The rear end of the pusher isshown as tapered or pointed as at 18 which is adapted to enter an opening 19 in the lag 19 of the toiguer plate the ippen eats of the tail part of the pusher having a, cam 5 surface 20 to cause the upward tip of the forward end of the pusher when the tail thereof enters the opening 19, It will be assumed that the breech-block 7 is moved backward by'regoil and that its forward end ig back of the head of the front cartridge of the row, suid front cartridge peviow Just emerged from the passnge 5. In Fig. 2 the breechblock is shown as all the ray back, the pusher having been eaused to 46 be moved to its operative position, When, therefore, the breech-block is. advanced, the Pusher will strike the head of the first ‘car. ‘ridge, then out of the passage 5, and Will Positively: causo said first cartridge to be guided downward by the eam surfaces 8 and 4 into the path of the breech-blocke The extractor is denoted by 92 and it has 4 lug 283 loosely fitting a cut 24 in the front end of the breech-block. The extractor 22 is supported by the front end of the plun- fe piles ting 2 jks the bree lock and engaged by the spring 26 to hol the front cam end of the finer cease lower cam surface of the extractor An ox, amination of the’ drwwings will how clearly that this thrust of the plunger 25 against the cam surface of the 20 25 we extractor 22, while holding the extractor yieldingly in ite upward position also holds tho upper end of the extractor yieldingly against the face of the breech-bloek. When the breechblock in its advanced position the upper end of the gxtractor engages the rim of the cartridge in the usual manner. When the point 13 of the firing pin strikes the cartridge the roughened end of the point will be slightly embedded and the extractor will ‘with ths Point clamp jointly the shell to insure-the- shell being withdrawn from place, As the breech-block moves backward during which fire the cartridge. is gripped: by the: ex- nigtor end the firing pi, 6 comes in con. {act with the downward depending shoulder 27 at which time it is tumed on the point of the ‘extractor and discharged positively from the receiver. ‘Through the breech-block 7 is tapped the Grew 28 the upper end of which engages the plunger 25" so that when necessary the extractor may be adjusted vertically through the action of the screw engaging the plunger and effecting corresponding movements of the extractor. ‘What T claim is: 1.
