Magazine Loading Device for Loading Bullets or Cartridges into a Magazine

Abstract

A firearm Magazine loading device designed to load bullets and cartridges into a magazine clip. The loader housing is designed to fit over the open end of the magazine. The top front of the loader includes a funneled bullet or cartridge loading port or aperture to facilitate the insertion of a bullet or cartridge into the housing loader primer end first. Once an operator inserts the bullets or cartridges into the loader housing through the funneled loading port, the housing incorporates a lever, handle or knob located at its rear, which, when squeezed or activated, forces or loads bullets or cartridges into the magazine.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to the loading of bullets / cartridges into a firearm magazine. The methodology is unique as it incorporates a funneled port to facilitate the loading of cartridges into the loading device vs. the conventional manual loading method. Once a cartridge is introduced into the loader, it is plunged into the magazine via a lever, handle or knob incorporated on the loader which is squeezed to activated the device, pushing cartridge into the open end of the magazine.SUMMARY OF PRESENT INVENTION[0002]1. Background of the Invention[0003]Magazines of handguns or pistols incorporate either a single column of rounds, for smaller pistols or a larger column of rounds for larger pistols which include two staggered columns which converge to a single column at the open end of the magazine. Magazines expose a single, top most, round (bullet or cartridge) between both lip walls.[0004]Firearm Magazines have an internal spring, which urges a follower, blank...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a device that helps reduce the time and effort required to load firearm magazines. It eliminates pain and injury to the operator's hands, prolongs the life of the magazine, and reduces wear and tear on the feed lips. The device securely holds the magazine and allows for easy loading without the need for forceful thrusting motions.

Problems solved by technology

It should be noted that the plunger is removable and could therefore be easily dropped or lost when needed the most, thus making the loader ineffective and very impractical in combat reloading situations.

Although good in theory, the design requires an operator to waste valuable and precious time prior to using the device by having to properly align the L-shaped grip and bores to magazine while aligning and introducing removable plunger with spring loaded pins to bores on top of L-shaped grip.

Upon further review and evaluation, the Williams '683 Reloader device is cumbersome, awkward and difficult to use.

The initial set up is time consuming and the varied magazine design is impractical, allowing cause for multiple loading failures due to its two-part design.

This device which is made of nylon fiberglass is impractical due to its small size.

The retractable plunger handle which is very small, is awkward to operate and also cumbersome to deploy.

While loading rounds with this device is awkward, unloading rounds is both impractical and nearly impossible.

The dual purpose housing is very small so does not fit properly over the open end of the magazine, posing yet another problem for the operator.

This device made of nylon fiberglass is designed poorly, is bulky and time consuming, making the process of loading it cumbersome and adding additional precious time to the process when time is of essence.
