W. G. PICKERSGILL.
Cap Extractor. No. 97.805. Patented Dec. 14, 1869.
I UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM C. PICKERSGILL, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, ASSIGNOR TO PROVIDENCE TOOL COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.
IMPROVEMENTlN CAP-EXTRACTORS FOR CARTRIDGES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 97,805, dated December 14, 1869.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM G. PICKERS- GILL, of the city and county of Providence, in the State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful CapExtractor for Metallic Cartridges; and I do hereby declare that the following specification, taken in connection with the drawing 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. Metallic cartridges for breech-loading firearms are now generally constructed with a cap charged with a fulminate inserted in the center of the head.
Hitherto a great Waste of spent shells has been occasioned from the want of any convenient portable tools for performing the several offices for which the hereinafter-described instrument and the others of the series to which it belongs are designed to perform.
Referring to the perspective drawing, A A are levers pivoted at B, and capable, like the handles of a pair of pliers, of being held by one hand. The lever A has a short arm, C, which is furnished with a chisel or sharp spurpoint, a, the cutting-end of which will, as the handles A A' are made to approach each other, travel in the arc of a circle. The lever A' has for its short arm a yoke-piece, D, which stands at nearly a right angle with the axis of the long arm. To this yoke is hinged, at b,a bent lever, E, the longer arm of which is furnished with a suitable bed, upon which a cartridgeshell can he placed so that its axis will be parallel, or nearly so, with the axis of the said arm.
It is obvious that the bent lever E is capable, by reason of its being hinged to the yoke D, at b, of a movement independent of the movement given to the yoke by the lever A.
To extract the cap the cartridge-shell is placed upon its bed on the long arm of the lever E, with its head toward the chisel a, and the flange thereof resting in a channel cut in the bed to receive it, the levers A A being open. The lever E is held by the left hand, the thumb resting upon the forward end of the shell to hold it upon its hed. The levers A A, held by the right hand, are made to appreach each other, and the point of the chisel a, which stands obliquely to the plane of the head of the shell, is forced into the metal of the cap. So soon as it has fairly entered it a slight upward movement is given to the lever E, which, causing the head of the shell to travel in an opposite course from that which the point of the chisel is describing, will effect with perfect facility the extraction ofthe cap.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The apparatus for extracting the cap from a metallic cartridge, substantially as herein shown and described.
WILLIAM C. PICKERSGILL.
