Shot Pouch.-
Patented Aug. 1, 1854.
lUNrrnn STATES JOHN M. HATIIAWAY,
I PATENT @rrtcn,
OF NEXV YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVEMENT IN SHOT-POUCHES.
To ail whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, J OI-IN M. I-IATILUVAY, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shot-Pouches; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a double shot-pouch constructed after my plan, having one of the tops raised up or removed to show the method of connecting it to the bag. Fig. 2 represents a vertical section taken through the center of one of the tops, and Fig. 3 represents a view of one of the tops from the side directly opposite the thumb-piece.
Similar letters in the several figures denote like parts.
The nature of my invention relates to the construction and arrangement of the devices for securing the barrel to the pouch and for gaging the charges, by which means I simplify, cheapen, and make a more durable pouch, which is susceptible also of'being divided into two or more chambers without having the tops or barrels with their thumb levers orpieces to interfere with each other when removing them to fill the chambers with shot.
.To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, ,1 will proceed to describe the same with reference to the drawings.
The bag or pouch A may be made of leather or any other well-known suitable material, and may be divided into two or more chambers for containing shot of diiferent sizes by means of a division or partition, B, extending from top to bottom thereof.
0 represents the barrels or tubes, which are secured in the orifices of the pouch or chambers. They are slightly conical within the pouch. so as to prevent their being drawn out when properly inserted and secured, and are moreover further secured by a set-screw, a. These tubes or barrels C have heretofore had a screw or thread cut on their inner periphery, into which a male screw on the tops or charges was run to hold the two together. The obj ection to the screws or threads arises from the fact that there must be a considerable number of threads to secure the proper degree of firmness in the connection, and that in taking off.
or putting 011 the tops or charges they must make an entire turn for each thread. Now, by this old method but one top or c-ap'could be used, unless they were removed at some dis tance from each other, or be otherwise inconvenient, because the thumb-lever would strike against the opposite top or charger if made compact and prevent its turning. I avoid the use of the screws and get a more simple fastening as follows: A groove, 1, is cut on the inside of the tube or thimble C a short distance below its top. This forms a flange, b, on top.
From the top of this flange 1) toward and into the groove 1 are cut one, two, three, or more slots or openings, 2 2; also, a square slot, 3. On the bottom of the charger D,Figs. 1, 3, are left projections 4 4, which fit into the slots 2 2, while athumb-eatch, c, slips into the square slot 3. Now, by turning the top or charger a portion of a revolution and letting go the thumb catch 0 the charger and pouch are united. The other top, D, Fig. 1, is similarly connected, and as one may turn to the right and the other to the left, they may be in close proximity to each other, and be removed and replaced when filling the chambers with shot, or for any other purpose, without one interfering in the least with the other.
I am aware that lugs and slots very similar to those I use have been used for hose-couplings and other purposes, but never with the thumb latch for securing the coupling after it is made. I am aware that a thumb-latch as such is not new, and therefore, taken separately and independent of the complete connection, I do not lay any claim to it or to the lugs and slots; but my coupling would not be useful without the thumb latch or catch or its equivalent, because the top would be liable to get loose and be lost. I therefore claim the manner of arranging these several parts and combining them as a whole to be the gist of this part of my invention.
The tops or charges are constructed as follows: D is an outer and d an inner tube, made to snugly fit one within the other, and on the outer one, Fig. 3, is cut the vertical and transverse slots, in which a pin, 5, works for gag ing the charge of shot. The charges may be measured by a scale, as seen in Fig. 3, or may be subdivisions of the quantities indicated, as the adj ustment is not limited to stated amounts, as will be described. On the outer tube, D,
of the cap or top is arranged the lugs e e, in I the upper slide hadto be' unscrewed,'taken which are pivoted or hinged the thumb-levers E. These thumb-levers E arev hollow, and have a rod, f, running down through them, which carries the upper slide, 9, and, as will be seen in Fig. 2, this slide 9 works entirely within the inner tube, cl, so that said inner tube may be slid up or down at anytimewithin the outer one, and yet the slide 9, which is worked from the outside, will not be impededthereby. The top of the thumb-lever is slit, as at t, and a small nut, it, runs over a screw cut on said top and slits, (see Fig. 2,) by which means the rod f and its slide 9 maybe adjustable to any of the charges on the scale or to any intermediate ones. The lower slide, 3, is pivoted to the thumb-lever itself, and its position is a permanent one with regard to thetubes. The lower slide, j, works entirelyin the inner tube, (1, and so that said inner tube may be run up or down without affecting the action of the lower slide. 7c are bent springs for keeping theupper slide closed and the lower one open. Now, by turning down the top of the pouch the shot will run into the chargers, press down the thumb-lever, and thelower slide closes and the upper one opens, and so alternately in measuring and using the charges.
In shot-pouches or powder-flasks of the ordinary construction the numbers of charges which can be measured are limited generally to two, with no intermediate division, because off, and pivoted at another place. These screws become lost or loose, and the pouch or flask was useless. In my pouch there is no part which can become loose or lost. The adjustment is made by running up the nut h, adjusting the rod f and its slide and barrel, and then running it back again. The top neither can become detached unless the thumb-latch, lugs, and slots are all acted on simultaneously. It is for the general arrangement of the parts by which I have perfected the shot-pouch that I lay claim to Letters Patent.
Having thus fully described the nature of my invention, what I claim therein as new, and de sire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l .1. The devices, arranged as described, for securing the top or chargers to the pouchviz., the lugs, slots, and thumb-catch, operating as set forth.
2. The method of gaging the charges by means of the inner and outer tubes or barrels moving one within the other, and the slides g j, working therein and adjustable by means of the hollow thumb-lever E, rod f, and nut 71 substantially in the manner and for the purpose herein set forth.
