Primer installation device

摘要

A primer installation device provides consistent placement of a primer in an ammunition shell. The device includes a ram rod coupled to and positioned in a housing. An elevator is coupled to the housing. A position of the elevator is adjustable relative to the housing. The elevator is structured to comprise a conduit. A shell holder is coupled to the elevator. A loading pin is operationally coupled to the ram rod wherein operation of the ram rod extends the loading pin through the conduit in the elevator and through the shell holder such that the loading pin is configured for installing a primer into a shell positioned in the shell holder. Full extension of the loading pin is determined by physical obstruction of operation of the ram rod.

1. A primer installation device comprising:
a housing, said housing defining a ram chamber having an upper lip; a ram rod coupled to and positioned in said housing, said ram rod abutting said upper lip when said ram rod is fully elevated within said ram chamber; an elevator coupled to said housing, said elevator having a threaded portion, a position of said elevator being adjustable relative to said housing, said elevator being structured to comprise a conduit; a wheel having a threaded surface, said threaded surface being complementary to and engaging said threaded portion of said elevator, said wheel being coupled to said housing such that said wheel is rotatable within a fixed position in said housing whereby rotation of said wheel adjusts a position of said elevator relative to said upper lip; a shell holder coupled to said elevator; a loading pin operationally coupled to said ram rod wherein operation of said ram rod extends said loading pin through said conduit in said elevator and through said shell holder such that said loading pin is configured for installing a primer into a shell positioned in said shell holder; and wherein full extension of said loading pin is determined by physical obstruction of operation of said ram rod.
