Abstract
Abstract A plurality of propellant cartridges are serially connected with each other to form a band that may be rolled up for utilization in a commercial device, such as a riveting gun. The cartridges may be attached to a band by extending their electrical leads through the band for clamping the cartridges to the band, bonding the cartridges to the band, or providing the cartridges with a force fit in recesses of the band, for example. Also, propellant carrying cases may be formed in pairs for serial connection with primer carrying bases formed in pairs. Also, preformed lengths of cartridge-carrying bands may be connected serially with each other by means of connectors.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
92 words
A cartridge clip for propellant cartridges to be used in commercial and industrial devices, particularly riveting guns, wherein the improvement comprises a flexible band and a plurality of propellant cartridges serially attached to said flexible band, wherein said band has a surface portion which is at least as wide as the largest diameter of the propellant cartridges, and wherein the band is windable into a roll about an axis which is substantially parallel to said surface portion with the propellant cartridges being disposed substantially perpendicular to the surface portion of the band.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
92 words
A cartridge clip for propellant cartridges to be used in commercial and industrial devices, particularly riveting guns, wherein the improvement comprises a flexible band and a plurality of propellant cartridges serially attached to said flexible band, wherein said band has a surface portion which is at least as wide as the largest diameter of the propellant cartridges, and wherein the band is windable into a roll about an axis which is substantially parallel to said surface portion with the propellant cartridges being disposed substantially perpendicular to the surface portion of the band.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
The cartridge clip according to claim 1, wherein each of said propellant cartridges includes a base portion constructed of the same material as said band; and including means bonding said base portion to said band.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
75 words
The cartridge clip according to claim 2 wherein said band is provided with a plurality of serially arranged recesses along its length at uniform spacings; said recesses extending through the thickness of said band, each of said base portions having a projection corresponding in length to the thickness of said band so that said base portions may be inserted from one side of the band and bonded flush with the other side of said band.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
The cartridge clip according to claim 1, wherein said band is provided with a plurality of uniformly serially spaced recesses, and each of said propellant cartridges is force fittingly assembled into respective ones of said recesses.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
59 words
The cartridge clip according to claim 4, wherein each of said propellant cartridges includes a portion having a diameter substantially larger than the associated recess and a projecting portion of substantially the same diameter as the associated recess, with a shoulder portion therebetween; said projecting portion being inserted in said recess so that said shoulder portion engages said band.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
The cartridge clip according to claim 1, wherein each of said propellant cartridges includes a cup-shaped cartridge case for receiving the propellant powder molded one piece with the band.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
103 words
A cartridge clip for propellant cartridges to be used in commercial and industrial devices, particularly riveting guns, comprising: a flexible flat band having a longitudinal center line extending lengthwise thereof, a plurality of propellant cartridges attached to said flexible band and spaced serially along the longitudinal center line thereof, and wherein said band is windable into a roll about an axis perpendicular to the plane which contains the longitudinal center line in the rolled up condition, said cartridges being disposed substantially perpendicularly to both said longitudinal center line and to the axis about which the band is rolled in the rolled up condition.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
103 words
A cartridge clip for propellant cartridges to be used in commercial and industrial devices, particularly riveting guns, comprising: a flexible flat band having a longitudinal center line extending lengthwise thereof, a plurality of propellant cartridges attached to said flexible band and spaced serially along the longitudinal center line thereof, and wherein said band is windable into a roll about an axis perpendicular to the plane which contains the longitudinal center line in the rolled up condition, said cartridges being disposed substantially perpendicularly to both said longitudinal center line and to the axis about which the band is rolled in the rolled up condition.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
24 words
A cartridge clip according to claim 7, wherein the width of the flat band is greater than the largest diameter of said propellant cartridges.
