Abstract: A speed-loading mechanism for securing and releasing cartridges into a multiple chamber cylinder of a firearm comprises a plurality of links pivotally connected together. The device comprises a plurality of substantially identical intermediate links and a master link and an end link establishing opposite ends of the device. Each intermediate link has first and second disk-like portions. The first disk portion of one link is juxtaposed beneath and rotatably connected to the second disk-like portion of an adjacent link. A flat coil spring sandwiched between the juxtaposed first and second disk portions biasing the link series into a circular configuration matching the revolver chamber pattern to enable simultaneous insertion of the cartridges into the cylinder chambers.
