ARMENIUS DAVIS, OF SHELBYVILLE, INDIANA.
IMPROVEMENT IN CANE-GUNS.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ARMENIUS DAVIS, of Shelbyville, county of Shelby, and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cane-Guns; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description, viz:
The nature of my invention consists in providing a self-cocking secret lock with the captube, also concealed in the upper end of a cane, so that nothing is to be seen but the fingerhold of the trigger; also, I use a light hollow iron tube for the walking stick or cane, and for a ferrule I have a peculiar metallic handhold for the ramrod, which serves that purpose, as I carry an eXtension-ramrod in the cane-barrel.
To enable others skilled in the art to manufacture and use my invention, I will now proceed to describe the same, both as to construction and operation, and I desire that the accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon shall constitute a part of this description, and in all cases like letters refer to similar parts.
Figure l is an elevated side section of my invention, in which nearly all its working parts are to be seen. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal view of my improved ramrod, and Fig. 3 shows the extension part of this ramrod.
A is the barrel or main body of my cane or walking-stick. It may be made of any length, and the bore of any caliber, although I prefer a large bore, so as not to have the cane too heavy. The barrel may be of steel or iron, and the bore may be smooth or rifled. This barrel screws fast to B, its breech, or the canehandle, which may be crooked with a gradual curve, so as to render the disguise complete.
0 is the trigger-handle, and this actuates the trigger-bar D. This trigger-bar has a small projection on its upper side, a, which actuates the straight horizontal hammer-bar F. The trigger is held close in the curve of B by the steel spring E, and when the trigger is pushed down toward the barrel (so as to engage with hammer F) this spring aids in pulling the hammer back.
G is the niainspring, which drives the hammer F. In hammer F a small click, b, actuated by a hair-spring, c, is adjusted at the right point to engage with the inclined projection a, so as to draw the hammer back.
By close observation it will be seen that the trigger-bar D and the hammer-bar F are set at an incline one to the other, converging at their front ends. Now, when. the finger is placed into the ring 0 and the bar D is pushed forward, the little projection a passes under the click I), (the click b rising up to allow its passage,) and the spring 0 forces the click down in the rear of said projection or catch. Now it (the trigger) is pulled back until this catch and the click are separated by the divergence of their respective bars, when the.
hammer F is disengaged, and is thrown by mainspring G against tube cl with ample force to break the cap and discharge the load. There is a hinge, which is held by a slide-pin, that covers over the tube (1, by simply raising which a cap can be placed on said tube at pleasure. friction-rollers at the points where most pressure is had.
H is the ferrule of the cane, and is likewise the handle for the ramrod I. This ferrule is fastened onto the muzzle end of the cane by the pin i, which works in an inclined spiral slot.
J, Fig. 2, shows the extension-rod, Fig. 3,
drawn ,out to its utmost. e is the ramminghead of this extension-rod, while f is the pin that holds it out as seen in the groove at f, Fig. 2. any reasonable length by simply deepening the hole for its play in the end of the ramrod I and lengthening the slot for pin f to correspond. An offsetis made in this slot at its end nearest the end of the ramrod, into which the pin f is turned when the extension, Fig.
3, is drawn out.
The advantage of this extension consists in, first, the ability of carrying your loadingstick always with you, and out of sight, and second, in the readiness with which you can always lengthen your stickwithout the usual cumbrous screw-joint, &c.
Having thus fully described my invention and its mode of operation, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,
1s The arrangement and combination of straight percussion-bar F and trigger-bar D,
'when these are made with their various peculiarities, as shown, and operated as de scribed.
