Definitions

  • This invention relates to cartridge clips of the enbloc type adapted to hold a double row stack of cartridges arranged in staggered relation, and one of the objects of the invention is to provide a reversible clip of this character so that it may be charged with its stack of cartridges either end up into the magazine of the gun.
  • the clip may be made of any suitable material but is preferably formed of spring metal so as to provide spring pressed sides which will hold the stack of cartridges with a clamping pressure and, together with the cartridges, constitute a firm packet for being carried outside of the gun as well as for being charged into the magazine.
  • the present clip is adapted for use in a magazine type of gun having a suitable follower for feeding the cartridges upwardly through the clip into position for being loaded. Accordingly, the present clip is designed for the proper holding and guiding of the cartridges therein during the above feeding operation.
  • the clip is preferably provided with means adapted to coact with elements of the gun for holding the sides of the clip in spread relation during said feeding operation and to prevent the contraction of the clip sides upon a partially depleted stack after one or more of the cartridges have been loaded therefrom.
  • Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the clip and stack of contained cartridges forming a packet
  • Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken along line 2-2 of Fig. 1 to show more particularly the retaining portions and holding shoulders of the clip ings
  • the clip preferably made of spring metal, comprises a back 1 with spring pressed sides 2 and 3 extending forwardly therefrom and providing a receptacle for a stack of cartridges which will be open at the top, front and bottom thereof.
  • the back and sides of the clip are preferably of thin metal out out in places for lightness and suitably stiffened as required by upset stifiening ribs thereof.
  • the cartridges (C 0 C etc.) are held within the clip in staggered relation, as shown, to form a double row stack and the universal character of the clip is such that it will make no difi'erence in its function whether the two rows of cartridges are stacked right-handedly in the clip (as shown in Fig. 2) with the right row in higher position, or whether the clip is filled left-handedly with the left row in higher position.
  • the back of the clip at its top and bottom is cut out at 4, 5 (as shown) to provide passage for the loading element of the gun (viz.
  • the back of the clip may be provided at a central position thereof with a latching.
  • shoulder 6 adapted for engagement with a suitable retaining latch of the gun (not shown) in holding the clip in the magazine.
  • Each of the sides 2 and 3 of the clip is exactly alike in shape and form. Referring to side 2, this has an integral inwardly eX- tending curved portion 7 at its upper end and a similar portion 8 at its lower end, which portions 7 and 8 serve as cartridge retaining portions.
  • the side 3 has similar and oppositely facing cartridge retaining portions 9 and 10, respectively.
  • a holding shoulder 11 for a cartridge formed by an outwardly upset recess portion 12 in said clip side Spaced approximately by the radius of a cartridge from the upper end of the side 2 is a holding shoulder 11 for a cartridge formed by an outwardly upset recess portion 12 in said clip side.
  • a similar shoulder 13 with recess 14- is provided adjacent the lower end 8 of said clip side 2, also similar shoulder 15, recess 16, shoulder 17 and recess 18 are formed on the clip side 3 adjacent the upper end 9 and lower end thereof, respectively.
  • each clip side 2 and 3 Projecting from the forward edge of each clip side 2 and 3 and also preferably midway between top and bottom of said sides are narrow lips 19 and 20, each with an inwardly projecting bump 21 and 22 formed by upsetting said metal inwardly.
  • the purpose of these projecting portions and bumps 19, 21. and 20, 22 is to provide means for preventing the contraction of the sides of the clip when one or more of the cartridges are removed therefrom in loading. It will be understood that these projecting bumps 21 and 22 will be engaged by elements of the gun (not shown) when the clip is inserted in the magazine thereof and will coact with said elements either to spread apart slightly the sides of the clip and relieve the tension thereof on the contained stack of cartridges or be merely held in position against contraction.
  • Each side of the clip 2 and 3 has formed thereon adjacent the back 1 a vertically extending and inwardly projecting rib 23, 21, which ribs are adapted to engage in the usual manner behind the extracting shoulders of the cartridge bases.
