Abstract

See full text

A portable item carrier and belt feed system is provided along with related methods. One illustrative embodiment includes a carrier and feed structure comprising a semi-rigid material with a divider support extending perpendicularly from a center floor section of the carrier. A belt of items is folded over the divider to reduce jams or misfeeds as the belt of items is pulled through a feed chute near an upper side section of the carrier and feed structure at a predetermined range of feed angles to the divider support. A latch disposed on a lid of the feed structure is configured for quick and easy access to the belt of items. A flexible outer container encloses the carrier and feed structure and can be coupled to a harness section configured to couple with a mobile structure. Additional embodiments include variants suitable for field manufacturing as well as portable manufacturing systems and methods.
