A paintball loader comprising a paintball storage compartment for holding a supply of paintballs, a frame supporting a paintball feeding arrangement for actively feeding paintballs in the compartment through an outlet, a supporting plate, at least two abutments, and a suspension member having one end operatively connected to a central region of the supporting plate and a second end operatively connected to the frame, the suspension member being spring loaded to press the supporting plate against the abutments in a direction substantially opposite the feeding direction. The supporting plate is depressable against a force of the spring loaded suspension member, for moving said supporting plate in the feeding direction A from a first position, in which the supporting plate is pressed against said abutments and serves to guide paintballs in said compartment towards said points of entry, to a second, depressed position.

Paintball loader

A ball feeding arrangement () comprising: a rotor element () for pushing a ball (); a transmission element () connected to the rotor element; and a drive element () for driving a rotational movement of the rotor element () via the transmission element (), which drive element () is intended to be driven by a drive motor (), wherein one of the drive element () and the transmission element () has at least one protrusion (-), and the other of the drive element and the transmission element () has a guiding surface () adapted to guide the at least one protrusion (-) during relative rotation between the drive element () and the transmission element (), wherein the at least one protrusion (-) is yieldingly biased against the guiding surface (), wherein the biasing force, a shape of the guiding surface () and a shape of the at least one protrusion are adapted to enable transfer of a rotational force of a given magnitude from the drive element () to the transmission element () such that a relative rotation between the drive element () and the transmission element () occurs when the rotor element () is subject to a rotational resistance greater than the given magnitude, wherein the biasing force, a shape of the guiding surface () and a shape of the at least one protrusion (-) are further adapted such that, occasionally during relative rotation between the drive element () and the transmission element (), a pressure is generated between the at least one protrusion (-) and the guiding surface () that urges the transmission element () to rotate in a rotational direction opposite a rotational direction of the drive element ().

Ball feeding arrangement

A paintball loader, more specifically a paintball loader which rapidly and forcibly feeds paintballs to a paintball marker, comprises a rotor body having at least one rotor fin, and a drive motor for rotating said rotor body in a first direction. The paintball loader has a central outlet located radially inwards of the tip of the rotor fin and an abutment body arranged to interact with the at least one rotor fin. When the rotor body is rotated, a paintball, located in a space formed between the at least one rotor fin and the abutment body, is pushed out of the paintball loader through the central outlet.
