Abstract
An apparatus and method for loading ammunition magazines that allows for loading in an efficient and fast manner, proper storage of ammunition and limited, if any, contact between the user and the lead coating of the ammunition. The apparatus relieves thumb fatigue and blisters due to the circular indent that depresses the button on the magazine. The apparatus is also designed to prevent fouling because of the lack of contact between the wax and residue of the bullet and the mechanical device.
Claims19
A magazine ammunition loading apparatus comprising:
- a slide housing having a zig zag patterned ammunition holding configuration, wherein a plurality of channels are located adjacent to each other and configured to hold ammunition, wherein three of the channels have ammunition exits on a left side of the slide housing and two of the channels have ammunition exits on a right side of the slide housing;
- a main housing adapted to fit and mate with the slide housing, the main housing having a plurality of ammunition openings corresponding with the plurality of channels, wherein the ammunition openings are covered by retention caps;
- and
- a magazine holder having a groove for holding an empty magazine, the magazine holder having an indentation configured for engaging a magazine button when the magazine is slid into the groove.
A magazine ammunition loading apparatus comprising:
- a slide housing having a staggered ammunition holding configuration, a plurality of channels with several of the channels having ammunition exits on one side of the slide housing with the remaining plurality of the channels having ammunition exits on the opposite side of the slide housing;
- a main housing that mates with the slide housing, the main housing having a plurality of ammunition openings, wherein the ammunition openings are selectively closed by retention caps;
- and
- a magazine holder having a groove for holding an empty magazine, the magazine holder having an indentation configured to engage a magazine button when the magazine is slid into the groove.
A magazine ammunition loading apparatus comprising:
- a slide housing having a plurality of channels for containing ammunition, the slide housing having several channels having ammunition exits on one side and the remaining channels having ammunition exits on the opposite side of the slide housing;
- a main housing that mates with the slide housing to form a delivery assembly, the main housing has a plurality of ammunition openings corresponding to the ammunition exits of the slide housing;
- and
- a plurality of retention caps adapted to lock the main housing onto the slide housing and the plurality of retention caps adapted to temporarily contain the ammunition within the plurality of channels and within the delivery assembly;
- and
- wherein the delivery assembly is adapted to operationally engage a magazine holder.
