of reference marked thereon, to be a full,
clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this application, and represent, in- Figure 1 a broken plan view of a machinegun feed-belt constructed in accordance with my invention and in part filled with cartridges.

My invention relates to an improved machine-gun feed-belt, the object being to pro- .duce a superior belt Provided with special means for the frictional retention of the Copies of this patent may be obtained for cartridges therein, whereby they are prevented from falling out of the belt when the same is being handled, or after the same has been applied to a gun, the belt being particularly adapted for use in connection with machineguns carried by air planes which when in use, are subject to excessive vibration, tending to dislodge the cartridges.
With these ends in view, my invention consists in a machine-gun feed-belt having one or more cartridge-retaining friction strandssuperimposed upon the inner faces of its cartridge-receiving pockets so as to produce raised points of contact for the cartridges. My invention further consists in a machine-gun feed-belt having certain details of construction as will be hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.
Specification of Letterslatent.
Patented Mar. 5,1918.
Application filed December 28, 1917. Serial No. 209,208.
In carrying out my invention, as shown in Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive, I superimpose oppositely located cartridge-retaining strands 4 upon the inner faces of the cartridge-receiving pockets 5 of the belt which may be of any approved construction, the said strands being parallel with the length thereof. As shown, the strands 4: are secured in place by loops 6 thrown around them at intervals during the weaving of the belt, but I do not limit myself to any particular mode of securing the strands in place. By preference the strands will be made of thread impregnated with asphalt or some other adhesive substance, If preferred, however, I may employ wirestrands which, on account of being superimposed upon the inner faces of the pockets, will have the effect of frictionally retaining thecartridges 7 in place. In the modified form of my improved belt shown in Fig. 4, I employ two pairs of oppositely located strands 8, and hold myself free to employ one or more strands as found expedient.
I claim 1. A machine-gun feed-belt having one or more cartridge-retaining strands superimposed upon the inner faces of its cartridgereceiving pockets for frictionally retaining the cartridges therein.
2. A woven machine-gun feed-belt having one or more cartridge retaining strands superimposed upon the inner faces of its cartridge-receiving pockets and held in place by loops produced in the weaving of the H. A. Porr,
