Description

[0001] The present invention relates to an ammunition bag for transporting an ammunition belt, in particular for transporting an ammunition belt made of cartridges from a grenade launcher.

[0002] These ammunition belts are relatively heavy, weighing between 10 kg and 20 kg, for example. The manufacturer typically supplies them in a metal box, which itself weighs approximately 4 kg. To reduce this weight and make the ammunition belt more portable, it is common practice to transport it in a bag.

[0003] A munitions bag in the form of a backpack, which essentially has the structure of a school satchel, i.e., reinforced side panels and a reinforced lid flap, is known from the prior art.

[0004] Special requirements must be met when transporting ammunition belts, particularly for grenade launchers, as grenade launcher cartridges typically have a relatively fragile cap on one end that must be protected from stress and damage. Furthermore, the ammunition belt should not be damaged during transport and, if possible, should be able to be fired directly from the ammunition pouch.

[0005] The object of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved ammunition pouch which enables easy and safe transport of the ammunition belt and preferably allows the ammunition belt to be fired directly from the ammunition pouch.

[0006] This problem is solved by an ammunition pouch according to claim 1. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

[0007] The present invention comprises an ammunition pouch for transporting an ammunition belt, in particular an ammunition belt made of cartridges for a grenade launcher, wherein the ammunition pouch has a receiving area for receiving the ammunition belt. The present invention is characterized in that separating elements are provided in the receiving area, which are arranged and / or can be arranged to form a meandering path for the ammunition belt. The separating elements prevent the cartridges of the ammunition belt from resting on each other with their side surfaces when the ammunition belt is inserted into the receiving area in a loop-like fashion, since the separating elements separate the individual loops of the ammunition belt from one another. This prevents damage during transport and avoids the loops of the ammunition belt from snagging and twisting when the ammunition belt is pulled out.Therefore, the meandering path formed by the separating elements also facilitates the removal of the ammunition belt and preferably allows for immediate firing of the ammunition belt from the ammunition pouch. In particular, the meandering path also allows for the safe transport and removal of an ammunition belt that has already been partially fired and is therefore shorter.

[0008] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the separating elements are formed by one or more stiffening elements which support an upper surface of the receiving area against a lower surface of the receiving area. The separating elements therefore not only serve to separate the loops of the ammunition belt from one another, but also contribute to the stability of the ammunition pouch. In particular, they absorb loads acting on an upper surface of the receiving area and support it on the lower surface of the receiving area, so that the upper surface is not pressed down onto the cartridges of the ammunition belt. In particular, the separating or stiffening elements are higher than the cartridges.

[0009] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the separating elements are formed from a flexible material. Preferably, this material has sufficient stiffness to support the upper side of the receiving area relative to the lower side, but its flexibility allows the separating elements to deform in the plane defined by the upper and / or lower side.

[0010] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the separating elements are formed by one or more flexible bands, in particular plastic bands. This makes it easy to provide a meandering, obstacle-free path for the ammunition belt.

[0011] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the band(s) can be arranged or are arranged in a loop-like manner in the receiving area, with the separating elements being formed by the loops of the band(s). This loop-like guidance of the band allows for stable support of the upper surface on the loops.

[0012] In particular, several separating elements are formed by the loops of a continuous band. The loop design of these separating elements creates a defined path for the ammunition belt, making it less likely to snag. The continuous band also provides a defined path for the ammunition belt between the separating elements, further reducing the likelihood of snagging.

[0013] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the separating element(s) can be arranged or positioned in the receiving area such that they interlock from two opposite sides and form the meandering path.

[0014] In particular, first separating elements extend from a first side wall towards the second side wall and have a free end around which the meandering path runs, and second separating elements extend from the second side wall towards the first side wall and have a free end around which the meandering path runs, wherein preferably the first and second separating elements alternate in a direction parallel to the first and second side walls. Preferably, the free ends of the first and second separating elements overlap with respect to their extent between the first and second side walls.

[0015] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, in this embodiment the first and second separating elements are each formed by loops of one or more bands, as described above. In particular, the first separating elements are preferably formed by a continuous first band, and the second separating elements are preferably formed by a continuous second band. The first and second bands can be connected and form a common band, or they can be formed by separate bands.

[0016] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the band(s) can be arranged or positioned in the receiving area such that the loops interlock from two opposite sides and form the meandering path.

[0017] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, at least two bands are provided, wherein the loops extending from one of the two opposite sides are each formed by one of the bands.

