B. BURTON.
Breech-Loader.
Patented June 29, 1869.
N-PERS, PMOTO-UTHOGRAFHER, WASHINGTON D. C.
'BETHEL BURTON,IOI BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN BREEoH-LOADERSQ Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 92,013, dated June 29, 1869.
To all whom t may concern.:
Be it known that I, BETHEL BURTON, of the city of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Breech-Loading Fire- Arms; and I do hereby declare that'the folt lowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, makin-gpart of this specification, in which- "Figure 1-represents a longitudinal section ofthe breech and magazine portion of the gun, loaded and ready for firing. Fig. 2 is a top view of the gunwith the breech-pin drawn back, showing the cartridge in the `chamber of the breech. Fig. 3 is a cross-section of the gun, taken at w w. Fig. 4 is a cross-section of the rear end of the breech at z. Fig. 5 is a perspective view ofthe breechpin and its lever, showing the rib in the slot of the breechpin, hereinafter described; Fig. 6 represents stock, below the magazine, and in this opening` the carrier T is made to tit, which effectually closes said openin g against access of sand or dirt. f
The opening in the stock is made to allow the carrier to move freely up and down.
The trigger K is extended, by means of the arm k, to and connected with said carrier by means of the slot in the end of the arm lf, working on the pin e, in the under side of the car- Iier T.
The end of the spring J, which is screwed uponvthe guard-plate, rests upon the heel of the trigger K.
When the trigger K is pulled back, the arm k draws'downrwith it the carrier T below the magazine D, and receives a cartridge on top of the carrier.
W'hen the breeclx-pin is withdrawn, it carries with it the empty shell out of the chamber of the barrel. y
The pressure of the spiral spring M against the hammer L l, acting against the base of the cartridge-case, while the extractor Gr engages it on top, tilts it up and out of the chamber of the breech.
When the breech-pin is drawn entirely back, the carrier is compelled to rise by the pressure of the spring J upon the trigger K, carrying with it the cartridge D', upon a line with the bore of the barrel, ready to be shoved therein by the forward motion of the breech-pin, as seen in Fig. 2, and the breech-pin secured against the base of the cartridge, in the manner described in my former patents. i
My next improvement consists in a longitudinal rib', N N', formed in the breech-pin slot It R', working in conjunction with the lateral rib N a, as seen in Figs. 3 and 5.'
Upon the arm 7c of the trigger K the finger H is pivoted, as described in previous patents, and upon the upper side of the linger H a lateral hook, h, is formed.
When the breech-pin is shoved forward to insert the cartridge in the barrel, the hook h on the nger H passes over the rib N N', and
when said breech-pin is revolved or turned the front hook passes over the lateral rib N n, asis also described in previous patent, which entirely prevents the arm from being dis charged until the breech-pin is securely in place.
The rib N N maybe placed ou the opposite Vside of the slot It R', and the hook h placed shoulder, corresponding with a shoulder on the inside ot the steady-pin I, which receives the shock of the hammer when the gun is snapped without a cartridge in the barrel. The beveled form of the shoulder renders it less liable to be worn away by frequent con- 3. The longitudinal rib N N', or its equivni lent, constructed and operating substantially s hown and described, for the purpose speci- 4. Fluting the breech-pin F, hammer L, and steady-pin I, or the under side of the strap G, substantially as shown and described, for the purpose specified.'
5. The lateral hook h on the finger H, und its combination with the rib N N' in the slot of the breech-pin F, substantially as shown `.eind described.
