Description

The present invention relates to a bag for carrying by a person an ammunition belt for firearms such as machine guns.

Cartridge belts have been known in the state of the art for decades. These are characterized in that the individual cartridges are attached to one another and linked together to form a flexible belt, a cartridge belt. Because the cartridges are chained together in this way, they can be fed continuously to a firearm, e.g. a machine gun, in such a way that continuous gunfire is ensured. During field use, however, dealing with these cartridge belts is also associated with problems.

Unprotected cartridge belts are exposed to dust, water and dirt in the field.

A resulting particle impact on the cartridge belts can lead to malfunctions of the machine gun's self-loading mechanisms and therefore represents a very great risk in combat.

To minimize this risk, the cartridge belts are therefore usually stored and transported in transport containers.

These containers are often also provided with adapters, by means of which the respective transport container can be securely connected to the associated machine gun.

Such a transport container for cartridge belts is, for example, in US2455352A1 prescribed. It is a tubular, flexible transport container that holds the cartridge belt and has many sheet metal parts, which inevitably increase the dead weight considerably.

This tubular, flexible transport container can also be worn as a banderole. A machine gun adapter is located at the upper, open end of the tubular, flexible transport container.

The disadvantage of this design is that the cartridge belt has to be inserted very laboriously. Since the cartridges can only be inserted in two rows, the capacity of the transport tube is also very limited. A major disadvantage of this solution is that the sheet metal parts used can easily bend in the event of an impact or a fall so that the cartridges are clamped between the sheets in such a way that the belt can no longer run out of the bag tube without any problems.

Another transport container for cartridge belts is from the DE 657959C known. This is a rather bulky cartridge belt box, which has to be transported by hand and is also heavy, which is divided into compartments by means of folding plates and on which a machine gun adapter is arranged. After use, this heavy, empty box has to be laboriously transported to be refilled.

Furthermore, from the US6799500B1 also known quite bulky bag for machine gun ammunition, on the top, which consists of metal or plastic, an adapter is arranged, which allows a secure attachment to the associated machine gun. The side walls and bottom of this pouch are made from a wear and rot resistant woven fabric. The floor is with the Side walls connected by a circumferential zip. By opening the zipper, the bottom can be unfolded so that the pouch can be filled with ammunition. The disadvantage of this design is that it does not allow a flexible way of carrying it on the body, and therefore cannot be transported without problems and, moreover, can only be compressed to an insignificant extent when empty.

From the US2013319213A1 also discloses a container for machine gun ammunition which is also made of a wear and rot resistant woven material which in turn forms a rectangular container. The case includes a bottom, a front, a back, a first end and a second end, and a top flap, and is to be attached to a belt location. This causes poor weight distribution on the wearer's body. A major disadvantage is that the dimensions of the container are fixed, ie cannot be adjusted individually according to the respective degree of filling, and in addition the container can only be detached from the belt with a relatively high expenditure of time.

Another design of a container for machine gun ammunition is in the U.S. 2016 0313104 A1 prescribed. This is a flexible, rectangular container that has a rigid rectangular adapter attachment at its upper end for connecting a feed chute, an ammunition feed delivery system.

This container with the adapter attachment is carried using a carrying frame as a backpack ammunition system.

Since the dimensions of the carrying frame and also those of the adapter are fixed, i.e. remain the same regardless of the respective filling level of the ammunition container, this design has the major disadvantage that this design has a high transport volume after use, i.e. when emptied, and thus connected necessarily requires a high transport costs for refilling.

From the GB 2489116B is also a linked round carrying case for ammunition belts, which is similar to the solution after the US2455352A1 , is closed at a first end, has an opening at a second end and can be worn as a banderole. If necessary, this solution has a closing flap without an adapter in the area of the opening. The cover of this tote bag itself is made of a flexible material and shaped to form a triangular prism in cross-section, which has an openable fastener, such as a zipper, along the upper edge of the prism, extending from the first, the lower, the closed end, to the second, the upper end, the end with the opening.

Due to the geometric structure as a triangular prism, which has a closure that can be opened along the upper edge of the prism, the linear insertion of the belt, which is absolutely necessary for this bag due to the central arrangement of the zipper, is designed, i.e. the cartridge belt must be opened zipper is always laid out over the full length of the bag and, if necessary, can also be inserted into the bag "folded" one on top of the other, very difficult and time-consuming, especially since the shooter in combat operations often has to pack the ammunition for transport at very short notice.

