Definitions
- Figure 1 of the drawings represents a side View of the gun Fig. 2, alongitudinal section through it.
- Fig. 3 shows the internal arrangement of the lock-chamber, &c.
- Fig. 4 shows the spring for confining the handle or arm of,
- Fig. 5 exhibits the groovein the ramrod and the projection on the spring for confining the ramrod when used as abayonet.
- my invention consists in so constructing a gun, which shall load at the breech, by inserting a certain portion of the barrel of the chamber within the other, as that it cannot be discharged without said portion being first inserted, thereby preventing the danger of undue explosion now existing in guns of such description.
- Figs. 1, 3, and 4 represent two plates attached to each other by screws at b, Figs. 1
- a stud (1, Figs. 1 and 3, with anarm, 1), Figs. 1,- 3, and 4, extending from its lower extremity to the front end of the chamber, where it is attached by a joint, 6, Figs. 1, 3, and 5.
- Figs. 1, 2, and 3 represents the hammer, the lower part of which forms the tumbler, at the bottom of which a projection, 9, Figs. 2 and 3, extends back, upon which the mainspring h, Fig. 2, acts in an upward direction and a protector forward, which will be here inafter described.
- Fig. 2 represents the trigger and dog united, and connected to the guard-plate by a pivot in the usual manner, the dog being kept in contact with the tumbler by the upward action of a spring, j, Fig. 2, 011 a projection, 7r, extending forward from the trigger near the pivot inside.
- This spring is also secured to the inside of the guardplate.
- the arm 91, Figs. 2 and 3 has another projection, 2, extending back of the short arm n, and slopes downward in a circular form.
- the projection z and the protector 0, Figs. 2 and 3 are so adjusted that when the arm or handle n is in its upper position, and the chamber in a. true position to discharge, the hammer will come upon the cap and discharge the piece without the protector 0 coming in contact with the short projection a, Fig.
- the bearings or pivots of the eccentric are on a line with the center of the caliber, and the longest radiating point of the eccentric from the axis of rotation being in front and on a line with the center of the caliber when the eccentric and chamber are in a correct positionforthepiece to be discharged, consequently the reaction produced by the explosion within the chamber is directly back upon the eccentric on a line with the longest radiating point from the axis of rotation and its bearings, thereby removing the tendency to move the eccentricin a circular manner.
- a mortise or slot is formed in that part of the chamber equidistant between the sides, which lies back and partly beneath the eccentric, to allow the handle or arm n to connect with and give 1110- In bringing the handle of the eccentric down, it gives the back end of the chamber a downward and backward movement, as shown at Fig. 3, while the arm 1), in preventing the front end from moving directly backward, gives it an oblique upward movement sufficient to receive the charge.
- a spring represented by the red lines, Fig.
- the ramrod 15, Figs. 1, 2, and 5 is made in the form of those in common use, with the exception of the outer end being pointed, the object of which is that it may with ease be made to perform the duties of a bayonet, to effect which a groove, a, Figs. 2 and 5, is made near that end of it which inserts in the stock.
- the groove a is filled on one side by a projection, v, Figs. 2 and 5, on the spring w, Figs. 1, 2, and 5, which holds it firmly in its place, the outer end being guided by a clasp, 0c, in the usual manner, the whole of the foregoing to apply to one or more barrels combined together.
