A clamping assembly for clutching a firearm magazine during loading of a cartridge into the firearm magazine includes a main frame having a back stop portion, a first side portion, and a second side portion; a first side plate; and a second side plate. The clamping assembly further includes a first connection plate disposed between the first side plate and the first side portion of the main frame and pivotably coupled to both the main frame and the first side plate. The clamping assembly further includes a second connection plate disposed between the second side plate and second side portion of the main frame and pivotably coupled to both the main frame and the second side plate.

Firearm magazine clamping assemblies and loader assemblies

Loaders and loader assemblies are provided. A loader that facilitates loading a cartridge into a firearm magazine includes a press member that extends from a first end to a second end. The loader further includes a plunger member that extends generally perpendicularly from the press member to a free end. The free end sized to engage the cartridge when loading the firearm magazine.

Firearm magazine loaders and loader assemblies

Speed loaders and assemblies for loading cartridges in revolver cylinders are provided. A speed loader assembly for loading cartridges in a revolver cylinder includes a speed loader, the speed loader including a body which defines a plurality of passages, each of the plurality of passages configured to accommodate a cartridge therein. The speed loader assembly further includes a protective casing removably connectable to the speed loader, the casing including a sidewall defining an interior and having a closed polygonal cross-sectional profile. Portions of cartridges extending from the passages are encased by the protective casing.

Speed loaders and assemblies for loading cartridges in revolver cylinders

Speed loaders for loading cartridges revolver cylinders are provided. A speed loader includes a main body which is configured to accommodate a plurality of cartridges therein. The speed loader further includes a plunger movable along a longitudinal axis between a first position and a second position. Movement of the plunger from the first position to the second position causes ejection of the plurality of cartridges from the main body.

A brake mechanism having a chain locator comprises a chain coupled between a braking mechanism and a railway car brake system, a marker is releasably secured to the chain, and a sensor is coupled to the railway car proximate the chain for detecting the state of the railway car brake system. The chain is moveable between a first position in which the marker is not sensed by the sensor, and a second position in which the sensor detects the marker.

Chain locator

A railway car control valve comprises a brake pipe port, an auxiliary reservoir port, a main piston configured to compare air pressures at the brake pipe port and the auxiliary reservoir port, and a one-way check valve positioned intermediate the brake pipe port and the auxiliary reservoir port. The one way check valve comprises a body having a bore extending from its first end to its second end, an elongated insert configured to reduce the rate of air flow through the body, and a sleeve received on the insert's outer surface. The insert is received in the body bore. One of the insert and the sleeve is configured to move between a first position and a second position that either allows air to flow or prevents air from flowing, respectively.

One-way check valve

A load indicator for use with a railway car hand brake that is connected to a railway car brake rigging comprising a housing, a plurality of levers pivotally mounted in the housing, each of the plurality of levers having a first end and an opposite second end, a plate coupled to each of the plurality of lever second ends, wherein the plate is moveable with respect to the housing, and a plurality of springs each operatively coupled between a respective one of the plurality of lever first ends and the housing. At least one of the plurality of lever first ends is moveable between a first position in which tension exerted on the plate from the railway car hand brake is within a predetermined range, and a second position in which tension exerted on the load indicator from the railway car brake rigging is outside the predetermined range.
