  • Patent number: 6708843
    Abstract: A portable paintball container tube loading stand is disclosed, which facilitates the loading of paintballs into paintball container tubes. This support stand comprises a vertical free standing frame which supports a shelf in which there are apertures for vertically inserting paintball container tubes. A hopper, with an open top and bottom, is rotatably attached to this shelf and can be positioned atop this shelf over the inserted tubes. The walls of this hopper are tapered downward towards the open ends of the inserted paintball tubes. These open ends are essentially flush with the top surface of the shelf. Paintballs are delivered into the upper wide mouth of the hopper which directs these paintballs downward into the container tubes. After the tubes have been loaded, the hopper is rotated to the open position to allow the loaded tubes to be removed.
