  • metals are contemplated for this use, thermoplastic synthetic materials have been particularly desirable.
  • a particularly advantageous specific embodiment employs a cartridge case composed of synthetic material and having therein a primer composition insensitive to friction or shock, which is ignited only be means of an electric current.
  • a particularly advantageous connection between the propellant cartridges and the band is provided by employing a plurality of recesses serially arranged along the length of the band at uniform spacings.
  • the propellant cartridges will have a correspondingly shaped projection for reception in the band recesses, respectively. It is particularly desirable to have the recesses extend all the way through the thickness of the band for a reception of correspondingly dimensioned projections on the propellant cartridges so that the bottom of the propellant cartridge will be flush with the bottom surface of the band.
  • a propellant cartridge employing an electric primer may be connected by extending the terminal wires from the base through the band and bending them over against the band to thus clamp the propellant cartridge to the band.
  • a suitable bonding may be provided between the propellant cartridge and the band, particularly be welding the primer base to an unperforated cartridge clip band.
  • a saving in material can be obtained by forming the primer bases in one piece with connecting webs, which form the band.
  • the same advantages are also obtained by connecting two primer bases with two propellant powder cases by means of a web and then producing a continuous strip from a predetermined number of such components by merely connecting the identical components serially with each other. This has the considerable advantage that from a plurality of identically prefabricated parts, a band of any desired length may be produced in accordance with a particular requirement.
  • propellant cartridge having a case made entirely of metal This may be accomplished by providing a force fit between the recesses of the band and the propellant cartridge cases or bases.
  • the pressing step used to form the rim or fold may be employed to firmly attach the respective propellant cartridge to the band with the rim or fold acting as a flange abutment preventing removal of the propellant cartridge from the band.
  • the empty propellant cartridge cases that remain after firing may remain attached to the band and travel with the latter during successive shots.
  • a band of any desired length could be formed by welding or otherwise attaching a plurality of shorter bands to form a single strip.
  • the cases and bases may be pressed respectively into each other or joined by any other suitable means.
  • FIGS. 1 and la show respectively a side elevation view and a top view of a band employing a plurality of propellant cartridges secured to the band by welding;
  • FIGS. 2 and 2a show respectively a side elevation view and a top view of a band carrying a plurality of propellant cartridges attached thereto by having the electric lead wires of the electrically ignited primer extending through and clamped on the band;
  • FIGS. 3 and 30 show a band integrally formed with a plurality of case components, particularly primer bases, connected together by webs formed in one piece therewith;
  • FIGS. 4 and 4a are side and top views of another embodiment of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 3a;
  • FIG. 5 shown another band fonned of serially connected component pairs
  • FIGS. 6 and 6a are top and side views of a band having propellant powder receiving cups or cases formed in one piece with the band;
  • FIGS. 7 and 7a are side and top views of another embodiment of the propellant cartridge carrying band of FIGS. 6 and 6a;
  • FIGS. 8 and show an embodiment of a primer composition base constructed of synthetic material for an electrically ignitable cartridge to be employed with the band.
  • a band I carries thereon a plurality of primer receiving bases having their portions 4 provided with a reduced diameter portion received in a correspondingly shaped recess or aperture in the band 1 for securement therewith by means of bonding, particularly ultrasonic welding.
  • the propellant cartridge case is connected to the base 3 by suitable means, which may be of any conventional construction.
  • the same type of propellant composition carrying case and primer carrying base of FIG. 1 is employed in the embodiment of FIG. 2; except that the connection between the band 1 is different.
  • the connection between the propellant cartridges and the band 1 is provided by the lead wires 9 of the electrically ignitable propellant cartridge, which lead wires extend through the band 1 and are bent over to clamp the propellant cartridges to the band 1.
  • a suitable welding or other bonded connection may be provided between the propellant cartridge case portions and the band 1.
  • the cartridge clip may be formed from a plurality of case bases 3 that are connected with each other in one piece by means of integral webs 6 to form a serial chain.
