Application May 26, 1953, Serial No. 357,418
7 Claims. (Cl. 8640) This invention relates generally to a device for use in reloading used shotgun shells; the invention being directed particularly to, and it is a major object to provide, a novel manually actuated device for quickly and effectively crimping the outer end of a shotgun shell after it is re primed and loaded with powder and shot, with suitable wadding therebetween.
Another object of this invention is to provide a crimping device, for shotgun shells, which is operative to effect the desired result with a single down-stroke of a novel plunger unit which the device embodies; the plunger unit, in addition to its function to crimp the shell, also acting to size the same.
An additional object of the invention is to provide a.
crimping device, for shotgun shells, arranged in combination with a turntable ring which supports previously reprirned and reloaded shells in an annular row for successive disposition of the shells in alinement below the plunger unit for the crimping operation.
It is also an object of the invention to provide a crimping device, for shotgun shells, which is designed for ease and economy of manufacture, simplicity of use, and high capacity.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a practical and reliable crimping device for shotgun shells, and one which will be exceedingly effective for the purpose for which it is designed.
These objects are accomplished by means of such structure and relative arrangement of parts as will fully appear by a perusal of the following specification and claims,
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a top plan view of the device.
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary transverse section on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation of the device taken on line 33 of Fig. 1, showing the parts in their raised or starting position.
Fig. 4 is a similar view, but shows the plunger unit partially lowered to effect the initial infolding of the shell end.
Fig. 5 is a similar view, but shows the plunger unit at the lower end of its stroke to complete the infolding or crimping of the shell end.
Fig. 6 is an end view of a shotgun shell after completion of the crimping operation.
Referring now more particularly to the characters of reference on the drawings, the novel crimping device, for shotgun shells, comprises a horizontal mounting plate 1 fitted centrally thereof with a circular base 2 surrounded by a turntable ring 3; such ring having a plurality of vertical bores 4 therethrough in equally circumferentially spaced relation. The bores 4 are each adapted for the reception, from below, of an upwardly opening shotgun shell 5 which has previously been re-primed and loaded with powder and shot, with wadding therebetween.
Each bore 4 is enlarged at its lower end, as at 6, for the reception of the rim of the shell; placement of shells 2,749,791 Patented June 12, 1956 5 in the bores 4, and the removal of said shells therefrom, being made possible by notching out one corner of the mounting plate 1, as at 7. Such notched-out portion 7 is of an extent to overlie the path of the bores 4, and when the plate 1 is secured to a work bench or the like it is disposed with said notched-out portion 7 clear of the bench, or in alinement with a suitable opening in the latter.
The shotgun shells 5, after being placed in the turntable ring 3, are carried through a full-circle of motion by the latter, but which motion is step by step,- each step being a distance equal to the distance between the centers of adjacent bores 4.
The loading and wadding of the shotgun shells 5 carried in the turntable ring 3 is'accomplished step by step by means of the device shown in my copending application, Serial No. 355,779, filed May 18, 1953, and which device is mounted on the circular base 2, and cooperates with shells carried by the turntable ring 3 at a point ahead of the crimping device which is the subject of the instant invention. Such crimping device comprises the following:
As each previously reloaded shell is moved by the turntable ring 3 to the last station before return to the notchedout corner 7, which station is indicated generally at 8, such shell lies in direct vertical alinement but spaced below an initially raised plunger unit, indicated generally at 9. i
The plunger unit 9 comprises an outer plunger 10 which is carried in a fixed vertical guide sleeve 11 secured by an inwardly projecting web 12 to a standard 13 fixed on and upstanding from the circular base 2.
In the lower portion thereof the outer plunger 10 is formed with a central downwardly opening, shell receiving bore including an inwardly tapering annular shoulder 15.
The total effective axial length of the bore 14, including the shoulder 15, is substantially equal to the extent which the shell 5 at station 8 projects above the .top of the turntable ring 3.
Above the bore 14 and its annular shoulder 15, the outer plunger 10 is formed with an upwardly extending, reduced-diameter bore 16; the latter communicating at its lower end through the shoulder 15 with said bore 14.
A normally raised inner plunger 17 is disposed in the reduced-diameter bore 16, and said inner plunger 17 is of a length such that its lower end is normally above the annular shoulder 15.
