Benefits of technology

The patent describes a method for loading cartridges into a firearm magazine. The method involves using a hopper with a rotatable plate, slide, and funnel to hold and transport cartridges. The method allows for easy selection and attachment of different calible and cartridge magazines to the firearm.

Overall, the method simplifies the process of loading cartridges into a firearm and ensures a secure and proper orientation of the cartridges during transport.

Problems solved by technology

It can be difficult to load more than a few magazines at a time by hand.
It is often a time consuming and tiring event to line up and then force the cartridges into the magazine.
