Ammunition Magazine Box With Adjustable Tilted Interior Bracket Structure

US Patent:
7918153, Apr 5, 2011
Filed:
Mar 18, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/050610
Inventors:
William F. Gordon - Frisco TX, US
Michael F. Ingersoll - Lowry Crossing TX, US
David C. Ussery - Fort Worth TX, US
Caleb J. Rankin - Allen TX, US
Nathan P. Whitworth - Princeton TX, US
James A. Hardin - McKinney TX, US
Assignee:
Contract Fabrication and Design, LLC - Princeton TX
International Classification:
F41A 9/79
US Classification:
89 3314
Abstract:
An ammunition magazine box is provided for receiving a vertically serpentined length of belted ammunition for selective outfeed from the box to a machine gun. A specially designed support bracket structure, representatively of a length adjustable construction, is provided and suitably secured within the interior of the magazine box. At least a portion of the belted ammunition loops rest on a top side surface of the installed support bracket structure. The top support bracket structure side surface is (1) laterally sloped, in a direction transverse to the lengths of the belt loops, to inhibit a tilting-created intermeshing of vertically adjacent projectile ends of the ammunition rounds which could cause a feed jam, and/or (2) longitudinally sloped, in a direction parallel to the lengths of the belt loops, to desirably lessen the ammunition outfeed force that must be exerted by the machine gun.
