EDGAR D. SEELY, OF BROOKLINE,'ASSIGNOR TO I-IIMSELF, GEO. A. PHILLIPS, OF DORCHESTER, AND THOS. F. WELLS, OF ROXBURY, MASS.
IMPROVEMENT IN GUN- CAPPING I NIPLEIVIENTS.
v Specilicntion forming pari (if-Letters Patent l\`o. 33.632,6, dated October 19, lSl.
fo a/ZZ zal/1.071?, it 'nfl/fry concern.-
Be it known that I, EDGAR D. Snnnv, of Brookline, in the-county of Norfolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gun-Cappers; and I do hereby decla-re that the following, taken in connection with the drawings which accompany and form part of this speciiication, is a description of my said invention so full and exact as to enable those skilled in the art to practice it.
Figure 1 is a side view ofthe instrument embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a cross-section of the same. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view, the section being taken in the line w Figs. 1 land 2. Fig. 4 is a plan of the whole instrument, and Fig. 5 a side View of the cap-receiver removed from the outer casing.
My invention relates to improvements in an instrument called a gun-capper,7 the design ot' which instrument is to facilitate the operation of capping a gun by having the caps arranged so as to be successively presented in a proper manner and conveniently for applying them to the gun-nipple, thereby avoiding the loss of time and other inconveniences attendant upon carrying the caps in a pouch or in a pocket, caused by having to search for and handle each cap separately. A 'capper has been made in the form of a disk with a circular channel therein for the reception of caps, which by the action of a scrollspring were forced successively to a delivery-mouth piece. This instrument has certain defects which it is the intent of my invention to obviate. Its shape is such that it can onlybe used with guns where the cone or nipple is very prominent, which is not the case with many of the guns and pistols now in use, and the form of the instrument made it requisite to search for the delivery-mouth, and to make use of the eyesight in applying the cap. In my invention the form of the instrument is such that when it is suspended, as intended, the delivery will always be at the extreme lowest point. The iorm'given is such that it is taken in the hand, in the manner of a common pencil; and it can be used to place 'caps even in placeswhere it 1s a difficult operation for fingers, and by the guide which forms part of my invention the employment of the eyesight in using the guncapper maybe entirely superseded by the sense of feeling, so that a gun may be capped as Well in the night as in the day, or when the sight is necessarily kept upon the object against which the gun is to be used. The case .a is of metal, and is quite long as compared with its cross-section, which is quadrangular. The cap-receptacle c' is formed of metal, and is a three-sided trough, which may be slipped into and retained in the tube, like forniation of the case, which has one end iilled with a piece through which the eyebolt-sc'rew cl passes into the end piece of the cap-receiver c. At the other end the cap-receiver projects beyond the end of the case, and its sides are formed into spring-nippers to retain and to deliver each cap.J These nippers are formed by shaping the sidesof c as shown in the drawings,and by separating them from the bottom, back from the end, about three-fourths of an inch. The side b of the case extends beyond its other three sides and terminates in a reverse curve, leaving only room enough between it and the projecting end of the cap-receiver to permit the nipple of the gun to enter the cap held in the nipper end of c. A follower, e, is tted so as to slide freely in c, and is made long enough, as shown, to prevent any binding in its movement. In the end oi' c, nearest the eyebolt-screw d a spring, a, of rubber or elastic cord,is fixed, and from thence passes over astop or pulley, o, connected to c, near. its nipper end, and from thence it passes along the length of c to the other end, y
to which it is secured. The case a is made enough larger inside than the outside of c to accommodate the spring n. In this arrangement of the spring it will be seen -that its length before it is extended is nearly that of the case, so that-when cis filled with caps the spring is extended rather less than its normal length, That a spring operating by contraction should be as long as possible is well known, and it will be seen that in the manner of employing the spring n. to operate the follower I have secured length and consequent durability in avery compact form. Flanges, as shown, are secured to b, making thereon a 'kind of shallow trough, which serves the double purpose of indicating to the ngers the de- .its place in the case and held there by d,which may also serve as a convenient means for suspending the instrument. rlhe base-plate of c should be made stout at the nippel' end, as it is that which receives the strain necessary to force the cap home upon the nipple. per-springs should be sufficient to resist the tendency of the spring n to open them by forcing the caps through, which should be accomplished o nly by the pull upon the capper by the gunner when the nipple is in one of the caps. The cap presented for immediate use in the nippers is prevented from falling therefrom by the'spring-hold which they'haveof the cap, and by the plate b projecting alittle over the mouth 'of the cap, which is not objectionable, inasmuch asgun-nipples taper a little. Means The nipfor regulating the relative positions of the concave end ofrb 4and the nippersare found ir placing a stop-screw in the other end of c.
Having described my invention, what l claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is*
l. Constructing a gun-capper substantially in the form described, whereby it is made more convenient in use and more universally applicable than the disk shape used heretofore.
2. Constructing the cap-receiver separate and removable from the outer casing, and with its projecting end formed into spring-nippers, substantially as and for the purpose-specie'd.
3. The arrangement of the spring n, operating substantially as shown and described, when combined with the follower and cap-receiver, so as to be removable with them from the case. Y
4. The guide to the delivery end of theinstrumcnt.
