CARTRIDGE IMPLEMENT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 340,549, dated April 27,1886. Application filed February 26, 1886. Serial No. 193,373. (No modeLl To all whom it may concern..-
Be it known that I, DANIEL BROWN, of Johnston, in*the county'of Providence, in the State of Rhode Island, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Cartridge Implements; and I declare the following to be a specification thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
Like letters indicate like parts.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the car tridge loaded and orimpedby my improved cartridge-tool. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of my improved cartridge implement in use as a decapping-tool. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of said implement in use as a cap-seating tool, the cartridge being shown in central vertical section. Fig. 4. shows, partly in side elevation and partly in central vertical section, said im plement in use as a wad-seater. Fig. 5 shows, partly in side elevation and partly in central vertical section, my said implement in use as a cartridge-shell crimper.
My invention is a combination-tool for capping, decapping, loading, and crimping paper or brass shot shells or cartridges; and it con; sists of a number of operative parts,which are capable of adjustment in various positions to adapt them to said operations, as hereinafter fully specified.
My improved cartridgetool is made of four parts. A is the handle or knob, having a central bore, one at a, another in continuation thereof, but of smaller diameter, as shown at b, and a central conical bore, a, in continuation of the others,all fully illustrated in Fig. 4. B is a cylindrical block having a central bore, d, and another in continuation of it, but of smaller diameter, as shown at e in Fig. 4. A screw, 0, passes centrally through said block B, its slotted end being at the inner end a of the bore e, and its outer end being countersunk, as seen in Fig. 4, and projecting centrally from the tapering end of the block 13,
as shown. A ferrule, D, surrounds the block B. .The rod E is a straight cylindrical stick having each end out down to a smaller diameter to form circumferential shoulders f g. An expelling-pin, F, projects from one end of said rod E, as shown in Figs. 2 and 4.; A metallic tube, G, open at both ends, has a tapering circumferential shoulder or expansion, h, as fully shown in Figs. 3, 4, and 5. At its smaller end it has an interior annular ring or lip, m. The cartridge-shell on which this tool is intended to operate is also illustrated in the drawingsin its several relationsto and positions upon said tool. It is the common well-known shot-shell, consisting of a tubular portion, a,
of paper or thin brass, with a'metallic end or flanged portion, 0, having a central cap-pocket, as shown in central vertical section in Figs. 3 and 5. It has the usual re-enforcing piece, 1', with the interior annular projecting rim, and a central opening or fire-vent.
In Fig. 5, s represents the powder, t the wad to confine the powder, a the shot, and o the wad to confine the shot.
The open end of the shell, when loaded, is crimped, as shown at win Figs.' 1 and 5, for the purpose of more firmly compressing and confining the charge within the shell.
The operation of my improved cartridgetool is as follows: To adapt the tool to remove the exploded caplfromthe shell after firing, insert the rod E through the tube, passingthe expelling-pin F through the smaller end of said tube. The shoulder f of the rod E then bears against-the inner surface of the annular lip on. Then insert into the larger end of the tube G the smaller end of theblock B,which will receive in its central bore, (1, the plain end of the rod E, and furnish a bearing for the shoulder 9 of said rod. Then insert the handle A into the projecting portion of the ferruleD of the block B. The tool as thus put together is shown in Fig. 2. The cartridge-shell is then placed upon the tool when in the position shown in Fig. 2. As the tube G is of sucha diameter as to closely fit into the tubular porition at of theshell throughout the length thereof, the expelling-pin F is truly centered in the shell, and accurately enters and passes through the vent of the re-enforcing piece r of the shell, and forces the cap out of the pocket.v It is most convenient to perform this operation by holding the shell upon the tool and striking the end of the handleAupon any suitable sur-. face. The blow thus given readily expels the exploded cap from its seat in the pocket of the shell.
To adapt the tool to insert a new cap into the shell, enter the rod E into the home of the handle A, with the pin F extending into said handle, as shown in Fig. 3. Then insert the block B into the tube G. The cartridgeshell is then slipped down over and upon the rod E, the plain end of said rod entering within the rim of the re-enforcing piece 7' of the shell. Then bring down the parts B G over the head of the shell. While in the position as described, and with the left hand holding the rod with the shell upon it, and the right hand holding the parts B G, as shown in Fig. 3, both hands are raised and brought down together, andthe knob, on striking any hard substance, as wood, causes the cap-seating sfirew to force the cap into the pocket of the s ell.
To adapt the tool to seat the wads, insert the point end of the rod E into the bore (2 of the block B, (the pin F being received in the bore 0 of said block.) Then insert the handle A into the ferrule D. Then slip the tube G over the rod E and block B. The tool is then used as an ordinary loading-stick, and is best shown in Fig. 4.
To adapt the tool to crimp the shell, I insert the smaller end of the tube G into the bore a of the handle A, and enter the open end of the cartridge-shell into the larger end of the tube G. As the tube Gis pressed downward,
the end of the cartridge-shell is made to assume a smaller diameter by the contracted portion of the tube G at h,- thus bending the shell inwardly around its entire circumference and forming the crimps or corrugations, w, which are desired. The screw 0, being adjustable, can. be regulated to press the cap into the pocket to any required depth.
The peculiarity of my device is the reversibility of the rod E and tube G with reference to the handle A and to each other, by means of which reversibility these few parts are brought into different positions and relations with each other, and are perfectly adapted to the several uses described.
This improved tool is cheaply constructed, simple in operation, compact in form, and without the levers or cumbersome appendages usually attached to such implements.
By the construction shown a plaincircular surface of vided at the end of the rod E to easily enter within the flanged rim of the re enforcing piece r of the shell, as shown in Fig. 3, while by the insertion of the rod E within the tube G, lipped at m, a broader end surface is obtained, which adapts it for forcing the wads accurately into the shell.- I thus provide'a sufficicntly small diameter is pro-' brass-bound loading-stick with metallic wearing-surfaces, yet light and compact and accu' rate in its fit within the shell.
The block B and the ferrule D can be made from one solid piece of wood or metal.
The-improved tool may be used either with or with out a common loading funnel and block.
I claim as a novel and useful invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. The cap-expelling tool herein described, consisting of the handle A, the block B, having the ferrule D to receive said handle, the lipped tube G, fitted upon the block B, and the shouldered rod E, inserted through said tube and engaged at one end within the bore d of the block B, and having at its opposite end the pin F, substantially as shown.
2. The wad-seating tool herein described, consisting'of the handle A, the block B, having the ferrule D. to receive said handle, the lipped tube G, fitted upon the block B, and the shouldered rod E, having its plain end flush with the smaller end of the tube and its pin-mounted end inclosed in the bores d e of the block B, substantially as described. I
3. The cap-seating tool herein described, consisting of the rod E, having the shoulder g and the centrally-bored handle A, to support the cartridge-shell and the tube G, the block B, the screw 0, and the ferrule D, to fit over and upon the shell and seat the cap, substantially as specified.
4:. In a combined decapping and cartridgeloading tool, the combination of the block B, having the central bores, d 0, rod E, having the expelling-pin F and shoulders f g, and. adapted to fit into and engage with the block B, the lipped tube G,mounted upon the block B, and a suitable handle connected with said block, all arranged and operating substantially as specified. t
5. The combined decapping,recapping,wad seating, loading, and crimping-tool herein described, consisting of the centrally-bored handle A, the centrally-bored block B, the screw 0, centrally inserted in said block, the
ferrule D, surrounding said block,,the reversible and shouldered rod E, having the pin F, the reversible and lipped tube G, with an expanded end from h, all arranged in the several relative positions and adapted to operate substantially as and for the purposes specified.
