A NEW RE AND DE-CAPPER.
146593
The Ideal Manufacturing Company, New Haven, Conn., are now ready to put on the market a new implement for expelling the old primers from shells that have been fired and reseating new ones. The operation is in a straight line as may be seen by referring to the illustration. The implement may be fastened permanently to a bench or table, in which case it should be located at the right hand, front corner, so that the handle "A" will hang down as shown in the illustration ; or it may be fastened to a piece of board attached to a workbench, said piece of board projecting about four inches beyond the front edge of the bench. The forward portion of the block should be cutout between the extractor holder "J" and the head "K", so that the old expelled primers may drop into a receptacle underneath. The cut shows operation of expelling the old primer "E" just completed; the lever "A" is then down and expelling pin is seen as having passed through the fire hole in the pocket of the shell "G," which is shown as half cut away. The cap extractor "F" is pivoted to the extractor holder "J," the joint pin showing near that letter. To complete the operation of recapping, knock off the old primer "E," drop a new one in slot "D," and raise the lever "A" which is attached to two parallel links (only one of which is shown as "B"). The other ends of these links "B " are pivoted to the shell holder "I " in which is slot "H," into which the head of the shell "G" drops, the body of the shell near the head resting in a semicircular seat. This seat, together with the decapper "F," holds the shell in perfect alignment with punch "C," which passes through holes on each side of the slot "'D", forcing a new primer in the pocket of the shell perfectly true, without tipping. When the lever "A" is raised the links "B" draw the shell holder "I" together with the shell" G," up to the punch "C." When the primer is seated the cap extractor "F" is raised and the primed shell is removed, another shell is placed and the operations repeated.
The implement is equally good as a hand tool. The lever "A" folds over so that the tool may be carried in the pocket. It weighs but eight ounces. It is strong and powerful. It seats the primers easily and positively to the bottom of the pocket, which prevents misfire. It ejects the old primer and seats a new one without removing the shell, which is handled but once to perform the two operations, thus enabling the operator to do nearly twice as much work in a given time, which is valuable where quantities are required , as in Military Armories. The use of this implement in armories where loading presses are used, will enable two operators to work at one and the same time, as the loading press may then be kept at the heavier work all of the time. The following sizes are now ready: 25/35, 25/36- 30/30, 30/40 Krag, 30/45 Springfield, (headless), 32/40, 38/55.
