AMMUNITION-BOX.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 8, 1914.
Application filed June 25, 1912. Serial No. 705,715.
1! b all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRIEDRICH SAOHTLE- Ban, residing at Essen-on-the-Ruhr, Germany, a subject of the Emperor of Germany,
have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in AmmunitiomBoxeis, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to boxes for artillery ammunition and aims at the use of only one box, utilizing the space in the best pos sible Way, either for transportation of projectiles, together with the powder charges belonging thereto, or for transportation of made-up ammunition. Naturally the boxes are intended for projectiles and powder charges or made-up ammunition for one and thesame gun. Two different kinds of ammunition boxes have heretofore been necessary for transportation of ammunition.
One embodiment of the invention is represented in the drawing where a portable ammunition box is shown which is intended either for the transportation. of three mine shells, together with the necessary powder charges or for the transportation of four shrapn'els in their cartridge-cases.
In Figure 1 is shown a front elevation partly in section of the ammunition box with contents. Fig. 2 a top view of the same ammunition box empty and in section on lines 2-2 of Fig. 1. i
The ammunition box A provided with the lid A wherewith it can be closed, is divided into two chambers A and A by a partition ings f. The size of the uppermost of the circular openings 7 corresponds to the diameter of the cartridge case E of the shrapnel, while the middle and lowerof these openings f have a measurement that corresponds to the caliber of the body'of-the projectile,
band of the same are in Fig. 1 denoted by dot and dash lines; the rest of the shrapnel Which is identical with the forward part of the mine-shell is denoted by solid lines. The openings may also, as has been shown in Fig. 1 by solid lines, receive a mine-shell C instead of the shrapnel-cartridge E.
The square shaped openings f, which are all of the same size, serve as hearings for a receptacle G provided with two handles 9 which may containeither thrcc powder charges I) or one shrapncl car tridge E. For carrying the.powdcr charges are provided three openings g one above the other at one of the narrow sides of the receptacle G, which openings are made to suit the forward diameter of the case of the powder charge; and at the opposite narrow side are provided three openings g, made to suit the rear diameter of this case. The arrangement of these parts is such that the powder charges when resting in the bearings formed by the openings 9 and will abut against the partition B with the bottom d of the charge case D. A. lid H grips over each of the openings g and these lids are so shaped, as will be seen from the drawing, that they abut against the cover (Z of the charge case I), when said cases are'placcd in their bearings 9", 9, so that they are socured against displacement, Fig. 1. In order to place a shrapnel-cartridge E, in place of the powder charge cases 1) (the former shown in Fig. 1 by dot and dash lines) in the receptacle G, this receptacle is provided at the top with a circular opening g, the diameter of which is suited to the cartridge ose. Furthermore there are provided, between the bearings and g circular contractions in the receptacle G for the powder charges, the inner diameters of which correspond to the caliber of the projectile. As will be seen from the drawing, the hear ing space of the shrapncl-cartridge E penetrates the bearing spaces of the powder charges I).
The chamber A of the box shown on the right hand side of the drawing, contains, at the-same level as the frames F, three other frames J, which are each provided with two circular openings 2'. These are shaped and arranged in the same manner as the circular openings f of the frame F, so that the chamber A may receive either two mine shells or two shrapnel-cartridges. As will be evident from the above, either three caseshots, together with the cartridges belon ing thereto may be packed in the described ammunition boxes (in the bearings f and 9 g respectively) or else four shrapnels with cartridge-cases (in the bearings f g and i The powder charge bearings 9 g and the cartridge bearings and 9 need not necessarily be arranged in. a removable receptacle of the ammunition box. It might be mentioned, that if the chamber for the ammunition box were situated to the left of the chamber A instead of to the right thereof (as in the drawing), it would only be necessary to have the partition B removable in order to gain admittance to the pow der charges D.
As the receptacles G have been made removable, as represented in the embodiment of the invention shown in the drawing, for the obvious reason of having the powder charges accessible, this object may equally well be ttained, by this second embodiment, if the bearings g 9 g and g were made fast in the ammunition box.
I claim 1. An ammunition box having a chamber with a set of bearings adapted to receive an assembled projectile and cartridge, and in the same chamber a plurality of secondary flogpiea oi this patent may he obtained for five cents each, by at'lt essilng the fiemreisstaner of 2 sets of'bearings, each secondary set adapted to receive a single cartridge, the axis of each secondary set of bearings running transversely to the axis of the first set of bearings, in combination with a tlird set of bearings, said third set being adapted to hold either a projectile or an assembled pro 1 jectile and cartridge.
2. An ammunition box having a chamber with a set of bearings, adapted to receive an assembled projectile and cartridge, and in the same chamber a plurality of secondary sets of bearings, each secondary set adapted to receive a single cartridge, the axis of each secondary set of bearings running transversely to the axis of the first set of beer ings, said first-named set of bearings and said secondary sets of bearings being arranged in a receptacle inserted into the box and adapted to be lifted therefrom; in combination with a third set of bearings, said third set being adapted to hold either a pro jectile or an assembled projectile and can tridge.
