Abstract:
A small bullet loading device removably fitted to an air gun, said device being of the type comprising a removable loader (50) including a housing (1) being fitted in its inside with a revolving, small bullet carrying drum (2) being provided with a plurality of axial through holes (3) distributed at uniform angular intervals around the turning axis of said drum (2), each hole (3) being apt to house a small bullet, said housing (1) being provided with actuating means designed to in turn revolve said drum (2) thereby causing it to sweep one of said angular intervals in one only direction, and with retention means designed to in turn hold each of said axial holes (3) in alignment with a barrel of said gun, said gun integrating means to actuate said actuating means; characterized in that said actuating means comprise a slide (4) being linearly guided on said housing (1) and kinematically linked to an oscillating driving member (5) provided with a resilient driving catch (6) being apt to in turn engage stops of the drum (2) in order to thus revolve it in one only sense, said slide (4) in each turn carrying out a first driving shift in a first sense because of being pushed by a first protuberance (7) of an oscillating acuator (8) forming said actuating means, said first driving shift being then followed by a second shift in the opposite sense serving to regain a starting position, said second shift being brought about by the fact that said slide is on this occasion pushed by a second protuberance (9) of said oscillating actuator (8), said actuator being fitted to said gun by means of a pin-joint (10) and cooperating with a lever being manually actuated by a user of said gun, said lever thus shifting said actuator (8) thereby bringing about its oscillation in both senses.
