ANDREV CROV, OF MIDDLEFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS.
IMPROVEMENT IN RIFLE-emilie.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 2S. 160, dated May 8, 1860. A
T0 @ZZ whom it may concern.:
Be it known that I, ANDREW CROW, of Middlefield, in the county of Hampshire and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have invented a new and Improved Ride-Cane; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.
The nature of myinvention consists in providing the end of a walking-stick with a pistol or ride barrel of any desired length, the percussion-cap on which is exploded by means of a piston within the body of the cane, and operated by atmospheric pressure, the Whole being so combined as to form a neat and con. venient walking-stick.
To enable others to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe it in detail, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in Which- Figure l is an external view of the cane complete, drawn t0 a small scale. Fig. 2 is a section of the cane drawn full size, the central portion being represented as broken out to contract it within the limits of the sheet. Fig.
3 is an external View of barrel. Fig. 4 is a ramrod, and Fig. 5 is the piston which explodes the cap.
Like letters of reference indicate corre sponding parts in each of the several figures.
A is the body of the cane, made of wood or other suitable substance, within which is a metallic tube, B, to the upper end of which tube is attached the head of the cane C. To the lower end of this tube is attached a thimble, D.
E is the barrel, which screws into the thimble D, the screw being coarse-threaded, to facilitate the operation of attaching and detach- Ing.
F is the tube for the percussion-cap.
Gr is a piston fitting easily in the tube B.
H is a vent-hole in the side of the cane, and I is a similar hole in the head, each connecting with the interior of the instrument.
K is a ramrod, which can be used in loading,
and then left in the barrel, the pointed head i a serving to protect the end of the barrel.
b b are springs to keep the ramrod in lthe barrel.
The operation is as follows, supposing the cane to be in the condition represented in Fig. 2: First nnscrew the barrel from the body 0f the cane, then draw out the ralnrod K, and load in the usual manner, putting a percussion-cap on the tube F. Now return the barrel to its place and put in the ramrod, and the f instrument is ready for use as a walking stick, the piston G resting at the foot of the tube B, on the top of the cap. Now, supposing it is desirable to discharge the instrument, first take out the ramrod, raise the head of the cane to the mouth, draw in your breath suddenly, and the piston G, yielding to the atmospheric pressure, is drawn to the' head.v Now throw out your breath, and the piston is instantly forced to the other end of the vtube v pistol or rifle barrel when the explosion of the percussion cap or cartridge is effected by at- Y mospheric pressure, substantially in the manner herein set forth.
