CARTRIDGE BELT FOR MACHINE GUNS.

WILHELM WOLF, OF GllTERSLOI-I, GERMANY.
CARTRIDGE-BELT FOR MACHINE-GUNS.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, VVILHELM Now, a subject of the German Emperor, residing at Giitersloh, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in and Relating to Cartridge-Belts for Machine- Guns, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a cartridge belt for machine guns. Such belts have hitherto been made in such a manner that finished woven bands were turned down on one side and a cord was sewn into the fold thus produced, whereupon two belts each with a bead on one side, were placed one over the other and brass strips were riveted on both sides at equal distances apart. The manufacture of these belts is very expensive and requires considerable time. It is also known to make cartridge belts from two strips of fabric sewn together at certain distances apart. Such belts are however not adapted for machine gun an'imunition, because the uniting seams do not afford the necessary tightness and the pockets and their distances apart are not exactly equal.
The subject matter of the present invention relates to a cartridge belt for machine guns, wherein the two strips of fabric are woven at equal distances apart. Since such cartridge belts can be manufactured in one single operation and exclusively by weaving, the manufacture is thus considerably cheaper. Notwithstanding the very light weight of the belt, it is very strong especially at the connecting points and the pockets and their distances apart are exactly equal. Owing to these qualities, such cartridge belt is adapted especially for machine gun ammunition.
The idea of uniting fabrics on the loom by stitching or fasteneing same together is not new and is not claimed as an invention.
Two constructional forms of the invention are shown in the accompanying drawing.
Figure 1 is a plan of a portion of a cartridge belt with an inserted cartridge; Fig. 2 is a section according to line 2-2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is another form of Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed August 12, 1912-.
Patented J uly 22, 1913.
SeriaI No. 714,620.
construction and Fig. 4: is a cross-section according to line H of Fig. 1 or 3.
The two strips of fabric a, which are strengthened or reinforced at the sides by woven in cords Z), whose thickness increases toward the edges (Fig. l), are woven together at equal distances apart at c, whereby pockets d are formed, wherein the cartridges f can be inserted. In order that the conical shells employed as machine gun ainmunition may be given a special support, the fabric can be enlarged at the connecting or uniting points 0 toward one side, so that the pockets contract conically on this side (Fig. 1) The cords b woven in at the edges of the strips of fabric strengthen the cartridge belt, effectively protect the same against tearing, firmly hold the cartridges and facilitate the insertion of the cartridges and the guiding of the cartridge belt when firing. The cartridge belt is made with the uniting strips of fabric 0 and the strengthening pieces 7) in one single operation in the loom.
I claim:
1. A cartridge belt for machine guns comprising two strips of fabric woven together strongly at equal intervals during their manufacture in the loom to form a plurality of pockets, and woven-in cords located around the ends of said pockets.
2. A cartridge belt for machine guns comprising a plurality of strips of fabric woven together at equal intervals, and a plurality of woven-in cords disposed around the ends of said pockets and increasing in thickness toward said ends.
3. A cartridge belt for machine guns comprising aplurality of fabric strips woven together at regular intervals to form a series of pockets, the woven portions connecting the strips being enlarged at one end so that each pocket has a conical restriction.
In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
WILHELM WOLF.
