Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 27, 1921.
Application filed July 2, 1919 Serial No. 308,301.
(FILED UNDER THE ACT OF MARCH 3, 1883, 22 STAT. It, 625.)
To all whom it may concern: 7
Be it known that I, SAMUEL G. GREEN,
lieut., Ordnance Dept, U. S. A.. a citizen of the United States, stationed at Washington, D. 0., have invented an Improvement in Cartridge-Holders, of which the following is a specification.
The invention described herein may be used by the Government, or any of its oflicers or employees in prosecution of work for the Government, or by any other person in the United States, without payment of any royalty thereon.
This invention relates to a cartridge holder or magazine for a machine rifle and particu larly to such a magazine adapted to hold black cartridges only. In sham battles and practice maneuvers it is customary to use only blank cartridges, however it often happens that a ball cartridge becomes mixed with the blanks and finds its way into the magazine, thereby causing an accident. It is an object of this invention to positively prevent such an occurrence by providing a magazine which will not receive a ball cartridge.
' It i a further and particular'object of this invention to adapt a standard ball cartridge magazine for use as a magazine to receive blank cartridges only, and to do so without very materially altering the standard magazine.
With the above and other objects in view, as will further be shown, the invention comprises more specifically the following structure.
Referring to the drawings Figure 1 is a sectional view through the magazine, showing the same inserted to operative position in the rifle.
' Fig. 2 is the magazine follower.
Fig. 3 is a detail view showing how the standard magazine is modified to receive the spacing member 3.
Referring more specifically to the invention, 1 indicates a standard magazine per 86 held in operative position in the gun by a spring catch 2. The length of the magazine is normally just suflicient to receive a ball cartridge therein. A blank cartridge is shorter than a ball cartridge, and the present invention contemplates shortening this standard magazine sufiiciently to adapt the length thereof to a blank cartridge only.
To this end, a spacing member 3 is introduced at the front end of the magazine, such member being of a length sufficient to engage within all the forward loops of the follower spring 4 and pass through the follower 5 at 6. The lower end of member 3 is bent as at 7 to engage the bottom of the magazine and the upper end is U-shaped as shown in Fig. 1. The front of the magazine is slitted as at 8 and the portion 9 between such slits is struck-in as shown to receive the end 10 of the spacing member.
The follower 5, shown in Figs. 1 and 2, is punched as at 6 to provide for the passage of the spacer 3 therethrough.
From the above description, it is clear that the follgwer 5, forming a support for the cartridge, rides on top of spring 4 and slides vertically on spacing member 3. Also in this construction the spacing member 3 forms the front of the magazine, the space between this member 3 and the rear of the magazine being of just suflicient length to receive a blank cartridge therein but too short to receive a ball cartridge.
From the above description it appears obvious that the present invention completely secures the objects desired and does so in a very simple and desirable manner since it only requires a slight modification of the standard magazine in use on machine rifles.
I claim as my invention 1. In a cartridge magazine having a follower and a follower spring therein, a spacing means for shortening the length of such magazine, such means extending the depth of the magazine and engaging within all the forward loops of the follower spring and passing through the follower.
2. In acartridge magazine having a follower and a follower spring therein, the magazine being slitted at its front portion and struck-in in such manner as to provide a loop, spacing means in the magazine re ceived and supported by the loop, such spacing means shortening the cartridge receiving portion of the magazine in such manner that only a blank cartridge can be received there- 1n.
3. In a cartridge magazine having a follower and a follower spring therein, a spacing member for shortening the length of such magazine such m mber extending the depth of the magazine and engaging within all the forward loops of the follower spring and passing through the follower, one end of the spacing member being engaged and supported in a loop struck in from the body of the magazine.
4:. In a cartridge magazine having a follower and a follower spring, a spacing member secured at its upper end to the front wall of the magazine and passing through the follower.
5. In a cartridge magazine, a spacing strip comprising a main strip having its upper end bent back parallel with said main strip and secured to the front plate of the magazine and a bridge piece connecting the main strip and the bent back portion inclinedto SAMUEL Ur. GREEN.
