FASTENING DEVICE FOR GUN-BARRELS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 450,448, dated April 14, 1891.
Application filed November 28,1890. Serial No. 372,933. (No model.)
To (LZZ whom it may concern.-
"Be it known that I, GEORGE W. CILLEY, of Norwich, in the county of New London and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fastening Devices for Gun-Barrels, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification. Y
My invention relates to the method of fastening a gun-barrel to its breech-frame; and it consists in fitting into the frame at one side of the gun a jaw or clamp adapted to enter into a transverse groove made in the barrel and to be drawn into place by a clamping-screw operated from the other side of the gun. This mechanism and arrangement is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side view of a part of a gun, showing a part of my attachment. Fig. 2 is a side view similar to Fig. l, but taken fromthe other side. Fig. 3 is a cross-section taken on line m to of Figs. 1 and 2. Fig.4 is a view in cross-section showing the clamping-jaw slightly modified. Fig. 5 is a plan showing a part of the gun and indicating by dotted lines the shape of the modified clamp of Fig. at.
In the drawings I have shown only such parts of a gun as are necessary to illustrate my invention, and need not describe the gun in detail, as my device will apply equally well to a great many styles of guns.
The barrel is indicated by A and the breechframe by B. The breech end of the barrel B is coned, as indicated by dotted lines at a a, Figs. 1 and 5, and fits into a corresponding recess made in the breech-frame.
clamping-piece O is drawn in, so that it will hold the barrel firmly in place. Vhen it is desired to remove the barrel, the screw D is so turned as to force the clamping-piece O outward, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 2. This causes the clamping-piece C to withdraw from the recess in the gun-barrel, and thus leave itin condition to be removed from the frame. The clamping-piece O is held from turning and also limited in its motion by the screw K, which fits in a groove made in the clamping-piece for that purpose. The screw D is held longitudinally in place by the pin E, Fig. 3, which fits into an annular groove made in it, as shown.
In Figs. 4 and 5 the clamping-piece is modified in shape, it being provided with an arm C extending upward through a vertical groove made in the side of the barrel, as shown. It also has a short projection G extending below its center, which forms, in connection with the screw K, a guide for keeping it in place and limiting its movement. The front side of the arm 0 is beveled, as shown at c c, Fig. 5, so that as the clampingpiece is drawn in it will act as a wedge to force the gun-barrel back firmly into its place.
I claim In a gun, the combination of a barrel having a cone-shaped breech end, said breech end adapted to fit into a recess in the breechframe and having a lateral groove for receivinga clamping-piece, as described, said clamping-piece so located in the said breech-frame that it can engage with and hold the barrel in place, and a screw by which the said clamp is operated, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses, on this 24th day of November, A. D. 1890.
' GEORGE \V. CILLEY.

SOLOMON LUCAS, ELISHA P. SLOCUM.
