Abstract
Abstract The tool-supporting carriage of a reloader is actuated by a toggle lever system having one of its links provided with an ejector cam. The tools mounted on the carriage include a resizing die having a tubular support, and a relatively reciprocable depriming punch and ejector bolt having a U-shaped cam follower portion in the path of the cam, one leg of said portion projecting through the carriage interiorly of said support and another leg thereof being guided and supported by the carriage to resist a lateral component of cam thrust while providing prolonged cam action in the ejection from the sizing die of the re-sized cartridge.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
In a shell reloader having a relatively movable tool carriage and support for a fired shell having replaceable primer, and actuating means for effecting relative approach and retraction of the carriage and support, the combination with said carriage, said support, and said actuating means, of means operable in a single such approach and retraction for completely reconditioning said shell for reloading, said last means including a primer ejector, a shell re-sizing die, and a means for discharging the shell from the die, said re-sizing die being mounted on a supporting sleeve connected with the carriage and the primer ejector comprising a rod reciprocable relative to the carriage and extending through said sleeve and provided above the sleeve with a cam follower, the actuating means including a lever having upon it a cam engageable with said follower in a direction opposite to the direction of relative retraction of the carriage and sleeve.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
151 words
In a shell reloader having a relatively movable tool carriage and support for a fired shell having replaceable primer, and actuating means for effecting relative approach and retraction of the carriage and support, the combination with said carriage, said support, and said actuating means, of means operable in a single such approach and retraction for completely reconditioning said shell for reloading, said last means including a primer ejector, a shell re-sizing die, and a means for discharging the shell from the die, said re-sizing die being mounted on a supporting sleeve connected with the carriage and the primer ejector comprising a rod reciprocable relative to the carriage and extending through said sleeve and provided above the sleeve with a cam follower, the actuating means including a lever having upon it a cam engageable with said follower in a direction opposite to the direction of relative retraction of the carriage and sleeve.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A shell reloader according to claim 1 in which the said rod has a U-shaped portion with a surface constituting said cam follower.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
A shell reloader according to claim 2 in which the U-shaped portion of said rod includes a depending leg for which said carriage provides guide surfaces.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
160 words
In a shell reloader having a relatively movable tool carriage and support for a fired shell having replaceable primer, and actuating means for effecting relative approach and retraction of the carriage and support, the combination with said carriage, said support, and said actuating means, of means operable in a single such approach and retraction for completely reconditioning said shell for reloading, said last means including a primer ejector, a shell re-sizing die, and a means for discharging the shell from the die, said actuating means comprising pivotally connected links respectively pivoted to said carriage and to a support upon which said carriage is guided, the link pivoted to said carriage having a handle extension and being provided with a cam, the primer ejector being reciprocable with respect to the carriage and having a portion movable through the re-sizing die, and being provided with an exposed cam follower with which said cam is engaged in a predetermined range of handle positions.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
160 words
In a shell reloader having a relatively movable tool carriage and support for a fired shell having replaceable primer, and actuating means for effecting relative approach and retraction of the carriage and support, the combination with said carriage, said support, and said actuating means, of means operable in a single such approach and retraction for completely reconditioning said shell for reloading, said last means including a primer ejector, a shell re-sizing die, and a means for discharging the shell from the die, said actuating means comprising pivotally connected links respectively pivoted to said carriage and to a support upon which said carriage is guided, the link pivoted to said carriage having a handle extension and being provided with a cam, the primer ejector being reciprocable with respect to the carriage and having a portion movable through the re-sizing die, and being provided with an exposed cam follower with which said cam is engaged in a predetermined range of handle positions.
Claim 7
