Definitions
- Another known type of package provides an identical outer casing, but instead of an inner box with a grid insert, a bridge type perforated plate is disposed therein for the suspended arrangement and reception of the cartridges. Additionally, small lugs may be provided on the upper side of the perforated plate to engage the cartridges more firmly.
- a package box with a bottom section and a lid, if desired a retaining lid, with a grid insert or perforated plate within the bottom section.
- a package is provided for cartridges, particularly pistol cartridges, wherein a bottom plate is provided with pegs, studs, lugs, spikes or the like extending at right angles thereto and arranged in rows and columns to formtherebetween cartridge reice DCving chambers corresponding in effective cross-sectional areas to the caliber of the cartridges to be received therein.
- the height or length of the pegs is suitably selected so that the cartridges received therebetween and held thereby will extend outwardly beyond the pegs to such an extent that they may be conveniently grasped by hand and removed therefrom.
- the peg plate according to the present invention may be inserted in an inner box received telescopically within an outer casing; in such a case, the peg plate does not have to be provided with a rim.
- a retaining lid that is a lid having a downwardly extending circumferential rim, may be provided to cooperate with the bottom plate in the manner of a shoe box lid, for example.
- the height ofthe bottom plate may be reduced by providing the bottom plate with depressions or perforations extending therethrough between the pegs, for each of the cartridge receiving chambers for receiving therein one axial end of the corresponding cartridge.
- the cartridges are further securely held within the package by the depressions.
- care is taken with such a construction, utilizing perforations that the cartridges do not stand up with their tips.
- the depressions may extend completely through the bottom plate or only partially therethrough; in both cases, it is advantageous to shape the depressions in conformity with the shape of the cartridge tip to be received therein.
- bottom plate and pegs are constructed as one homogeneous integral piece, for example, by molding from a single blank of synthetic resin. With such a construction, it is particularly simple to adapt the crosssectional shape of the pegs to the cartridges, particularly if for some reason a circular cross-sectional shape of the pegs is undesirable. Also, it will be simple and advantageous to construct the pegs thicker toward the bottom or with any desired configuration.
- FIG. 1 shows a bottom plate with pegs according to the present invention
- FIG. 2 shows the bottom peg plate of FIG. 1, together with an external casing
- FIG. 3 shows a peg plate according to the present invention having a rim projecting from its entire circumference
- FIG. 4 illustrates the plate of FIG. 3, partially filled, together with an outer casing for receiving it;
- FIGS. 5 and 6 show additional modifications of the peg plate according to the present invention.
- FIGS. 7 and 8 show the plates of FIGS. and 6 in corresponding outer casings
- FIG. 9 illustrates a further modification of the bottom plate according to the present invention with a retainer type lid
- FIG. shows a modification of the FIG. 9 device.
- the bottom plate 1 is provided with a plurality of substantially parallel pegs 2 disposed at right angles thereto.
- the outermost pegs 2 are uniformly spaced from the edge of the bottom plate 1., so that when the peg plate is inserted in a conventional inner box 3 with a bottom and a rim 4 (FIG. 3), additional cartridges may be inserted between the rim 4 of th box 3 and the outermost pegs 2.
- the peg plate 1, 2 may be directly inserted into the outer casing 5. If the peg plate is inserted directly into the outer casing 5, the cartridges may then be received only within the cartridge chambers formed by the pegs; this would be in contrast to the insertion of cartridges between the outermost pegs and the rim 4 as shown in FIG. 3.
- the bottom plate 1, pegs 2, and inner box 3 of a single piece, for example, by molding a synthetic resin.
- a synthetic resin which can be molded easily and advantageously into a great variety of shapes according to many different methods.
- the box of FIG. 4, partially filled with cartridges 6, may be considered as an inner box 3 with the bottom plate 1 having pegs 2 inserted therein, or it may be considered as an integral construction; in the latter case, there will be no double bottom so that a corresponding simplicity and re duction in dimensions is obtained.
- the packaging may be completed by providing the outer casing 5.
- the bottom plate may be square as shown in FIG. 5, or it may be rectangular as shown in FIG. 6. In either case, the pegs 2 are provided along the outer edge portion of the bottom plate 1. As may be seen with respect to FIG. 5, for example, the outer pegs 2 may be weaker in their cross-section than the inner pegs 2, which is understood when it is realized that these outer pegs could be replaced by a thin walled rim extending around the plate to satisfactorily retain the outermost cartridges.
- the spacing between the individual pegs is correlated to the caliber of the cartridges so that the cartridges may be guided and securely supported therebetween, while at the same time assure the easy removal of the cartridges.
- the bottom plates according to FIGS. 5 and 6 are different from the bottom plates according to FIGS. 1-5 in that they have perforations 7 between the pegs 2. It is particularly desirable that these perforations 7 do not allow the cartridge tips to extend therethrough below the lowermost surface of the bottom plate 1, which would prevent or hinder the insertion of the bottom plate 1 into the outer casing 5 (FIGS. 7 and 8), particularly if the bottom plate 1 is freely supported. To provide for particularly secure support and guidance of the cartridges while at the same time providing a minimum of material to be used in the construction of the package, it is particularly desirable to construct the perforations so that the tips of the cartridges will be flush with the outer bottom wall of the bottom plate 1.
- FIG. 10 the edge of the retaining lid of FIG. 9 is practically combined with the bottom plate 1.
- the construction of FIG. 10 is similar to the construction of FIG. 9, in that the bottom plate 1 is provided with only depressions and not with holes extending all the way therethrough so that a fool-proof, secure package is obtained that will prevent damage to the cartridges by dirt or blows.
- this construction it is also possible to form the bottom plate, pegs, and inner box of a single, one piece construction, as well as constructing these elements as individual portions.
- the lid 10 may also be constructed as a retaining lid, with a depending rim or edge around its periphery extending along a shoulder or rim of the bottom plate.
- peg plates .1, 2 of a synthetic resin, particularly when molding it as a single piece, instead of providing a separate inner box, with a molded rim replacing the inner box.
- a separate inner box might be constructed of cardboard.
- the package is not limited to any specific type of cartridge or any particular caliber of cartridge.
- the package may be used to store cartridges that do not have a projecting bottom rim or flange.
- All of the bottom plates 1 shown in FIGS. l-IO may be provided with depressions extending partially therethrough or holes extending all the way therethrough for receiving the tips of the cartridges. It is contemplated that the constructions according to FIGS. 1-10 may be either multi-piece constructions or single piece constructions with respect to the bottom plate 1, pegs 2 and any rims.
- a cartridge package comprising: a plurality of explosive propellant-containing cartridges each having a rear primer end and an opposite forward tip, a bottom plate; a plurality of substantially parallel pegs extending at right angles to and being integral with said bottom plate in aligned rows and columns, said pegs being dimensioned and spaced apart forming uniform parallel chambers securely supporting and guiding said cartridges therein, said chambers conforming to the caliber of said cartridges, said bottom plate being provided with at least one depression between said pegs receiving the forward tip of a corresponding cartridge, so that said cartridges do not stand on said forward tips.
- the package according to claim 1 including an outer, upstanding rim extending around the outer circumference of, being integral with and extending at right angles to said bottom plate.
