IMPLEMENT FOR CAPPlNG AND UNCAPPING CARTRIDGE-SHELLS.
SPECIFIQATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 310,583,6lated January 13, 1885.
Applicatioufiled October 10, 1884. (No model.)
To all, whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE W. HADLEY,
of Chicopee Falls, in the county of Hampdcn and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain newand useful Improvements'in Im plements for Capping and Uncapping GartridgeShells,ofwhich the following is aspecification.
This invention relates to that class ofimplenients used for capping and uncappi'ng cartridge-shells; and the invention consistsin the novel construction and arrangement or combination of parts,'whereby a compactand efficient implement is produced, and which is adapted to be used with various sizes of shells, as hereinafter more fully set forth.
Figure 1 is a side elevation; Fig. 2, a vertical longitudinal section; and Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the implement complete.
Inconstructing my improved device I form the body or frame of a single solid piece of metal, consisting of the bar A, at each end of tridge-shell.
which there is a raised portion or projecting shoulder, B B, as shown .in Figs. 1 and 2, the shoulder B being made a little longer than the one at the opposite end, to give room for a sliding punch or plunger, J, and its spring Z, located therein, as shown in Fig. 2. Both of these shoulders B and B are provided with a central vertical slot, as shown in Fig. 3,in which is pivoted at each end, respectively, a doublefaced cam-plate, a and a, each being provided with a handle, I, for operating them. As shown in Fig. 2, these cams are each provided with a small notch at the center of their faces, in which the ends of the spring-punches rest, and thus hold the cams normally in the position represented in Fig. 2. The faces of these cams are made of the same curvature or de gree of eccentricity on each side of these central notches, so they will move the punches the same whichever way their handles I are moved, up or down. The punch J, mounted in the shoulder B, is made of the proper diameter to bear upon the closed end of the cap or primer and force itinto the pocket or central cavity made for it in the head of the car- A central groove or recess, r, is made in the vertical face of the shoulder B,
as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, for the purpose of so as to permit the cam a at that end to be inserted within the slot, and thus enable-both the cam a and the stud L to be journaled on the same pivot or pin 6, each being free to turn thereon independently of the other. Vfithin this spindleL there is located a sliding punch,
m, the front end of which is reduced in diameter, as shown at n, Fig. 2, so as to enable it to enter the vent-hole in the head of the shell when it is desired to remove an exploded cap or primer. Aspiral spring, t, is arranged to force the punch m backward when released from the pressure of the cam a; The front end of the stud L is also reduced in diameter, and provided with an annular shoulder for the purpose of enabling any one of a series of short tubes, 0, of varying diameters externally, to he slipped thereon, these tubes 0 being made of different sizes to fit the different-sized cartridge-shells, any required number of such tubes 0 being provided with each implement, there being three different sizes shown in connection with Fig. 2.
The implement is used as follows: In case itbe desired to decap a shell that has been fired, the stud L is swung up, as represented in Fig. 1, and the shell slipped thereon,.as indicated in dotted lines, when it is swung down to the position shownin Fig. 2, when by tipping the handle I either up or down the cam a will push the punch at forward, causing the reduced end a to enter the venthole in the headof the shell, and, bearing against the inside of the cap or primer, will push it out of the pocketinto the recess or central space, 1', the head of the shell being firmly supported by the face of the shoulder B on each side of the space 0'.
Then this has been done,the stud Lis swung up and the shell removed.
When it is desired to recap the shell, it has the cap or primer set into the pocket in the head of the shell by hand, either before or after the shell is placed on the stud L, when it is turned downto the position shown in Fig.
2, and theother handle, I, operated, thus projecting the punch J, which, bearing against the outside of the cap or primer, forces it to its seat in the pocket.
Whenever it is necessary to operate on a different size of cartridge, it is only necessary i to put on the corresponding-sized tube 0, so as in, while the fiat end of the sleeve 0 forms a solid support for the head of the shell.
By this construction I am enabled to produce a very simple, compact, and efficient implement for the purpose of decapping and re capping cartridgeshells, and one that is equally well adapted to shells of all sizes. 0
Having thus described 'my invention, What I claim is l v 1. The herein-described implement for capping and uncapping cartridgeshells, consisting of the body A,ha'ving the shoulders or pro- 5 jections B and B, formed integral therewith, the shoulder B having a recess, 1, in its face, with the spring-punch J, and operating-cam a, mounted in said shoulder, and thepivoted stud L, carrying the spring-punch m, and its 4o operating-cam a, being pivoted to the shoulder 13 said parts being arranged to operate substantially as shown and described.
2. In combination with the pivoted stud L,
provided with a shoulder near its free end, the 5v detachable tube 0, arranged to have'its outer end project beyond the end of the stud L, to form a recess 'to receive the inwardly-projecting pocket of the shell and form a firm .support for the head ofthe shell while the cap is 50 being pressed into the pocket thereof, substantially as described, I I GEORGE WASHINGTON HADLEY.
