ABSTRACT:
A rapid loading device for revolvers which provides releasable securement of cartridges in condition for simultaneous loading of the cartridges into the cylinder chambers of the revolver. The device includes a first cylindrical member having an open end and a closed end which forms its base and a first disc having a center bore and a plurality of axially extending, radially distributed cartridge-receiving bores adapted to align with and introduce the cartridges into the cylinder chambers of the revolver. The first disc is disposed within the first cylindrical member and is mechanically coupled to the inner sidewall thereof. The device also includes a star sprocket whose lateral projections releasably lock each cartridge flange while laterally supporting each cartridge in conjunction with the first disc and a mechanism for releasing the star sprocket system in order to release the cartridges when the cartridge ends are in the cylinder chambers of the revolver. The mechanism includes a second cylindrical member which fits concentrically within the first cylindrical member and which has an open end which is adjacent to the open end of the first cylindrical member and a closed end which has a plurality of bores which are aligned with the bores of the first disc, a spring means for resiliently biasing the second cylindrical members in relation to the first cylindrical member and a coupling device for rotating the star sprocket in response to the second cylindrical member being pressed into the first cylindrical member.
