Patent number: 8650792Abstract: A loader for gun magazines. The loader includes a handle and a pair of spaced apart, outwardly extending prongs. In an embodiment, a stiffener is used to maintain alignment of prongs, and to keep the prongs from being urged apart during use. The loader is used by engaging prongs with a cartridge in the magazine, and then urging the cartridge against biasing means to create space for a cartridge to be loaded. Once space is created, the cartridge to be loaded is urged into magazine while cradled between prongs of the loader.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2012Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: Ben's Outdoor Design, Inc.Inventor: Ben J.

Publication number: 20140033592Abstract: A gun magazine speed loader that can load an entire magazine simply by pulling the magazines external follower in a downward motion. Rimmed cartridges are aligned nose down and side-by-side in a loading channel and the magazine and speed loader are then tipped up toward a vertical position with the magazine below the loader. By passing the stream of cartridges through an “articulator” that articulates the nose of the cartridge and feeds cartridges ‘rim-first’ and up through feed lips and into the magazine, the cartridges fill the magazine in a continuous stream, essentially at the speed of gravity-falling cartridges under control of the external follower. The articulator has no moving parts and operates with rimmed cartridges and with curved or low-rake angle magazines having an external follower.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2013Publication date: February 6, 2014Inventor: Dana Joseph Fiorucci

Patent number: 6810616Abstract: A fiream magazine loader and unloader accessory (10) comprises a main body (12) adapted to fit over an open end of a magazine (70) and a tiltable alternate round thruster (50) mounted in the main body above the magazine's open end. The alternate round thruster includes two plungers (62) and (64), each positioned above a column of rounds (80, 82) of the magazine. Loading is achieved by thrusting inside the magazine the topmost round of the magazine using the plunger above to provide a vacant space for a new round to be rearwardly inserted. Unloading is achieved by thrusting inside the magazine the second-to-topmost round of the magazine with the plunger above to release spring (78) pressure from the topmost round so that it can gravitationlly and forwardly unload.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2003Date of Patent: November 2, 2004Inventors: Guy Tal, Ran Tal

Patent number: 6807764Abstract: A device to facilitate the loading of cartridges into an automatic pistol magazine atop an internal cartridge follower plate which is urged upward by an internal magazine spring. The device comprises a thumb size indented block to which is attached a wire loop. When loading the magazine, the wire loop is hooked around a knob attached to the follower plate, which extends outward through a slot on the magazine wall, and is pulled down, lowering the follower plate, allowing the cartridges to be freely inserted. While loading, the magazine base is inserted into the indentation on the block and the block is held against the magazine base by the force of the spring until loading is completed.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2003Date of Patent: October 26, 2004Inventor: Larry B.

Patent number: 6796074Abstract: A device for holding a plurality of firearm magazines is disclosed. The device includes an upper plate, a lower plate, and a securing member. The upper plate is rotationally positioned about the securing member, and the lower plate is rotationally mounted to the securing member below the upper plate. Magazines are placed between the upper plate and the lower plate, which together securely engage the magazines when tightened with the securing member. Multidirectional movements of the upper plate and the lower plate facilitate placement and securing of the magazines. The upper plate has a recess allowing a head of the securing member to rest substantially therein and/or flush with the outer surface of the upper plate. Substantially curved edge surfaces of the plates provide a smooth transition from one surface to another.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2002Date of Patent: September 28, 2004Inventor: Robert V. Obong

Publication number: 20040159036Abstract: A rapid action bullet reloading device for use in conjunction with any firearm utilizing a removable magazine is operable by either hand of the user with minimal effort. The device includes a sleeve, defining a main body, a lever hinged to the sleeve and a cam member operatively engaged with the lever. The sleeve is structured and disposed to receive the magazine in a releasably locked and registered position for the bullet reloading operation. The device is operated by squeezing the lever towards the sleeve body with one hand which rotates the cam member about a cam axis in a highly leveraged action. Rotation of the cam causes an integral finger extending from the cam member to engage and depress a properly positioned bullet into the magazine. A spring urges the cam member back to the relaxed position upon each release of the lever, whereupon a next successive bullet can be placed in registered position for loading.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2003Publication date: August 19, 2004Inventor: Philip Newman

Patent number: 6754987Abstract: A magazine loader includes a loading holder and an ammo pusher. The loading holder has a supplying opening end, an opposed discharging opening end, a feeding channel extended from the supplying opening end to the discharging opening end for slidably receiving a plurality of ammos, and a guiding arrangement provided within the feeding channel, wherein the discharging opening end of the loading holder is capable of detachably mounting on an opening of a magazine such that the feeding channel of the loading holder is adapted for aligning with the opening of the magazine. The ammo pusher, having a pusher head, is slidably engaged with the guiding arrangement to substantially guide the pusher head sliding from the supplying opening end of the loading holder to the discharging opening end thereof for pushing the ammos within the feeding channel of the loading holder into the magazine.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2003Date of Patent: June 29, 2004Assignee: New Century Sci. & Tech, Inc.Inventors: Carson Cheng, Jon Morgan