A plunger rod 18 is fixed to the upper end of the inner plunger 17, and extends in slidable relation upwardly through and out of the outer plunger 10; thence being adjustably connected with a vertical link 19 whose upper end is pivotally connected, as at 20, to ahand lever 21 intermediate the ends of the latter.
The hand lever 21 initially extends at an upward and outward incline from its inner end, and the latter is pivoted, as at 22, to the upper end of a swing link 23 pivoted, as at 24, on the top of a post 25 which upstands centrally from the circular base 2. At its outer end the hand lever 21 is formed with a knurled grip 26.
An inverted, somewhat L-shaped latch arm 27 is pivoted, as at 28, to the link 19 intermediate its ends; the long leg of said latch arm 27 extending downwardly and having a lower end notch 29 which initially receives the upper end of the outer plunger 10. The latch arm 27 is yieldably maintained in position, with the upper end of the outer plunger 10 in notch 29, by means of a spring-pressed plunger 30 secured to link 19, and which works downwardly against the upper end of the latch arm 27.
A similar but upwardly working spring-pressed plunger 31 on link 23 works against the hand lever 21 to yield- 3 ably urge it to its raised starting position with the latch arm 27 then in latching position.
The guide sleeve 11 is vertically slotted, as at 32, to permit of downward travel of the latch arm 27 to a predetermined point, whence a laterally projecting pin 33 on the lower end of said latch arm 27 engages and is carried outwardly by a cam 34 on guide sleeve 11. This throws the latch arm 27 outwardly to a released positionagainst the action of spring-pressed plunger 30with respect to the outer plunger 10, for the purpose which will hereinafter appear.
When the plunger unit 9 is in its raised starting position, under the influence of the spring-pressed plunger 31, the upper end of the outer plunger 10 engages a stop 35 on the guide sleeve 11.
The operation of the above described device is as follows:
With a previously re-primed and reloaded shell disposed at station 8, in the successive step by step turning of the ring 3, the grip 26 is manually engaged, and the hand lever 21 is forcefully lowered. During the resultant initial portion of the downstroke thus imparted to the plunger unit 9, the outer plunger and the then raised inner plunger 17 move downwardly as a unit, and without relative movement between the parts. Thus, on the initial portion of the down-stroke of the plunger unit 9, the outer plunger 10 travels down to a point of abutment with the turntable ring 3; the upper portion of the shell 5 thus being projected into the bore 14 in sizing relation thereto.
When the upper end of the shell 5 strikes the annular shoulder 15, which is shortly before the outer plunger 10 comes into engagtment with the ring 3, continued and final downward travel of said outer plunger 10 causes said annular shoulder 15 to initially infold the upper end of the shell 5 to substantially frusto-conical configuration. See Fig. 4. The upper end of the shell readily assumes this position, for the reason that the initial infolding is on the same crimp or fold lines 36 formed atthe time of initial manufacture and crimping of the shell.
At the time the outer plunger 10 strikes the turntable ring 3, the pin 33 simultaneously rides the cam 34, throwing the latch arm 27 outwardly to its released position, as also shown in Fig. 4.
Thereafter, upon continuance of the down-stroke by the hand lever 21, said outer plunger 10 remains stationary, and the inner plunger 17 slides downwardly in the reduced-diameter bore 16, passes through the annular shoulder 15, and engages the initially infolded end of the shell 5 and presses such end downwardly to complete the crimping operation, as shown in Fig. 5.
The hand lever 21 is then released and it returns to raised position, also raising the plunger unit 9 to its corresponding position, and at which time the shell 5 is clear of the lower end of said plunger unit 9. The turntable ring 3 is then turned one step and the shell withdrawn downwardly out of said ring through the notched-out corner 7 of the mounting plate 1.
In order that the inner plunger 17 not produce undesirable air pressure in the plunger unit 9, the outer plunger 10 is formed with radial vents 37 therethrough adjacent but above the annular shoulder 15.
With the described crimping device the outer ends of shotgun shells can be crimped readily, positively, and quickly.
From the foregoing description it will be readily seen that there has been produced such a device as substantially fulfills the objects of the invention, as set forth herein.
While this specification sets forth in detail the present and preferred construction of the device still in practice such deviations from such detail may be resorted to as do not form a departure from the spirit of the invention, as defined by the appended claims.
