IMPRQVEMENT IN'B-REECH-LOADING FlRErARM'S.
S pecication forming part of Letters Iatent No. 146,445, dated January 13, 1874 applicationl tiled October 30; 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, FRANCIS JOHN FUSS, of Baltimore city, State of Maryland, and temporary at Wiesbaden, Germany, and JOHN WECK, ot' Baltimore, Maryland, have invented a new and Improved Breecli-I'ioadin'g Fire- Arm; and we do hereby declare that the followf ing is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming apart of this specification,
` Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical section. Fig. 2 is a side elevation, partly broken ont, and one side plate removed. Fig. 3 is a crosssection in line a a: of Fig. 2.
The invention will first be fully described in connection with all that is necessary -to a full understandin gthereof, andthenclearly pointed out in the claim.
A represents the stock,and B the barrel. C is a breech-block fit-ting under a projection, b, of the barrel, pivoted'in the rear, atl c c, to the side plates a a, and Suppprted upon a subjacent, plate-spring, D. This breech-block is preferably channeled on top to furnish a convenient concavity for the thumb, which is used to press and hold it down against the sprin g D while the new cartridge is being inserted into the chamber b. 1n the breech-block is a slot or perforation, c, through which works the needle E, that is pivoted at e to a sliding rod, F, having the shoulder f. The needle and rod are held forward bv a rear spring, G, while they are drawn back by a slide, H, which is locked-.by a catch, I, held up in front thereof by a spring,"J, and withdrawn downwardly by the trigger K. The slide H,
working against the shoulder j, is thus made to carry the rod F, which, in its turn, takes it back to its former position. In order to furnish .a simple, convenient, .and inexpensive l means of operating the slide H by the same movement of the thumb or hand, I use the vtwo pieces L L, pivoted at the upper end tothe breech-block, and having the lower ends free and preferably curvedl to allwtheln lto slide with as little friction as possible.y These are inclined rearwardly, and restupon the bot tomfof chamber u.' on the inside of stock. By meansof these pieces L L the slide H is moved back at the same time 'that the breechblock is pressed down for the removal of the spent and the -insertion of a new cartridge,
' while the same thumb-power is enabled to re-A move breech-block and needle from the front of cartridge-chamber, and cock the tire-arm.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to Secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination of the firing-pin E F,-1nade in two parts, and hinged together, with the swinging breech-block Gr, having arms L ,L
pivotedi-l'iereto near its front end, the loose ends of said arms L L working against the collar H on the tiring-pin during the depression of ythe breech-block, and thereby cockin g the piece in the act of-opening the breech,`sub stantially as described.
