ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for reloading spent ammunition shells includes a plurality of tools supported on a shaft above an elevatable carriage which define a plurality of reloading stations spaced circumferentially about the shaft, one of the stations having a priming tool and a power recharging tool, and a shell holder plate supported on the carriage for coincident vertical movement therewith and adapted for rotation about the shaft and to receive a plurality of separate spent ammunition shells and to position these shells simultaneously and sequentially in different reloading stations. The reloading apparatus also includes important new safety features which (1) prevent a freshly reprimed shell from being accidentally reprimed again and possible detonated; (2) isolate a new, live primer being inserted into a shell in the repriming operation from other live primers in an automatic primer feed mechanism; and (3) isolates the main source of powder from the delivery funnel in a powder feed mechanism during the powder recharging operation.
