JOHN D. WILKINSON, OF PLATTSBURG, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN BRE ECH-LOADING FIRE-ARMS.
Specification forming part oi Letters Patent No. 118,569, dated August 29, 1871.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN D. WILKINSON, of Plattsburg, in the county of Clinton and State of New York, have invented a new and useful improvement in Breech-Loading Fire-Arms and 1 do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanyin g drawing forming part of this specification.
M y invention relates to improvements in breechloading fire-arms; and it consists in a revolving disk at the breech of the barrel on a spindle arranged under the barrel to revolve and slide forwa-rd and backward, and extending a suitable distance behind the disk for being actuated by the hand used for pulling the trigger and cooking the hammer to revolve the disk or opening and closing the breech and discharging the shell, all
as hereinafter described.
. Figure 1'. is longitudinal sectional elevation of the improved gun taken on the lines; m. Fig. 2
is a section on the line 3 y,- and Fig. 3 is a section on the line 2 2.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. i
A isthe disk arranged at the breech of the barrel B on the spindle O, with one side fitting snugly against the breech to revolve back and ibrthabout a half revolution, beiuga little more than twice the diameter of the breech, and the spindle being placed belowthe barrel and parallel with it, so that a radial'cavity, D, in the disk, somewhat l. rger than the hole of the barrel, may
c brought in front of and moved away from said hole to admit of introducing the cartridge when said cavity is in front of it, and to close the barrel for liring when moved away. The disk is supported against the force of the discharge by the walls I-of a cavityin the stock in whichit is {i ted. The spindle has a handle or arm, F, 'at the rear end by which to turn it; also, to draw it backward for actuating the oartiidge-ejector G,-
Which is colmected to the inner endof the spindle by a bar, H, fitted in agroove the stock bewith the end of the barrel.
low the barrel and above the spindle to slide out' and in. The said ejector 0 consists of a segment of a ring, having a recess or groove, a, in the inner edge, in which the rim 1) of the cartridge fits, and the ejector is fitted into a recess in the end of the barrel so that its front face is flush A coiled spring, J, is arranged on the spindle C to throw it and the ejector back after being pulled out to eject the cartridge one end of said spring bearing against the stud of the stock and the other against the part of the bar H connected to the inner end of the spindle. The spindle is fitted in the axial hole of the disk so as to turn it and to slide freely in it. The disk carries a dischargingpin, L, for communicating the blow of the hammer to the cartridge, said pin being so placed that when the disk is adjusted for closing the barrel it will receive the blow-of the hammer upon its outer end when said hammer strikes. The disk has a notch, (I, cut in the outer face, as shown in Fig. 2, to receive the hammerif allowed to strike, when thesaid disk is turned to the position for admitting the cartridge.
It will be seen that this arrangement is very simple and cheap, and that the gun may be manipulated with great rapidity without taking it from the shoulder. After the trigger is pulled the hammer may be raised and the spindle turned without moving the hand away, and when the cartridge'ls applied the spindle and disk may be turned back by the thiunb as the hand is placed in position for firing.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. The combination of the notched disk, strikingpin, and spindle with the hammer and the barrel, substantially as specified.
2. The combination of ejector G with slidingspindle Q, arranged as and for the purpose specified.
