tion will become apparent from the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing which show the invention in its present preferred form and in which:
Fig. l is a side view of the clip and its contained cartridges as a complete packet;
Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the packet along line D-D of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a rear View of the empty clip;
Fig. 4 is a front view of the empty clip;
Fig. 5 is a top view of the empty clip;
Figs. 6, 7 and 8 are horizontal sections of the empty clip taken respectively along the lines AA, BB and C-C of Fig. 1.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, the clip as a whole is indicated by the numeral I and the cartridges as 2. These cartridges are of the usual form, slightly tapered as shown and having grooved bases (not shown) for extraction after firing.
The clip is designed to hold the cartridges in a double row stack with one row higher than the other, the cartridges being in staggered relation, those of each row resting one upon the other and mutually engaging the cartridges of the other row, as clearly shown in Fig. 2. When the clip is full and ready to be charged into the gun magazine, the stack of cartridges will be tightly held in the compact form shown by a spring clamping action of the clip. The clip comprises a back 3 V and two sides 4 and 5 which may be conveniently formed from a one piece stamping of spring metal. The sides 4 and 5 preferably converge in a forward direction toward one another and are,
spring tempered to firmly clamp the contained stack of cartridges and impart ala'tertal pressure thereon. The back 3 and the sides 4 and 5 being preferably of thin metal are suitably stiffened by the upset ribs 6, I, 8 and 9 and cut-out openings are made therein for lightness.
The sides 4 and 5 are each formed at their upper ends with inturned portions I and II, preferably symmetrical and at the same eleva tion to act alternately as the upper rest for the higher row of the stack as the same is fed upwardly in the clip by a feeding follower of the gun (not shown). A latching shoulder 29 is provided on the back of the clip adapted for engagement byalatch of the gun (not shown) for retaining the clip in the magazine.
It will be understood that in the operation of a gun with a clip of this character, the bolt or breech closure during its forward movement will 10' pick off the topmost cartridge alternately from 7 each row for loading and that a suitable follower of the gun engaging the bottom of the stack will raise the stack in the clip after the removal of each cartridge from the top thereof. It is not deemed necessary to show such mechanism of the gun but for an example of such a construction reference is made to'my co-pending application Serial No. 197,718, filed'June 9, 1927.
The sides 4 and 5 of the clip are each formed at their lower ends with spring acting inturned portions I2, I4 on one side and I3, I5 on the other side. The portions I2, I4 are positioned some-.
what lowertha'n portions I3, I5 and'said respec- H tive side portions provide the bottom rest for the lower and upper rows of the stack. The narrow tongue-like portions I4 and I5 particularly are designed to imparta vertical pressure on a full stack contained in the clip, whereby in conjunction with the lateral clamping pressure previously described'a firmly held packet is obtained. At the rear of each side 4 and 5 and adjacent the back areformed inwardly projecting ribs ZI and 22 which'extend'verticaily (as shown in Fig. 1) from a point near the bottom of the clip to a point slightly more spaced from the top. These v ribs ZILand 22 are adapted to engage in the grooves, i. e., in front of the extracting shoulders at the bases of the cartridges (not shown), and helpto retain the cartridges in the clip and pre vent their falling or shaking. out when carried as .a packet. Preferably the-ribs 2I, 22extend high enough to just miss engaging the extracting groove of the .top cartridge of 'an upper row, 7 7
and I1 is made by upsetting the metal outwardly slightly to form shoulders l8 and I9, one for each clip side 4 and 5, respectively. The function of the shoulder l8 will be described and it will be understood that shoulder l9 acts in a similar manner when its adjacent row of cartridges is the lower one.
It will be observed in Fig. 2 that the upper row of cartridges is engaged both at the top and bottom by the inturned. portions H, and l3, l5. The lower row on the other hand is engaged at the bottom by the inturned portions l2 and 14,. but is spaced from the upper clip portion Hi. The stop shoulder I8 is therefore provided to engage the top cartridge of the lower row to prevent possible dislocation of this top cartridge due tothe upward pressure from'beneath the stack. which is occasioned when the stack is full (and either in or out of the magazine) by thespring portions l2, l4 and l3, l5, and when the stack is being fed upwardly by theworking. pressure of the follower (not shown) The stop shoulder l8 furnishes a sufficient check against any tendency of its engaged top cartridge to tip upwardly under the pressure described and yet will permit said top cartridge to easily ride past the same into engagement with the upper inturned portion l0 after the top cartridge of the higher row has been picked. off in loading. The shoulders l8 and [9, therefore, act alternately as a check stop for the top cartridge. of the lower rowiof the stack during the. feeding operation of the fol-- lower. In use, it is found that the lateral pressure of the clip sides will throw the top cartridge. of the higher row very slightly to the left and cause. the top cartridge of the lower row to. seat partially in the recess [6, behind the shoulder i8, and thus provide the effective stop desired.
Various modifications of the structure as shown are obviously possible without departing from. the spirit of the invention. as hereinafter claimed- Lclaim:
