Slide takedown and magazine disconnect assembly for firearms

A firearm comprises a frame which detachably receives a magazine, trigger, and a reciprocating slide moveable between a forward position and rearward removal position. A pivotable takedown lever is selectively engageable with the slide between blocking and non-blocking positions. A magazine disconnect member movably responsive to inserting the magazine into or removing the magazine from the firearm is alterable between a rearward locked position which prevents movement of the trigger to disable the firing mechanism, and a forward unlocked position which allows movement of the trigger and concurrently engages the takedown lever to prevent the takedown lever from leaving the blocking position associated with the ready-to-fire condition of the firearm. The slide is removable from the firearm when the takedown lever is in the non-blocking position. Engagement between the magazine disconnect member and takedown lever prevents full insertion of the magazine if the lever is left in the non-blocking position.

Gravity-fed firearm magazine speed loader

PCT designated stageWO2026036165A1Ammunition loadingMagazineCartridge
A gravity-fed firearm magazine speed loader is disclosed, comprising a hopper that funnels loose rimmed cartridges into an elongate feeding channel through a constriction entrance which engages cartridge rims to achieve adjacent parallel alignment. The feeding channel narrows to tip the cartridges by their bullet ends into a longitudinal alignment and terminates in an outlet configured for attachment to a separable magazine adapter. The adapter defines a channel aligned with the outlet and includes a loading interface oriented at an angle toward a backstop adjacent a widened entrance. As cartridges exit the channel in longitudinal alignment, they contact the backstop, pivot, and fall under gravity into a spring-loaded containment channel of a magazine in adjacent parallel alignment. The system enables smooth, reliable transfer of rimmed cartridges while accommodating various magazine types via interchangeable adapters.

A twin-shot single-shaft propulsion type press

This invention discloses a dual-shot, single-axis propulsion tumbler, comprising a counterweight, two upright plates, a mounting plate, and a tumbler. The bottoms of the two upright plates are fixedly connected to the top of the counterweight. This invention, by setting up structural components such as a counterweight, upright plates, mounting plate, tumbler, pull rod, and clamping block, and through the use of a clamping assembly inside the cavity, allows the fixing post to move into the interior of the pull rod, thereby fixing the clamping block to the top of the counterweight. Through the cooperation of the moving assembly and the clamping assembly, the fixing post can be moved out of the interior of the pull rod, allowing the clamping block to disengage from the tumbler. This invention has the advantage of preventing the dual-shot, single-axis propulsion tumbler from shaking during use. This dual-shot, single-axis propulsion tumbler solves the problem of existing dual-shot, single-axis propulsion tumblers that cannot prevent shaking and require manual pressure to prevent shaking.
