First Claim
1. A device for loading cartridges into a magazine comprising:
- a magazine housing comprising a bottom end with an aperture and a top end with feed lips;
a bullet carrier comprising a cartridge support seat and a spring;
the cartridge support seat comprising an underside, a viewing port and a trough, wherein the trough extends from the underside of the cartridge support seat and is situated adjacent to the viewing port and beneath the feed lips of the magazine housing, and wherein the trough comprises a shelf;
the spring having a middle, wherein the spring is situated between the cartridge support seat and the bottom end of the magazine housing, and wherein the spring pushes the cartridge support seat up against the feed lips of the top end of the magazine housing when the spring is not being manually compressed and when there are no cartridges on the cartridge support seat; and
a rod that is inserted into the aperture in the bottom end of the magazine housing and through the middle of the spring, wherein the rod comprises an L-shaped end, and wherein the L-shaped end of the rod is placed onto the shelf of the trough;
wherein when downward pressure is placed on the rod against the shelf, the cartridge support seat moves further away from the feed lips of the magazine housing and toward the bottom end of the magazine housing, thereby creating a space between the feed lips and the cartridge support seat for the insertion of a cartridge.
