In Figure 3 the tube cis represented as drawn back into the handle d, so as to freethe cap, which is shown as falling from the device.
In the handle (l is cut a recess in which a slide, h, is located, said slide heilig connected to the tube c, so
that, by application ot' a slight degree of force to the knob i on the slide, the tube e can be retracted at will.
Figure 4 of the drawing represents a front-end view of the device.
The handle d is made of such diameter as to easily enter the bore of the eartridgelshells, so that it may be used as a rammel' to force wads home in the shells over the charges of powder and shot, so that the device described serves the double purpose of a rammer and of :Leap-extractor.
We claim- A cap-extractor, made with atnbe,c, and a plug, c, combined and arranged substantially as described, so that, by relative movement produced between said parts, a cap received and withdrawn by application ot' the tube, as set forth, will bedischarged therefrom.
