CARTRIDGE-CARRIER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 8, 1908.

Application filed April 2,7, 1907. Serial No. 370,713.

' To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, VICTOR H. JENNINGS, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Worcester, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cartridge-Carriers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in cartridge-carriers, whether formed as a structural part of a belt or separately therefrom for detachable connection therewith, and the object is to provide a carrier or belt having a novel construction of cartridge pockets whereby the cartridges may be readily removed therefrom individually.

With the above object in view, the invention consists in the novel features of construction hereinafter fully described, particularly pointed out in the claims, and clearly illustrated by the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a view of a portion of a carrier constructed in accordance with my invention, the flap being open to show the construction of the pockets, and Fig. 2, a horizontal sectional view.

Referring now more particularly to the drawing, the numeral l designates the body of the carrier having the closing flap 2 and formed with pockets 3 to receive packages of cartridges, (for example, ten cartridges as ordinarily packed), and pockets 4 having formed upon their front andrear walls series of cells or compartments 5 of such size as to receive individual cartridges, the carrier being formed of woven material. The closing flap 2 is secured in its closed position by means of ordinary snap-fasteners. The depth of the individual cells or compartments issuch that the heads of the cartridges project a sufficient distance beyond the upper edge to be readily grasped between the iingers and removed. The cells of one series are disposed o posite to the intervals between the cells o the other series, and the two series of cells normally lie in close relation. They are capable of separation to facilitate the withdrawal of the cartridges by the distension of the outer wall of the pocket. This separation of the two walls of the pocket carries the series of cells formed on the inner side of the front wall of the pocket a sufficient distance away from the series of cells carriedA by the inner side of the rear wall of the pocket to permit the individual cartridges to be quickly and readily removed. Normally however the two series' of cells are brought together in close relation and the flap closed thereby forming a very neat and compact structure.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is

l. A cartridge carrier of woven material comprising a cartridge pocket closed at its lower end and having a front and rear wall each provided with cells or compartments for individual cartridges, said cells being open at the open end of the pocket to receive the cartridges, the cells of one series being disposed opposite to the intervals between the cells of the other series and the two series of cells normally lying in close relation but capable of separation to facilitate withdrawal of the cartridges by the distension of the outer wall of the pocket.

2. A cartridge carrier of woven material comprising a cartridge pocket having a front and rear wall each provided with cells or compartments for individual cartridges, the cells of one series being disposed opposite to the intervals between the cells of the other series and the two series of cells normally lying in close relation but capable of separation to facilitate withdrawal of the cartridges by the distension of the outer wall of the pocket, and a covering flap for covering the two series of cells when the latter are in close relation.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.

' VICTOR H. JENNINGS.
