Pocket clip for ammunition

Claim 1

An ammunition clip for carrying small arms cartridges, comprising: coextensive uniform-section channels in parallelopposed relation, each of said channels being a squared ''''C'''' in section with co-planar lateral flanges spaced for slidably gripping the rims of bases of cartridges, first and second struts connecting the respective sides of the channels at one end of the channels, said struts spaced for allowing cartridges to pass freely therebetween, and retaining tabs inwardly protrusive from the sidewalls of the channels at the ends of the channels for thereby engaging the rims of bases of cartridges, all said retaining tabs being angled toward the ends of the channels connected by the struts for thereby permitting cartridge ejection only between the struts, the width of each strut being uniform and less than the major diameter of cartridges insertable in the clip, thereby permitting ejective application of pressure on the retained ends of the cartridges between and proximate the channels.