Similar to the solution after the US2455352A1 With this solution, too, the width of the hose that accommodates the cartridges and is closed here by means of a zip fastener is greater than the length of an individual cartridge and should also be less than twice the length of an individual cartridge.

Despite these geometric boundary conditions, when using this carrier bag, especially if it is not held horizontally when carried, i.e. if the bag is carried as a banderole, which has become the preferred way of carrying in field use, the in the carrier bag stored ammunition belt moves freely within the pouch such that the cartridge belt cartridges accumulate at or near the bottom of the carrying pouch, ie away from the opening.

This problem always occurs to a greater extent when the maximum length of the belt no longer has to be stowed away during use, but only half the belt, for example.

Then the height of the bag is not reached and the ammunition belt wobbles around in the bag and can very easily jam and get caught there. Under these circumstances, the quick access to the cartridge belt, which is absolutely necessary in combat, is severely impaired.

The multiple linear superimposition of the entire ammunition belt over the respective length of the pouch also has the decisive disadvantage that the cartridges of the superimposed belt layers easily get caught with each other during rifle firing, which can easily result in the cartridge(s) becoming jammed in the weapon.

From the applicant GB 2489116B the teaching revealed there was further developed and in the EP 3111159 B1 revealed as a further development. The one in the EP 3111159 B1 revealed teaching is characterized in that at the already in the GB 2489116B disclosed, formed in cross section as a triangular prism tubular shell of the tote bag with the according to GB 2489116B zipper arranged along the upper edge of the prism, now in the EP 3111159 B1 additionally, in the covering area of the closing flap of the carrier bag below the opening of the carrier bag, a fabric strap was arranged as a fastening strap. This fixing belt, which encloses the cover flap when closed, can be looped tightly around the cover flap and the tubular carrying bag underneath using fasteners such as snaps and/or Velcro fasteners in order to improve the position of the cartridge belt in the bag.

This solution still has the disadvantage of a very difficult and time-consuming filling of the bag, which is already in connection with the teaching after GB 2489116B was explained.

The further development after EP 3111159 B1 also causes the fixation strap attached to the outside of the bag, by no means the desired one Can ensure the effect of an exact fixation / position securing of all cartridge belt lengths in the pocket.

The fixing strap attached to the outside of the bag represents an additional time-consuming operating obstacle, since it first has to be loosened when opening the bag in order to then get to the cartridge belt.

In addition, the fixation belt also harbors the risk that the shooter can get stuck on a wide variety of obstacles in the field.

Other disadvantages of the last two solutions are that both solutions have no adapters with which they could be fixed in position directly on the weapon, as well as the disadvantage that in both solutions the first cartridge is always attached to the pocket with a relatively small Velcro and fleece fastener is fixed. In the field, this has the consequence that the holding power of this small Velcro connection under the conditions of field use (dust, dirt and mud) is not sufficient to fix the first cartridge exactly, so that the first cartridge disappears in the pocket under the conditions of field use , and then remains "untraceable" in combat due to the short time available - this can, however, have serious consequences.

Proper cleaning of the firearms after each use is essential to ensure that the firearms also maintain their accuracy, safety and reliability.

To ensure that firearms are always ready for use, military personnel must also be able to clean their weapons in the field.

Therefore, military personnel need a lightweight and compact gun cleaning kit.

For example, in the US7841472B1 or the EP 2524187 B1 Such a firearms cleaning set, in the form of a case with belt loops, is described above, which can be opened by means of a zipper extending over three sides in such a way that the cover of the case is divided into two parts when open and is only connected along a folding line .

A special fastening element for an optionally exchangeable carrier plate is now arranged in the area of this folding line, which has cavities on one side for accommodating assembly tools and on the other side cavities for accommodating cleaning tools.

These receiving cavities can be designed in such a way that, depending on the respective requirements, special tools of the most varied designs or with differently shaped cavities are arranged in these receiving cavities.

The complete tool sets arranged in the weapon cleaning set can be exchanged simply by exchanging the carrier plates. Gun cleaning sets of this type can of course also be used to store individual cartridges.

