Definitions
- the present invention relates to firearms, and more particularly to a magazine for a box magazine.
- a magazine is an ammunition storage and feeding device within, or attached to, a repeating firearm.
- the magazine functions by moving the cartridges stored in the magazine into a position where they may be chambered by the action of the firearm.
- Most magazines designed for use with a reciprocating bolt firearm utilize a set of feed lips which stops the vertical motion of the cartridges out of the magazine but allows one cartridge at a time to be pushed forward (stripped) out of the feed lips by the firearm's bolt into the chamber.
- Some form of spring and follower combination is almost always used to feed cartridges to the lips, which can be located either in the magazine (most removable box magazines) or built into the firearm (fixed box magazines). As the firearm cycles, cartridges are moved to the top of the magazine by a follower driven by spring compression to a feed position. In most firearms, the magazine follower engages a slide-stop to hold the slide back and keep the firearm out of battery when the magazine is empty, and all rounds have been fired. Box magazines may be integral to the firearm or removable.
- a detachable box magazine is a self-contained mechanism capable of being loaded or unloaded while detached from the host firearm. They are inserted into a magazine well in the firearm receiver usually below the action, but occasionally positioned to the side or on top. When the magazine is empty, it can be detached from the firearm and replaced by another full magazine. This significantly speeds the process of reloading, allowing the operator quick access to ammunition.
- Conventional rifle or pistol box magazines have a magazine catch with an open void rectangular feature near the front wall.
- the purpose of the magazine catch is to provide a feature for a magazine latch on the host firearm to engage to ensure retention of the magazine inside the firearm's magazine well.
- a push button located on the firearm's body releases the magazine latch from the magazine catch to enable removal of the magazine from the magazine well when the push button is fully depressed.
- the various embodiments of the present invention substantially fulfill at least some of these needs.
- the magazine with guard element according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of providing a magazine with guard element that prevents a magazine latch from interfering with movement of the follower and ammunition within the interior space of the magazine.
- the present invention provides an improved magazine with guard element, and overcomes the above-mentioned disadvantages and drawbacks of the prior art.
- the general purpose of the present invention which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide an improved magazine with guard element that has all the advantages of the prior art mentioned above.
- the preferred embodiment of the present invention essentially comprises a tubular body having a lower end and an upper end and defining an interior space, the body having opposed lateral sidewalls, and opposed front and rear walls, at an intermediate portion along the length of the body between the upper and lower ends, a sidewall defining a magazine catch opening, the magazine catch opening having an upper limit including a downwardly-facing ledge surface configured to engage a latch, and a recessed guard element at the magazine catch opening configured to prevent intrusion of the firearm latch into the interior space.
- the recessed guard element may protrude into the interior space.
- the tubular body may have a wall thickness adjacent to the recessed guard element, and the recessed guard element may have the same wall thickness.
- the tubular body may be formed of an articulated sheet.

Abstract
Description
- This application is a Continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/774,572 filed on Jan. 28, 2020, entitled “MAGAZINE WITH GUARD ELEMENT,” which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all that is taught and disclosed therein.
- The present invention relates to firearms, and more particularly to a magazine for a box magazine.
- A magazine is an ammunition storage and feeding device within, or attached to, a repeating firearm. The magazine functions by moving the cartridges stored in the magazine into a position where they may be chambered by the action of the firearm. Most magazines designed for use with a reciprocating bolt firearm utilize a set of feed lips which stops the vertical motion of the cartridges out of the magazine but allows one cartridge at a time to be pushed forward (stripped) out of the feed lips by the firearm's bolt into the chamber.
- Some form of spring and follower combination is almost always used to feed cartridges to the lips, which can be located either in the magazine (most removable box magazines) or built into the firearm (fixed box magazines). As the firearm cycles, cartridges are moved to the top of the magazine by a follower driven by spring compression to a feed position. In most firearms, the magazine follower engages a slide-stop to hold the slide back and keep the firearm out of battery when the magazine is empty, and all rounds have been fired. Box magazines may be integral to the firearm or removable.
- A detachable box magazine is a self-contained mechanism capable of being loaded or unloaded while detached from the host firearm. They are inserted into a magazine well in the firearm receiver usually below the action, but occasionally positioned to the side or on top. When the magazine is empty, it can be detached from the firearm and replaced by another full magazine. This significantly speeds the process of reloading, allowing the operator quick access to ammunition.
- Conventional rifle or pistol box magazines have a magazine catch with an open void rectangular feature near the front wall. The purpose of the magazine catch is to provide a feature for a magazine latch on the host firearm to engage to ensure retention of the magazine inside the firearm's magazine well. In order to remove the magazine from the host firearm, a push button located on the firearm's body releases the magazine latch from the magazine catch to enable removal of the magazine from the magazine well when the push button is fully depressed.
- Some firearms, particularly rifles, have especially aggressive magazine latches that can overextend past the magazine catch and protrude into the interior space of the magazine. If the magazine latch protrudes sufficiently far into the interior space of the magazine, the magazine latch can interfere with movement of the follower and ammunition within the interior space, which is undesirable.
- Therefore, a need exists for a new and improved magazine with guard element that prevents a magazine latch from interfering with movement of the follower and ammunition within the interior space of the magazine. In this regard, the various embodiments of the present invention substantially fulfill at least some of these needs. In this respect, the magazine with guard element according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of providing a magazine with guard element that prevents a magazine latch from interfering with movement of the follower and ammunition within the interior space of the magazine.
- The present invention provides an improved magazine with guard element, and overcomes the above-mentioned disadvantages and drawbacks of the prior art. As such, the general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide an improved magazine with guard element that has all the advantages of the prior art mentioned above.
