SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 232,173, dated September 14, 1880.
Application filed January 7, 1880.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it lcnown that I, DANIEL il3RowN,J1:.,ol' the town of Johnston, in the couutyot' lrovt deuce, in the State oi Rhode. Island, have in- Tools for Loading and l-teloading Cartridge-Shells; and I declare the 'i'ollowing to be a specitlcation thereof, reference being had to the ac companying drawings.
Figure 1 isa side elevation of my invention, showing the cartridge-chamber in section, and Fig. 2 is a front-end elevation of the same.
My invention relates to tools for loading and reloading central-ti re cartridge-shells tor rifles;
1 5 and it consists of a combination otsuitable parts in one implement, as hereinafter described, to form. adevice for seating the bullet in the shell, a device for setting the primer, and a device for extracting the exploded cap.
A barrel or cylindrical chamber, A, is permanently fixed upon the handle 13, forming a downward-proiecti n g part thereof. This chamher is bored to such depth and with such diameter as to receive a cartridge-shell of the The handle or lever ll, extending at its o'utcreud beyond the chamber A, terminates in two prong-like projections bent downward, preferably in a direction parallel to the central longitudinal lineof cthe chamber A. These two prongs l'orm the seatU to hold the shell during the (.iperation ol' cappin The handle 1 near its junction with the chamber A, has a semicircular groove, 1), in a transverse direction, and of such size 5 as to receive and support the shell during the extraction ot'the exploded primer. This groove has a downward slant outwardly, and terminates inwardly with a ridge, a, on the opposite side of which there is a sul'noient indentation 40 in the hand e to receive 11nilange ol' the cartridge. The handle or lever l) is pivoted to the handle l}, within a slot of the latter, and has a quarter-revolu-tion on the axis [1, limited by the shoulder c. The handle 1d at its outer 5 end is bent downward, forming at that end the cap-setter 1*. Upon the inner side of the setter i is a lip, (I, which, when the handle l is raised, as indicated by dotted lines in the iigure, serves to hit the shell out ot' theehamher A by coming into contact with the lower edge of a portion of the ilange of the shell and raising it until the shell is free.
A presser, t made on the underside oi. the handle l), to crowd the shell down into the chamber. The presser G is countersunk at c, to prevent the explosion of the cap by undue pressure upon it when the shell isforccd down into the chamber. A spur, ll, having ascrewthread to adjust its length to compensate for wear, is set in the handle i l at a suitable angle to enable it to cutinto and extract the exploded cap.
A iingerguard, I, serves the double purpose of a stop to prevent too close approach of the handles together and the consequent injury of the presser G in contact with the barrel A, and also of a guard to prevent injury of the linger by the spur II in operating the tool.
In the accompanying drawings the position of the shell is shown in dotted lines.
Having described the parts of my invention, I will proceed to describe its uses.
To seat the cap or primer I insert the cap in its place within the primer-pocketot' the shell, and place the shell between the prongs ot' the seat 0, the flange resting against the inner sides thereof. The handle 1' must be slightly raised for this purpose. 1 then press down the handle E, which brings the cap-setter .l forcibly against the head of the cap and crowds it home upon the anvil oi the shell.
To seat the bullet in the shell 1 place the bullet into the. mouth of the shell and insert both, the bullet dowmvard, into the chamber A. As I bringdown thehandle i the presscr (:i crowds the shell down into the chamber and drives the bullet into the shell to the desired distance.
It it is desired to seat a round bail instead of a conical one, I use a plug, 3, which is movable and tits within the chamber A. (his plug iills the bottom of the chamber to such an extent as to furnish a seat for the round ball. This plug has a stem,/', which extends downward through the bottom of the chamher, and is dislodged by the pressure of the linger outside, when it readily falls out through the mouth of the barrel A.
To lift the cartridge out of the chamber I raise the hamlle E into the position indicated by dotted lines, which brings the lip (I. up no Lil der the flange oi the shell and raises it out of the chamber.
reetion in the groove D, the ridge a serving as a rest for the flange of the shell. I bring down the handle E, and cause the spur. H to enter the indentation in the primer made by the hammer in exploding it, and bearin g down I eausethe spur to cut through the cap, and then, by atwist ofthe shell, I draw off the cap from the anvil.
I claim as a novel and useful invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent-- 1. The cartridge capping and nneapping implement herein described, consisting of a zcalfiridgeeholding chamber, 1A, provided at one side with a handle or lever, B, having a groove, 1), and at the other side .with a bifurcated seat, C,'a lever, E, having an angular arm or setter, F, presser G, for seating the cap,
