Shotgun cartridge holder
A shot shell cartridge holding device, having a tensioned channel with protruding lips (1A) that grip and hold the cartridge rim. Inside the channel is a filler block (FIG. 2) to prevent the shell from sitting to deep within the channel. On one end of the filler block is a protrusion (2C) that prevents the cartridges from sliding all the way through the channel. Assembled in this configuration the shot shell cartridge holder can be mounted a variety of platforms allowing the user to carry and quickly access shot shell cartridges.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION—FIELD OF INVENTIONThis invention relates to a device for holding a quantity of firearm shotgun cartridges allowing easy and fast access for the shooter.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTIONThere are a variety of shotgun cartridge holders available to the shotgun shooter. The improvement recognized in this invention is that the shotgun cartridges are captured in the holder by a smaller area of the shotgun cartridge thereby leaving the maximum amount of the shotgun cartridge exposed. This is an improvement over other shotgun cartridge holders due the decreased interference the shotgun cartridge holder offers the shooter while in the act of retrieving shotgun cartridge from said holder. The decreased interference allows a more positive grip on one or more shotgun cartridges thereby making it less likely for the user to loose control of the shells once pulled from the holder. This improvement also makes the act of retrieving shotgun cartridges for a reload faster due the reduced interference.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION—OBJECTS AND ADVANTAGESThe Shot Gun Cartridge Holder offers a variety of advantages over other types of cartridge holders.
These advantages are:
-
- (a) decreased contact area of the cartridge retained by the cartridge holder;
- (b) easier access to one or more cartridges for user;
- (c) can be mounted to a variety of platforms for carrying and using;
- (d) ambidextrous for right or left handed user
The “Shotgun Cartridge Holder” retains a multiple of shotgun cartridges by means of spring tension giving the user a way to store and carry a multiple of shotgun cartridges while offering a less restricted access to the cartridges. This cartridge holding device may be attached to a variety of bracket platforms allowing it to be mounted on the users belt, firearm or other locations.

Claims
1. A shotgun cartridge holding device comprising:
- (a) resilient material forming a U-shaped trough of a specific length,
- (b) said trough having parallel opposing ledges projecting over trough space,
- (c) a filler block of rigid material,
- (d) said filler block sized specifically to control the dimension of said U-shaped trough,
- (e) said filler block having integral or attached protrusion which will act as a stop to prevent shotgun cartridges from passing through and out of said trough,
- whereby when said filler block is inserted into said U-shaped trough creating a cartridge holder of which the tension created by the resilient material used in said trough is controlled to offer optimum shotgun cartridge holding tension,
- whereby a shotgun cartridge is held by said cartridge holder offering maximum exposure of said cartridge offering minimal cartridge access interference,
- whereby when said cartridge holder is used with one of various belt or firearm mounting platforms said cartridge holder offers fast and easy access for reloading a shotgun.
