EUGENE E. HILDE BRANDT 565 0115021, Seffle, arr Mahler HrrYS. acmzq United States Patent 3,286,890 SHOT GUN CARTRIDGE AND EMPTY SHELL BOX Eugene E. Hildebrandt, 20993 Lujon Ave., Northville, Mich. Filed Oct. 21, 1965, Ser. No. 499,659 Claims. (Cl. 224-17) This invention relates to shot gun cartridge and empty shell boxes and deals particularly with a device for supporting a series of cartridges or shot gun shells in position and the storage of used cartridge shells.
In skeet and trap shooting and in certain kinds of hunting it is necessary for the shooter or hunter to reload quickly in order to maintain the desired progression of shooting, or in hunting to enable him to fire the maximum number of shots at a flock of birds. It is also desirable to provide convenience in handling shot cartridges and the empty cartridges or shells which the shooter or hunter may wish to retain for reloading. The ability to reload shot gun shells reduces the cost of the shells to such a point that skeet and trap shooting are becoming increasingly popular.
It is therefore an object of my invention to provide an improved holder for cartridges which when in use supports the shells or cartridges in a horizontal plane one above the other in rows parallel to each other so that the cartridges may be quickly removed one at a time by sliding same upwardly.
Another object of my invention is to provide an' improved holder for cartridges and have provision associated with the holder to reecive, transport and store used cartridges for reloading.
Other objects of this invention will appear in the following description and appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification wherein like reference characters designate corresponding parts in the several views.
A further object resides in the provision of an improved shot gun shell storage case which can readily be stacked for storage, and which when in use may be supported on a users belt to position the shells horizontally for use, and wherein the cover for the case provides a convenient storage space for used shells which may be reloaded.
In the drawings:
FIGURE 1 is a side view partly broken away of my improved shot cartridge and empty shell box embodying my invention and showing the cover thereof in lowered, ready for use position in dotted lines;
FIGURE 2 is a front view partly broken away of the device shown in FIGURE 1;
FIGURE 3 is a top view, partly broken away, of a portion of the device shown in FIGURE 1; and
FIGURE 4 is a top view of the device shown in FIG- URE 1.
Before explaining the present invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and arrangement of parts illustrated in the accompanying drawings, since the invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced or carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology or terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description and not of limitation.
In accordance with my invention I have produced a shot cartridge and empty shell box having provisions for the retention of twenty five shot cartridges or shot gun shells by a support which is readily attachable to a persons waist belt or other garment by a clip. It further provides for complete housing of the cartridges or transportation and for easy removal of the cartridges one at a time while retaining the others. It also includes an at- Patented Nov. 22, 1966 tached cover which may be moved to such position while the device is aflixed to the user, the cover remaining mouth open to receive empty shells. After all cartridges have been removed from their supported position the cover may be closed housing the empty shells to provide for convenient storage and transportation.
The device is designed primarily for shot gun target shooters such as skeet and trap shooters to provide convenience in handling loaded sh-ot cartridges and the empty shells which the shooters might choose to retain for reloading.
Referring to the drawings the numeral 10 designates in general my improved shot cartridge and empty shell box, which is constructed of plastic. The box 10 includes a vertically extending supporting member 12 which is provided with upstanding guides or T shaped flanges 14 which provide spaced apart undercut sections 16 providing guideways for receiving the rims 18 of shot gun shells 20. The supporting member 12 is formed with stops (not shown) at the bottom of the guideways to retain the shells in position until removed. As will be noted in FIGURE 2 the shells are stored vertically in rows of five shells, these being five rows. The shells are stored horizontally and at right angles to the supporting member 12.
A cover 26 is hinged as at 30 to the supporting member 12 at the lower part thereof. The cover 26 carries spaced apart resilient prongs 32 which are formed integrally with the cover 26. The supporting member 12 includes a clip 40 formed integrally therewith. The clip consists of a blade 42 and a pair of laterally disposed side blades 44 which can be projected inside of the wearers belt 46 or other garment. When the cover 26 is closed the prongs 32 engage the blade 42 to latch the cover by snap action so as to prevent accidental opening of the cover. When it is desired to open the cover it is moved outwardly from the blade 42 with the resilient prongs 32 moving past the sides of blade 42. The cover 26 then swings downwardly to assume the position shown in dotted lines in FIGURE 1.
As shown in full lines in FIGURE 1 the length of the cover. meaning the vertical dimension shown in'full lines in FIGURE 1, is longer than the shells 20 so as to extend beyond the end of the shells a considerable distance as shown in dotted lines in FIGURE 1 so as to provide a large space for receiving empty shells. The cover when lowered to this position has the mouth or opening on a substantially horizontal plane to receive the empty shell and store same in the cover 26. The hinged end of cover 26 rests against the users body.
When the cover is lowered as shown in FIGURE 1 the shells 20 may be readily removed by simply moving them upwardly one at a time for use. The used shell is placed in the cover and when all of the shells have been fired the shooter merely closes the cover to the snapped position whereupon the empty shells are readily available for the next reloading operation.
Although only preferred forms of the invention have been illustrated, and those forms described in detail, it will be apparent to those skilled in the :art that various modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention or from the scope of the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A shot cartridge and empty shell box comprising a vertically extending supporting member having vertically extending ribs to provide guideways to receive the rims of cartridges and support the same at right angles to said member, a cover secured to said supporting member by a hinge at the lower part thereof to permit the cover to be lowered with the cover having an opening on a horizontal plane for receiving used cartridges, a latch at the upper part. of said member and a clip thereabove for securement of said member to the garment of the user.
