.EL G. PARKHURST. Y Cartridge Feed Cese for Machine Guns.
co., PHoToLn'Ho, wAsmN UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
EDWARD G. PARKHURST, OF HARTFORD, CONN., ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND THE PRATTSU WHITNEY COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.
CARTRIDGE-FEED CASE FOR MACHINE-GUNS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 229,007, dated June 22. 1880.
Application filed March 15, 1880. (No model.)
To all whom it may coacerm' Be it known that I, EDWARD G. PART@ BURST, of Hartford, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mechanism for Feeding Cartridges to Machine-Guns; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, whereby a person skilled in the art can makev and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
Lilie letters in the figures indicate the same parts.
My invention relates to improvements in the construction of the boxes in which the cartrid ges for machine-guns are placed and transported, and in the receiving guide or hopper in which they are placed, and by which they are carried to the lock and loading mechanism, whereby the placing of the cartridges in the gun is more rapidly and eiectually accomplished.
The object oi' my invention is to save time and trouble in transferring the cartridges from the ammunition-cases to the gun when the arm is in use, and to placethem with such accuracy oi' position in' the gun that they will be sure to be properly fired.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side view of one of my improved cartridgecases in the position of placing the cartridges in the receiver of the4 gun, the receiver being shown in section. Fig. 2 is a top or end View oi' the improved cartridge case and receiver in the position shown in Fi g. l. Fig. 3 is afront view of the receiver'.
A is a block, commonly of wood, bored full of holes for the reception of the cartridges upon one side, into which the cartridges are inserted ball foremost, so as to leave the heads nearly in the same plane.
B is a cover, made of tin-plate or other sheet metal, bent into the form shown in Fig. 2. It has twolongitudinal dan ges, B', which enter into longitudinal grooves A in the block A,
so that the cover slides on lengthwise and isl held in position by the flanges. This cover holds the cartridges in the block and prevents their falling out in transportation.
D is the receiver. It is intended to be attached to and form part of the gun and to be held rmlyin position upon it, and is provided with channels E, leading directly to the chambers, from which the cartridge is pushed into the barrel by the lock mechanism. The channels E are constructed so as to hold the cartridges by the heads, the front of the channel being just of sufcient width to receive the body of the cartridge-shell and enlarged at the rear to form a groove for the projecting heads.
D D are daring sides above the channels E, intended to guide the cover B toits proper seat on the receiver. They may be extended upward to any distance required to easily and quickly enter the cover of the cartridge-case between thm and pass it down to its seat upon the top of the parts E', forming the sides of the channels. The back oi' D in the plane of the bottom of the channels is continued upward to the height of the daring sides D or a littleabove them.
The operation of myinvention is as follows: The case A B, with the cartridges contained within it, is taken in the hand, and the lower end oi' the cover placed against the back of the receiver D. The case is then passed downward uutilthe cover is guided by the sides D D to its proper scat. The block A then continues to move downward with the contained cartridges, whiclr pass into the channels E, the cover being retained in its seat upon the top of the channels. When the block passes below the cover al1 the cartridges are entered in the channels and the cover falls oli'. The cartridges are thus placed in the gun at one motion of the hand, carrying the block downward.
What I claim as my invention is- 1. The receiver D, provided with flaring sides and seat at the top of the channels for guiding and holding the coverB, 'substantially as described.
2. The combination of a sliding top cartridge-case with a receiver provided with a seat for the cover of said case and with channels for the heads of the cartridges, substantially as described.'
EDWARD Gr. PARKHURST.