[0018] According to a first possible embodiment of the present invention, the tapes can be freely inserted into the receiving space. In this case, they must each be arranged in a loop shape to create the meandering path.

[0019] According to a second possible embodiment of the present invention, the strap(s) have connecting elements, in particular hook-and-loop fastener elements, by which two sections of a strap can be joined and / or fixed to each other to form a loop, and / or by which the plastic strap(s) can be fixed and / or fixed to the inner walls of the receiving space. This allows the strap(s) to be roughly fixed in position within the receiving space. Nevertheless, the loops formed by the straps have sufficient flexibility to yield when the ammunition belt is pulled out, and their deformation facilitates the removal process.

[0020] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, at least one band has a free end, wherein the length of the band or the free end is selected such that it extends along one side, in particular a narrow side, of the receiving area and at least partially closes this side. The cartridges of the ammunition belt are therefore also protected on this side by the band.

[0021] The belt(s) are preferably made of plastic, in particular of a sheet-like plastic material. This material has sufficient stability to support the top of the receiving chamber and allows the ammunition belt to slide easily along the belt.

[0022] Even regardless of whether the separating elements are designed as loops of a band, according to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the free ends of the separating elements extending into the receiving space are movably arranged opposite the top and / or bottom of the receiving space. This allows them to yield when the ammunition belt is pulled out, and their deformation facilitates the removal process.

[0023] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the separating elements are not connected to the elements of the ammunition pouch forming the receiving space, or are only connected to them in the side areas of the receiving space.

[0024] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the separating elements are not connected to the top and / or bottom side of the receiving space.

[0025] The design described above can be used in particular when employing separating elements which are realized by loops of one or more bands.

[0026] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the free ends of the loops formed by the strap(s) extending into the receiving space are not fixed in their position, but are movable relative to the top and / or bottom of the receiving space, so that they can give way when the ammunition belt is pulled out and, by their deformation, simplify the pulling out.

[0027] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the straps are not connected to the elements of the ammunition pouch forming the receiving space, or are only connected in the side areas of the receiving space.

[0028] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the free ends of the loops formed by the strap(s), extending into the receiving space, are not connected to the elements of the ammunition pouch forming the receiving space or to the top and / or bottom of the receiving space. In particular, the straps may not be connected to the top and / or bottom of the receiving space at all.

[0029] Because the free ends of the dividers or loops extending into the ammunition compartment are not fixed in position, pulling out the ammunition belt causes these free ends to move along with the belt and rest against it laterally, partially disrupting the meandering path. As a result, the ammunition pouch offers very little resistance to pulling out the ammunition belt.

[0030] The ammunition belt does not need to slide through the meandering path to be pulled out of the ammunition pouch. Instead, it can abandon its meandering structure loop by loop, simply carrying the corresponding dividers along with it as it is pulled towards the exit and deforming them in that direction. The remaining meandering structure of the ammunition belt, however, stays between the dividers. This makes it possible to transport the ammunition belt safely even when it is partially used and therefore shorter.

[0031] The ammunition pouch preferably allows the ammunition belt to be fired in a position lying on the bottom, standing on a side wall, in particular on a side wall opposite the open side, and / or in a hanging position.

[0032] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the bottom and / or side walls of the receiving area are lined on their inner surface facing the receiving area with a hook-and-loop fastener material. The lining of the side walls allows for easy attachment of the dividers or straps to the side walls using hook-and-loop fasteners. The lining of the bottom side allows, for example, the attachment of a reinforcement plate or the use of the ammunition pouch for a different purpose with a different interior.

[0033] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, a bottom side and / or a top side of the receiving area has at least one reinforcement made of a plate-shaped material, in particular one or more plastic plates. This protects the cartridges.

[0034] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the reinforcement of the bottom side can be detachably connected to the bottom side, in particular via a hook and loop fastener and / or a strap connection.

[0035] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the reinforcement of the top surface is firmly connected to the top surface, in particular by sewing.

[0036] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the top of the receiving chamber is formed by a cover element. This allows easy access to the receiving chamber and thus easy insertion of the ammunition belt.

[0037] Preferably, the top and bottom surfaces form the largest boundary surfaces of the recording space and, in particular, have a larger surface area than any of the four side surfaces extending between the top and bottom surfaces.

[0038] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the lid element is attached to an upper edge of a first side wall and can be folded open relative to it.

[0039] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the lid element can be detachably connected to a second and a third, opposing side wall of the receiving space, in particular by a zipper. The zipper preferably connects a side edge of the lid element to an upper edge of the second and third side walls, respectively.

