Abstract:

A receiver for spent sheels is disclosed wherein a rigid compartment is formed and includes a mounting means for mounting one end of the compartment adjacent to the shell ejection slot of a gun, and for supporting the rigid compartment away from the body of the hand gun so as not to interfere with the operation of the hand gun. Since the opening in the compartment is disposed in register with the ejection slot of the gun, the ejected shells enter the compartment. A trap door is disposed within the compartment near the opening so that spent shells do not jump out of the compartment, for example, as when the gun recoils or when it is laid down. For use on a pistol the mounting means consists of opposing rigid panels or flaps which are disposed on each side of the pistol grip. The panel near the compartment is affixed to the underside thereof, while the other panel is formed to extend up over the pistol and to be fixed to the upper side of the compartment. For use in a rifle, the mounting means consists of a relatively flexible sheet wrapped around the rifle and has means for attaching the opening of the compartment to the sheet so that it can register with the shell ejection slot of the rifle.
