Benefits of technology
The patent describes a device that can transfer gun powder from one chamber to another. The device has a mechanism that can be opened or closed to control the release of the gun powder. When the mechanism is closed, the chamber is isolated from the exit point, so no powder can be released. When the mechanism is opened, the device provides a path for the powder to be released. This invention allows for safer and controlled transfer of gun powder during training or other situations.
Problems solved by technology
Shooters can often save a significant amount of money associated with the cost of ammunition by reloading their own ammunition.
Those of skill in the art understand that atmospheric pressure and moisture can negatively affect the reloading process.
When gun powder is inserted into commercially available powder measures for subsequent reloading of ammunition, atmospheric pressure and moisture can result in densely packed and / or clumped gun powder within the powder measure, which can negatively affect the user's ability to determine the appropriate powder charge to be reloaded into the selected ammunition.
Densely packed and / or clumped gun powder within the powder measure can also result in difficulty associated with the release of the gun powder from the powder measure and into the ammunition casing to be reloaded.
If an insufficient amount of powder is utilized in the reloading process, a squib (i.e., a bullet that becomes stuck in the barrel of the gun) may result which can be extremely dangerous for shooters.
Over-loading ammunition with gun powder can also result in hazardous conditions for the shooter.

Embodiment Construction
[0014]By way of example, FIGS. 1-5 illustrate various implementations of a gun powder transfer device according to the present teachings. The various implementations provide a highly effective and efficient solution for accurately reloading ammunition cartridges with gun powder. It will be understood by those of skill in the art that the term “cartridge” may be used interchangeably with such terms as cases, casings, rounds, shells, etc. The gun powder transfer device according to the present teachings may be sized and configured for compatibility with any commercially available powder measure. For example, the gun powder transfer device may be easily coupled to an exit aperture of a powder measure so as to allow accurate measurement and proper inspection of the charge (or quantity) of gun powder (for example, to ensure that the charge of gun powder is not moist, clumped and / or densely packed) prior to loading the charge of gun powder in an ammunition cartridge.

A gun powder transfer device includes a gun powder load chamber configured for receiving a quantity of gun powder from a powder measure; a gun powder exit aperture; and a gun powder release mechanism disposed between the gun powder load chamber and the gun powder exit aperture. The gun powder release mechanism is alterable between a closed state and an open state. In the closed state, the gun powder load chamber is isolated from the gun powder exit aperture such that none of the quantity of gun powder may be released from the gun powder load chamber. In the open state, the gun powder release mechanism provides a flow path for enabling the quantity of gun powder to be released from the load chamber and into communication with the gun powder exit aperture.
Description
RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62 / 245,330, filed Oct. 23, 2015, titled “GUN POWDER TRANSFER AND AGITATOR DEVICES;” the content of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to the reloading of ammunition cartridges with gun powder, and more particularly to a gun powder transfer device for effectively reloading ammunition cartridges with gun powder.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Reloading fired ammunition casings is an increasingly popular hobby of avid shooters. Shooters can often save a significant amount of money associated with the cost of ammunition by reloading their own ammunition. In addition, reloading allows a shooter to test different loads and bullet weights that can be tailored to the gun of the shooter's choice, thus resulting in more accurate shooting. Those of skill in the art understand that atmospheric pr...
