ABSTRACT:
A speed-loading mechanism for securing and releasing cartridges into a multiple chamber cylinder of a firearm comprises a plurality of links pivotally connected together. The device comprises a plurality of substantially identical intermediate links and a master link and an end link establishing opposite ends of the device. Each intermediate link has first and second disk-like portions. The first disk portion of one link is juxtaposed beneath and rotatably connected to the second disk-like portion of an adjacent link. A flat coil spring sandwiched between the juxtaposed first and second disk portions biasing the link series into a circular configuration matching the revolver chamber pattern to enable simultaneous insertion of the cartridges into the cylinder chambers. In the circular configuration, each cartridge base is supported on the associated second disk portion by means of flanges defining retaining slots for the cartridge rim with a locking detent cooperating with the slots in a locking position to captivate the rim. Upon exertion of a pulling force on the master link causing a serial hyperextension and outward rotation of the individual links from the circular configuration past the state of substantial linear alignment of the links, the respective locking detents unlock the cartridge bases from the second disk portions enabling release of the cartridges into the cylinder chambers.