[0040] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the cover element has a second area forming a fourth side wall at the free end of a first area that forms the top of the receiving chamber. In the closed state, the cover element therefore surrounds the receiving chamber on both the top and the fourth side surface. This means that to remove the ammunition belt, it is sufficient to open only the second area of ​​the cover element.

[0041] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the first and second regions each have at least one separate reinforcement made of a plate-shaped material, such that the second region can be folded open relative to the first region.

[0042] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the outer edges of the first and second areas can each be connected to a top edge and a subsequent side edge of the second and third side wall, in particular by a continuous zipper.

[0043] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the ammunition pouch has a second lid element on the side opposite the hinge side of the lid element.

[0044] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the second lid element is attached to an outer edge of the bottom side and can be folded open relative to it.

[0045] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the second lid element can be folded at least partially over the first lid element and / or connected to the first lid element via a connecting element.

[0046] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the ammunition pouch comprises at least one handle element, which is preferably made of webbing.

[0047] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the ammunition pouch comprises a shoulder strap which is fixedly attached to the ammunition pouch on one side and detachably on the other, with a storage compartment provided in which the shoulder strap can be stowed. The storage compartment is preferably arranged between two layers of material which are provided in the area of ​​a side wall.

[0048] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the top, bottom, and / or side walls of the receiving area form the top, bottom, and / or side walls of the ammunition pouch. The entire interior of the ammunition pouch therefore constitutes the receiving space.

[0049] According to one possible embodiment of the present invention, the second and third side wall or side surface of the receiving space are longer than the first and fourth side wall or surface.

[0050] The lid elements are therefore preferably arranged to fold onto the ammunition pouch on one narrow side of the receiving space.

[0051] The present invention comprises a system consisting of an ammunition pouch according to one of the preceding claims and an ammunition belt, wherein the ammunition belt is received along the meandering path in the receiving area and the loops of the ammunition belt are separated from each other by the separating elements.

[0052] The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to drawings and exemplary embodiments.

[0053] This shows: Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of an ammunition pouch according to the invention, in a completely open state; Fig. 2 shows theFig. 1 The embodiment shown, in which the attachment of the loops of the straps and the straps to the side walls of the receiving space is shown, Fig. 3. Fig. 1 and 2 The illustrated embodiment is shown in a partially closed and partially open state.

[0054] Fig. 1 bis 3 show an embodiment of an ammunition pouch according to the invention.

[0055] The ammunition pouch is used to transport an ammunition belt 5, in this case for a grenade launcher. The ammunition 5 consists of a number of cartridges linked together in a chain.

[0056] In the exemplary embodiment, the ammunition belt weighs approximately 15 kg and is usually supplied in a metal box, which itself weighs an additional 4 kg. To save this weight and make the ammunition belt 5 more portable, the new bag was developed. Special requirements must also be met for the transport of the ammunition belt 5 because the cartridges or grenades on the upper side (as shown in the figures) each have a relatively delicate lid that must be protected from stress and damage.

[0057] The ammunition pouch according to the invention serves firstly to transport the ammunition belt 5, but in the exemplary embodiment it also allows the ammunition belt 5 to be fired directly from the pouch, since it can be pulled out of the pouch by the grenade launcher.

[0058] The core of the invention consists of separating elements 25 within the ammunition pouch, which form a meandering path for the ammunition belt within the pouch. This prevents the individual cartridges from resting on one another and allows the ammunition belt 5 to be easily pulled out of the ammunition pouch. Furthermore, the separating elements 25 stiffen the ammunition pouch, thereby protecting the cartridges and their delicate caps. The separating elements are slightly taller than the cartridges for this purpose.

[0059] The separating elements 25 are formed by two stiffeners 20, 20' running meandering within the pocket, which interlock and form the meandering path for the ammunition belt between them.

[0060] In the exemplary embodiment, the separating elements 25 are formed by two flexible plastic bands 20, 20', which are inserted into the ammunition pouch in a loop-like fashion on both longitudinal sides 30 and interlock in such a way that a meandering channel is formed between the loops 25. The loops 24 therefore form the separating elements.

[0061] In principle, these straps 20, 20' could also be placed freely in the bag. In the embodiment shown, however, the straps 20, 20' have hook-and-loop fastener elements 22, 23, which firstly form the loops 25 by fixing two sections of a strap together, and secondly allow the two straps 20, 20' to be fixed to the opposite inner walls 35 of the side walls 30 of the bag. This makes it possible to roughly position the meandering stiffener inside the bag. The inner walls of the two side walls 30, to which the straps are fixed, are covered with a hook-and-loop material for this purpose.

