ABSTRACT:
A snap-in and snap-out shell catcher is provided for use on multiple shot semi-automatic guns. It has a shell ejection port mechanism which consists of a fixed plate and a movable plate (arm), a latch and spring arrangement, and a spring-wire hoop and loop, all of which are formed into one unit. The mechanism is readily attached to the side of the receiver of a gun.
The arm is attached to the fixed plate in such a manner that it can pivot around a single point near the center of the arm. The extent and timing of this pivoting action of this arm is limited and controlled by the latch and spring arrangement in conjunction with the normal firing and subsequent operation of the action of the gun on which it is fitted.
The spring-wire hoop and loop is attached to the forward muzzle end of the arm in such a manner that when the forward end of the arm is pivoted upwardly, the spring-wire hoop and loop will be positioned over the shell ejection port of the gun. The bolt of the gun can be either opened or closed, and the shell catcher will still not interfere with loading unfired shells into the chamber and/or the magazine of the gun. With the catcher in this position, it is ready to catch and hold the body of an ejected shell after the gun has been fired for easy removal by hand.
