IMPROVEMENT IN BREECH-LOADING FIRE-ARMS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 1 89,026, dated April 3, 1877; application filed September 28, 1876.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, IRA M. EARLE, of Polla, in the county of Marion, State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Breech-Loading Fire-Arms, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents alongitudinal sectional view of the arm with the breech closed. Fig. 2 is also a longitudinal sectional View of same with the breech opened.
The object of my invention is to secure a fire-arm in which the breech mechanism can only be operated by triggers set within the guard.
In the drawing, F is the metallic housing or frame, into the tubular end of which the barrel is screwed, while the plates clamp the stock, and form, with the shoulder E and the guard G, the walls of the chamber containing the action. The trigger H, its spring '1, and the mainspring D are set in recesses of the wood of the stock. The breech-block A is pivoted in the housing F, and is slotted fo@ the play of the firing-lever B. G is the cook- 'ingtrigger, also pivoted in the housing F.
The firing-lever B is pivoted to the breechblock A and to the trigger O, substantially as K is the firing-spur.
It will be seen from the foregoing that a pull on the trigger O withdraws the spur K from the cartridge and depresses breechblock A till it is caught by the trigger H, thus opening the breech and cooking the piece; and, also, that a pull on trigger H releases the breech-block A, which is thrown up to close the breech by the pressure of spring D on the spur of the trigger O, and that by this movement the spur K is caused to strike the cartridge for the purpose of firing it.
It will also be seen that the breech-block A when closed is braced from the rear by shoulder E, and from beneath by lever B and trigger O, and can only be moved by a pull on said trigger, as before described.
Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The firing-lever B and the trigger C, so pivoted to each other and to the breech-block A that a pull of said trigger withdraws spur K from the cartridge and opens the breech by depressing the breech-block A, substantially as described.
I. M. EARLE.
