IMPROVEMENT IN BRBEGl-I-LOADING FIRE-ARMS.
TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM MORGENSTER'N, ofthe city and county of Hartford, and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fire-Arms; and to enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, I will proceed to describe, by referring to the drawings, in which the same letters indie cate like parts in each of lthe figures. I
The nature of this invention consists of a double-motion pin-and-socket-hinged breech-piece, whereby said breech-piece is first turned about a quarter turn, then lifted into about a horizontal position, or at right-angle position with a centre line of the barrel, when the chamber willbe open toreceive the cartridge. I
It also further consists of a fulerum-pin spring-extractor, for the vpurpose of holding the breeehpieee, and of extracting the shell or cartridge from the barrel, by the action of said breech-pin.
It also further consists in arranging the firing-pin in said breecl1-piece so that it will always be in readiness for firing when said breech-piece vis returned to its seat. 'In the accompanying drawingsi Figure 1 is a side view, partly in section, 'showing the barrel, having a cartridge inserted, with the springextractor acting against the flange thereof, to remove it from the barrel by the act ot' turning out the breech piece into the chamber into which the breech-piece is turned when closed up.
Figure 2 is a cross-section of the barrel, cut through the fulcrum-pin upon which the breech-piece joint is formed, having said breech-piece attached thereto. I
a is the barrel of the arm; b is the chamber formed at the breech ot' the barrel, which is closed up by the breech-piece after the insertion ot' thecartridge; eis a metal-flange cartridge; eZ is a double-acting breechpiece; e is an extractor hinge-piece and oscillating pin; e is a spring secured to said extractor; fis a iringpin; g is an actuating thumb-piece; tis a fulcrum-pin, which 'secures the extractor, Src., e, into the joint z.
Now, it will beclearly seen that when this breech-piece oZ is partially t'urned out of its chamber, and then turned upward, as shown in g. 1, the cartridge c can be easily inserted, so that its flange will be against the lower end ofthe extractor or spring'e; anchwhile in this position the breech-piece d is turned down, and rotated back into its seat, compressing ,the cartridge iirmly'into the breech of the barrel, when it will be in readiness to be fired in the usual way; and after having been tired, by turning out and up the breech-piece d, the extractor will start the shell, and the spring e will throw it backward loosely in the chamber I).
Thus it will be seen that when the whole mechanism'is put in good artistic workingorder, the charges can be easily and rapidly inserted, discharged, and the shell extracted, in quick succession, without the liability of l danger or of getting out of order. v
I believe Ihave thus shown the nature, construction, and operation oi' this invention, so as to enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same therefrom.` l
What I claim, therefore, and desire to sec'ureby Letters Patent, isl The double-acting rotating and swinging breech-piece al, hung upon the extractor hingepiece e, with the spring e', arranged and operating substantially as described.
