To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, MILTON J. SHIMER, of Freemansbnrg, in the county of Northampton have invented a.
and State of Pennsylvania, new and usefulImprovement in Toy Cannons, of which the following is'a'fnll, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to an improvement in toy cannons, and especially to acannon adapts ed to be loaded with fire-crackers or like explosives. The object of this invention is to so construct the toy cannon that it will be breechloading, and whereby a'fire-cracker or like charge may be placed in the barrel at the breech with the fuse orstem of the cracker extending outward, and to provide a breech block against which the breech of the cannonshall'close,said breech block being fitted with,
a recess permitting the exposure of the fnse' or stem of the cracker. Y
Another object of this-invention is to provide a carriage for a cannon, so constructed that after the trunnions of the cannon have been mounted in said carriage they cannot be removed therefrom while the carriage is mounted upon wheels or equivalent supports.
The invention consists in the novel construction, and combination of the several parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out in the claim.
Reference .is to be had totheaocompanying drawings, forming-a part of this specification,
in which similar figures and letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views. p Figure l is a side elevation of the toy cannon. Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof; and Fig.
3 is a longitudinal section. through the cannon, breech block and carriage.
In carrying out the invention the carriage A as usual comprises the cheeks 10, a stock 11 and the trail 12. The cheeks 10 at their upper forward ends are made vto project upward, as shown at 13 in the drawings, and are ikewise curved in an inwardly direction, or direction of each other, and the extension 13 of each cheek is provided with a slot 14.
In the lower forward portion of the cheeks of the carriage an axle 15 is journaled,-being provided with ground wheelslh, and at the rear of the extensiqn of the cheeks, between: said cheeks and thestock, a breech block -17 is formed. This breech block may be into thereto'in any suitable or approved ma.nner,,: 'the said'breech block being provided upon its I forward face with achannel 179,-andsaid channel is preferably made wider at the top of, being madetapering in its formation. f
The cannon 18 is provided with truuni ons.
19, and'prior to theaxle being placed in its hearings in the cheeks of the'stock the 'trun-v of the breech block than atithe bottom therej 6e .3
nions of the'cannon'are made to enter thef65.--
The jean 'or breach ,end ofthe cnnnon preferably inclined from it's'upper side down- -7'e ward in a. forwardly direction, and the breech block is correspondingly inhlined. After the cannon has been placed in its hearings in the carriage, when itis brought to a horizontal position, its breech end will be-close to and 75 parallel with the forward face of the breech block. v
It is evident that after the cannon has been mounted in the checks of the carriage, when? ,the axle 15 has been journaled in said cheeks 8e and the wheels 16 placed upon the axle, the
said cheeks cannot expand, and furthermore the muzzle of the cannon cannot be carried sutficiently downward and rearward to admit of the trunnions being'displaced from their 85 bearings. Consequently, while the cannon may be inclined so as to carry its breech upward to ad mit of itsbeing loaded, it cannot be disconnected from thecarriage.
The cannonis to be loaded byplacingin-ge its bore at the breech end a fire-cracker 20, or the equivalent thereof, and'the-fuse or stem 21 of the said cracker is carried upward'in the channel 17 of the breech blockand beyond the top of the same,in order that it may 9 be conveniently lighted. -The breech er the cannon is prevented from being carried downward to too great an extent by means of astop 22, which is attached to or is integral with the breech block 17.
Having thus described my invention, 1 adapted to engagethe breech block, substan- 1 plaimas new and desire to secure by Letters tially as set fort Patent- In a toy cannon, the combination of an in- 5 tegral carriage having wheels, a breech block Witnesses:
fixed on the rear part thereof, and a barrel JOHN A. LANDENBERGER,
pivoted on said carriage over the Wheels and L. S. BIXLER.
