Patent number: 12188751Abstract: Provided is an ammunition container lid for use with an ammunition canister. The container lid includes a four-sided frame, a cover, a hinge assembly, a feed tray, a latch, and a Last Round Switch. The hinge assembly includes a repeating pattern of ammunition can hinge sections, feed tray hinge sections, and cover hinge sections with a rod holding the sections together. The lid has an integrated aerodynamic forward face that matches the curvature of the ammunition can. The feed tray assembly is incorporated into the container lid to prevent a reduction in ammunition can capacity. The cover and feed tray rotate on the same axis, thereby resulting in simplified, ergonomic operation, which eliminates the problems inherent in current designs that can open directly into the airstream during flight. The inventive lid does not require special tools for installation/removal and does not reduce ammunition can capacity.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2023Date of Patent: January 7, 2025Assignee: The United States of America, Represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Daniel A.
