A system and devices for storing and dispensing magazines that are pre-loaded with ammunition for firearms, the device including a body having a space therein, a dispensing opening, a supporting platform on which the magazines are supported, and a spring that biases the platform toward the dispensing opening to present the magazine, and the next magazine to the dispensing opening for discharge from the device. The spring is collapsible and has substantially rectangular segments. The top of the spring is captured within a space formed at the top of the platform, and the bottom of the spring is guided with a spring guide. The device may be carried on a person, and may releasably attach to a user's clothing.

A uniform projectile casing which is utilized for projectiles with different ranges. A projectile of relatively short range can in this case be optimized with regard to payload, whereas a projectile with the relatively long range is subjected to a range optimization, with a reduction in payload. The payload of a projectile of relatively long range is generally lower in relation to a projectile with relatively short range. The artillery projectiles have a projectile casing of equal size for the projectiles of different range. To create an artillery projectile, for example 155 mm, a uniform payload-optimized 30 km projectile casing) is used, from which 40 km projectiles can be generated (produced, assembled) by means of a reduction in payload. The range is selected and defined by mutually different projectile bases. The artillery projectile has multiple modular parts which are assembled in order to create the artillery projectile.

An ammunition package includes a three panel single piece tri-fold container which folds from an open configuration to a closed configuration via hinges provided for the purpose. The ammunition package further includes a cartridge stabilization plate. Ammunition cartridges stored within the container lie flat, e.g. roughly parallel with respect to the base or bottom of the package. Converting between the open configuration and the closed configuration takes place by folding or unfolding the left and right panels at the hinges with respect to the center panel.

A toy assembly for retaining and launching a miniature boomerang from an upper limb of the body which limb includes a wrist, hand and fingers, the assembly consisting of the combination of the boomerang, a support member attachable to the upper limb, and a platform mounted on top of the support member to retain the boomerang in a first storage position and further to provide for the shifting of the boomerang to a second launching position wherein launching is accomplished by flicking a wing of the boomerang with a finger of the opposite upper limb on which the support member is positioned.

An apparatus and method for protecting exposed threads of a material. The apparatus having a base, a body with at least one open end, and at least one protrusion. The protrusions may be spaced evenly along an inner or outer surface of the apparatus body at a fixed distance from the base. Additionally, the protrusions can be matched to a thread pattern to allow for quick attachment, or connection. The apparatus may be constructed of a metallic material or alloy, or a combination of metallic materials and alloys. The thread protector thread pattern can then be matched to the thread pattern on the material or item to be protected. Affixing the thread protector to the material or item to be protected could include turning the thread protector in a manner that secures, connects, or locks the protrusions with the thread patter of the material or item to be protected.

A waterproof container is disclosed. The container can include first shell and a second shell; a first rim extending around the first shell; a second rim extending around the second shell; and a latch for securing the first shell to the second shell and defining an enclosed storage volume in a mated position. The first shell can include a grip projection adapted for opening the container from a mated position. The latch defines a latch recess adapted for receiving the grip projection when the latch secures the first shell to the second shell in the mated position. The second rim can include a continuous recess, having a pair of continuous sides and a seal ridge between, but spaced apart from, the continuous sides, while the first rim can include inner and outer continuous sealing ridges that fit over the seal ridge and between the continuous sides.

An arrow vane protector having a central bore adapted to receive a shaft and nock of an arrow. Extending radially outwardly from the bore are a plurality of slits that are adapted to align with and receive a plurality of vanes attached to the shaft of the arrow. The protector frictionally holds the arrow in place.

The cartridge package (100) comprises an elongated housing (110) with a first 5 compartment (120) being divided into two sub-compartments (121, 122) with a flexible intermediate wall (117). Each sub-compartment receives a row (R1, R2) of cartridges (150). Opposite side walls (111, 112) of the housing are provided with a longitudinal slot (160, 162). A mouth portion (130) extending outwards from a top end (E2) of the housing comprises a second compartment 10 (135) having an open top end (E3) and being adapted to receive a mouth portion of a first cartridge magazine in order to load the cartridges from the cartridge package into the first cartridge magazine. The width of each longitudinal slot is dimensioned to receive an edge of a second cartridge magazine in order to push a respective row of cartridges from the cartridge package into the first cartridge magazine.
