Magazine For Ammunition For Automatic Weapons

Abstract

An ammunition magazine for automatic and semi-automatic weapons, in particular for AK47s, AK 74, AR-15, M-16, with gauges 7,62×39; 5,45×39 and 5,56×45, which can be used in the military industry. The magazine makes it possible to fit up to 100 pieces ammunition of four lines, providing a work without a hitch.

The object of the invention is solved by two concentric ribs of the adjacent walls on the front and rear wall inside of the housing, arranged in the same plane, which serve as guides and which move a two-step telescopic feeder mechanism. On the backside of the feeder mechanism, his both parts are provided with arched surfaces comprising grooves and ribs, which are concentric with the rear wall, carrying out the leading of the feeder mechanism.

The magazine contains a housing (1), having a front and a rear wall (2) and (3), on the inner sides of which are ribs (4) and (5). In the housing (1) is placed a feeder mechanism (6), consisting of a base (7) and a top feeder (8), in front of which are grooves (11) and (12), which run on a rib (4). These grooves end with arched surfaces (7′) and (8′), concentric with the arcs of the rib (5) and the wall (3) in which are made grooves (9) and (10) and ribs (10′). The rib (5) moves along the groove (9), along the rib (10′), and along the rear wall (3).

Claims

1. An ammunition magazine for automatic weapons consisting of a housing, the upper end of which is narrowed and is composed of four closed walls, a telescopic feeder mechanism is placed in between. This telescopic feeder mechanism is composed of a base and a top feeder with a spring inserted between them and is driven by a spring snap between the feeder mechanism and the bottom of the housing, characterized in that the front wall (2) and rear wall (3) of the housing (1) are formed in an arc with a certain radius, which is concentric to each other. On them, in the interior of the housing (1), are attached the front rib (4) and a rear rib (5) in the shape of concentric arcs of the adjacent sides, which are arranged in the same plane. In the housing (1) is housed a telescopic feeder mechanism (6), which moves on the front rib (4) through the grooves (11) and (12), located on the front of the base (7) and the top feeder (8), on the rear rib (5) via a groove (9) and on the rear wall (3) by the rib (10′), located on the backside of the base (7) and the top feeder (8). The rear parts of the body of the base (7) and the top feeder (8) end with arched surfaces, respectively (7′) and (8′), whose forms are also described by arcs, concentric to the rear wall (3), respectively to the rear rib (5) representing the trajectory of moving. On the outside of the top feeder (8) is attached a convex arc, in which is carved a groove (9) also concentric to the arc of the rear rib (5), in which groove it falls. The arched surface (7′) is constructed in the form of a wide groove (10) whose width is equal to the width of the arched surface (8′). In this groove (10) is located the arched surface (8′). The edges of the groove (10) are ending in the form of the rib (10′).

2. An ammunition magazine for automatic weapons according to claim 1, characterized in that the front rib (4) and the rear rib (5), mounted on the front wall (2) and the rear wall (3) of the housing (1), are arranged in different planes, offset relative to one another, according to the width of the walls (2) and (3).

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

[0011] FIG. 1 depicts a cross-sectional view of the magazine for ammunition for automatic weapons.

[0012] FIG. 2 shows a telescopic feeder mechanism with its main parts—the base and the top feeder.

[0013] FIG. 3 represents the base and the top feeder of the telescopic feeder mechanism with a view to the arched surfaces which accomplish the leading by firing.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

[0014] This is a magazine for ammunition for semi-automatic and automatic weapons like AK47s, AK 74 AR-15 M-16 caliber 7,62×39; 5,45×39 and 5,56×45. The magazine comprises: a housing (1) composed of two flat walls which are sealed by two concentric to each other walls—a front wall (2) and a rear wall (3). On the inner side of the front and the rear walls (2) and (3), concentric to them, are situated a front rib (4) and a rear rib (5). Between the ribs (4) and (5) is set a telescopic feeder mechanism (6). This telescopic feeder mechanism (6) is composed of a base (7) and a top feeder (8). In the back of the base (7) and the top feeder (8) are shaped arched surfaces (7′) and (8′), which are concentric with the rear rib (5). Along the arched surface (8′) is wrought a groove (9), concentric of the rear rib (5), respectively of the rear wall (3). On the arched surface (7′) is formed a groove (10) with a width equal to the width of the arched surface (8′), which is contained in this groove. It (10) ends at the both sides with a rib (10′). The rear rib (5) enters the groove (9). The arced surface (8′) is located in the groove (10). On their fronts, the base (7) and the top feeder (8) are cut by grooves (11) and (12). Between the telescopic feeder mechanism (6) and the bottom of the housing (1) is fixed a spring (13) and between the base (7) and the top feeder (8)—another spring (14).

[0015] The magazine acts as follows: The ammunition is arranged in the housing (1) through the top feeder (8), so each new cartridge pushes the previous to the bottom, in which a spring (14) is shrinking. By this action the arched surface (8′) is leaded through the groove (10). In this moment the ammunitions are arranged two in a row. When the top feeder (8) touches the base (7), a spring (13) begins to shrink and the telescopic feeder mechanism (6) moves on the concentric trajectories of the arcs of the front rib (4) through grooves (11) and (12), through a rib (10′) contacting on the rear wall (3), and through a groove (9), which is moving along the rear rib (5). All these parts serve as guides. The telescopic feeder mechanism (6) is moving to the bottom of the housing (1) and the ammunitions therein are already arranged in the four rows, up to the complete filling of the magazine with 60 to 100 cartridges, depending on the caliber.

[0016] In the reverse order, the movement of the telescopic feeder mechanism (6) in the housing (1) is performed on the front and the rear rib (4) and (5). At their front parts to the wall (2), the base (7) and the top feeder (8) are moving on the front rib (4) via grooves (11) and (12). At its rear side the telescopic feeder mechanism (6) contacts to the wall (3) through a rib (10′) and in the rear rib (5) through the groove (9), cut into the top feeder (8). During its moving upward the telescopic feeder mechanism (6) describes again a trajectory on arc, concentric with the arc of the rear rib (5), respectively to the rear wall (3).

USE OF THE INVENTION

[0017] This magazine can be used for assembling of automatic and semi-automatic weapons such as AK47s, AK 74 AR-15 M-16, with gauges 7,62×39; 5,45×39 and 5,56×45.
