Abstract
A loading aid device for a stick magazine (2) includes a holder part (1) for inserting the stick magazine, a feed part (13) held on the holder part for displaceable guidance of cartridge(s) (8) to be loaded, a thrust piece (14) which is adjustable between passive and active positions in order to push down the magazine feed (11) together with cartridges possibly already located in the receiving space (9) of the stick magazine and to free up a front free space in a front region of the receiving space, and a pusher (16) which is adjustable between a feed position and a push-in position for pushing one of the cartridges to be loaded into a rear free space which can be freed up during pulling back of the thrust piece from the active position in the direction of the passive position in a rear region of the receiving space.
Claims17
A loading aid device for a stick magazine that includes a receiving space for cartridges and a magazine feeder which is acted upon by a magazine spring for pushing an uppermost one of the cartridges located in the stick magazine against magazine lips of the stick magazine, the load aiding device comprising:
- a holder part configured for insertion of and fastening the stick magazine (8);
- a feed part held on the holder part for displaceable guidance of at least one cartridge to be loaded;
- a thrust piece which, in order to push down the magazine feeder together with cartridges possibly already located in the receiving space of the stick magazine and to free up a front free space in a front region of the receiving space, is adjustable between a passive position, in which the thrust piece is adapted to be located entirely outside the receiving space of the stick magazine, and an active position, in which a tappet portion of the thrust piece is configured to protrude between the magazine lips into the receiving space of the stick magazine;
- and
- a pusher which is adjustable between a push-in position and a feed position, such that the cartridge to be loaded in the active position of the thrust piece and feed position of the pusher is feedable from the feed part into the front free space of the receiving space and is pushable by the pusher during adjustment of the pusher from the feed position into the push-in position into a rear free space that is freed up during pulling back of the thrust piece from the active position in a direction of the passive position in a rear region of the receiving space up until complete receiving in the stick magazine.
A method for loading a stick magazine which has a receiving space for cartridges and a magazine feeder which is acted upon by a magazine spring for pushing an uppermost of the cartridges located in the receiving space against magazine lips of the stick magazine, the method comprising:
- providing a loading aid device which has a holder part for inserting and fastening the stick magazine and a feed part held on the holder part for displaceable guidance of at least one cartridge to be loaded;
- in order to load the cartridge inserted into the feed part:
- adjusting a thrust piece from a passive position, in which the thrust piece is located entirely outside the receiving space of the stick magazine, into an active position, with a tappet portion of the thrust piece traveling between the magazine lips into the receiving space of the stick magazine and pushing down the magazine feeder or the magazine feeder and any cartridges already located in the receiving space of the stick magazine,
- pivoting a pusher from a push-in position into a feed position, wherein the cartridge to be loaded slides into the freed up front free space in the front region of the receiving space and up until bearing against the thrust piece projecting into the receiving space below the magazine lips,
- retracting the thrust piece in a direction of the passive position, and,
- after freeing up of a rear free space in a rear region of the receiving space of the stick magazine, pushing the cartridge to be loaded into the rear free space by the pusher through an adjustment thereof from the feed position into the push-in position until the cartridge to be loaded is fully received in the receiving space.
