Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a way to replace the base plate of a single magazine with a new base plate that can accommodate two magazines on one side. The new base plate can be easily removed with a commonly available tool. This allows for easy removal of one or both magazines and makes maintenance or replacement of the network more convenient.

Problems solved by technology

The locking mechanism on a typical base plate cannot be released without easy access to the bottom of the magazine.
Because of this design it has not previously been possible to connect two magazines at the base plates.

embodiment 1

Alternate Embodiment 1

FIG. 5

[0078]Referring now to the alternate embodiment b 32 in more detail, in FIG. 5, there is shown the main body b 24 having a vertical slot b 25 and with a circle cut b 26 in the center front of the main body b 24. There is a locking plate boss hole b 27 passing from top to bottom of the assembly. A tool b 28 with a round shaft b 29 and a wedge blade b 30 which would be inserted in to the front of the main body b vertical slot b 24, 25, and as the angled faces b 31 of the wedge blade 30 are inserted they would lift, or push up, a locking plate boss 12 away from the center of the main body b 24 and release any attached magazines assemblies 19.

embodiment 2

Alternate Embodiment 2

FIG. 6

[0079]Referring now to the alternate embodiment c 33 in more detail, in FIG. 6, there is shown a main body c 34 having a s shaped slot c 35 at the front of the main body c 34, with a circular cut c 36 in the middle, and a slot c 37 and locking plate boss hole c 38 cutting through from top to bottom. A tool c 39 with a s shaped tip c 40 is and a round shaft c 41 is inserted in to the s shaped slot c 35 from the front of the main body c 34, then rotated about its center axis until the tool c's 39 s shaped tip c 40 makes contact the locking plate boss 12, lifting it up and out of the locking plate boss hole c 38, allowing one to release any fixed magazine assemblies 19. This embodiment basically takes the drive shaft and paddle as illustrated in FIG. 1, and combines them into a “twisting key” that can be inserted into the drive shaft, then rotated to either lock or unlock the magazines from the invention.

Abstract

This disclosure describes a device that can removably restrain multiple magazines of bullets for a firearm. A preferred embodiment teaches a main body where the locking plate boss of a magazine can be locked and unlocked on either side of the main body; thereby allowing a user to “attach” two magazines of bullets to his / her firearm, and when one magazine is exhausted of bullets, merely pull that magazine out, flip it over, and insert the second magazine. Several means of locking and unlocking are contemplated, including having a removable drive shaft that can rotate a paddle, additionally providing a drive shaft with a wedge-shaped face, and additionally providing a shaft with a key built into it.
