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.

Claims

1. A device to load a plurality of uniformly shaped objects into a storage chamber comprising:

a loader housing in the form of a chamber to temporarily store the uniformly shaped objects and which engages with the open end of the storage chamber to fit tightly over this open end;

a loading funnel forming an aperture to receive the uniformly shaped objects into the loader housing;

a lever, handle or knob which when depressed effectuates delivery of the uniformly shaped objects through the open end of the storage chamber;

an spring-loaded pushing member actuated by the loaded lever, handle or knob which pushes and properly delivers the temporarily stored uniformly shaped objects in the loader housing through the open end of the storage chamber in order to load them;

the device constructed from strong durable materials.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the storage chamber is a firearm magazine and the uniformly shaped objects are bullets or cartridges.

3. The device of claim 2, wherein the firearm magazine is used in conjunction with a weapon.

4. The device of claim 3, wherein the weapon may be a pistol or automatic rifle.

5. The device of claim 1, wherein the loader housing fit tightly over the open end of the storage chamber by means of a catch which holds it in place.

6. The device of claim 1, wherein the loader housing engages with the open end of the storage chamber by means of a slide-rail which engages with grooves in the outer wall of the storage chamber.

7. The device of claim 1, wherein the loader housing, the lever, handle or knob and the spring-loaded pushing member are firmly and flexibly secured together by means of two roller pins.

8. The device of claim 7, wherein the two roller pins allow the lever, handle or knob a pivoting motion to guide the pushing member in place to push the uniformly shaped objects into the chamber.

9. The device of claim 8, wherein the loader housing engages with the open end of the storage chamber by means of a slide-rail and the roller pins guide the loader housing into place along the slide-rail.

10. The device of claim 2, wherein the loader housing engages with the open end of the firearm magazine by means of a slide-rail which engages with grooves in the outer wall of the firearm magazine.

11. A method of loading a plurality of uniformly shaped objects into a storage chamber, by means of a loading device, comprising the steps of:

engaging a housing member of the loading device to fit tightly over the open end of the storage chamber, this housing member temporarily storing the uniformly shaped objects;

introducing and loading the uniformly shaped objects into the housing member through a loading funnel forming an aperture to receive the objects;

delivering of the uniformly shaped objects through the open end of the storage chamber by depressing a lever, handle or knob, which further actuates a spring-loaded pushing member which in turn pushes and properly delivers the uniformly shaped objects into the storage chamber, wherein the lever, handle or knob, and the spring-loaded pushing member are securely and flexibly conjoined with the housing member of the device.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the storage chamber is a firearm magazine and the uniformly shaped objects are bullets or cartridges.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the bullets or cartridges are introduced primer end first into the loading funnel forming an aperture.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein the steps of introducing and loading step of the bullets or cartridges into the housing member, and of delivering of the bullets or cartridges through the open end of the storage chamber by depressing a lever, handle or knob, are effectuated in rapid successive cycles until the firearm magazine is loaded quickly and fully.

15. The method of claim 11, wherein the engaging the housing member of the loading device over the open end of the storage chamber is achieved by firmly sliding the housing member over the top of the open'"'"'end of the storage chamber until it locks in place.

16. The method of claim 11, wherein the introducing and loading the uniformly shaped objects into the housing member is achieved by means of an aperture in the housing to securely receive the objects one at a time, and further comprising the step of slightly tilting the loading device back before inserting the uniformly shaped objects into the aperture.

17. The method of claim 11, wherein the introducing and loading the uniformly shaped objects into the housing member is achieved independently of an aperture in the housing and where multiple uniformly shaped objects may be loaded at once into the housing member, temporarily stored there, and then subsequently loaded into the storage chamber.

18. The method of claim 11, wherein the housing member, the lever, handle or knob and the spring-loaded pushing member are firmly and flexibly secured together by means of two roller pins which allow rapid actuation of the spring-loaded pushing member by depressing the lever, handle or knob.

19. The method of claim 15, wherein the engaging the housing member of the loading device over the open end of the storage chamber is further achieved by means of a slide-rail and the step of depressing the lever, handle or knob guides the loader housing into place along the slide-rail.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the slide-rail engages with grooves in the outer wall of the firearm magazine.
