ABSTRACT:
The belt links are constituted by a clamp member and a link member and serve to assemble together a series of cartridges to form a cartridge belt. Each cartridge is engaged or embraced by the guide member of one belt link, on the one hand, and by the link member of an adjacent belt link, on the other hand. In consideration of the infeed of the cartridges to a firing weapon the engaging or embracement angle, i.e. the overlap of the interfitting and superimposed guide and link members should be small. However, in order to prevent the cartridge belt from unintentionally disintegrating during kinking or buckling, there are provided stops or abutments at the clamp member and at the link member, by means of which the pivoting movement of the link member relative to the clamp member is limited.
