US12638282 - Ammunition sorting device
The patent describes an ammunition sorting device featuring a sorting tray with proximal and distal portions, incorporating multiple sorting lumens for organizing ammunition. Additionally, the device includes a chute aligned with the sorting tray to facilitate the sorting process through corresponding chute lumens.
Claim 1
1 . An ammunition sorting device, comprising: a sorting tray, the sorting tray including a proximal sorting portion and a distal sorting portion, wherein a plurality of sorting lumens are defined within the sorting tray, and wherein each of the plurality of sorting lumens extends between the proximal sorting portion and the distal sorting portion of the sorting tray, wherein the sorting tray further comprises: a plurality of sidewalls aligned in an x and y direction, wherein the plurality of sorting lumens are defined between intersecting portions of the plurality of sidewalls, a plurality of alignment projections disposed at intersecting portions of the plurality of sidewalls, wherein: each of the alignment projections extends in the proximal direction and defines an apex, each of the plurality of alignment projections defines a plurality of lateral faces, each lateral face corresponding to an adjacent one of the sorting lumens, each lateral face includes a first lateral face and a second lateral face, the first lateral face is disposed distally with respect to the second lateral face, the first lateral face is disposed at a first angle with respect to the sorting plane and the second lateral face is disposed at a second angle with respect to the sorting plane, and the first angle is greater than the second angle; a chute disposed adjacent the distal sorting portion of the sorting tray, the chute including a proximal chute portion and a distal chute portion, wherein the chute defines a plurality of chute lumens corresponding to each of the plurality of sorting lumens and extending between the proximal chute portion and the distal chute portion. a sorting tray, the sorting tray including a proximal sorting portion and a distal sorting portion, wherein a plurality of sorting lumens are defined within the sorting tray, and wherein each of the plurality of sorting lumens extends between the proximal sorting portion and the distal sorting portion of the sorting tray, wherein the sorting tray further comprises: a plurality of sidewalls aligned in an x and y direction, wherein the plurality of sorting lumens are defined between intersecting portions of the plurality of sidewalls, a plurality of alignment projections disposed at intersecting portions of the plurality of sidewalls, wherein: each of the alignment projections extends in the proximal direction and defines an apex, each of the plurality of alignment projections defines a plurality of lateral faces, each lateral face corresponding to an adjacent one of the sorting lumens, each lateral face includes a first lateral face and a second lateral face, the first lateral face is disposed distally with respect to the second lateral face, the first lateral face is disposed at a first angle with respect to the sorting plane and the second lateral face is disposed at a second angle with respect to the sorting plane, and the first angle is greater than the second angle; a plurality of sidewalls aligned in an x and y direction, wherein the plurality of sorting lumens are defined between intersecting portions of the plurality of sidewalls, a plurality of alignment projections disposed at intersecting portions of the plurality of sidewalls, wherein: each of the alignment projections extends in the proximal direction and defines an apex, each of the plurality of alignment projections defines a plurality of lateral faces, each lateral face corresponding to an adjacent one of the sorting lumens, each lateral face includes a first lateral face and a second lateral face, the first lateral face is disposed distally with respect to the second lateral face, the first lateral face is disposed at a first angle with respect to the sorting plane and the second lateral face is disposed at a second angle with respect to the sorting plane, and the first angle is greater than the second angle; each of the alignment projections extends in the proximal direction and defines an apex, each of the plurality of alignment projections defines a plurality of lateral faces, each lateral face corresponding to an adjacent one of the sorting lumens, each lateral face includes a first lateral face and a second lateral face, the first lateral face is disposed distally with respect to the second lateral face, the first lateral face is disposed at a first angle with respect to the sorting plane and the second lateral face is disposed at a second angle with respect to the sorting plane, and the first angle is greater than the second angle; a chute disposed adjacent the distal sorting portion of the sorting tray, the chute including a proximal chute portion and a distal chute portion, wherein the chute defines a plurality of chute lumens corresponding to each of the plurality of sorting lumens and extending between the proximal chute portion and the distal chute portion.
