Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a mechanical device for loading ammunition into a small-arm magazine.
  • Small arms such as rifles, semi-automatic and automatic rifles and carbines, sub-machine guns and light machine guns use magazines for holding the ammunition and feeding it into the breech for firing.
  • infantry men are usually issued more than one magazine so that when one magazine is exhausted it can swiftly be replaced by a ready loaded new one. It happens, however, quite frequently that all ready loaded magazines are exhausted during combat and the soldier is faced with the need to reload his magazines using for the purpose either ammunition which he carries in his belt pouches or, when he is firing from a protected position such as a stronghold or an armoured vehicle, bulk ammunition kept, for example, in a crate.
  • a magazine of a small-arm comprises a spring loaded follower and during loading of the magazine the follower has to be forcibly depressed by the operator's thumb against the action of its spring with the required force increasing gradually with each loaded round.
  • the amount of force that can be applied by the thumb is limited, it is easily understood that loading a small-arm magazine by manually positioning the individual rounds therein is a tedious operation.
  • each clip holding a certain number of rounds - say 5 to 10 - and for loading the clip there is provided a so-called loader which is a guide member adapted to be affixed to the mouth of the magazine and to engage a clip in such a fashion that the ammunition rounds are smoothly guided from the clip via the loader into the magazine.
  • loader which is a guide member adapted to be affixed to the mouth of the magazine and to engage a clip in such a fashion that the ammunition rounds are smoothly guided from the clip via the loader into the magazine.
  • a mechanical loader for loading ammunition into a small-arm magazine comprising:
  • the operator can utilize all his arm muscles, e.g. by gripping an associated handle, rather than only his thumb and in this way much more force can be exerted with much less effort and the entire amount of ammunition rounds contained in the loader device which may correspond to the capacity of the magazine, may be transferred into the magazine in one swift motion lasting a second or even less.
  • the ammunition round may be placed into the casing of the loader either individually or in readily prearranged clusters, e.a. in clips or in special packages.
  • a ready packed ammuniation package fitting into the casing of a loader according to the invention and adapted for the penetration of the pusher member therein. With such a package all that the operator has to do is to place it inside the loader, shut the lid of the latter, mount the loader on the magazine and operate the pusher member, the duration of this sequence of manipulations being not more than several seconds.
  • the bottom of the casing of a loader according to the invention is fitted with guide means such as ribs which ensure that at the tine of transfer of an ammmition round from the loader to the magazine, the round is flush with a lip of the latter, whereby an unobstructed and smooth transfer is ensured.
  • guide means such as ribs which ensure that at the tine of transfer of an ammmition round from the loader to the magazine, the round is flush with a lip of the latter, whereby an unobstructed and smooth transfer is ensured.
  • a loader 1 is adapted for mounting on the mouth region of a magazine 2 and to receive a clip 3 holding a plurality of ammunition rounds 4. Once clip 3 is firmly held by loader 1 the operator depresses the ammunition rounds with his thumb until clip 3 is entirely stripped and all rounds are received by magazine 2. Where magazine 2 is adapted to hold more rounds than clip 3, another clip is mounted and the operation is repeated.
  • the loader according to the invention shown in Fig. 2 comprises a casing 5 having a delivery opening 6.
  • the terminal portion of casing 5 near delivery opening 6 is slightly broader than the main body and side walls 7 thereof are provided with overhanging flanges 8 thus forming a gripper assembly 7, 8 adapted to engage the mouth portion of the magazine.
  • At the bottom casing 5 comprises guide means in form of two ribs 10 whose ends near the gripping assembly 7, 8 serve as stop for the magazine 9 and which furthermore ensure that any round arriving at the mouth of magazine 9 will be flush with the lips thereof.
  • a lid 11 is hinged near the end of casing 5 opposite delivery opening 6 on a hinge 12 retained by means of two flat head portions 13 and engaging lid 11 in slots 14 provided in lugs 15. In this way when the lid is closed it can be pushed forward by an extent corresponding to the length of slots 14.
  • lid 11 At its front part lid 11 comprises a tongue 16 which when the lid is closed and pushed forward as specified, becomes positioned underneath gripper 7,8 whereby the lid 11 is secured in its closed position.
  • Lid 11 comprises a longitudinal slot 17 holding a pusher assembly 19.
  • Pusher assembly 19 comprises a pusher member 20 located on the inner side of lid 11 and depending from a retainer plate 21 located on the outer side of lid 11 (see also Fig. 6).
  • the pusher assembly further comprises a handle 22 whose lower, rounded portion 23 is eccentrically hinged to a vertical pin 24 so as to be swingable between a folded, horizontal and an upright position and to be arrested in the latter.
  • a helical spring 25 positioned between retainer plate 21 and head 26 of pin 24 biases the pin into the depressed position, the arrangement being such that spring 25 is in its normal compressed state in which the pin is depressed in both the horizontal and vertical positions of handle 22, and becomes extended in an intermediary transitional position of the handle. Accordingly, once the handle has passed the transitional position it snaps into vertical or horizontal position, as the case may be.
  • Pin 24 is freely turnable about its longitudinal axis and in this way the folded handle 22 can be turned from a rest position in which it is directed outwards as shown in Fig. 5.
  • guide member 27 On one of its side walls casing 5 comprises an integral, trough-shaped guide member 27 having at its bottom an ejector 28 comprising a slanted gliding surface 29.
  • Guide member 27 is adapted to receive the mouth portion of a magazine 9 and by reciprocating the magazine in the guide member the loaded rounds of ammunition are ejected: when moving the magazine from right to left the slanted surface 29 portion of ejector 28 glides over the foremost round of ammunition causing a slight depression thereof and when subsequently the magazine is moved back from left to right the vertical portion of ejector 28 catches the rear of the cartridge of the foremost round and prevents it from following the motion of the magazine whereupon at the end of the back motion the foremost round is ejected.
  • the clip 30 shown in Fig. 3 is a conventional one and it holds in a manner known per se, a plurality of ammunition rounds.
  • the package 31 shown in Fig. 4 is specially designed for the purposes of the present invention. As shown it comprises a box of prismatic, rectangular shape and is adapted to fit into the part of casing 5 between hinge 12 and gripper assembly 7, 8. At its upper side the box 31 comprises a strip 32, having similar dimensions as slot 17 of lid 11. When the lid 11 is shut slot 17 overlies strip 32. Strip 32 of box 31 is connected to the flanking portions of the upper side by weakness lines such that it can easily be torn away by means of pusher member 20.
  • the first end wall 33 of box 31 is connected to the neighbouring four walls by three weak connections and one strong connection so that when the ammunition rounds inside the box are pushed forward the weak connections yield and end wall 33 is folded over the fourth connection, thereby clearing the way for the passage of the ammunition rounds from package 31 into magazine 9.
  • the opposite end wall of the box is so designed as to enable the penetration of the pusher member 20.
  • the box may be made without strip 32 and have at its upper side a window-like opening of similar size as slot 17 of lid 11 and so located that when the box is positioned inside the loader, slot 17 overlies said window-like opening.
  • pusher member 20 can move essentially unobstructed from the second end wall of box 33 to near the first end wall thereof.
  • the pusher member 20 tears away strip 32 and the end wall 33 is forced open and folded over one of its connections to the body of the box.
  • magazine 9 is withdrawn and the loader is ready for another operation.
  • handle 22 When the loader is no longer required, handle 22 is folded back into the position shown in Fig. 6 and is then turned by 180° about axis 24 so as to come back into the rest position shown in the lefthand side of Fig. 7.
