COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Bandolier, Carbine Case, Waist Belt, and Ammunition.
Pouches..
I, WILLIAM GRAHAM LECKIE, of 14 St. Mary Axe, in the City of London,.
Saddlery Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and.
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to improvements in bandoliers and the like, which consists
of a combination bandolier, carbine case or bucket, waist belt and ammunition..
pouches.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon."
Fig. 1, is a front elevation of the combination bandolier, carbine case or bucket,.
waist belt and ammunition pouches.
Fig. 2, is a back elevation of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3, is a side view of the V piece with buckle and carbine case or bucket.
Fig. 4, is a front view of the bandolier drawn to an enlarged scale.
Fig. 5, is a back view of Fig. 4.
Fig. 6, is a side view of Fig. 4.
Fig. 7, is a vertical section on line A. B. of Fig. 4.
Fig. 8, is an opposite side view to Fig. 6.
Fig. 9, is an elevation of the back part of a pouch fitted to the waist belt.
Parts of some of the figs.. are broken off for want of space.
I carry my invention into practice by constructing the cross belt a with
cartridge loops 6 of webbing or the like, the said cartridge loops b and cross belt a
being woven together. Along the cross belt a at the base of the cartridge loops b
I fix a longitudinal leather stop piece c of any suitable pattern. At one end of
the cross belt a I sew or otherwise fix a V shaped piece of leather f having a
buckle at the back branch, and to the other end of the cross belt a I sew a
buckling strap i for the purpose of engaging with the aforesaid buckle h. To the
base of the V piece of leather I fix a revolver or carbine case or bucket g of any
suitable shape, and at the back of the before mentioned V piece of leather I fix
a loop with a waist belt d passing through this said loop j.
Running or loose movable ammunition pouches e are attached to the waist belt d
by means of loops k sewn to the back of the ammunition pouches e, or the said
ammunition pouches may be fitted to the waist belt d as in Fig. 9, in any suitable
manner fixed or otherwise.
In place of stop piece c I may use flaps for covering cartridges sewn or otherwise.
attached to the belt.
It will be understood that the foregoing is given by way of illustration, and
that the shapes, materials and proportions of the parts, may be varied in many
ways within the scope of my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is-
1. In bandoliers, the combination of the cartridge loops and cross belt a woven
together from webbing or the like, substantially as herein described and according
to the accompanying drawing.
2. In bandoliers, the combination of the cross belt a cartridge loops 6 stop