[0062] The meandering stiffener and in particular the bands 20, 20' are therefore only connected to the side walls 30, but not to the bottom side 60 or the top, so that the free ends of the separating elements or loops 25 projecting into the interior are held in position only by the inherent stiffness of the meandering stiffener and in particular the bands 20, 20', but are movable due to their flexibility and are therefore deformable when the ammunition belt is pulled out, and thus prevent the ammunition belt from snagging.

[0063] The ammunition belt 5 therefore does not need to slide through the meandering path to be pulled out of the ammunition pouch, but can abandon its meandering arrangement loop by loop, simply taking the corresponding dividers with it in the area where it is pulled towards the exit and deforming them in that direction. The remaining meandering arrangement of the ammunition belt, however, remains between the dividers. For example, if the ammunition belt were pulled out of the in Fig. 1 In the depicted arrangement, the first loop of the meandering arrangement of the ammunition would first be released, thereby taking with it the first loop of strap 20' and the free end of strap 20. Subsequently, the second loop of the ammunition belt would also be released, so that the ammunition belt would then run from the position where the arrow to reference mark 10 ends, with only a slightly serpentine shape, towards the open side of the ammunition pouch. Because the corresponding loops of straps 20 and 20' are taken along, they no longer interlock but align themselves along the ammunition belt. In the remaining area, however, the ammunition belt remains in its meandering arrangement, and the loops also remain in their position. The ammunition belt is therefore held securely between the loops even when only partially discharged.

[0064] Instead of two 20, 20' tapes, the use of only one continuous tape or the use of more than two tapes would also be conceivable.

[0065] The bands are primarily made of a sheet-like plastic material. Their looped shape provides high rigidity against stresses acting on their looped upper and lower edges, thus protecting the cartridges.

[0066] The bag has a reinforcement 65 on the bottom side 60, as well as a reinforcement 45, 46 on the lid 40, which forms the top of the ammunition bag. The reinforcement preferably consists of a sheet-shaped plastic material.

[0067] The reinforced upper side of the ammunition pouch is supported by the separating elements 25 and the meandering stiffening on the bottom side 60.

[0068] In this embodiment, the stiffening element 65 of the base 60 is removable, for example, also by means of a hook-and-loop fastener. This allows the bag to be used for other purposes, such as a camera bag, by attaching other dividers to the hook-and-loop fasteners of the bag. The inside of the base is preferably provided with a hook-and-loop covering to which the stiffening element 65 can be connected via a corresponding hook-and-loop fastener. Alternatively, the stiffening element 65 of the base could also be fixed inside the bag using PALS straps.

[0069] In contrast, the reinforcing elements 45, 46 of the cover 40 are sewn firmly in place in the exemplary embodiment.

[0070] The lid 40 is connected to the upper edge of the side wall 70 of the bag on the right side in the picture, and can be moved relative to it in a flap-like manner, so that by opening the lid the receiving area 10 for the ammunition belt inside the ammunition bag is accessible from above, so that the ammunition belt can be inserted into the meandering path.

[0071] The lid 40 has a first area in which it forms a top surface of the ammunition pouch. Here it is reinforced by a first reinforcing element 45.

[0072] At the free end of this first section, a second section is provided which can be folded down laterally and therefore, when closed, forms a side wall of the ammunition pouch on side 70'. The second section is reinforced by a separate reinforcing element 46.

[0073] The two separate reinforcement elements 45, 46 allow the second area to be folded over relative to the first area, thus exposing side 70' of the ammunition pouch so that the ammunition belt or its end can be removed, as shown in Fig. 3 is shown, while the first area remains connected to the side walls 30.

[0074] In this embodiment, the side walls of the ammunition pouch are not reinforced. Here, the meandering stiffening 20, 20' provides protection.

[0075] The meandering stiffening or the bands 20, 20' is designed in such a way that it extends in the area of ​​the two sides 70, 70' of the bag which run perpendicular to the side walls 30, from which the separating elements extend into the interior of the bag, and therefore also protects the ammunition belt on these sides 70, 70' to the outside.

[0076] In particular, a free end 27 of the strap 20 extends along the side 70' of the bag, which can be opened, and covers the ammunition belt. Its flexibility allows the ammunition belt to be removed from this side by bending the free end open, thus providing access to the meandering path inside the bag from the side. The free end 27 of the strap 20 therefore offers additional protection and guides the ammunition belt when it is removed from the bag.

