Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. DAVEN:

POR'", acitizeu of the, United States, residing at Norwich, in the county of New London and i 5 State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shell-Extractors for Breakdown Guns; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the. invention, such as Io will enable others skilled in the art to which appertsins to make and use the same, referce being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form at part ,of this specification.

i 5 My invention relatesto shell-extracting dei2 5 forward-end of said extractor-rod, arranged whereby the act of breaking down or opening the gun brings the bent portion of said'lcver into engagement with the adjacentpart of theft-sine, thereby forcing the upper part of the lever; together with the extractor-rod,

renrwardly and at the same time forcing the shell from its seat. The reversal of the operetionythat is, closing the gun, causes the i'rame to engage the rear end of the rod and 5forcc the latter back to its normal position, all as will be more fully hereinafter set forth and clsimcdf The object I have in view is to produce an cilicicnt positive-action shell'cxtracting device, the parts composing it being comparativcly inexpensive and not liable to become ttlve.

accompanying sheet of drawings,

1 gut-c l is a side elevation, in partial section, of a breakdown gun embodying myimpmvement, the parts being in the normal position. Fig. 2 is a similar view, the barrel being tilted, showing the extractor as in use. Fig.

El e it View of the rec-.1- ond of the barrel and ertractor; and Fig. 4is etranst'erse sectional View ofi the barrel, taken on line a: m otFig. 1 p and showing" the forward end of the frame.

My improvement is well adapted to breakdown shotguns provided with any wQll-lmown locking and firing means. Therefore I make no claim herewith to such parts.

In the drawings, 6 indicates the barrel; f, the frame member, secured to the breechstock; it, the hammer; t, the trigger; l, the top snap lever through which the. lockingboltm is operated; b the lug secured to or integral with the barrel; p, a removable pin or screw-hey passing through the forward part'of the frame and lug and forming a pivot 011' which the'bnrrel is capable of being tilted, 6 5 and f the fore-wood secured to the'barrel and fitted to the semicircular end 2; of the frame. I

The forward part of the barrel-lug b is slotted vertically, as at I), to receive the L-shaped extractor-operating lever 0. (See also Fig. 4.) 'lhe'short arm 0' of this lever ispivoted at its outer end to the lower part of said slotted portion by means of a pin 0 The other arm of the lever extends vertically, its free end being adapted to frict-ionally engage the for; ward end of the extractor-rod a, soon'to be described.

The heel or knee portion a of the lever c is arranged to extend below the barrel-lug, so do that when the barrel is being tilted from the normal position the said heel portion will thereby contact with the adjacent surface f of the frame f, thus forcing the upper part of the lever rearwardly. It will be seen that 8-5 the lever and corresponding portion of the lug b do not extend outwardly or beyond the curved surface 5 of the frame. The said extractor-redo is, as drawn, simply a round rod fitted to slide endwise in a corresponding hole formed longitudinally in the upper part of the barrcldng. In order to prevent the rod from turning and at these-inc time to limit its endwise movement, it is slotted on its under side and provided with a. stop-pin d, 9 5 fixed in the lug, su bstentially as usual. The rear end of the rod is provided with a round head a, the lug being counterborcd to receive it, as clearly shown. The upper side of the head of is cut away toqfol'm-a seat a and being )1'2u'tienll \:t emitinnnlion of the eounlerhore 1/",l'ormed in the end oi the hurrel l'or the rgweption of the rim poi-lion oi the shell s, and eoneentrie with the here of the barrel. (See Fig. Ii.)

It obvious from the foregoing description that after \vilhdrmving the lmlt 'm the net of tilting the inn-rel, as in opening lhegunqvill cause the heel of the lever 1' to engage the surl'neej" of the stationary lrzunej', thereby at the sometime positively swinging the free arm of the lever w m'w'a-rdly and forcing the rod 11 in the same direction, h'lHll movement of the rod also f'err-ing the shell from ihe barrel :1 (-orreshondingdistnnee. (See Flex 2.) him further-state that the form and relnl ion of the said parts 4- oi the levell" oithe frame, and 1/ ol the rod r/ are sneh that the slidnlile exlrnvlor is ililvrlmfiell between and prneiieully in engagement with the vertical I'm-e f of the frame and the rear vertical time of the lever-arm met all times while the gun is being opened and ('losed. 'l'n .-losing the gun the hive of the head 1/ slides downward against the l'rame-l'au-e /",therehy forcing the extractor to its seat. The several parts are shown in Fig. l in the normal ])()Si1,i()ll,llS 'lhus it will when the gun is l'nll v closed.

he S0011 that the device is positive ig its action, heth in opening and closing the gun. No springs what ever are employed, and it is 00mpnmtivelv inexpensive to make and notlinhle to become inoperative.

I claim as my inventionin nhrealcdovvn 5.11m, provided with nbarrellug, the lfrmne, and the usual adjunctive deviees,the eomhi nation of the endwise-movable extractor-rod a seated in said barrel-lug, said rod having an enlarged round head portion re Coneentrie therewith fitted. in a correspondingly-Slmpod sent eounlerlmred in the rear end of the lug, and the extractor-lever cpivota'lly mounted in the forward end of'said lug, having, its free end adapted to engage the forward end of said rod u, the heel e of said lever being, in engagement with the forward part of the said grun-frmne, substantially as hereinhefore described and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.-
