Abstract:
1. A loader for a magazine having a plurality of vertically stacked bullets therein, a spring mounted internally in said magazine for urging said bullets upwardly towards an open end of said magazine and against a retaining means which holds the bullets within the magazine, a loader having a vertical channel receiving therein a rear flat edge of the cartridge, the channel being formed by a pair of flat vertical side members spaced apart in parallel relation, the magazine being made of ferrous metal and the loader being made of non-ferrous material, a vertically extending tab mounted in the upper portion of the channel and having a downwardly vertically extending plunger mounted at the lower end of the tab for engaging the edge of an uppermost bullet mounted within the magazine, a pair of outwardly and horizontally extending arms mounted at the lower ends of the flat vertical sides of the loader, a magnet mounted on the loader on a side thereof opposite from the rear flat edge so as to hold the loader in sliding engagement with the magazine whereby, when the user's fingers engage the arms on said loader and urge the loader downwardly against the action of the spring within the magazine, the uppermost bullet is urged away from the retaining means at the top of the magazine and whereby an additional bullet can be inserted into the magazine above the then uppermost bullet after which the loader can be slid upwardly so that the plunger is completely above the last added bullet to permit the last added bullet to be pushed in by hand against the inner flat edge of the magazine.