[0077] The lid is connected to the bag across the first and second sections by continuous zippers 37 running along both sides. The zipper 37 runs along the top edge and the free side edge of the side walls 30.

[0078] This allows full access to the interior of the bag via the large top opening, making it easy to insert the ammunition belt. To remove it, only the second section of the lid needs to be opened.

[0079] A handle 42 is provided at the free end of the lid 40, and in particular at the free end of the second section, by means of which the lid can be opened. The handle 42 is formed by a webbing strap which is sewn to the free end of the second section.

[0080] The ammunition pouch has a second cover 50 on side 70', where the pouch can be opened. This second cover 50 is connected to the corresponding outer edge of the base 60 and can be folded open relative to it. It folds over the second section of the first cover 40 to completely close side 70' of the ammunition pouch. The second cover 50 has a connecting element 52 that can be detachably connected to a connecting element 43 located on the first section of the cover 40. In this embodiment, the connecting elements 43 and 53 are the two halves of a buckle attached to webbing.

[0081] The ammunition pouch still provides sufficient stability and protection for the ammunition belt even when only a portion of the belt is inserted. While removing the ammunition belt may cause the loops of the meandering stiffener to no longer fully interlock, this design still provides adequate rigidity.

[0082] In the exemplary embodiment, the bottom side 60 and the top side each form the largest surfaces of the cuboid ammunition pouch. Furthermore, the side walls 30 are longer than the sides 70, 70', so that the pouch can be opened on the narrow side 70' and on the top.

[0083] However, other dimensions of the ammunition pouch are also conceivable, as are other ratios of the sizes or lengths of the bottom, top, and side walls.

[0084] The ammunition pouch can have one or more handles, preferably provided by sewn-on webbing. For example, a first handle can be provided on the side of the ammunition pouch to which the second lid 50 is attached. In particular, the first handle can be sewn onto the bottom and extend beyond the second lid. A second and / or third handle can be arranged on the side walls 30. Furthermore, a fourth handle can be provided on the side wall 70, preferably oriented towards the top.

[0085] Furthermore, the ammunition pouch can be equipped with a shoulder strap. This strap can be permanently sewn to the side of the side panel 70 and detachably attached to the side of the ammunition pouch where the second lid 50 is also attached via a fastening element. For example, it can be connected to the handle located there.

[0086] Preferably, a compartment is provided in which the shoulder strap can be stored when not in use. For this purpose, for example, the side wall 70 can have two layers of material which are not sewn together at the bottom and thus form the compartment in which the shoulder strap can be stored.

[0087] Firing the ammunition belt from the ammunition pouch is possible both in a position where the ammunition pouch lies on its bottom side 60, as well as in a position where it stands on its side wall 70, and in a position suspended from the first handle element described above.

[0088] The ammunition pouch may have connecting elements for attachment to a carrying system, in particular for attachment to a carrying plate and / or a carrying frame, which has shoulder straps and preferably a waist belt. Furthermore, connecting elements may be provided to attach the ammunition pouch to a backpack.

[0089] For this purpose, the bag may, for example, have loops with which the bag can be attached to the carrying plate and / or the carrying frame and / or a backpack.

[0090] In particular, loops can be provided on the bottom and / or on the edges between the bottom and the side walls. Alternatively or additionally, MOLLE attachment elements can also be provided.

[0091] Furthermore, a quiver could be used, which can be strapped to a carrying plate or backpack, and into which the ammunition pouch is simply inserted and secured with a buckle. This allows the ammunition pouch to be quickly detached from the backpack or transport system and used separately. Specifically, the securing mechanism can be buckle 43. The quiver can have the same arrangement of connecting elements as the ammunition pouch.

[0092] Alternatively, the ammunition bag itself could be designed as a backpack by providing shoulder straps and / or a hip belt on the ammunition bag, especially on the bottom side.

[0093] In the exemplary embodiment, the entire interior of the ammunition bag, defined by the bottom, top and side walls of the ammunition bag, serves as a receiving area for the ammunition belt; i.e., the bottom, top and side walls of the receiving area are simultaneously also the bottom, top and side walls of the ammunition bag.

[0094] In an alternative design, the compartment for the ammunition belt could also be just one section of a multi-compartment bag. In particular, in this case, the ammunition pouch shown in the figures could be integrated into a larger bag and / or attached to another bag.
