IMPROVEMENT IN IMPLEMENTS FOR LOADING CARTRIDGES AND SETTING AND EJECTING CARS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 126,962, dated May 21, 1872.
SPECIFICATION.
Be it known that I, HORACE B. HOOKER, of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented certain Improvements in OartridgeLoaders, Cap Setters and Ejectors, of which the following is a specification:
The object of my invention is to provide a simple and convenient implement for loading cartridge-cases, for setting the caps, and for ejecting them after they have been discharged. It consists in the use of a retracting centerpin for ejecting the empty caps, a hollow adjustable or retreating cap-setter, and so constructing and arranging the parts as to combine in one implement a case-loader as well.
Figure l is a longitudinal central section of my invention, showing the parts of the imple ment adjusted for ejecting the caps. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation, showing the parts adjustedfor setting the caps. Fig. 3 is an elevation of the lower end, and shows the capsetting nipple adjusted for loading the cases and its position after receiving the blow for setting a cap. Figs. 1 and 2 represent the casein dotted lines as applied to the implement for ejecting and for setting a cap.
A is the external case. B is the main stock, and is preferably made of wood. 0 is a swiveled head, which may also be of wood. The case A is secured to the stock B by a suitable collar, D. The head is made to receive the short tube 1), threaded internally for a short distance from the inner end, as shown in Fig. 1. The outer end is closed by a suitable cap, as shown. The threaded end of the center bolt a is screwed into the tube 1). The opposite end of the bolt to (or it may be a tube) is bored out to receive a wooden plug, 0, into which is driven the center needle n. The tube (1 is fitted loosely over the bolt a, and is screwed or otherwise secured into the end of the shank of the handle or stock B. In the outer end of this tube at is screwed a hollow center or plunger, 2', through which the needle n is fitted to move freely. The tube (1 is slotted'in one or opposite sides, and a transverse pin, '21, inserted through the bolt or tube a and into such slot or slots. The latter should be made about one-fourth of an inch long, that afl'ording a sutficient protrusion of the needle-' point for ejecting the exploded caps. If a is made tubular the pin 12 will constitute a stop, against which the plug 0 is driven. The cap to is made as shown so as to have a bearing, whether contracted or extended, upon the hol low nipple n, and also at the other end upon the tube d. To facilitate the manufacture the cap may be made in two sections, w and m. It is secured in place by the outer case A, the end of which is slightly contracted. It isheld and its adjustment governed by the threaded collar D. The spiral spring 8 forces the cap w and the tubular case A out as far as the set of the collar will permit.
The operation of ejecting the caps is as follows: The needle nis screwed clear out, as
shown in Fig. 1, and the collar A turned off far enough to allow the cap w to be flush with the end of the needle. The implement is then slipped into the empty cartridge-case; a light blow given to the head 0, to which blow the spring 8 yields; the needle strikes the cap,
through the vent-hole of the anvil in the case,
and drives it out.
To set the caps the needle is entirely retracted and the collar D screwed half-way or more up to the shoulder f, as seen in Fig. 2, but leaving the cap w out from the end of the hollow plunger i about one-eighth of an inch. The cap is placed over the cavity of the case, as shown in Fig. 2 in dotted lines, the implement placed over it, a gentle blow given to the head 0, and the cap is perfectly and thoroughly set.
It will be seen that the construction is such that it becomes self-centering, both for setting the caps and for ejecting them.
When it is to be used for loading cartridges the collar D is screwed up against the shoulder and the needle n entirely retracted.
Instead of the threaded collarD the tube A may be slotted to receive a piif'fixed in the handle shank or stock, such slot to be provid ed with a lateral notch to receive the pin at each extremity, and one or more at such in termediate points as might be necessary to govern the set of the tube A.
Claims. 1. In combination with the handleshank d and plunger 5, I claim the threaded thimble D, whereby the stroke of the plunger and nee: die is regulated, substantially as described.
PATENT "QFFICE.
25 The combination shown of the head G, center bolt g, and needle n, whereby saidneedle may be withdrawn within the plunger, as set forth.
3. In combination with a cartridge-loader, I claim the retracting cap-setter, whereby the implement is made self-centering, when used.
as a cap-setter, substantially a and for the p s set forth. t
