Dunnage assembly
A dunnage assembly has a plurality of tubes and a locking bridge movably attached to the tubes. The locking bridge has radially sections extending through corresponding slots in the tubes and into the tube interior regions. A stop member movably positioned within each tube interior region and attached to the portion of the radially extending section located within the tube interior region. The locking bridge and stop members move together. As the locking bridge moves along the lengths of the tubes, the stop members move within the tube interior regions. The locking bridge may be locked at a desired location along the tube to position the stop members at a desired location within the tube interior regions. The adjustability of the stop members allows the tubes to receive rockets of various lengths and nose profiles. The locking bridge may be unlocked to re-position the stop members.
Sheet-metal ammunition packing tray
An ammunition tray is provided for containing a plurality of bullet cartridges within an ammunition box container having a stowage volume. The tray includes a substantially rectangular template having a horizontal surface bounded by first and second opposing longitudinal edges and opposing lateral edges joined at four corners. Each longitudinal edge includes a first tab bent substantially perpendicular to the surface in a vertical direction to form a rib. Each lateral edge includes a second tab bent substantially perpendicular to the surface to form a wall. The surface includes a first row of interior pockets that point towards the first longitudinal edge as a proximal orientation. The surface further includes a second row of interior pockets that point towards the second longitudinal edge as a distal orientation. The template has longitudinal and lateral edges bent to form the respective ribs and walls fits within the stowage volume as a vertical stack of plural templates. Each first interior pocket in the first row can cradle a cartridge on the surface along the proximal orientation, can fit the cartridge from an adjacent second row, and has lateral edges bent to curl in said vertical direction. Each second interior pocket in the second row can cradle the cartridge on the surface along the distal orientation, can fit the cartridge from an adjacent first row, and has lateral edges bent to curl opposite said vertical direction.

Holder for weapon magazines
A magazine holder having a body for containing a magazine and having sidewalls and a base, a lever connected to a sidewall and having an external member located outside the body and an internal member coupled to the external member and located inside the body, a handle connected to the body and located outside the body and having a first state where the internal member secures the magazine to the body and a second state where the external member moves away from the sidewall for removing the magazine from the body, and a pusher extending from the handle towards the external member and placed between the external member and an external surface of the sidewall, where upon movement of the handle from the first state to the second state the pusher moves the external member farther from the sidewall.
Single boundary layer optimized recalled airbag inflator container
Embodiments described herein include layered mesh containers and methods for using the containers to safely transport and dispose of airbag inflators having ammonium-nitrate-based propellant. For example, a container with at least two single-layer sidewalls is provided that can hold multiple airbag inflators and withstand up to 4 moles of matter being deployed from an inflator having ammonium-nitrate-based propellant. The container can contain the inflator and any shrapnel associated with the explosion while also venting gases expelled as a result of the explosion. Various container designs are provided, along with methods for using these containers.
Equipment locking box
An equipment locking system. The system includes a base container forming a partial enclosure. The base container including a bottom wall, a set of sidewalls, a rotatable anti-intrusion lid, and a locking mechanism that form a partial enclosure. The partial enclosure is configured to enclose a piece of equipment. The partial enclosure is configured to prevent access to the piece of equipment when the rotatable anti-intrusion lid is closed. Portions of the piece of equipment may protrude from gaps in individual sidewalls of the set of sidewalls. The rotatable anti-intrusion lid can be coupled to a sidewall of the set of sidewalls and rotated about the sidewall. Portions of the rotatable anti-intrusion lid can be inserted in the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism may restrict rotation of the rotatable anti-intrusion lid when the rotatable anti-intrusion lid is in the closed position, and the locking mechanism is in a locked position.
Fired cartridge case collectors and methods of use thereof
A fired cartridge case collector includes a base having a collection post. The collection post of the base is configured to collect and suspend a fired cartridge case without causing contact to an exterior surface of the fired cartridge case. The fired cartridge case collector also includes a protective envelope having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, wherein the first end of the protective envelope is configured to be removably secured to the base. The protective envelope is configured to prevent contact between an interior surface of the protective envelope and the exterior surface of the fired cartridge case while the protective envelope is removably secured to the base. The fired cartridge case collector permits individual collection, packaging, and non-contact storage of fired gun cartridge cases thereby preserving any DNA or other evidence that may be present.

Ammunition packaging
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.

The tray includes a substantially rectangular template having a horizontal surface bounded by first and second opposing longitudinal edges and opposing lateral edges joined at four corners. Each longitudinal edge includes a first tab bent substantially perpendicular to the surface to form a rib. Each lateral edge includes a second tab bent substantially perpendicular to the surface to form a wall. The surface includes a first row of internal cutouts that point towards the first longitudinal edge as a proximal orientation. The surface further includes a second row of internal cutouts that point towards the second longitudinal edge as a distal orientation. The template has longitudinal and lateral edges bent to form the respective ribs and walls fits within the stowage volume as a vertical stack of plural templates. Each first internal cutout in the first row can cradle a cartridge on the surface along the proximal orientation and can fit the cartridge from an adjacent second row. Each second internal cutout in the second row can cradle the cartridge on the surface along the distal orientation and can fit the cartridge from an adjacent first row.
