Abstract
A charging bar for loading or reloading small arm type shells or cartridges. The charging bar comprises adjustment means for incrementally varying the volume of a powder or shot measuring chamber of the charging bar. Such adjustment means may include a rotational means which causes the volume of the measuring chamber to increase when rotated in one direction and the volume to decrease when rotated in the opposite direction.
Claims4
A charging bar for loading or reloading shells and cartridges comprising:
- a body having at least one elongated compartment therein;
- a resilient sealing liner disposed entirely within and lining said compartment and closing one end thereof;
- a piston movable in said compartment within said liner, and resilient seal means carried by the inner end of said piston for cooperation with said liner to define a measuring chamber for receiving a substance used in said shells, said liner sealing the space between said piston and said body and cooperating with said seal means to inhibit the passage of the substance therebetween from the measuring chamber.
A charging bar for loading or reloading shells and cartridges comprising:
- a body having first and second elongated compartments therein;
- a resilient sealing liner disposed entirely within and lining said second compartment and closing one end thereof;
- a first piston movable in said first compartment for cooperation with said body to define a first measuring chamber for receiving shot;
- a second piston movable in said second compartment within said liner, resilient seal means carried by the inner end of said piston for cooperation with said liner to define a second measuring chamber for receiving powder, said liner sealing the space between said second piston and said body and cooperating with said seal means to inhibit the passage of powder therebetween from said second measuring chamber;
- and
- first and second adjustment means respectively associated with said first and second pistons to vary the positions thereof for varying the sizes of said first and second measuring chambers.
