In Great Britain November 9, 1938 r Claims. (01. 89-34) This invention relates to an ammunitionbox .or magazine for machine guns and is primarily intended for .usev with machine guns mounted in aircraft, but suitable for other purposes where it is required to minimise space for ammunition, or to operate guns from remote control. The inven: tion is particularly applicablefor use where a number of machine guns are mounted close to-, gether side by side in the wings or other suitable parts of an aeroplane. V 7
An example of a suitable construction of ammunition box for machine guns according to this invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein: p
, Fig. 1 is a sectional side elevation view.
Fig. 2 is a plan view.
Fig. 3 is an end elevation view, and V Fig. 4 is a sectional side elevation view showing the box in use.
Referring to the drawings, the ammunition box or magazine shown is particularly suitable for use with machine guns in aeroplane wings and other locations where a large number of cartridges are to be accommodated in proximity to a gun to be supplied, and in which itis desirable to utilise the minimum of space for this purpose. Thebox comprises a rectangular trough l of sheet metal or other suitable material closed. at its top by a tray-like lid 2 adapted to befirmly secured to the box and formed on the lower edges of itsside walls with two longitudinal flanges 3 with headed free edges 4 to afford handles for lifting the closed box. The lid is preferably secured by'a pair of transverse pins 5 and 6 slidably engaged in co-operating aligned tubular parts. la and 2a on the ends of the box and lid respectively. This enables the lid to be swung up about either end of the box by selecting the pin to be removed from the end of the lid which is to be swung upwards.
The box I is arranged of a size to accommodate a considerable number of layers of cartridges 1 by folding the belt or strip of cartridges backwards and forwards along the length of thepammunition box. In one example seven or eight such layers may be accommodated thus providing for approximately 250 to 300 rounds of arm munition. In order to prevent the ammunition from piling up at oneend of the ammunition box and thus'interfering with the free feed of the machine gun, one or more suitable retaining devices is'or are provided in the ammunition box or-magazine. Such retaining devicesmflay comprise a hinged or pivoted flap 8 suitably loaded so that its free "end willbe pressed upon the up- ,prlayers of-the belt orstrip of ammunition.
Each retaining fiapmay be pivoted at or near one end, preferably to the lid of the ammunition box as by :means of lugs 9 on the lid, and may be spring loaded, e. g., by a torsion spring 10 so that its free end will be resiliently pressed upon the upper layer of the strip or belt of ammunition. The free end of the retaining flap may be suitably curved as at 8a, or otherwise shaped so as to permit the strip or belt of ammunition to move freely past it in the direction of the length of the strip or belt. In one or both ends of the ammunition box may be provided a suitably inclined deflector plate II or alternatively the end or ends of the ammunition box may themselves be inclined at asuitable angle. This deflector plate, which. may be a V shaped strip secured to the box I by flanges Ha, is inclined downwardly forwardly at the front end of the box and is about in relation to the lid so that it maintainsthe cartridges uniformly staggered along the box. This prevents the cartridgesfrom piling up haphazardly when the aeroplane is diving or effecting steep manoeuvres. In Fig. 4 the box is shown inclined to illustrate this feature.
The ammunition box or magazine is provided with a suitable lid preferably hinged at or near one end'so that iti'may be raised to give access to the interior ofthe ammunition box or magazine for the purpose of loading it witha strip or belt of ammunition'or for inspection of the ammunition already therein. A shallow compartment or channel I2 through which the strip or belt of ammunition is fed from the box or magazine is formed in or mounted upon the inner face of the lid of the box. The entry I3 from the ammunition box or magazin to this shallow compartment or channel is preferably arranged at or .near the centre of the length of the box and suitable roller I4 or other antifriction device is arranged at the point of entry to the channel and. another'roller I5 contacts with the upper side of the" line of cartridges just in front of the roller M. This upper roller I5 can" be housed in a transverse channel section cover plate l5a' fixed to the lid in juxtaposition to a part cylindrical mound in the lid which is concentricwith the roller l4 and spaced from such roller a distance slightly greater than the maximum diameter of a cartridge. If desired the roller Hi can be grooved to accommodate the flanges at the bases of the cartridge cases, and also if desired the rollers may be slightly coned to correspond approximately with the taper of the cartrldgecases and bullets.
The lid is formed with an outlet opening it at its front end, such i opening being covered by a hood or funnel l! in which the line of cartridges is reversed in direction of travel by being drawn over a roller 18 in the hood or funnel I1 and concentric with an arcuate corner Ha of the hood or funnel. This roller l8 may be grooved and/or tapered as proposed in connection with the roller I 4.
The hood or funnel I! has an oblong section outlet mouth l'lb through which the cartridges may be drawn directly to the gun, or if desired this mouth can receive as a push-on fit the rear end of an arcuate oblong section chute l9 whereby the cartridges can be traversed through substantially a right angle and be delivered to the gun breach individually parallel and-in aligr'x-- ment with the axis of the breech. This has the advantage that the box I can be located close alongside the gun and located in a plane parallel with the axis of the gun barrel, thereby obviating a laterally extending magazine, this being desirable where a number of guns are to be located close to each other. The outer end of the curved chute is formed with clips or lugs to engage with the appropriate part of the gun.
The chute l-9' is preferably curved downwardly swan-neck fashion beyond the adjacent side wall of the box I, as shown in Fig. 3 to ensure an easy and smooth surface for the cartridges to travel along, and one or more rollers 2| is, or are, provided at the inner bend of the chute to form an abutment or abutments for the points of the bullets, the cartridge case flanges travelling close to the larger radius bend of the chute.
When the lid of the ammunition box or magazine is turned about its hinge at one end the whole of the interior of the ammunition box or magazine will be readily accessible and the entry to the shallow compartment or channel will also be readily accessible for threading one end of the strip or belt of ammunition into it. By
detaching the curved chute the strip or belt of ammunition may be drawn through the shallow compartment or channel and then passed through and around the curved chute which is then secured in position to the outlet end of the channel. The free end of the strip or belt of ammunition is then" available for feeding to the magazine of the machine gun.
