In Germany March 20, '1933 6 Claims. (Cl. 8935) The present invention relates to metal feed belts for automatic fire arms composed of separate elements and is intended to give a simple form to the web and to render it suitable for all. uses and also for all angles of firing.
It is well known that the cartridge-webs in ordinary use may readily be rolled up in a direction parallel to the cartridge though presenting a certain rigidity in the direction of the plane of the cartridge. This interferes with the introduction of the cartridges in the case of firing with a large firing angle.
This drawback is eliminated according to the invention through the oval shape imparted to the eyelets of the hinges which hold the separate parts of the belt together. This ovalization allows of a certain play between the separate parts and thus confers upon the web considerable pliancy in a transversal direction as well. a
Two examples of execution of the invention are shown in the drawings, i. e.--
Fig. 1 represents a view of the web element seen from above and from the side, and
Fig. 1a is a corresponding edge view.
Fig. 1b is a corresponding end view.
Fig. 2 shows a group of various elements seen from above and from the rear.
Fig. 2a is a corresponding end view.
Figs. 3 and 4 show a second form of execution of the invention.
Fig. 3a is a corresponding edge view.
Fig. 3b is a corresponding end view.
Fig. 4a is an end view corresponding to Fig. 4.
As apparent from Fig. 1, the belt is composed of two flat rectangular metal parts, namel the web portion I and the clip portion 2 of which I is provided with two rims 3 and 3 so shaped that they are enabled to hold fast the cartridges. The clip portion 2 carries an abutment 4 arranged perpendicularly to the plane thereof, against which abutment the bottom of the cartridge rests, in order to secure it evenly to the belt.
The twoparts I and 2 are connected together through oval hinges 5 and 5 in such a manner that longitudinal axis of the oval is perpendicular to the plane of the element (Fig. 1).
In Fig. 2 various elements are associated in order to show the formation of the loaded belt. The part of the web portion which carries the abutment 4 is so laid upon the part of the clip portion that carries the rims that it will lie between these rims. Thereupon, the cartridge is inserted between the rims. Thus, the cartridge holds the two elements together. In this manner, the entire web may be made up.
Hence there also ensues the function of the web. As soon as the'cartridge is discharged and removed from its position in the belt, the web portion is deprived of the support of the element preceding it, so that it becomes detached from ''5 the belt through :the vibrations of the gun and from the web, due to the force of gravity, as indicated in Fig. 2
Due to the oval formation of the hinge knuckles, the plane of one part of the web element is en- 10' abled to clivaricate somewhat from the plane of the adjacent one. Thus a certain possibility of torsion is ensured to the belt, whereby the introduction of the cartridges is facilitated.
Figs. 3 and 4 represent a second form of execu- 15 tion of the invention. Fig. 3 shows an element of the web that is composed of two parts connected together by means of hinges. Part 6 is a rectangular plate and carries the projections I and I that hold the cartridges, and-the abut- 20 ment 8 by which the cartridge is checked. The web portion I0 is hinged at 9 to the part 6. This Web portion I0 carries at its free extremity a projection II. The dimensions of the several parts are so chosen, that the web portion I 0 of one 25 element may be laid upon the part B of a second element, as it is enabled to pass between the openings left in the righthand projections 1-1 The projection II of the web portion thus comes into alignment with the left-hand projection I- 30 I of the part 6.
Both'the parts 6 of one element and the web portion of the. other element are held by the cartridge, as the cartridge is held by the two elements (Fig. 4) in the same way as in the first 35" form of execution.
In this form of execution, likewise, the hinge eyelets may be appropriately shaped. Instead of being ovalized, the hinges may be of some similar shape, for instance, they may be of rec- 40 tangular shape with semi-circular ends at their narrow sides.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:
1. A feed belt for automatic fire arms comprising a plurality of detachable elements connected in a series, each of said elements comprising a web portion and a clip portion articu- 5 lately interconnected, said web portion being adapted to be gripped by the clip portion of the preceding element of the feed belt.
2. A feed belt for automatic fire arms comprising a plurality of detachable elements connected in a series, each of said elements comprising a web portion and a clip portion, both substantially rectangular in form, said web portion being adapted to be gripped by the clip portion of the preceding element of the feed belt.
3. A feed belt for automatic fire arms comprising a plurality of detachable elements connected in a series, each of said elements comprising a web portion and a 'clip portion articulately interconnected, said 'c'lip portion "having means for gripping the cartridge and said web portion being adapted to overlap the clip portion of the preceding element of the belt, wherebynit is held in position by the cartridge gripped byisaid clip portion.
4. A feed belt for automatic fire arms comprising a plurality of detachable elements connected in a series, each of said elementssomprising a web portion and a clip portionarticulately interconnected, said web portion being provided with an abutment .adjaeentoneextremity thereof, and said clip portion :having :two oppositely disposed longitudinal rims projecting :firom its base and adapted to grip the cartridge, :said Web portion being adapted :to overlap the clip portion of the precedingelements-of rtheseries, whereby it is held firmly inposition by .the pressure of the cartridge gripped intermediate the rims of said clip portion :and the abutment of said web portion.
5. A feed belt for automatic fire arms :comprising a plurality of detachable -elements connected in a series, each of said elements -comprising a Web portionand a clip portion articulately interconnected by means of ;a hinge, the
knuckles of said hinge being oval in shape and having its longitudinal axis perpendicular to the plane of said elements, whereby a divarication intermittent the planes of the said web portion and said clip portion is provided, and whereby the belt is given a certain torsion about an axis parallel to the edges of the belt, said clip portion having two oppositely disposed longitudinal rims projecting from its base adapted to grip the cartridge, "and said WGbPOItiOIl having an abutment adjacent one extremity thereof and adapted to overlap the clip portion intermediate said longitudinal -of rthepreceding element of the series whereby it is held firmly'in position by the cartridge gripped intermediate said rims and said abutment.
6. A deed :belt for automatic fire arms comprising a plurality of detachable elements connected in a series, each of said elements comprising'a web portion and a clip portion, both H substantially :rectangular in shape and articulately interconnected, said clip portion having oppositely idisposedland relatively spacedprojections for gripping :the cartridge, andsaid Web portion being :adapted to overlap the said clip portion intermediate said projections of the preceding .elements of the series and having a projection disposed adjacent its free longitudinal edge soas to fit between the corresponding Drojections of said .clip portion, said Web portion beingaheld firmly in position against the clip portion of the preceding element bythe co-action of the cartridge gripped intermediate said pro- .j ections.
