Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(a) Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to an improved casing configuration for revolver cartridge loader, and more particularly to the casing that advantages fingers of a user to grasp hold and thereby have contact control of the casing, which thus benefits the user to rapidly accomplish task of loading cartridges.

(b) Description of the Prior Art

Regarding conventional art of a loader for a revolver, U.S. Pat. No. 6,308,451 B1, U.S. Pat. No. 5,842,299, U.S. Pat. No. 4,313,275 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,202,124 all disclose loaders for use in revolvers. However, casings utilized for loading cartridges in such conventional art are of a cylindrical configuration, and are adopted with a smooth circumferential surface, and thus difficult for a user wanting to use their fingers to grasp hold of the loader in a dark environment, particularly in an emergency when the fingers will probably shake from nervousness. In addition, should the fingers be stained with grease, the fingers will easily slip away from grasping hold of the cylindrical casing. Furthermore, the hand holding the loader already loaded with cartridges easily misaligns the loader with a cylinder of the revolver, and is thus difficult to quickly load the cartridges into the cylinder. Hence, research task of the present invention is in providing the casing that allows the cartridge loader to be conveniently grasped hold of and which thereby facilitates contact control by the user.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, a primary objective of the present invention is to provide a casing configuration for revolver cartridge loader that allows fingers to manipulate and expedite effective grasping of a loader, and thereby allow achieving rapid loading of cartridges into the loader and quick alignment of the loader with a cylinder of a revolver, which thus effectuates rapid release of the cartridges into the cylinder.

Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 8, which show a casing configuration for revolver cartridge loader of the present invention comprising:

A rotating shaft member 10, front of which forms a shaft member 12, and a pin 121 is inserted into a front end thereof. A pointed gear member 14 is configured on a rear side of the shaft member 12 and formed integral therewith, and which is provided with a plurality of pointed protuberants 141. A small circular collar 15 of smaller external diameter is configured on a rear side of the pointed gear member 14 and formed integral therewith. A large circular collar 16 of larger external diameter is configured on an outer side of the small circular collar 15. A circular ring 18, which provides for fingers to rotate, is formed on a rear side of the large circular collar 16, and a coarse surface 181 is configured on a surface of the circular ring 18.

A packing member 20, a center of which is provided with a circular linking hole 22, movably rotates atop a circumferential surface of the small circular collar 15. Moreover, a plurality of protuberants 24 are formed on an outer periphery of the packing member 20.

A casing 30, an outer circumferential surface of which is configured with a plurality of successional arc-shaped grooves 32. A shaft hole 34 is defined central of the casing 30, and a plurality of cartridge bores 36 that penetrate through the casing 30 are equicicumferentially configured around a center line of the shaft hole 34. A locating hole 37 and two locating holes 39 are configured side of the shaft hole 34, wherein the locating hole 37 provides for a spring 33 and a ball bearing 35 to be disposed thereinto, and the two locating holes 39 provide for two inserting pins 38 and 38′ to respectively penetrate thereinto, and have fixing position functionality.

The shaft member 12 is movably disposed within the shaft hole 34, and the pin 121 rotatably displaces left and right amid spacing between the two inserting pins 38 and 38′.

Accordingly, fingers 50 can quickly grasp hold onto the successional arc-shaped grooves 32, which thereby enables rapid and convenient loading of cartridges 60 into a cylinder 70 (see FIG. 9).

The arc-shaped grooves 32 are six in number, and are respectively configured so as to be equidistributed on the surface of the casing 30, which thereby facilitate grasping hold with the fingers 50.

Referring to FIG. 1, six notches 26 are configured so as to be equidistributed on an outer periphery of the packing member 20, and which thereby form the six protuberants 24, and distance between the adjacent protuberants 24 are such to be equal. Each of the protuberants 24 extend interior of the respective cartridge bores 36, and flanges 241 on two sides of each of the protuberants 24 can come in contact with an inner wall surface 361 of the respective cartridge bores 36 (see FIG. 4).

Referring to FIG. 5, the pin 121 exerts pressure on the ball bearing 35 while displacing between the two inserting pins 38 and 38′, which thus actuates up and down flexible translatory movement of the ball bearing 35 within the locating hole 37.

Referring to FIG. 1, wherein the cartridge bores 36 of the casing 30 are six in number, and are configured so as to be equiidistributed in the casing 30.

To enable a further understanding of the said objectives and the technological methods of the invention herein, the brief description of the drawings below is followed by the detailed description of the preferred embodiments.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring to FIGS. 3, 6 and 7, which show a plurality of cartridges 60 respectively disposed in cartridge bores 36, at which time pointed protuberants 141 are respectively positioned between adjacent cartridge bores 36. A pin 121 is located between a ball bearing 35 and an inserting pin 38′, and thereby assumes a fixed position state, Fingers are used to rotate a circular ring 18, whereupon a shaft member 12, a pointed gear member 14, a small circular collar 15 and a large circular collar 16 rotate in synchronization. The pin 121 reverse displaces and depresses the ball bearing 35 downward, which thus recedes into a locating hole 37, thereby enabling the pin 121 to pass over the ball bearing 35 and position between the ball bearing 35 and an inserting pin 38, at which time the ball bearing 35 flips upward, and a side portion of the ball bearing 35 presses on the pin 121.

Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, which show the pointed protuberants 141 respectively engaging an inner edge of a flange 621 of a base 62 of each of the cartridges 60. Two flanges 241 of each protruberant 24 of the packing member 20 latch onto a respective inner wall surface 361 of each cartridge bore 36, and are thus not displaced along with displacing of the shaft member 12. The protuberants 24 abut against and thereby press a rear wall surface of the flange 62, and with such a configuration the cartridges 60 are securely disposed within a casing 30.

Referring to FIG. 9, which shows that fingers 50 are able to quickly and easily grasp hold of arc-shaped grooves 32 of the casing 30, and which thereby enables the cartridges 60 to be respectively aligned with chambers of a cylinder 70. Referring to FIG. 10, after the cartridges 60 have entered inside the cylinder 70, the circular ring 18 is thereupon reverse rotated, and, according to motion as depicted in FIGS. 6 and 7, the cartridges 60 are thereby released within the cylinder 70.

Primary characteristics of the present invention include design of the successional arc-shaped grooves 32 configured on the circumferential surface of the casing 30, with which a user is able to utilize sense of touch of the fingers 50 to quickly grasp hold of the casing 30 in an emergency or when in a dark environment. Hence, the present invention rapidly achieves objectives, regardless of whether the objective is loading the cartridges 60 into the casing 30 or aligning the cartridges fixedly positioned in the casing 30 and releasing the cartridges 60 into the cylinder 70,

It is of course to be understood that the embodiments described herein is merely illustrative of the principles of the invention and that a wide variety of modifications thereto may be effected by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
