IMPROVEMENT lN CAPFRIMING ATTACHMENTS FOR FIRE-ARMS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 35,783, dated July l, 1862.
T0 @ZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that l', EDGAR D. SEELY, of Brookline, in the county of Norfolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Percnssion-Oap Holders and Primers to Guns and other Fire-Arms; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of -this specification, in which- Figure l is aside elevation of a gun and my invention as combined and operated. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the cap holder and charger, the gun being in elevation. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section of the same, the gun also being in elevation.
Similar letters of reference in each of the several gures indicate corresponding parts.
My improvement consists in applying the cap holder and primer patented to Ine Oc tober 29, 1861, to guns and other similar-op erating fire-arms, and so modifying the discharging end or terminus of the holderl that it may be moved toward and elevated or turned over the nipple of the fire-arm, so as to place a cap upon the nipple, and `then return to its original position automatically.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention while attached to a firearm, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
A is arectangular tube made in two parts, c Z), and with a curved bracket, c, eXtendingfrom one of its corners. The part a is much longer than the part b and is a fixture with the bracket, while the part Z1 is iudependentthereof. The two parts are iitted together by cutting a rectangular slot, c', in the bottom of the part a and forming a tongue, d, of a form correspending with the slot c2 upon the'bottom of part b. The tongue just ills the slot when the parts are brought together. A flexible or extension connection between the parts is formed by applying four ilat rubber springs, e e e e, to the sides of the two parts ofthe tube, so as to cover the joint, and then fastening one end of each of said springs to the part ct of the tube and the other end to the part b thereof, as represented.
The extreme rear end of the 'part b of the tube has a curved extension, f, formed upon it, and below this extension and forward of it a semicircular notch, g, is cutin the tube part b. To the inner sides of this part b, under the extension f, two spring-jaws, h h, are attached.
` These j aws are curved and their free ends nearly touch, and thus the two jaws linclose a semicircular space of greater diameter than the notch in the bottom of part b of the tube.
Within the tube A a rectangular open-ended shield or cap-holder, B, is placed. This shield is open at bottom and is formed with two narrow ledges, e' i', on its inner sides, as shown. One of these ledges is shorter than the shield and answers as a stop, as well as a support and guide. Within this shield an elastic cord, j, and a sliding block, 7c, are arranged, the cord being fastened to one end of the shield, carried back over a button, Z, and brought forward and attached to one side of the block 7a, as shown.
To close the end of the tube A when the shield is within the tube, and also to free the block lc from the stop end' of the ledge i', a springwedge, m, attached to a cap, a, of the tube A, is provided and operated, as presently described. i
The cap holder and primer thus constructed is attached tothe stock of the gun or rearm C at a point slightly forward of the capnippleby means of screws 0,whicl1 pass through v the curved bracket, as represented.
To operate with my invention, the shield must be withdrawn from the tube A and the plunger-block 7c drawn back and turned diagonally, so that its end bears against the stop end of the ledge t" by the draft of the springcordj upon it. The percussioncaps p arenow placed in the shield, their flanges bearing againstthe ledges, or standing under the same, as shown. The shield thus charged is inserted into the tube A, as shown in the drawings, and the spring-wedge m and cap a inserted into the end 'of the tube A, so as to force the plunger-block out of contact with the stop end of theledge i. This done, the plungenblock, by the power of the distended spring-cord, is caused to press forcibly against the line of percussion-caps When it is desired to apply a cap to the gun-nipple, the sportsman places his fingers upon the part b of the tube A and draws said part back toward and up over the nipple, and when the rst cap which is toward him is in line with the nipple he again lowers y the part b, so as to place' the cap down upon the nipple. This done, he releases the part b and its spring-jaws slip by the nipple and allow it again to form a connection with the part a of the tube. The other caps during this operation follow up and till the space vacated and are kept in the tube by meaps of the springs e e e e and the tongue d. Thus the sportsman has conveniently at hand a series of caps for ready use, and each of these he can speedily and certainly apply to the nipple of i s theY gnu by arsightbacirandln pj increment z off' the hand. Y Y
My method of modifying the discharging end of cap holders and primers might be applied to cylindrie or circular cases, as Well as tothe style of case described, if it should be desirable to use such cases as a fixture with guns or fire-arms.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. The combination of a cap holder and primer which has an extensible case and a gun or other nippled. tire-arm, substantially as and for the purpose set forth. A
2. The construction of the extensible case A in two parts, a b, and with spring connect- Substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
