SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent NO. 482,805, dated September 6, 1892. Application led November 21, 1891. Serial No. 412.659. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE F. FOGERTY, of Cambridge, county of Middlesex, State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Guns, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like letters and Iigures on the drawings representing like parts.
This invention has for its object to improve the construction of magazine-guns; and it consists in details of contstrueion to be hereinafter more fully set forth in the claims at the end of this specification.
Figure l shows a longitudinal section of a portion of a magazine-gun embodying this invention; Fig. 2, a front side view of a portion of the gun broken away to expose some of the operating parts; Fig. 3, a vertical section of the breech-block, taken on the dotted line :c x, Fig. 2; Fig. 4,a rear side View of the portion of the gun shown in Fig. 2; Fig. 5, a frontside view of the cartridge chamberand receiver removed; Fig. 6, a longitudinal section of the cartridge chamber and receiver shown in Fig. 5,`taken on the dotted line x Fig. 7, a cross-section of the cartridge-receiver shown in Fig. 6, taken on the dotted line :r2 m2; Fig. 8, an enlarged rear side view of the front end portion of the cartridge chamber and receiver shown in Fig. 5; Fig. 9, an enlarged rear side View of the rear end portion of said cartridge chamber and receiver; Fig. 10, a horizontal section of a portion of the parts shown in Fig. 8, taken on the dotted line ac3 x3; Fig. 1l, a horizontal section of the rear end portion of the cartridge chamber and receiver with the cartridge-moving device in its rearmost position; Fig. l2, a cross-section of the parts shown in Fig. 10, taken on the dotted lines @c4 x4; and Fig. 13, a cross-section of the cartridge-re ceiver shown in Figs. S and 10, taken on the dotted lines m5 x5.
The stock a, made in any usual manner, has a hole through it from end to end, in which is placed a tube a', extending from end to end of said hole. This tube is open at each end and constitutes the cartridgechamber.
Secured to one side of the tube a are two or more cartridge-holders, three being herein represented at b, they being made of short strips of steel or like material, secured to the outside of the tube, as by rivets 2, the ends of said strips passing through openings 3 in said tube to project into the interior thereof. The rear end of each strip b is turned over to pre- 5; sent a spring-acting shoulder 4, againstwhich the heel end of a cart-ridge rests, and the forward end of each strip is formed to present a spring-latch 5. These cartridge-holders b are made of substantially the same length as a 6o cartridge and are located at certain distances apart along the tube a', which distances are equal to the length of a cartridge, so that a cartridge may beheld between the ends 4 5 of each holder and also between the ends 5 of each 65 holder and the ends 4 of the next holder, as shown in Fig. 6. The opposite side of the tube a is slotted from end to end to serve as a raceway or guide for a slide-bar b2, which is provided with a laterally-projecting pin b3, by 7o which it may be moved longitudinally in the raceway. A'series of cartridge-engaging devices li, made similar to the cartridge-holders b, are secured to the outer side of the slidebar b2, as by rivets 20, the acting shoulders 6 75 at the rear ends and spring-latches 7 at the forward ends of said engaging devices passing through holes in said slide-bar to act upon the cartridges contained in the tube or chamber. The engaging devices are made sub- 8c stantially the same length as a cartridge, like the holders b, and are arranged in the slidebar b2 a certain distance apart, which is also equal to the length of a cartridge. This slidebar b2 and cartridge-engaging devices b4, car- 8 5 ried by it, constitute the cartridge-moving device.
The cartridges are inserted in the tube at the rear end of the stock a, and the slide-bar b2 is moved rearwardly into the position shown 9o in Fig. 11, whereby the cartridge-holders b and cartridge-engaging devices b4 will oocu py positions opposite each other. When in this position, the spring-acting shoulders 6 will engage the heel ends of the cartridges which are heldin position by the holders b. Then by moving the said slide-bar forward the cartridges will all be carried forward a distance equal to the length of a cartridge, as shown in Fig. 6, thereby feeding the cartridges ahead roc one at a time.
