Patent ID: 10209018

Abstract:
A speed loader clip for supporting a plurality of cartridges in a cylindrical array, prior to being loaded into a plurality of individual chambers configured within a rotated open cylinder barrel of a revolver style firearm. A band of a solid one piece plasticized material includes individual pairs of inward projecting and arcuate grasping portions adapted for supporting individual ones of the cartridges. End support tabs extend between each of the pairs of projecting portions for preventing cartridge slide-out during loading into the cylinder barrel. End clasp portions are integrated into each of opposite ends of the band to permit the clip to be carried in a closed position with the supported cartridges so that, upon inserting the projecting tips of the clip supported cartridge into the barrel cylinder of the revolver, a tab located in proximity to a selected one of the inter-engaged end clasp portions is manipulated to open the band and to permit the cartridges to fall into the individual cylinder chambers.
