ABSTRACT:
A one-piece, injection molded plastic tray for packaging ammunition cartridges of various sizes. Symmetrically arranged cylinders are formed in the tray opening into the upper surface to hold the cartridges.
The lower end portions of the cylinders terminate in a hole having a diameter smaller than the inside diameter of the upper portion of the cylinders and concentric therewith to form a ledge. The diameter of the upper portions of the cylinders is large enough for various sizes of ammunition to pass through. The diameter of the lower end of the cylinders is large enough for the nose end of the cartridgtes to pass through while the ledges prevent the tapered surface of the nose end of the cartridges from passing entirely through. The nose ends of the cartridges are held above the plane of the bottom of the side walls of the tray by at least one-sixteenth inch.
Cross ribs are formed between adjacent cylinders and side walls to provide additional rigidity to the tray. Recyclable materials may be used and the trays are durable enough to be reused.
