Magazine clip exterior housing system

Abstract

A magazine clip exterior housing system that facilitates belt attachment of the ammunition magazine clips utilized by a variety of automatic and semi-automatic weapon systems. The housing can be removably or permanently attached over the lower half of the exterior surface of a magazine clip, and the enclosed clip can be used in the weapon system without the need to remove the housing. The housing system includes a belt clip on one side and a series of raised ribs on the other side to provide for secure clip handling. In the removably attached embodiment a groove in the interior surface guides the magazine clip into position within the apparatus. The housing is made of resilient, lightweight plastic which provides an appropriate coefficient of friction between the housing system and the user's hands, as well as an appropriate degree of durability/longevity. The device is simple, scalable, and economically manufactured.
