Device for loading bullets into firearm magazines
First Claim
1. A device for loading bullets into a magazine of a firearm, said device comprising:
- a sleeve defining a main body and being structured and disposed for receiving the magazine in seated position therein during use to load the bullets into the magazine;
a lever pivotally fitted to the main body and including a top portion with a top distal end;
a cam member pivotally fitted to said main body and disposed in operative, driven engagement with said top distal end of said lever;
a finger extending from said cam member;
a biasing element urging said cam member to a relaxed position; and
said lever being pivotally operable to drivingly engage said cam surface of said cam member, resulting in forced rotation of said cam member about a cam axis and against said biasing element so that said finger is moved towards said magazine to depress a top bullet seated in position on a top of said magazine, thereby loading said bullet into said magazine.

Abstract
A rapid action bullet reloading device for use in conjunction with any firearm utilizing a removable magazine is operable by either hand of the user with minimal effort. The device includes a sleeve, defining a main body, a lever hinged to the sleeve and a cam member operatively engaged with the lever. The sleeve is structured and disposed to receive the magazine in a releasably locked and registered position for the bullet reloading operation. The device is operated by squeezing the lever towards the sleeve body with one hand which rotates the cam member about a cam axis in a highly leveraged action. Rotation of the cam causes an integral finger extending from the cam member to engage and depress a properly positioned bullet into the magazine. A spring urges the cam member back to the relaxed position upon each release of the lever, whereupon a next successive bullet can be placed in registered position for loading. In several embodiments, a hood is hingedly fitted to the top end of the sleeve body and includes an axial bore, defining a loading chamber, through which the bullets are inserted, using the other hand to guide each bullet into the registered loading position.