  • the cartridges are provided with grooves at their bases adapted to be engaged by said ribs 23, 24 and thus assist in holding the cartridges firmly in the clip.
  • a full stack of cartridges held within the clip may be disposed therein as indicated in Fig. 2 and it will be observed that the top cartridge of the stack is engaged by the cartridge retaining portion 7 of one side 2 and the bottom cartridge of the stack by the cartridge retaining portion 10 of the opposite side 3,also that the next to the top cartridge will be engaged by the holding shoulder of the side 3 and the next to the bottom cartridge will be engaged by the holding shoulder 13 of the side 2. It will further be noted that the inward pressure of the portion 7 upon the top cartridge throws it slightly to the left from the line of its column and that the next to the top cartridge is likewise thrown slightly to the left of the line of its column, whereby said latter cartridge seats partially within the recess 16 and thus be comes more securely engaged by the holding shoulder 15. A similar. action occurs with the bottom cartridge and the next to the bottom cartridge in connection with the respective lower portions of said clip.
  • a suitable follower of the gun (indicated in dotted lines at F, Fig. 5) will exert an upward pressure upon the stack and feed the same upwardly step by step as each'successive cartridge is picked off the top thereof.
  • a special form of follower should be employed having a switchable upper step portion such as is shown and described in my copending application Serial No. 339,916, filed February 14, 1929.
  • a reversible enbloc clip for holding a double row stack of cartridges arranged in staggered relation, said clip comprising a back and two spring pressed sides extending forwardly from the back to embrace said stack with a clamping pressure, the opposite sides of said clip each having a cartridge retaining portion at the top and bottom of said clip, together with cartridge holding shoulders, one of said shoulders being located adj acent each of said retaining portions, whereby the stack held in said clip will have the top and bottom cartridges engaged by the retaining portions of opposite sides and the cartridges next to the top and bottom respectively will be engaged by the holding shoulders of opposite sides of said clip.
  • a reversible enbloc clip for holding a double row stack of cartridges arranged in staggered relation, said clip comprising a back and two spring pressed sides extending forwardly from the back to embrace said stack with a clamping pressure, the opposite sides of said clip each having an inwardly turned integral portion at the top and bottom of said clip together with cartridge holding shoulders, one of said shoulders being located adjacent each of said inturned portions, whereby the stack held in said clip will have the top and bottom cartridge engaged by the inturned portions of opposite sides and the cartridges next to the top and bottom respecl tively will be engaged by the holding shoulders of opposite sides of said clip.
  • a reversible enbloc clip for holding a double row stack of cartridges arranged in staggered relation, said clip comprising a back and two spring metal sides extending forwardly from the back to embrace said stack with a clamping pressure, the opposite sides of said clip each having similar inturned integral portions at the top and bottom of the clip, together with upset recess portions forming shoulders, one of said shoulders being located adjacent each of said inturned portions, whereby the stack held in said clip will have the top and bottom cartridge engaged by the inturned portions of opposite sides and the cartridges next to the top and bottom respectively will be engaged by the shoulders of the recesses at opposite sides of said clip.
  • a reversible enbloc clip for holding a double row stack of cartridges arranged in staggered relation, said clip comprising a back and two spring pressed sides extending forwardly from the back to embrace said stack with a clamping pressure, the opposite sides of said clip each having a cartridge retaining portion at the top and bottom of said clip, together with cartridge holding shoulders, one of said shoulders being located adjacent each of said retaining portions, whereby the stack held in said clip will have the top and bottom cartridges engaged by the re taining portions of opposite sides and the cartridges next to the top and bottom respectively will be engaged by the holding shoulders of opposite sides of said clip, each side of said clip also having near its forward edge and midway between its top and bottom a projecting portion adapted to be engaged by elements of the gun when inserted therein for preventing the contraction of said sides of said clip upon the removal of a cartridge from the stack in loading.
