  • Patent number: 6779654
    Abstract: A shotgun shell housing assembly comprising a container adapted to hold stacked shells and a cover adapted to receive the container. The container is adapted to permit stacking of shells in a common configuration similar to that used for factory loaded ammunitions. To facilitate stacking of the shells, the container can be held at an angle by a removable stand. The container with stacked shells is received by the cover and retained by a latching mechanism to form an enclosed housing that stores the shells. To access the shells, the container is removed so as to transfer the shells from the container into the cover. The cover is dimensioned to fit into many products designed to hold paper cartons holding factory loaded shotgun shells. The shotgun shell housing assembly is preferably formed from a resilient material so as to permit repeated use.
