US 11,448,475 B1 · Hand operated, mechanical magazine loader, for ammunition on stripper clips

Abstract

This invention is generally related to the firearm/shooting and magazine loading industry. Many firearms are fed ammunition via a detachable magazine, which is generally a rectangular tube with an internal guide, operated by a spring. Ammunition is typically loaded from the top, one round at a time. Ammunition generally comes either loose, not contained in any grouping outside of the box, or on stripper clips, a small strip of metal that usually holds between five and ten rounds. This invention loads ammunition on stripper clips into magazines using mechanical leverage with a plunger (1) operated by a lever (2), travelling down rails (3), that pushes the rounds into the magazine. The stripper clip and magazine are held into place by their respective holders (4)(5).
