Title: Improvements in or relating to the Lock Mechanism of Breech Loading Guns.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
IPC: F41A19/57
Filed: 1912-07-06
Granted: 1913-10-06
Abstract: 15,857. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, G. T. July 6. Ordnance breech mechanism. - Relates to magazine percussion primer-locks of the kind having a laterally movable lock-frame, and provided with a bolt for inserting a new primer into the chamber in the vent axial. According to the invention, the bolt is not actuated to insert a new primer from the magazine and cock the striker until the lock-frame has been returned to the closed position. The bolt is handactuated, and normally cuts-off the magazine from the vent. The insertion of a new primer by hand while the lock-frame is moved aside is prevented by the pivoted extractor, which is mounted independently of the lock-frame and bolt and is held in its tilted position by a projection on the lock-frame until this is nearly returned to the closed position. A primerguiding lip is formed on the extractor. The rotary bolt E, shown in sectional plan in Fig. 4, is carried in a sleeve E<1> which engages therewith by the usual helical grooves and projections. The sleeve has a downwardly-projecting pin e<4> which enters a slot E<4> in a '' cocking- arm " E<3> pivoted at e<3Î> to the lock-frame C. The arm E<3> is geared by bevel sectors (not shown) to a " cocking-handle " E<2>, the gearing being so arranged in relation to a guide-surface on the breech-screw carrier A<3> that the handle E<2> can be actuated to retract the bolt and cock the striker only when the lock-frame is in the closed position. When the lock-frame is moved aside, during the opening of the breech, by the guide-bolt C', engaged with the usual lockactuating link of the mechanism, the extractor F is tilted rearwards in the usual manner, and is held in that position by an incline c<Î> on the lock-frame, to prevent the insertion of a new primer by hand. The extractor has a lip for guiding the primers pushed forwards by the bolt E into the vent. In case of a miss-fire, the lock-frame is moved laterally by hand, to eject the defective primer, by a lanyard lever H pivoted to the lock-frame, the actuation of which lever effects the withdrawal of the guidebolt C', the retraction of the striker G, and, finally, the lateral movement of the lock-frame. The magazine D is arranged horizontally and has a spring feed.
