Abstract
A loading device for insertion of cartridges into a revolver moon clip, which has a base ( ′) with a cylindrical post ( ′) in the center covered by an adapter sleeve ( ). The adapter sleeve has a hexagonal shaped top that holds the moon clip in place. A number of loading levers ( ′) that have individual inwardly sloping radial cavities ( ) are pivotally attached to the body and are disposed between a pair of upright guides ( ) in the base. The levers are held in an open position allowing cartridges to be inserted into each of the cavities. After the cartridges are placed in the lever cavities and the moon clip is placed over the adapter sleeve the levers are manually compressed together in pairs snapping them into the recesses in the moon clip. The loaded clip is removed by lifting with the operators thumb and forefinger. A second embodiment functions in the same manner except the body ( ) contains a series of inwardly sloping radial cavities ( ) and a hexagonal post ( ) is located in the center of the body with the loading levers ( ) attached to the body in the middle of the inwardly sloping radial cavities.