- To attain this, the preferred embodiment of the present invention essentially comprises a tubular body having a lower end and an upper end and defining an interior space, the body having opposed lateral sidewalls, and opposed front and rear walls, at an intermediate portion along the length of the body between the upper and lower ends, a sidewall defining a magazine catch opening, the magazine catch opening having an upper limit including a downwardly-facing ledge surface configured to engage a latch, and a recessed guard element at the magazine catch opening configured to prevent intrusion of the firearm latch into the interior space. The recessed guard element may protrude into the interior space. The tubular body may have a wall thickness adjacent to the recessed guard element, and the recessed guard element may have the same wall thickness. The tubular body may be formed of an articulated sheet. There are, of course, additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims attached.
- There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated.

FIGS. 1-5 illustrate the improved magazine withguard element 10 of the present invention. More particularly, the magazine withguard element 10 has atubular body 12 having anupper end 14, alower end 16, and defines aninterior space 18. The tubular body also has opposed front andrear walls right sidewall 24 and left sidewall 26). At least one of the opposed lateral sidewalls defines a magazine catch opening. In the current embodiment, the right sidewall defines a right magazine catch opening 28 at a rightintermediate portion 66 along the length of the body between the upper and lower ends, and the left sidewall defines a left magazine catch opening 30 at a leftintermediate portion 68 along the length of the body between the upper and lower ends. Each magazine catch opening has an upper limit including a downwardly-facing ledge surface (right downwardly-facingledge surface 32 and left downwardly-facing ledge surface 34) configured to engage a firearm latch 36 (shown inFIG. 6 ). Each magazine catch opening has a recessed guard element (rightrecessed guard element 38 and left recessed guard element 40) configured to prevent intrusion of the firearm latch into the interior space. The right downwardly-facing ledge surface is immediately above the right recessed guard element. The left downwardly-facing ledge surface is immediately above the left recessed guard element. - In the current embodiment, the right and left
recessed guard elements interior space 18. Thetubular body 12 has a wall thickness adjacent to the right and left recessed guard elements, and the right and left recessed guard elements have the same wall thickness as the tubular body. The tubular body is formed of an articulated sheet, and the right and left recessed guard elements are portions of the articulated sheet deflected internally into the interior space. Thus, the tubular body and the right and left recessed guard elements are an integral sheet of metal. The right recessed guard element is connected at aforward end portion 42 andrear end portion 44 to the tubular body, with the forward end portion connected to thefront wall 20 and the rear end portion to theright sidewall 24. The left recessed guard element is connected at aforward end portion 46 andrear end portion 48 to the tubular body, with the forward end portion connected to thefront wall 20 and the rear end portion to theleft sidewall 26. The forward end portions are parallel to their associated sidewall. - The right
recessed guard element 38 has anupper edge 50 and alower edge 52. Thetubular body 12 defines anupper slit 54 above the right recessed guard element and alower slit 56 below the right recessed guard element. Thus, the tubular body is separated from the right recessed guard element by at least one of the upper and lower edges. Similarly, the leftrecessed guard element 40 has anupper edge 58 and alower edge 60. Thetubular body 12 defines anupper slit 62 above the right recessed guard element and alower slit 64 below the right recessed guard element. Thus, the tubular body is separated from the left recessed guard element by at least one of the upper and lower edges. - The
tubular body 12 includes a rightupper ramp element 70 and a rightlower ramp element 72 adjacent to the right recessedguard element 38 and a leftupper ramp element 74 and a leftlower ramp element 76 adjacent to the left recessedguard element 40. The ramp elements each provide a transitory slope between the recessed guard element and an interior surface vertically proximate the recessed guard element. The upper ramp elements are above their associated recessed guard elements, and the lower ramp elements are below their associated recessed guard elements. In the current embodiment, the ramp elements are each a deformed portion of the articulated sheet, which results in each ramp element having the same thickness as the associated recessed guard element. The right upper ramp element is separated from the right recessed guard element by a gap in the form ofupper slit 54. The right lower ramp element is separated from the right recessed guard element by a gap in the form oflower slit 56. The left upper ramp element is separated from the left recessed guard element by a gap in the form ofupper slit 62. The left lower ramp element is separated from the left recessed guard element by a gap in the form oflower slit 64. Each of the ramp elements has a triangular form in the current embodiment. -
FIG. 6 illustrates the improved magazine withguard element 10 of the present invention. More particularly, the magazine withguard element 10 is shown in a fully assembled, partially loaded condition with amagazine latch 36 received by the leftmagazine catch opening 30 and contacting the left downwardly-facingledge surface 34. Afloor plate 78 is removably attached to thelower end 16 of thetubular body 12. Afollower 80 is closely received within theinterior space 18 of the tubular body. Twocartridges 82 are positioned on the top 84 of the follower. The follower urges the cartridges upward to theupper end 14 of the tubular body under the influence of a coil spring (not shown) also received within the interior space of the tubular body. - As can be appreciated in
FIG. 6 , the left recessedguard element 40 prevents themagazine latch 36 from penetrating sufficiently far into theinterior space 18 of thetubular body 12 to obstructed movement of either thecartridges 82 or thefollower 80 during the loading of cartridges or the stripping of cartridges during firearm operation. Furthermore, the right and left upper andlower ramp elements right side 86 and leftside 88 of the follower and the case exteriors 90 of the cartridges to pass over the right and left recessedguard elements - In the context of the specification, the terms “rear” and “rearward,” and “front” and “forward” have the following definitions: “rear” or “rearward” means in the direction away from the muzzle of the firearm while “front” or “forward” means it is in the direction towards the muzzle of the firearm.
- While a current embodiment of a magazine has been described in detail, it should be apparent that modifications and variations thereto are possible, all of which fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention. With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention. For example, the magazine of the current invention is suitable for use with rifles as well as the pistols described.
- Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
