Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a shotgun shell carrier that allows hunters to easily dispense and refill the carrier with one hand. The carrier allows multiple carriers to be easily stacked together. The carrier includes a pivoting bail with a shell-receiving surface, finger tabs, and a centrally aligned u-shaped finger cutout. The bail is biased so that the finger tabs are positioned to receive a shell when the bail is in a resting position inside the housing. The housing includes a hollow cavity designed to hold a row of stacked, transversely aligned shells, and an optional holding clip attaches to the rear surface of the housing or to the user's belt. The carrier allows for easy dispensing and restoring of shells, and multiple carriers can be stacked together."

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, the dispensing mechanisms require the hunter to use both hands to refill the carrier.

)

[0026] Referring the Figs., there is shown a shotgun shell dispenser 10 used to carrier a plurality of shot gun shells 90 specially designed to allow a hunter to easily remove and load individual shells 90 into the dispenser 10 using the fingers on one hand. The dispenser 10 is also specifically designed to allow the hunter to pre-pack multiple dispensers 10 and then stack them in an organized manner inside a box or suitable container.

[0027] The dispenser 10 includes a rectangular-shaped, six-sided housing 12 with a lower loading and discharge opening 20. Located on the lower end wall of the housing 12 adjacent to the lower loading and discharge opening 20 is a pivoting ball 40 with a u-shaped finger cutout 24 formed thereon that allows the hunter to extend his or her middle finger around a shell 90 disposed on the bail 40. The housing 12 includes a hollow cavity 25 designed to hold a row of stacked, transversely aligned shells 90. (See FIG. 5)

Abstract

A shotgun shell dispenser that includes a rectangular-shaped six-sided housing with a lower loading and discharge opening formed on one end. Formed on the lower sidewall of the housing adjacent to the lower discharge opening. Located inside the housing is a downward biased stomper plate designed to press against the upper most shell to constantly force the row of shells downward towards the discharge opening. Located inside the discharge opening is a pivoting bail designed to receive and temporarily hold one shell in a blocking position inside the discharge opening. The pivoting bail is biased inward to maintain the lower shell in a blocking position thereby prevent the other shells from being accidentally discharged. The bail includes two finger tabs and a u-shaped finger opening that allows the user to easily lift and rotate the bail to dispense the shell located thereon.

Description

[0001] This is a utility patent application, which claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 583,269 filed on Jun. 11, 2004.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] This invention relates to carriers for ammunition, and more particularly to carriers used to temporarily hold shotgun shells. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] Carriers for shotgun shells that attached to the belt of a hunter are well known. (See U.S. Pat. Nos. 278,980; 2,075,988; 2,122,003; 2,756,913; 2,837,258; and 3,219,244). Ideally, such carriers should allow the hunter to easily load a box of shotgun shells, securely hold the shells while hunting, and then allow the hunter to easily remove individual shells when needed. [0006] Some carriers include a dispensing mechanism that facilitates the removal of individual shells from the carrier. Unfortunately, the dispensing mechanisms require the hunter to use both hands to refill the carrier. In order to refill the car...
