JOHN MURPHY, OF SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS.

RlNG-EXTRACTOR FOR CARTRIDGES.

SPECIE ICA'IION forming part of Letters Patent BIO/291,619, dated Janna-y 8, 1881. Application filed xovemterio, less. (Xofinodeld :0 6d whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN MURPHY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Springfield, in the county of Hampden and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Bing-Extractors, of which the following is a specification. i

This invention consists of a ring or hand cartridge-extractor having three hooks, two

of them, rigidly connected, being opposite each other and separated by an interval representing the diameter of the head of the i shell, and the third hook arranged upon. the i end of an arm hinged between the rigid hooks, so that it is adapted to be swung into a position to he slid with the other two over the rim of acartridge, and form in effect the ordinary three-hook hand-extractor now in gen eral use; but when the extractor is not required for use, the movable hook is adapted to befolded to leave a flat implement, as

avould in effect he formed by the ordinary extractor were its third hook cut off flush with the ring-handle and opposite hooks, and a tool consequently which can be transported comfortably in any pocket upon the person. This is fully illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which two ways of hin'gingthe inovablchook are shown, and in which drawplane of the rigid ones.

Figure I is a plan view of an open ext actor having the movable hook to swing in the Fig. II is a side elevation of the same; and Fig. III is a plan view of the same with the movable hook folded. Fig. IV is a plan view of an open I extractor, having the movable hook to swing in a plane at right angles to that occupied by the other hooks. Fi V is a plan view of the same with the movable hook folded. Fig.

. VI is a side elevation with the movable hook extended. Fig. VII is the same with the perimeterof a circle resting within the ones C D. The face of the extractor is cut away between the hooks O D to the depth of the swinging hook-arm, to leavea shoulder, (Z, which forms a stop to the hook B when swung out, as seen in Fi I, or when swung out upon hand grasping the extractor, and when closed,

as shown in Fig. III, the extractor from its flat shape takes up but little room, and can be carried conveniently in a vest-pocket.

\Vithout a departure from the spirit of my invention, the hook B may be upon the end of an arm, B, hinged at Z) upon an axis parallel to the face between the hooks O D, to

swing in a plane at right angles to that in which are the hooks O D, and to be extended for use, as shown in Figs. IV, VI, and VIII, or folded out of the way, as seen in Figs. V and VII.

As a convenient way of combining the swing ing hook B with the body of the extractor, a recess, 0, is cut entirely through the extractor at the top of the rin of the width of the hook-arm B. Through the recess 0, from edge to edge of the extractor, and parallel to each other, extend the pins g h. The one 9 forms a hinge-pin to the hook-arm B, and the one it a stop, against which the arm B brings up when thrown open, to assure the hook B being in the same plane with the hooks O D. The arm B is cut away at f to pass over the pin it, to permit the other side of the arm to lie flush with the side of the extractor when folded.

In operation, the arm B with its hook is, from the position shown in. Fig. VII, swung over, as indicated in dotted lines, Fig. VIII, to be stopped in a position to render the extraetoravailable for use.

Now, having described my invention, what I claim is This recess The within-described cartridgeextractor, consisting of 2b convenient handle, two oplnately than the Width of the face between the rigid hooks, as and for the purpose set posite rigidly-connected hooks, and a third forth. hook hinged between the rigid ones, and adapted to swing between them from an operative position to a folded one, to leave an implement of no greater thickness approxi- J OHN MURPHY.