When the cartridges are fed forward, means must be provided for directing and pushing them into the barrel e, and I have herein represented such means as a trough-shaped receiver d, pivoted at d', to the outer end of a support d2, pivoted at d3 .to a block d, screwed or otherwise rigidly secured to the tube ct. The cartridge-receiver d has at its forward end ashouldered end piece d4,which when the support d2 is turned upward on its pivot d3 strikes against the under side of the end of the barrel e, thereby causing the receiver d to turn on its pivot d into a position to hold the cartridge in alignment with the barrel, as shown in Fig. 1. A saddle o is secured to the breech-block f, having a downwardly extended projection o at one side and a downwardly-extended projection o2 at the opposite side. Thebreech-block f is reciprocated in any usual way, as by a handpiece f', arranged on it. The support d'2 has two projections t' i', one or the other of which is adapted to be engaged or acted upon by the downwardly-extended projection o', according as the breech-block is moved in one or the other direction. Then the projection o is moved forward, it will strike the projection t and turn the support d2 down, as shown in Fig. 5, and when moved in the opposite direction will strike the projection t" and turn the support d2 up, as shown in Figs. l and 2. When the projection o strikes the projection t', and thereby raises the support d2 or moves it on its pivot d into the position shown in Fig. 2, the receiver d, pivotally lconnected. to it, is raised by it and its shouldered end d4 will strike the under side of the barrel e, causing the receiver d to turn on its pivot into the position shown in Fig. 2, so that a car-v tridge held by it will be in direct alignment with the barrel e. When the breech-block is moved in the opposite direction and the projectionV o strikes the projection t', the support Z2 is returned to its normal position, carrying the receiver d with it, as represented in Fig. 5. The downwardly-extended projection o2 is slotted, as at o3, to receive the pin b3 of the cartridge-moving device, so that the cart-ridge may be fed forward by said handpiecef..
To feed a cartridge forward and insert it in the barrel, the slide-bar h2 is moved rearwardly by the handpiece f into position for the spring-latch 7 to engage the heel end of the cartridge. The slide-bar is then moved forward, carrying the cartridge with it, until the said cartridge enters the cartridge-receiver d, where it is held by the spring-holders w w. The breech-block is then again moved rearwardly from the position shown in Fig. 5 to the position shown in Fig. 2, and as the projection o acts upon the arm 1l the support d2 is raised, and consequently the cartridge-receiver d, containing the cartridge, and the shoulder d4, striking against the under side of the barrel, causes the receiver to turn on its pivot, bringing the cartridge into direct alignment With the barrel, as in Fig. 1. Then the breech-block is next moved forward, the holder n of the firing-pin n will strike against the rear end of the cartridge contained in the receiver CZ and push it ahead into the barrel e, while the projection 0 on the breech-block will strike the projection fi, and thereby return the support and receiver to their normal positions. As the parts are arranged the projection 0 will strike the projection t and return the support and receiver just as soon as the cartridge contained in the receiver has entered the barrel a short distance, so that the receiver will be returned soon enough to receive the next cartridge.
I claiml. In a magazine-gun, the tube a', fitted in the stock and provided with holders h at one side and with a slide-bar b2, provided with engaging devices b4, at the opposite side, combined with the cartridge-receiver d at the forward end of the tube, the support d2, to which said receiver is pivoted, and means for moving said support to bring the cartridge into alignment with the barrel, and means for pushing the cartridge into the barrel, sub stantially as described.
2. In a magazine-gun, the tube a to receive the cartridges and means for feeding them forward, combined with a cartridge-receiver at the forward end of the tube, a support to which said receiver is pivoted, and projections t' t" on said support, which are engaged and moved by the breech-block to bring the cartridge into alignment with the barrel and to return the support to its normal position, and means for pushing the cartridge into thebarrel, substantially as described.
In a magazine-gun, a cartridge-chamber and cartridge-holders therein and a cartridgemoving device for feeding the cartridges forward one at a time, combined with a pivoted cartridge-receiverand a pivoted support therefor, means for moving said support on its pivot in either direction, and means for turning said receiver on its pivot to bring the cartridge held by it into alignment with the barrel, and means for pushing the cartridge into the barrel, substantially as described.
4. In a magazine-gun, a cartridge-chamber and cartridge-holders therein and a cartridgemoving device for feeding the cartridges forward one at a time, a handpiece, and a projection 02, connecting said handpiece with the cartridge-moving device, combined with a pivoted cartridge-receiver, a pivoted support therefor, a projection 0, connected to said handpiece for moving the said support Von its pivot in either direction, and means for turning said receiver on its pivot to bring the cartridge held by it into alignment with the barrel, and means for pushing the cartridge into the barrel, substantially as described.
5. In a magazine-gun, a cartridge-chamber and spring-acting cartridge-holders therein, a cartridge-moving device consisting of a slide-bar with cartridge-engagin g devices car- IOO IIO
ried by it, and a hand piece connected with said slide-bar, combined with a pivoted cartridgereceiver and a pivoted support therefor, and a projection moved by said handpiece for moving said support on its pivot in either direction, and means for turning the cartridgereoeiver on its pivot, and mea-ns for pushing the cartridge into the barrel, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my 1o name to this specification in the presence of tWo subscribing Witnesses.
