Definitions

  • This invention relates to revolver cartridge holders and, in particular to holders which'are so arranged as to discharge all its cartridges simultaneously into the rotatable cylinder of a revolver.
  • Hitherto cartridge ejection clips have been rather bulky articles necessitated by the fact that they must conform generally to the shape 'of the revolver cylinder which the clip is designed to load.
  • the present invention contemplates the provision of a clip which can be compressed when disposed in its carrying case and on removal therefrom is automatically expanded into a state in which all its retained cartridges are positioned for simultaneous ejection into the cartridge chambers of the revolver. In this state a single finger manipulation permits the cartridges to fall simultaneously into the chambers of the revolvers barrel cylinder.
  • One object of the invention is to provide an expandable cartridge clip.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an expandable cartridge clip which permits simultaneous ejection of the cartridges.
  • FIGURE 1 is a plan view in partial section showing the cartridge holder in loading position taken on the line 11 of FIGURE 2;-
  • FIGURE 2 is a vertical section showing the holder and cartridge partially inserted in the revolver cylinder taken on the line 22 of FIGURE 1;
  • FIGURE 3 is asection taken on the line 3-3 of FIGURE 4;
  • FIGURE 4 is a vertical section taken on the line 44 of FIGURE 3;
  • FIGURE 5 is a plan section taken on the line 5-5 of FIGURE 2;
  • FIGURE 6 is a fragmentary section on enlarged scale showing the displaced parts in dot and dash line in position to permit cartridge ejection;
  • FIGURE 7 is a plan view partially in horizontal section showing the holder in compacted condition within a carrying case
  • FIGURE 8 is a horizontal section similar to FIG- URE 7.
  • the cartridge clip whether in open or closed condition is adapted to retain a plurality of cartridges which, in the instant case is six.
  • the clip is fabricated of spring metal which can be distorted when necessary into a compact state for carrying in a case and upon withdrawal from the case will automatically expand into its normal position in which the six cartridges are naturally aligned for entry into their corresponding chambers of a revolver cylinder.
  • the clip or holder comprises abasic support member in the form of a ring 10 which supports in a depending manner at its inside periphery a wall 12 which partially embraces each of the six cartridges.
  • the inner portion of the ring 10 and the upper end of the wall 12 snugly fit about a portion of the top flange of each cartridge C.
  • top flange of the cartridges is also held on the side opposing the wall 12 by a lip 15 at the free end of the arms 16 which overlie the ring 10.
  • Each arm is provided at its other end with a column 18 which is secured to the wall 12, and a horizontal extension 20 which is disposed interiorly of the column 18.
  • cylinders 22 Disposed between two cartridge embracing areas of the wall 12 on opposing sides of the ring and secured to the underside thereof are cylinders 22 having a metallic base 23 with inverted spring receiving chambers 24 integrally secured to legs 25 which secure the cylinders 22 to the base 23.
  • a compression spring 26 and a plunger 28 are provided in each cylinder a compression spring 26 and a plunger 28 atop the spring and threaded into an aperture 30 of cartridge ejection cap 32.
  • the cylinders 22 are slotted at 29 in which pins 29a are inserted to prevent the cap from falling out of the clip.
  • the cap 32 is provided with a centrally located depending member 34 having a tapered opening 36 formed in its bottom surface.
  • a centrally located depending member 34 having a tapered opening 36 formed in its bottom surface.
  • metallic springs 38 Arranged to coact with the annular edge of the'tapered opening 36 and having an angular configuration indentical to the taper are metallic springs 38 each of which has a vertical section 39 afiixed to the wall 12.
  • the cartridges are linearly arranged in the holder in two rows of three each for carriage in a compact manner within a cartridge case 33.
  • opposing extensions 20 of opposing arms 16 are reduced at 41 to prevent interference.
  • the cartridges will automatically expand into circular conformation which is due to the expansion of flat spring 42 having two normally outwardly biased legs 43 which are securely aflixed to opposing areas of wall 12.
  • the cartridge holder In operation the cartridge holder is removed from its case and expands into the open or loading position under the influence of spring 42. The cartridges are then partially inserted into their respective chambers within the rotating cylinder of the revolver. The ejection cap is then depressed to expel all the cartridges fully into the cylinder. The ejection is accomplished by freeing in consecutive stages the holders grip on the cartridge flanges and shell bodies as the cap is depressed. First the arms 16 are pivoted on the inner edge of the ring 10 due to contact between the top projections of the annular shoulder of the ejection cap 32 and the arm extensions 20 extending inwardly from the ring. The pivoting of the arms causes the lipped ends to release their hold on the cartridge flanges.
  • cap ejector Further depression of the cap ejector causes the six cams 38 to engage the tapered opening 36 in the bottom of the cap so as to draw the cartridge gripping areas of the wall 12 inwardly and free of the cartridges C top flanges and shell bodies.
  • the flat spring being at rest and not exerting any outward pressure on the wall areas embracing two of the cartridges, all the cartridges are now free to fall of their own'weight into the aligned chambers in the revolver cylinder.
  • a cartridge holder having plurality of cartridge gripping elements, an outwardly spring biased member engaging at least two of said elements and adapted to cause the cartridges retained by said elements to assume a circular conformation, a ring supporting said elements, each of said gripping elements comprising a pivotal arm for gripping one portion of the cartridges, and a wall member for gripping an opposing portion of said cartridges, and an upwardly biased ejection cap having means for pivoting said arms and releasing said cartridges from the wall members, a pair of cylinders, plungers in said cylinders and secured to said cap.
  • a cartridge holder as defined in claim 1 in which said ejection cap is provided with an annular shoulder for simultaneously pivoting said arms and said wall members are provided with cam surfaces adapted to be engaged by said cap for simultaneous releasing of the cartridges retained by said wall members.
  • a cartridge holder comprising a plurality of elements for gripping cartridges about one portion thereof, an expandable support for said elements, a spring biased member engaging said elements and adapted to cause the elements held by said expandable support to expand from a linear to a circular conformation, and moveable means
