Wine 5 52 $2 MW/rM/ zziawamm JOHN W. KEENE, OF NEWARK, NEWV JERSEY.
IMPROVEMENT IN CARRIERS FOR MAGAZINE FIRE-ARMS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 147,946, dated February 24, 1874; applicatitn filed December 17, 1873.
CASE B.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JOHN W. KEENE, of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improved Carrier for Magazine Fire-Arms; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof, suflicient to enable those skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, making part of this speci lication, and the letters and figures marked thereon.
My invention relates to certain improvements in carriers for magazine fire arms; and it consists in an elbow-lever having a carrier attached to its front end, so that when the front end of the lever is raised by the action of the bolt, lever, or hammer, the carrier is made to assume a position parallel with the axis of the barrel, by the engagement of they front end of the carrier with a depression or projection in the front end of the carrier-well.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents my invention with the carrier depressed. Fig. 2 represents the same with the carrier elevated.
A represents a portion of the guard-plate or other part of the breech of a gun, from which rises a stud or block, b, in which is pivoted an elbow-lever, G, the short arm of which rises in a nearly vertical position, so as to engage with a groove, slot, or depression in the re eiprocating breech pin or bolt. At the front end of the lever is pivoted the carrier 1), which consists of an oblong metallic plate with a concave upper surface, and having on its under side near, near the front end, a lug, by means of which it is attached to the lever. In the front end of the carrier-well is a shoulder or projection, e, and the front end of the carrier is turned outward to form a lip, d, for engagement with said shoulder.
When the bolt is drawn back to open the breech, the front end of the groove, slot, or depression strikes the short arm of the lever and forces it backward, raising the front end to an inclined position. As the lever rises, the lip dis arrested by the shoulder 0, so as to raise the carrier D to a level position, as shown in Fig. 2, and present the cartridge in a direction parallel with the axis of the barrel.
The lever may be provided with a spring or other suitable device for holding it in an elevated position until the cartridge is transferred from the carrier to the chamber of the barrel.
This carrier may hammer or lever gun, gun.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
A carrier for a magazine fire-arm, consisting of an elbow-lever having a carrier-plate connected to its front end in such a manner that when the carrier is raised, it shall be tilted into a position barrel, by contact with a stop on the front wall of the carrier-well, substantially in the manner shown and described.
be readily applied to a as readily as to a bolt- J. W. KEENE.
