IMPERIAL

PATENT OFFICE,

With box magazines for multiple loads the cartridge feeder must have a shape such that when the last cartridge has been introduced into the chamber, in that it stands still against the underside of the breech block or, in the case of loose magazines, against an edge or the like Upper part of the magazine bumps.

To clean the magazine easily and conveniently

To be able to do so, it must be set up in such a way that that the feeder and the spring can be easily eliminated, which is the case with fixed magazines is achieved in that the bottom is arranged to be removable, while the loose magazines that come with a solid ground can be provided, the magazine must be removed from the rifle before the feeder and the spring can be removed from the same.

The fixed magazine with removable bottom is expensive and relatively heavy while the detachable magazines, which are cheaper and easier to connect to the Bolt housing of the rifle require special devices that the rifle more expensive and often make attaching and securing the magazine inconvenient.

It would therefore be of great advantage both economically and in terms of be a weight saving if you have the magazine firmly attached in the rifle could be provided with a solid floor. The only difficulty to deal with here is to arrange the feeder and the spring so that they are light removed and through the cartridge

channel of the breech block can be reattached in the magazine. if If this condition is met, the magazine is easy and convenient to clean.

The present invention relates to such a magazine in which the feeder can be removed and reinserted through the cartridge channel.

The invention is shown in the drawing, for example, namely:

Fig. Ι a longitudinal section through a magazine of the type mentioned, wherein the feeder is shown in the position in which it is inserted into the magazine or removed from it, Fig. 2 is a section along the line AB of FIG. 1, but with the magazine filled, FIG. 3 a section along the line CD of FIG. 1, the magazine also being filled, and FIG. 4 a top view of the cartridge channel and the cartridge feeder.

The section AB is closer to the piston than the section CD, so that the front end of the magazine is near the section CD , while its rear end is near the section AB .

The magazine α consists of a steel plate and can be pressed in one piece or assembled from several pieces. It is provided with a solid base and is firmly attached in the stock b of the rifle. A groove f of rectangular cross-section is provided in its rear vertical wall, in which a dovetail-shaped projection c of the feeder d is inserted when the feeder moves in the magazine.

Claims (1)

will lead. The side walls of the magazine are perforated to reduce weight. The magazine can hold any number of cartridges.
In Fig. 2 eight cartridges arranged in a known manner in zigzag g are shown. The two lower cartridges rest on the feeder d, which in a known manner ίο a longitudinal rib (Fig. ι and 2) is provided, so that one cartridge is slightly higher than the other. The front and rear ends of the cartridges rest on the sides against the side walls of the magazine, and the magazine is the shape of the cartridges slightly narrower at the front than at the back (Fig. 2 and 3). The feeder d is shown in the drawing as consisting of one piece with the W-shaped spring h ; but you can also use a feeder that is not in a fixed connection with the spring. Towards the front, the feeder d usually fills the entire width of the magazine, as can be seen from FIGS. 3 and 4, while towards the rear it is not wider than is absolutely necessary to serve to support the cartridges; the feeder is therefore narrower at the rear and somewhat wider at the front than the cartridge channel, as can be seen from FIGS. During the up and down movement, the feeder is guided at the front by the side walls of the magazine and at the rear by means of the projection c, which slides in the NiIt _- /. When the last cartridge has been fed into the chamber, the upward movement of the feeder is limited by the fact that its front end abuts against the edges k of the cartridge channel, while its rear end abuts against the lower edge of the breech block behind the cartridge channel. In this position, the feeder is of the dovetail-shaped projection c in a shutter arranged in the housing, also dovetail-shaped groove in which a continuation of NIIT _- forms /. The feeder is thereby prevented from sliding forward so that it can serve in a known manner to prevent movement of the base piece towards the closed position. Otherwise, the feeder acts like an ordinary one with regard to the feeding of the cartridges Feeder of known type. When the feeder is to be removed from the magazine, its rear end is pushed down toward the bottom of the magazine, as shown in FIG. In doing so, the spring will push the front end upwards, and if the proportions are chosen correctly, ie if the length of the feeder and the depth of the magazine are such that the front end of the feeder can swing upwards through the wide part of the cartridge channel without hitting the Transition points ρ from the wider to the narrower part of the cartridge channel or to the stops k , you can grasp the front end of the feeder and remove it together with the spring from the magazine, since the entire feeder is then located in the rear, wider part of the cartridge channel. Pa τ ε ν τ - A κ s ρ r υ c η: Box magazine for multi-loading rifles, characterized in that the cartridge channel is wider than the cartridge feeder over part of its length, so that the feeder, after being in the magazine in a corresponding position is brought together with its spring by the wider one Part of the cartridge channel can be removed and inserted into the magazine. 1 sheet of drawings.
