Filed:

Mar 18, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/050610

Inventors:

William F. Gordon - Frisco TX, US

Assignee:

Contract Fabrication and Design, LLC - Princeton TX

International Classification:

F41A 9/79

US Classification:

89 3314

Abstract:

An ammunition magazine box is provided for receiving a vertically serpentined length of belted ammunition for selective outfeed from the box to a machine gun. A specially designed support bracket structure, representatively of a length adjustable construction, is provided and suitably secured within the interior of the magazine box. At least a portion of the belted ammunition loops rest on a top side surface of the installed support bracket structure. The top support bracket structure side surface is (1) laterally sloped, in a direction transverse to the lengths of the belt loops, to inhibit a tilting-created intermeshing of vertically adjacent projectile ends of the ammunition rounds which could cause a feed jam, and/or (2) longitudinally sloped, in a direction parallel to the lengths of the belt loops, to desirably lessen the ammunition outfeed force that must be exerted by the machine gun.

International Classification:

F24B 300

US Classification:

126 66

Abstract:

A forced air, fuel burning heater is provided which includes a relatively large damper plate slideably mounted immediately below the top wall of the heater, to thereby insulate the top wall from the heat of combustion and thereby reduce the temperature and thus the tendency of the top wall to warp from excessive heat. The damper plate preferably includes a rearward edge which is doubled upon itself to further insulate the edge of the flue opening in the top wall from heat, where warpage commonly occurs. The disclosed heater also includes a separate blower assembly which may be selectively mounted on either side of the combustion chamber with equally effective air circulation, and the hearth plate includes an upwardly inclined forward edge portion for reflecting radiant heat back toward the heater and thus reducing the temperature of the adjacent floor surface.
