' 4citizen f'4 thev United States, residing at Slfpringfieli4 Massachusetts, .have invented certain new and use Cartridge-Holders, of which thefollowing is a clear, full, and exact description.

Alsojif one of the-prongsor side portions of a recess becomes broken throu hV roughfiuse, the deviceis for supporting the remaining shells.. The recess portions of my device lare also made-sulliciently thin compared with the width ,ot the the cartridge shells "to permit a s htplay, whereby any distortion of the ho der does not prevent an e insertion of the shell all'ambers as described in m revious patent referred to. y invention will be defined in the claims.

In the embodiment shown in the drawings, Figure 1 is an end elevation of my cartridge helder showing a few cartridges supported therein, the head of one of said cartridges being removed; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of a revolver cylinder showing the position of a holder thereon;' 3 is' a. cylinder section showing the action of the extractor u n the holder in removing the same "with t e empty shells; Fig. 4 is a ful Improvements in\ pron ooves of g modified vfor'in fof cartridge in combination with my holdergiFigs. 5 and 6 are diierent similar section to Fig.' 2nfbut showing la' vsliownjn Fig. 4.

The outer ends of'eacli pair of prongs vor side portions 6 of the recess form an entrance or mouth 9 slightly narrower than the seat portionf'of said recess,l and ,this mouth Iis also smaller than; the diameter 'of the bottom of the groove 11 ,in,the `cartridge suic'ient size to retainthekfhell securely ycartridge shellis entering'the recess and re'- ,turnsto normalfpositin when; ythe shelly has been inserted, thereby' retaining itfthere'in. Although 1 have shown" in the present einbodment both' of they prongs or sidey portions 6 of the recess' as resilient it is obvious that my object will be obtained without departin from the spirit of my invention, by ma in only' one side portion of each recess in t is manner, as shown in my modification Fig. 6 in which 2F designates the central aperture, 5* the annular portion, and 7 the recess seat. In this form only one of the side portions of the recess, such as 17, is made resilient. Fig. k5 shows one of 'the preferred forms of my holder in which the side ortions 16.l of the recess are made broader or the purpose of affording a more substantial sup rt when resting against the face of the cy inder.
