Definitions

  • This invention relates toautomatic guns, principally automatic shotuns, in which cartridges are housed in end-to-end relationship in a tubular magazine to which theyare entered at the front end, springmeans being provided between a closure cap 'for. the said front end .of -.the. magazine and the foremost cartridge,
  • a disadvantage of this known device is that, if it is to be carried out on the shooting range, or whilst hunting, etc., it is necessary for the marksman to carry around with him both the tubular extension and the longer spring, and also to take care of the normal spring when it is not in use.
  • the tubular extension carries within itself, in a captive manner, spring means which may re-act between the front of the extension and the foremost end of the normal spring, in such manner that the combined springs are capable of a total extension and compression at least equal to the maximum displacement required for the foremost cartridge.
  • the spring means in the tubular extension will include a piston-like thrust member to lie between the two springs when the device is in position on the'gun, and transmit the thrust of the one spring to the other.
  • the marksman needs to carry around the one element, namely the self-contained attachment; and he does not have to take care of that spring during the time that the extension is in use.
  • the extension will have a permanently closed front end, and at its rear end will have resilient and/or removable means for allowing admission of the spring.
  • the extension will have a removable front end or stopper, in which cases the means at the rear end, for holding the spring Qaptive in the extensiommay be. f a r gid, removable character.
  • vFig. 1 is a send-diagrammatic sectional elevation of therelevant portion of an automatic gun of the :kind referred to with the normal closure capin position.
  • Fig, 2 is a sectional elevation of one example of 'a self-contained magazine extension according to the invention
  • Fig. 3 is a similar view to Fig. 1, with the extension shown in Fig. 2, fitted on to the gun; and
  • Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 2, of another example of the improved magazine extension.
  • Fig. 1 the front end of the tubular magazine, which lies under the gun, is fitted with a screw-0n cap I, between which and the foremost cartridge 3 is the compression spring 2, this spring pushing the cartridges towards the feed mechanism (not shown).
  • the extension 6 has an enlargement at the rear end, screw-threaded internally to screw on to the open end of the magazine in place of the cap I, and has an integral closed end at the front.
  • a compression spring 5 and a flanged disc or piston-like thrust member 6 the spring 5 reacting between the opposed faces of the front end of the extension and the disc.
  • a resilient ring 1 of circular crosssection is seated in an annular groove, of semicircular cross-section, in the inner face of the extension, where the said enlargement begins.
  • the said ring I prevents the spring 5 from escaping out of the extension, and although engaged inside the tubular member 4 (see Fi 2), it can easily be taken out, so as to enable the introduction of the said spring 5 and the disc 6.
  • the tubular member 4 is screwed onto the magazine of the gun (see Fig. 3)
  • the foremost cartridge 3, and the normal spring 2 come partly to occupy the inside of the member 4, thus compressing the spring 5 towards the bottom of the said member 4 by effect of the pressure exerted by the spring 2 on the disc 6.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 may be varied without departing from the scope of the present invention.
  • the elastic ring 1 and the corresponding groove in the extension with an inward projection 8 integral with the wall of the tubular member, equally apt to retain the disc 6 and spring 5 within the tubular member and to allow for the cartridge 3 and spring 2 to extend Within said tubular member.
  • the member 4 will not have a solid outer end but a removablyconnected end 9, so as to allow for introducing the spring 5 and the disc 6 at the outer end of the extension.
