Abstract: A rapid loading device for revolvers which provides releasable securement of cartridges in condition for simultaneous loading of the cartridges into the cylinder chambers of the revolver. The device includes a first cylindrical member having an open end and a closed end which forms its base and a first disc having a center bore and a plurality of axially extending, radially distributed cartridge-receiving bores adapted to align with and introduce the cartridges into the cylinder chambers of the revolver. The first disc is disposed within the first cylindrical member and is mechanically coupled to the inner sidewall thereof. The device also includes a star sprocket whose lateral projections releasably lock each cartridge flange while laterally supporting each cartridge in conjunction with the first disc and a mechanism for releasing the star sprocket system in order to release the cartridges when the cartridge ends are in the cylinder chambers of the revolver.

Abstract: The present invention is a cleaning attachment mechanism for cleaning a plurality of the chambers of the cylinder of a revolver simultaneously for use in combination with a cleaning apparatus for cleaning the barrel, which is rifled, of the revolver. The cleaning apparatus includes a handle, a first shaft having a length which is equal to the length of the cylinder and a mechanically coupling device which rotatably couples the handle to the first shaft. The cleaning apparatus also includes a second shaft which is equal in length to the length of the barrel of the revolver plus the length of the first shaft and a second mechanically coupling device which rigidly couples the second shaft to the first shaft. The second shaft can be unattached. The cleaning apparatus further includes a cylindrical wire brush which is rigidly coupled to the second shaft and which is adapted to rotate within the barrel of the revolver in order to clean it.
