IMPROVEMENT IN BREECH-LOADING' ORDNANCE.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 36,401, dated September 9, 1862.
thereon, in which the same letter represents the same thing in each figure.
Figure 1 represents the cannon with the eccentric breech-pin in position to receive the charge. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal cut section,
showing the relation of the eccentric breechpin to the bore of the gun. Fig. 3 represents the cannon with the eccentric breech-pin in place. Fig. 4 is the combined wrench and ramrod. Fig. 5 represents the inner end of the eccentric breech-pin. Fig. 6 represents the outer end of the eccentric breech-pin.
A is the shell of the cannon; B, the eccentric breech-pin; G, and ranirod, E the wrench, and F the ramrod. D is the aperture in the eccentric breech-pin through which the charge is inserted. D is a second aperture in the eccentric breech-pin used with D to turn the breech-pin. G is the bore of the cannon; H, the aperturethrough which a magnet-wire is inserted to discharge it.
and E being the prongs of The operation of the cannon is as follows Insert the prongs E and E ofthe combined wrench and ramrod O in the apertures D and D of the eccentric breech-pin-B, and give ita half-turn, which will bring aperture D in line with thebore G 'of the cannon, remove the wrench, insert the charge in aperture D, driving it home .in the chamber of the cannon wrench and ramthe wrench as before to apertures D andD, and turn the breech-pin back to its place.
1 The cannon may then be discharged by a mag net-wire through aperture H in the breechpin. The eccentric breech-pin B is not inserted in the center of the breech of the cannon, but on one side of the center, so thatwh en half turned aperture D is brought in line with bore G, and when turned back it closes the barrel. The screw on which it turns back and forth holds it in position. What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is i The eccentric breech-pin B, constructed and operating substantially as described.
