P-329 STORAGE AND FEEDING APPARATUS FOR AMMUNITION BELTS ABSTRACT Apparatus (14) for storing and feeding an ammunition belt (16) is disclosed as including a storage compartment (22) for the belt which is adapted to feed an automatic gun upon belt movement through the compartment in a feed direction. Dividers (24) are spaced along the feed direction and are mounted, pre- ferably on the compartment floor (28), for movement between first positions extending across the feed direction and second positions extending along the feed direction. In the first positions, the dividers allow storage of the ammunition belt in a serpentine config- uration. Movement of the dividers to the second posi- tions allows the ammunition belt to pass thereby upon movement to the gun. Each divider is mounted by a pivotal support (26) having a detent which initially locates the divider in the first position thereof during loading of the belt and which allows subsequent movement to the second position thereof after closing of a compartment closure. The preferred construction of the dividers includes a shaft (40) with a blade (38) secured thereto and the preferred construction of the pivotal supports includes a pair of bearings that receive shaft ends which extend from the divider blade. Spring clips (62) facilitate movement of the ammunition belt over the bearings.
