Cartridge staging device

Abstract

A cartridge staging device for carrying or staging one or more ammunition cartridges is provided. The device may include one or more cartridge retainers, such as a proximal cartridge retainer, a terminal cartridge retainer, and a plurality of central cartridge retainers. The cartridge retainers may be coupled to a back plate which may include a first plate surface, a second plate surface, a plate upper end, and a plate lower end. The cartridge retainers may each be coupled to the first plate surface between the plate upper end and the plate lower end. The back plate may be substantially rigid so as to prevent a proximal cartridge retainer and terminal cartridge retainer from being moved proximate to each other. A handle may be coupled to the plate upper end.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Non-Provisional application Ser. No. 15 / 435,529, filed on Feb. 17, 2017, entitled “CARTRIDGE STAGING DEVICE”, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This patent specification relates to the field of firearm cartridge holders.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a cartridge staging device for carrying or staging ammunition cartridges. The device includes one or more cartridge retainers that are coupled to a back plate. The cartridge retainers may be linearly oriented to each other and may have a cartridge cavity with a pressure finger for frictionally retaining a cartridge. The device may also have an elongated body with a handle and a plurality of cartridge retainers. The elongated body may also include a back plate and a plurality of cartridge retainers or a plurality of cartridge retainers without a back plate. The device may also include clips for securing it to other objects. The technical effects of the invention include improved handling and storage of ammunition cartridges.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, these currently available ammunition carrying devices suffer from a number of drawbacks.

For example, firearm magazine carriers and other devices and methods that rely on ammunition being stored in a magazine are unable to allow the user to easily select one or more individual cartridges.

As another example, revolver ammunition dump pouches, speed loader carriers, cartridge carrying belts and bandoliers, and holders for ammunition that may be secured to portions of a firearm all are relatively large and bulky ammunition carrying methods.

Furthermore, while these methods are able to secure ammunition cartridges, they often are not able to do so in a discreet manner.
