Abstract: A loading device for the rounds or cartridges of a revolver comprises a generally circular array of pockets receiving the individual cartridges and a ring which can be grasped by a finger to draw the loading device away from the cartridges. The unitary device has a closed cartridge ring, which can be injection molded around the cartridges and has the finger ring disposed at one side, is provided with at least one weakened zone. The weakened zone enables the cartridge ring to readily spread open. The pockets for the cartridges preferably open inwardly toward the axis.

Abstract: A package for cartridges for rapid reloading of bolt-type magazine or clip for a weapon especially for automatic and semiautomatic military weapons, comprises a generally U-shaped frame whose shanks form inwardly open channels receiving opposite ends of the cartridges or rounds. The mouth of the package is formed with a substantially funnel-shaped seat adapted to surmount the mouth of the magazine or clip so that the stack of cartridge can be pressed from its side opposite the mouth into the magazine, e.g. by the insertion of fingers through windows defined between the shanks. The seat is asymmetrical with respect to the median plane through the package with side of the seat being formed with openings opposite the aprons which define the funnel shape.

Abstract: A cartridge load for a revolver comprises a plurality of angularly spaced cartridges distributed in a circle, each having a respective casing, powder charge and bullet, with the casings being interconnected at their peripheries by thin flexible ligatures which are formed unitarily, i.e. in one piece, with the material of the casing so that the cartridges collectively form a ring which is limitedly expandable to fit into the drum or cylinder bores of different makes of revolvers.
