Abstract
A firearm magazine assisted release device is provided. The release device comprises an external spring and method of securing that spring to the magazine. The spring is biased when the magazine is locked into a firearm, such that when the magazine release button is pressed stored potential energy is released as expansive kinetic energy, ejecting the magazine from the firearm.
Claims20
A release-assisting device for a firearm magazine comprising:
- a first static feature adapted to be externally secured to or integrated as part of a firearm magazine;
- and
- a first spring attached the first static structure,
- wherein the first static feature has a mechanism to mechanically secure it to a firearm magazine, and
- wherein when the first static feature is mechanically secured to a magazine and when the magazine is locked into a firearm's magazine well, the first spring will compress storing potential energy that can be harnessed to push the magazine out of the firearm.
A method of manufacturing a kit to attach a spring to the exterior of a firearm magazine to assist in releasing the magazine from the firearm, comprising:
- providing a mounting structure that has a negative cutout of the cross-section of a firearm magazine;
- providing a spring assembly;
- and
- mating the mounting structure with the spring assembly,
- wherein the cutout is adapted to receive a magazine therein thereby mounting the spring assembly on the magazine such that when the magazine is locked into a firearm, tension is put on the spring such that when the magazine is ejected, the spring assists releasing the magazine.
A method of ejecting a magazine from a firearm comprising:
- securing a spring to the exterior of a magazine;
- locking the magazine into a firearm;
- and
- releasing the magazine from the firearm;
- wherein when the magazine is locked into the firearm, the spring stores potential energy by being compressed;
- and wherein when the magazine is released from the firearm at least a portion of that stored potential energy is converted into kinetic energy assisting the magazine to be ejected from the firearm.
