JOHN ZNDORFF, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
PARLOR-RIFLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 269,152, dated December 12, 1882.
.Application filed May 27, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that'I, JOHN ZNDORFF, of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Parlor-Rifles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference. being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specitlcation, and in which- Figurel is a side view of my improved parlor-rifle. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section of the saine on an enlarged scale. Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section through the harrelof the ride on line x .x in Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a cross-section through the stock with its latch on line 'y y in Fig. l, and Fig. 5 is an end view and a section of the cartridge used with fthe rifle.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the ligures.
My invention contemplates certain improvements upon the parlor-ride for which Letters .Patent No. 237,357 were granted to ine on the 1st day ofFebruary, 1881, having for their ob ject to facilitate the operation ot' the same, as well as to simplify its construction.
The nature ofthe said improvements will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
`eterring to the drawings, the letter A represents the barrel, and B the stock or skeleton stocleframe, of my improved parlor-ride. The barrel A is in two parts or sections, between which a recess or opening, a, is arranged, of sufficient length and width to permit the ngers to be inserted into it to get easily at the nipple O, which is screwed centrally into the rearend of an interior shell or cylinder, D, of the front section of the barrel. The nipple and shellhaveabore ofequaldiameter throughout, said bore corresponding to the size or caliber ot the ball of the cartridge to be used.
In the rear section of the barrel A, back of the recess a, is arranged a solid cylindrical hammer, E, which is acted upon at its rear end by a strong spiral spring, E', the spring being placed around the stein ot' the hammer, between the shoulder of the same, and a screwcap, H, inserted into the rear end of the barrel. The hammer is provided atits frontpart with a guard-harige, b, which forms a kind of socket for thc nipple and prevents the escape of any portion of the cartridge when the latter is exploded.
A is a smaller barrel, which projects `from the under side of the rear section of barrelA, and contains a coiled spring, I, against which works the rod or plunger K, the upperpart of the latter being guided through a sleeve, A2. Upon plunger K is fastened, by a piti or screw or in anyother suitable manner, a finger-piece, L,whichhasalipoi'stud,l,thatprojectsthrough a slot, m., in the rear section ofthe barrelinto a recess, d, in the under side of the sliding spring-hammer E. It will thus be seen that by pushingor pressing the finger-piece L down in the direction ofthe stock or butt-end ofthe rifle, hammer E will be thrown back until retained by a trigger, G,vwhich springs into a catch of the hammer. The trigger G may he of any approved construction, and retains the hammer in cocked position, so as to permit it to be thrown forward by its spring on being released from the trigger After the hammer has been set or cocked in this manner the rod or plunger K will be brought back into its normal position in its barrel A and sleeve A2 by the spring I.
The cartridge used is the same as that described in my Letters Patent No. 237,357 and shown in Fig. 50i' the accompanying drawings. Iteonsistssimplyot'acommonpercussioncapsuch as is used for regular United States service firearms-and ofa ball, whichis retained at the bottom of the cap by means of tallow, by a thin wad ot' tissue-paper, or in any other suitable manner. This cartridge is placed in position upon the nipple, the pressure thereon forcing the ball into the same.- V'Vhen the hammer strikes the cap the force of the eXplosion of the fulmiuate in the latter throws the ball with considerable force through the nip- 'ple and shell. When the nipple becomes battered by use it can be readily unscrewed and replaced by a new one, so that the riiie is always in condition for use. rIhe cartridge employed is cheaper than those at present in use for parlor-rifles, but accomplishes in every respect the same results. The hammer moves in a line with the nipple in the rear section ofthe bar- IOU rel, and is readily set by the plunger K with its nger-piece, which also gives a neat and attractive tinish to the rifle. The butt-end of the barrel has a downward-projecting bracketpiece, B', provided with a screw, e, by means of which it is attached to the stock or shoulder-piece B. To hold the latter properly in place and prevent it from turning upon the screw after it has been screwed home, I employ a latch, M, which is hinged at fto the piece B', and catches with its hanged sides or Wings over the adjacenttop part of the stoel; or stockframe, as clearly shown in Fig. 4 oi the drawings. B v throwing this latch up so'as to disengage it from the part B the latter may readily be detached by unscrewing it.
Itis obvious that my improvexnentis applicable to pistols as well as to riiies by shortening the barrel and using a stock of different shape.
Having thus described my invention, Iclaim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States- --stantially in the manner and for the purpose herein shown and specified.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as y my own I have hereunto affixed my signature in presence oi' two witnesses.
JOHN ZNDORFF.