However, as a container for carrier and belt feeding systems for machine guns, i.e. as a container for cartridge belts, in which from the container with an appropriate storage capacity, at high speed, without jams and misfeeds, a problem-free continuous reliable sequence of machine gun fire without jamming and hooking of the individual Cartridges under or with each other, must be guaranteed, such weapon cleaning cases are not suitable.

It is therefore the object of the invention to develop a bag for carrying an ammunition belt which is lighter and easier to use than the solutions currently offered in the prior art, which can be carried easily, safely and reliably by a person, flexibly on the body, and can also be easily stored and stowed away to save space when empty, and which at the same time is intended to eliminate all the disadvantages of the prior art solutions, which should even be fixed directly to the weapon if necessary using an adapter, which is also always a fast, reliable, lightweight accessible, optimal and safe fixation of the first Should ensure cartridge in the pocket, while at the same time can be easily and reliably adapted to different lengths (such as a remaining half belt length) of the cartridge belt, while always ensuring optimal fixation of the cartridge belt in the pocket, so that the cartridge belt is always in its position in the pocket is precisely fixed/secured and under no circumstances "wobbles around" in the pocket, while at the same time a very optimal arrangement and position securing of the cartridge belt in the pocket should ensure that the cartridge belt can be fired easily and reliably continuously without jamming or snagging of the individual cartridges under or with each other, ie without jams and misfeeds, can run out of the pocket at high speed in order to ensure a fast, problem-free, continuous and reliable sequence of machine gun fire.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by a bag for carrying an ammunition belt (1) according to the features of the main claim of the invention.

the, in the Figures 1 to 9 The bag according to the invention shown for carrying an ammunition belt 1 has the design of a tubular, flexible sleeve that accommodates the cartridge belt 1 and essentially consists of a woven fabric, and which is closed at one end, the lower end, with a bottom 2 of the bag At the other, the upper end, the bag is open, with a bag closure flap 3 being arranged in the area of the open end of the flexible, tubular casing, between the two ends a closure is arranged on the circumference, in the longitudinal direction of the tubular casing, which allows the casing to be opened allowed over their length.

According to the invention, a drainage eyelet 34 for drainage and better ventilation of the bag is arranged in the middle of the bag bottom 2 .

In the present embodiment, as in the figure 1 shown, this bag base 2 is rectangular and arranged at the lower end of a bag rear wall 4, and on the opposite side of this bag rear wall 4 of the bag base 2, a bag cover 6 is arranged.

It is essential to the invention that the tubular, flexible casing closed at the lower end with a rectangular bag base 2 on the face side has a rectangular cross-section, with a bag rear wall 4, two bag side walls 5 arranged on this bag rear wall 4 and located opposite one another and a rectangular bag cover 6 opposite the bag rear wall 4, and that this bag cover 6 has a zipper 12 on both sides, i.e. along both long sides the bag side walls 5 is connected. Because the bag according to the invention is equipped with two zippers, this bag can be opened very easily, with the operative connection with the rectangular shape of the bag according to the invention always ensuring optimal, quick and safe, preferably meandering, insertion of the cartridge belt 1.

However, it is also important that the sliders 35 arranged on the two zip fasteners 12 are connected to one another with their slider handles 36 via a detachable connecting strap 37 arranged on the two slider handles 36 .

Because the two zip fasteners are connected by means of a connecting strap 37, the bag can be opened very quickly.

It is thus possible to optimally insert the cartridge belt 1 into the pocket by the pocket side walls 5 arranged according to the invention on the pocket rear wall 4, as in FIG figure 8 shown, uses as a filling aid.

However, the two zippers 12, which are connected to one another in a detachable manner, can also be decoupled if necessary.

For this purpose, a buckle 39 is provided in the present embodiment, which allows both zippers 12 to be opened individually if necessary.

It is also characteristic that the material used for the different parts / components of the bag, whether for the bag base (2), the bag closing flap (3), the bag side walls (5), the bag cover (6), the bag cover (7), the internal volume reduction band (14), the compression tunnel (22), the carrying strap (17), etc., can be of the same type or different.

