Shotgun cartridge holder

Abstract

A shot shell cartridge holding device, having a tensioned channel with protruding lips ( 1 A) that grip and hold the cartridge rim. Inside the channel is a filler block (FIG. 2 ) to prevent the shell from sitting to deep within the channel. On one end of the filler block is a protrusion ( 2 C) that prevents the cartridges from sliding all the way through the channel. Assembled in this configuration the shot shell cartridge holder can be mounted a variety of platforms allowing the user to carry and quickly access shot shell cartridges.

1 . A shotgun cartridge holding device comprising: 
 (a) resilient material forming a U-shaped trough of a specific length,    (b) said trough having parallel opposing ledges projecting over trough space,    (c) a filler block of rigid material,    (d) said filler block sized specifically to control the dimension of said U-shaped trough,    (e) said filler block having integral or attached protrusion which will act as a stop to prevent shotgun cartridges from passing through and out of said trough,    whereby when said filler block is inserted into said U-shaped trough creating a cartridge holder of which the tension created by the resilient material used in said trough is controlled to offer optimum shotgun cartridge holding tension,    whereby a shotgun cartridge is held by said cartridge holder offering maximum exposure of said cartridge offering minimal cartridge access interference,    whereby when said cartridge holder is used with one of various belt or firearm mounting platforms said cartridge holder offers fast and easy access for reloading a shotgun.
