AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The technical effect of this patent text is to provide a system that includes a handle attached to the block, which makes it easier to manipulate the block against the spring. The handle has a second opening longitudinally disposed between the opening and the base, which is closed before the upper opening.

Problems solved by technology

Current magazines have seen little improvements over the many years they have been available.
That is, the magazines are not adaptable to meet varying standards of compliance.
Specifically, some states have placed limitations on the number of cartridges a magazine is capable of housing.
Other limitations include various regulations that would require the fixation of an otherwise detachable magazine in attempts to prevent rapid reloading of the firearm.
These limitations and regulations have resulted in firearm owners being forced to turn over high capacity magazines or modify their firearms and magazine in such a way to prevent rapid reloading.
It has created such a high cost on the owner to have to re-purchase compliant magazines as well as the states to police and recycle non-compliant components.

Embodiment Construction

[0057]Preferred embodiments of the present invention and their advantages may be understood by referring to FIGS. 1-43, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements.

[0058]A cartridge magazine 100 has a hollow interior 102 defined by at a plurality of sidewalls 104 attached to one another an extending from a base 106 towards an opening at a top end 108. The opening at the top end 108 is configured to facilitate the transition of a cartridge 150 from the magazine 100 into a firearm. A spring 110 in communication with the base 106 biases a block 112 within the hollow interior 102 toward the top end 108. A sidewall 104A has an aperture 114A at least as large as a cartridge 150 being inserted therein. On the opposite sidewall 104B, is an aperture 114B that is provided generally perpendicular to the top end 108. A lever 116 having one end attached to the block 112 extends outward through the aperture 114B.

[0059]The top end 108 is further configured to retain the block 112 and sp...
