UNITE TATES ATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM C. PICKERSGILL, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, ASSIGNOR TO PROVIDENCE TOOL COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.
IMPROVED APPARATUS FOR SETTING CAPS IN METALLIC CARTRIDGES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 97,804., dated December 14, 1869.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM C. PIoKERs- GILL, of the city and county of Providence, in the State ot'Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Cap-Setter for Metallic Cartridges; and I do hereby declare that the following specification, taken in connection with the drawings making a part of the same, is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.
The apparatus hereinafter described is one of a series of hand-machines designed to perform respectively the operations of extracting the cap of a discharged metallic cartridge, resetting a fresh cap, and inserting the bullet into the end of the cartridge-shell after the latter has been charged with powder.
The accompanying drawings exhibit, at Figure 1, a perspective view of the apparatus devised by me for setting a fresh cap in a cartridge-shell to take the place of one that has been previously extracted.
A A are two levers, jointed at F, and intended to be held and worked by one hand. The lever A has a short arm, B, upon the face of which is a set-block, C, Fig. 2, and which in this instance is made with a central teat, a, the end of which is formed with acavity to suit the shape of the head of the cap. The short arm D of the lever Ais bent at a right angle, or nearly so, with the longer arm, and its end is turned so as to form an ear-piece fora jointpm.
E is a cylinder of the same diameter as the bore of the cartridge-shells to be capped, and somewhat longer than such shells, which cylinder is jointed to the shorter arm D of the lever A at d. Suitable concave-faced stumps, b, are afiixed to the face of such short arm to give a rest for the head end of the shell. The end of the cylinder is, as shown at Fig. 4, made with a central conical teat, c, or of such other form corresponding with the form of the face of the die-block C as will best suit the interior construction of the cap.
To use the apparatus for the purpose designed, the cyliuder E should be elevated, as shown in dottedlines, Fig. 1. The shell is placed over the same, and the cylinder, having a cap placed in position upon the head of the shell, is brought to the position shown in the drawings. The levers A A are now brought toward each other, and the cap is forced into its place.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The apparatus for settinga cap in a metallic cartridge, substantially as herein shown and described.
WILLIAM C. PICKERSGILL.
