page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
I WILLIAM REYNOLDS of N° 514 Oxford Street in the County of Middlesex
Cutlery Manufacturer and Patentee do hereby declare the nature of my Baid
invention for AN ADJUSTABLE FOLD UP CARTRIDGE EXTRACTOR to be as follows :—
It consists of an instrument for the removal of Cartridge Cases from Sporting
Guns It is made of Steel or other hard metal and is capable of being folded so
that it may conveniently be carried in the pocket. The Extractor is a forceps like
instrument the points of the sides or arms have projections which will take a firm
hold upon the head of a Cartridge Case and enable the operator to extract the
Cartridge Case from the Gun. At the end of the sides or arms are two collars
which are attached to two bows or handles similar to the ordinary Scissor bows or
handles.
The two sides or arms are held together by a fixed screw and in the upper side
or arm is a slot or groove by means of which the points are made to slide along
into the bows or handles.
When the instrument is not required for use the sides or arms are superposed and
then the bows are moved inwards and the points pass through the Collars into the
bows as hereinbefore mentioned.
The operator can by means of this instrument extract a Cartridge Case of any
size from the gun and I propose therefore to refer to my said invention as my
Adjustable Fold up Cartridge Extractor.
