Stability Improvement for Ammunition Reloading Process

Abstract

A new use of foam or other material that possesses shock-absorption characteristics to add to, or replace, the conventional plastic or wooden physical structure of the tray commonly used for ammunition reloading, thus significantly improving the stability of cartridge case handling during and between the various stages of reloading. The invention enhances the stability of ammunition cases during the reloading process to reduce accidental powder spill.

1 . The use of a foam block with multiple holes for the purpose of containing and stabilizing one or more cartridge cases while handling during and between the stages of the reloading process for small arms ammunition.
 The use of individual foam pieces for the purpose of containing and stabilizing one or more cartridge cases while handling during and between the stages of the reloading process for small arms ammunition.   The use of shock absorbing material other than foam, including soft cloth material, wire or synthetic filaments, for the purpose of containing and stabilizing one or more cartridge cases while handling during and between the stages of the reloading process for small arms ammunition.   The use of metal, wood, rubber, or other synthetic material for a purpose of imparting a shock absorption property or feature to a reloading tray that is manufactured for commercial sale and is intended for use as a reloading tool for small arms ammunition.   The manufacture or sale of a foam block with multiple holes for the purpose of containing and stabilizing one or more cartridge cases while handling during and between the stages of the reloading process for small arms ammunition.   The manufacture or sale of individual foam pieces for the purpose of containing and stabilizing one or more cartridge cases while handling during and between the stages of the reloading process for small arms ammunition.   The manufacture or sale of shock absorbing material other than foam, including soft cloth material, wire or synthetic filaments, for the purpose of containing and stabilizing one or more cartridge cases while handling during and between the stages of the reloading process for small arms ammunition.   The manufacture or sale of metal, wood, rubber, or other synthetic material for a purpose of imparting a shock absorption property or feature to a reloading tray that is manufactured for commercial sale and is intended for use as a reloading tool for small arms ammunition.
