'CARTRlDGE-CLlPt SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 770,497, dated September 20, 1904.- Applination fil d November 27, 1903. Serial No. 182,896. (No model.)

To all whom git may concern/.

Be it known that}, EDWARD O. Goss, a citiz'envof'theUnite'd States, residing at Waterbury, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Cartridge-Clips,

' ofwhioh the following is a full, clear, and ex- .je'nd the inventionconsists, specifically stated, -in a clip the case of which has its lips made on. the spring inserted in the case to hold the spring in place in the case it happens that the tongues slip underthe lips, and thus the spring has a longitudinal movement which tends to disarrange the cartridges. I

The object of the present invention is to provide against such displacement; and to this concave, so that while they project up into the case and path of movement of the springs tongues and ,serve to lock the spring in position they prevent the springs tongues from passing beneath them, and so prevent any end wise movement of the spring after it is once snapped into position. I

In the accompanying drawings, illustrating the invention, in the several figures of which like parts are similarly designated, Figure 1 isja perspective view of the clip. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the case. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the spring. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section of the clip. Fig. 5 is a transversesection in front of one of the lips.

The case 1 and spring 2 may be of any approved construction excepting as hereinafter specified. I

WWTHT The case 1 has the lips 3 cut from its bottom 4 near' opposite ends and projecting in opposite directions and concaved transversely from the upper side, so that while the free ends of these lips project above the level of the bottom of the case the lower levels of the concave portions are practically on a line with the upper level of the bottom of the case, and

hence while they serve to engage the free ends of the tongues 5 on the spring 2, and so look the spring to the case, they prevent said tongues from passing beneath them or between them and the bottom of the case, and

thus immovably lock the spring in place, or, in other words, prevent the accidental and ob ectionable lengthwise movement of the spring relatively to the case, and so prevent disarrangement of the cartridges when placed in the clip.

'VVhile I prefer to concave the lips 3, and thus make them the obstructing members, still these lips might be made straight and the tongues concaved, or both the lips and the tongues might be made concave or either of them concave and the other convex, or the same obstructive result might be accomplished by otherwise deforming either or both elements.

What I claim is- 1. A cartridge-clip, comprising a case and a spring having oppositely-projecting interlocking elements in the form of lips and tongues, one of these elements bent transversely to insure endwise engagement with the other element and preclude passing beyond the same, whereby relative longitudinal movement of the spring and case is prevented.

2. A cartridge-clip, having a case provided with oppositely-arranged upwardly-projecting transversely-concaved lips, and a spring having tongues adapted to interlock with said li s.

3. A cartridge-clip, having a case provided with lips projecting inwardly from its bottom and eoncaved transversely so as to bring their iny hand this 23d day of November, I). lower levels substantially on a level with the 1903. level of the bottom of the case, and a spring I r having tongues adapted to engage such lips, ARD (1055' 5 whereby thespring is held against longitudi- Vtitnesses:

nal movement in the case.
