Bang box

Abstract

The invention is a compact type 3 explosive storage magazine. It has an approximate external measure of 4.75″ wide, 7.87″ long and 8.69″ high. This design is one quarter the size of the nearest comparable type 3 magazine and has an integrated locking mechanism rather than a hinged hasp locking mechanism which is unique among type 3 magazines. The hinged hasp represents the easiest access point for theft and most likely security component to fail.

[0001] Not ApplicableBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] A compact explosive storage magazine apparatus for storing and retrieving high and low explosives. The item was created after an extensive search for a commercially available small compact explosive storage container or magazine yielded negative results. The commercially available explosive storage containers or magazines were too large, too heavy and not feasible for use in the limited space available. The large and bulky magazines were not suited for the purpose of storing the small amounts of explosives that were set forth by ATF regulations. The commercially available options did not take the end user in mind and were created for the commercial mining and demolition field. This item was designed by and specifically for Law Enforcement personnel.BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The item was created to exceed the ATF standards under Title 27, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 555, S...

Embodiment Construction

[0005]The item appears to be a metal box with lid on first appearance. It has two sections, an upper section which is slightly wider and sits on top of the lower section. They are attached to one another by a non removable pinned hinge. The hinge is welded to inside of the upper section and the outside of the lower section preventing separation. The item is custom made by laser cutting 7 gauge thick steel for construction of all metal pieces with the exception of the hinge which is bought commercially. Each section is laser cut forming the base forms. All cut sections are then attached, for example, by welding of the full penetration type to develop maximum strength and cleaned to a smooth finish forming two sections which are solid except where designed otherwise. All the following measurements are O.D. unless stated otherwise. The lower section is approximately 4.00″ wide, 7.00″ long and approximately 7.69″ high with the exception of the front side of the lower section that contai...