Essentially, the bag according to the invention consists of a woven fabric which is resistant to wear and rot, with all the materials of the components arranged in the bag, which can also be made of leather, Velcro, fleece or woven fabrics, by conventional methods used for Manufacture of bags, backpacks and containers for military use, such as sewing, riveting and/or gluing, to and from each other. It is also characteristic that special seams, such as the seam between the bag rear wall 4 and the bag side walls 5, can be designed, for example, as a fold seam 20 each, so that the bag is profiled/stabilized in its rectangular shape by these fold seams 20.

The rectangular shape "incorporated" into the pocket, which is very precisely predetermined by the folded seams 20, also makes the cartridge belt 1 even better in its position in the pocket, see figure 8 , fixed.

It is also characteristic that the bag closure flap 3 consists of a bag cover 7 adjacent to the bag rear wall 4 and closing the rectangular opening of the envelope, a fixing piece 8 adjacent to the bag cover 7 and a closure flap 9 adjacent to the fixing piece 8 .

In this exemplary embodiment, an adapter 29, on the bottom surface of which a hook tape fixing surface is arranged, is fastened in a fixed position on the rectangular surface of loop tape sewn onto the center of the fixing piece 8. By additionally attaching an adapter 29, which allows the pocket with the cartridge belt 1 to be held at the interface of the rifle, an optimal position of the cartridge belt 1 on/to the rifle is ensured. Since the inventive arrangement of the adapter 29 on the bag also makes it possible for the adapter 29 to be interchangeable, one and the the same bag according to the invention can also be used with several types of rifles.

It is also essential that a cartridge position securing plate 10 with a cartridge position securing clamping element 11 is arranged inside the pocket on the pocket cover 7, adjacent to the rectangular opening of the pocket.

The cartridge position securing plate 10 used in the present embodiment consists of a base plate made of leather which is provided with two through holes 38, whereby the cartridge position securing clamping element 11, in the present embodiment a round rubber, is passed through these two through holes 38 in such a way that its free ends are connected by means of knots and / or are firmly fixed in position together with the base plate by seams on the bag cover 7.

The "first" cartridge can according to the invention in the pocket, as in the embodiment, in the figures 8 and 9 shown, are fixed securely on the cartridge position securing plate 10 by means of the associated cartridge position securing clamping element 11, quickly, reliably and optimally accessible.

However, it is also important that one or more compression unit(s) 13 that pull together the rear wall 4 of the bag and the side walls 5 of the bag, if necessary, is/are arranged next to one another in the longitudinal direction of the bag.

Each of the compression units 13 shown in the exemplary embodiment consists of two compression eyelets 21 arranged opposite one another in the bag side walls 5 and one sewn onto the area of the compression eyelets 21, as well as the adjacent inner sides of the bag side walls 5 and on the inner side of the bag rear wall 4 lying in between, i.e. the area around and between the compression eyelets 21 covering in the form of a tunnel, compression tunnel 22, through which an in the compression eyelets 21 on both Bag side walls 5 outwardly exiting compression band 23 is arranged / runs.

It is advantageous if, as shown in the exemplary embodiment, cord stoppers 24 with actuating buttons 25 are arranged on the end regions of the compression band 23 protruding outwards in the compression eyelets 21 on both side walls 5 of the bag, and the compression band 23 is formed by a tensioning rubber.

In the present embodiment, two compression units 13 have been distributed over the length of the bag.

Since these are arranged inside the bag, there is no risk of the compression units 13 getting caught on objects. In addition, the compression units 13 according to the invention are quickly accessible from the sides and thus ensure rapid decompression when required, i.e. when in use, so that when gun fire is fired, the cartridge belt 1, which can be quickly decompressed, can be unloaded or unloaded continuously without any problems and without jamming and hooking the individual cartridges .with each other, can run out of the pocket.

The use of two compression units 13 already ensures, in the solution presented in the exemplary embodiment, an optimal securing of the cartridge belt 1 in the transport position in the bag according to the invention, i.e. the cartridge belt 1 can already be fixed/secured exactly in its position in the bag with two compression units 13 , so that it does not "wobble around" in the bag during transport. In accordance with the invention, however, an internal volume reduction band 14, which is about 5% to 10% narrower in width than the width of the rear wall 4 of the bag, is arranged inside the bag, the length of which is limited on the one hand by a fixing end 15 and on the other hand by a free end 16, with the Fixing end 15 inside the bag, on the bag rear wall 4, about 30% to 40% of the total length of the bag rear wall spaced from the bag bottom 2, firmly sewn, with the opposite free end 16, according to the each pocket volume required for the cartridge belt 1, steplessly, along the pocket cover 6, adjustable on the pocket cover 6, for example by means of Velcro fasteners, is fixed in position.

