UNITED STATES i PATENT OFFICE.
\VILLTAM R. LIVERMORE AND ANDR-ElV H. RUSSELL, OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 278,980, dated June 5, 1883.
Application filed August 21, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, WILLIAM R. LIVER- MORE and ANDREW H. RUssELL, both of the United States Army, jointly have invented an Improved Cart-ridge Case or Holder, of which the following is a specification;
Our cases are designed for carrying cartridges for magazine-guns, and are so constructed that they serve as means for feeding the cartridges to the guns. The cases can be made of any suitable size for any required number of cartridges, and are to be carried in the belt or up 011 the person of the soldier. The class of guns with which they may be used, is well known, and is illustrated in our Patent No. 221,079, granted October 28, 187 9.
\Ve are aware that cartridge-cases designed for such purposes are old; but our improved cases are different in construction andoperation from any heretofore made.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective-view of a cartridge-case iilled with cartridges. Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 a section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.
The caseAmay be made of light sheet metal, card-board, or other suitable material, and is preferably formed in a single piece. The blank from which it is made may be stamped or cut out of the requisite contour, so that when fol ded it will present the shape illustrated iuthe drawingsthat is, the top of the box is formed of two wings, B B, which are folded down to meet the side flaps, C C. A continuous slot. or opening, (I, is left up the side and across the top of the case. The bot-tom is open, and the cartridges are preferably inserted at that end and retained therein by a clrecktongue, E, which may be a direct continuation of the solid side of the box, or may be an independent'piece secured thereto. The case should of course be made of the most appropriate shape to hold tridge is larger than the projectile end one side of the box is preferably made correspond ingly larger than the other.
Upon reference to Fig. 3, which shows the as we'prefer to make it, it will be seenthat i the back of the case 0 is crimped or bent in, and that the flap C is correspondingly inclined inwardly, so that the cartridges are pinched or clamped between them, and are thus held in place under slight tension. \Vhile we prefer to make the boxes of this shape, we do not limit ourselves, so far as the primary feature of our invention is concerned, to this or any particular cross-section of box.
The check-tongue E may be either a springtongue, so far as some features of our invention are concerned, about non-resilient tongue, or a retainer of any kind, the sole requisite being that it shall have sufiicient strength or tension to normally hold the cartridges in place in the case for transportation and generalhandling, but when a gun is being loaded will yield to pressure upon the cartridges and permit them to pass into the receptacle ot' the gun. in loading a gun the thumb or finger may be placedupon the top cart-ridge anda sufficient pressure exerted to force the ca ridges past the tongue into the magazine.
By forming our improved case with a slot extending entirely up the side and across the the cover of the bog, the thumb may be placed on the upper cartridge and carried down e111 tirely through the side slot, thus positively forcing all of the cartridges from the case. Of course any kind of a retainer in the bottom of the boxto be removed or operated in any way may be used in connection with a case thus formed.
The primary features of our invention consist, first, in a cartridge-case having a continuous slot which extends up the side and across the top, forthe purpose set forth; and, second, in such a case a check or tongue at the bottom which ordinarily retains the cartridges in place, but will yield to a direct p ressure uponthe. cartridges in loading. \Ve. there fore do not limit ourselves to the above-described or any special method of making the zases.
For transportation.these cases may be covered with paper or cloth pasted or otherwise fastened to them, the coverings being preferably removed when the cases are placed in the-\ belt of the soldier for use.
'tion, but limit ourselves tot-he subject-matter.
set forth in the following claims.
Having thus described ourinvention, what we claim as new isi 1. The improved cartridge transporting or packing case herein described, formed with a continuous open slot which extends up the side and across the cover of the. case which prevents the escape of the cartridges, and a retainer at the; bottom or entrance for holding the cartridges ingplace in, the. yase.
2. A cartridge transporting-or packing case for feeding magazine-guns, which lllOlOSOS the cartridges and has its bottom closed by. a nonresilient yielding tongue, which is curved to partly embrace the lower cartridge transvc'rselyto its length, and which ordinarily holds the cartridges in place in the. case, but will yield without recoil to a direct pressure upon the uppereartridge and permit them to pass into the gun.
3. The combination, substantially as set forth, of a cartridge-case having a continuous slot extendingup the side and across theeovenr thereof, witha tongue or check which ordinarily holds the cartridges in place in the case, but will yield when pressure is applied to the cartridges and permit them to pass out of the case.
4. The. herein-described cartridge-case,formed from a single piece of metal, with the retainer E, top wings, B B, and side flaps, C C, folded, as shown, to receive the cartridges and leave a continuous slotv up one side and across the cover.
5. A cartridge t-ransportin g and feeding case for magazine-guns, contracted transversely at or about its middle in line with its length, so as to pinch or clamp the cartridges transversely and hold them under tension, as described.
6, The combination, substantially as herein set forth, of a cartridge-case formed with a con tinnous slot extending up its side and across.
its-top, and'having its back criniped or bent in and its front flap inclined inwardly, so that the cartridge is clamped between the flap and back, and a tongue or check which ordinarily holds the cartridges in place in the case, but permits them to pass from the case when pressure is applied to them.
In testimony whereof we have h eunto subscribed our names.