It is essential to the invention that the length of the internal volume reduction band 14 is approximately 70% to 90% of the length of the bag rear wall 4, with an inner fleece band 18 on the bag cover 6 inside the bag and on the adjacent surface of the free end 16 of the internal volume reduction band 14, an associated , with the inner loop tape 18 in operative connection, inner hook Velcro tape 19 is arranged.

The use of the internal volume reduction strap 14 according to the invention means that even the required internal volume can be easily and reliably adjusted steplessly to a wide variety of lengths of cartridge belts 1 in such a way that the internal volume of the pocket can be adjusted steplessly according to the different lengths (e.g. to a remaining half belt length) of the Cartridge belts 1 can always be varied in such a way that the optimum packing density for the respective length of the cartridge belt 1 in the bag can always be infinitely adjusted, so that the cartridge belt 1, no matter how long, reliably and precisely in the bag is always easily fixed in position and secured for transport can be.

It is also characteristic that a shoulder strap 17 is arranged on the outside of the bag, on the back wall 4 of the bag.

As a result, the bag according to the invention can be carried flexibly on the body by one person without any problems, safely and reliably.

A further feature of the invention is that a hanging loop 26 is arranged on the back wall 4 of the bag above the shoulder strap 17, i.e. in the direction of the bag closure flap 3, which makes it possible for the bag to be stored easily, i.e. sometimes "stored temporarily" on a hook. /appended.

According to the invention is also that a tab closure hook pad 30 is arranged on the closure flap 9, the outside of the Bag cover 6 is arranged in the contact area of the flap closure hook pad 30 when the closure flap 9 is closed, assigned to the flap closure fleece pad 31.

This ensures that the closure flap 9 according to the invention is always closed quickly, reliably and without any problems.

It is advantageous in this context that on the outside of the bag cover 6, in the contact area of the loop tape fixing surface arranged on the closure flap 9, on the fixing piece 8, a closure hook fixing surface 33 assigned to this surface is arranged.

When the adapter 29 is removed, the closure and closure retention force of the bag closure flap 3 on the outside of the bag cover 6 can again be significantly increased.

It is also important that a D-ring 28 is arranged on the back wall 4 of the bag at the free end of the bag closure flap 3 by means of a loop strap 27 .

This D-ring 28 ensures problem-free and reliable opening of the bag closure flap 3.

It is also characteristic that at the upper end of the bag rear wall 4 outside, in the contact area of the flap closure hook pad 30 on the bag rear wall 4 with the closure flap 9 open and "folded back", a flap position securing fleece pad 32 is arranged. The operative connection when the closure flap 9 is open and "rejected" is in the figure 9 shown, and ensures a safe and reliable adaptation of the bag according to the invention on a rifle.

The hook-and-loop fastener pairings used according to the invention in the present exemplary embodiment can, of course, also be used interchangeably on the components that come into operative connection with one another.

By means of the solution according to the invention presented here, it has been possible to develop a bag for carrying an ammunition belt 1 that is lighter and simpler than the solutions offered in the prior art is to be used, which can be worn flexibly on the body safely and reliably by a person without any problems, and can also be easily stored, and which eliminates all the disadvantages of the prior art solutions at the same time, if necessary can also be fixed directly to the weapon by means of an adapter can, in addition, always guarantees a fast, reliable, easily accessible, optimal and safe fixation of the first cartridge in the pocket, at the same time can be easily and reliably optimally adapted to the most different lengths of cartridge belts 1, with always an optimal fixation of the cartridge belt 1 in the pocket is guaranteed, i.e. that the cartridge belt 1 is always fixed/secured in the pocket exactly, no matter how long, so that it never "wobbles around" in the pocket, whereby the very optimal arrangement and position securing of the cartridge belt 1 according to the invention Bag at the same time ensures that at rifle fire the cartridge belt 1 smoothly and reliably continuously, without jamming and hooking the individual cartridges with each other, i.e. without jams and misfeeds, at high speed out of the pocket, so that a quick, problem-free, continuous and reliable shot sequence of the machine gun fire is guaranteed.
