[0006] Background Art

[0007] Existing devices for loading rifle magazines are defined by only one caliber and one bullet height and one magazine shape, so when there is a need to load different rifle magazines, more devices are needed. Based on the available documentation and its search, no device was found that can fill magazines of different calibers in a short time. The author has reported several types of magazine loading so far, namely with applications P-2019 / 1126 for bullets longer than 42mm and application P-2019 / 1127 for bullets shorter than 42mm, and also with application P-2020 / 0772, as well as PCT application W02022005318

[0008] Disclosure of Invention

[0009] The portable and stationary automatic universal multi-caliber magazine loader for automatic rifles and carbines, according to this invention, is designed in such a way that in the basic execution, it has a mount on which are the chainswheels placed that drive two parallel chains, and to them are attached ammunition cassettes that receive all calibers of rifle bullets. By starting the chain, the ammunition cassettes move to the plate with the loading mechanism, a sensor is placed on the frame to stop movement, and at the same time in the ammunition cassette a bullet pusher that is connected by the chain coupling and starting the motor via the sensor, the chain leads the pusher to the end of the cassette to the magazine holder, through the ammunition cassette that has multiple brakes for different quantities according to the calibers of the bullets, through the magazine holder, loads the magazine with ammunition. By activating the sensor at the end point the pusher returns to the starting position, and over the chains the ammunition cassette is moved one place, that is, the next ammunition cassette is brought and the procedure is repeated. This system in one pass of the pusher loads the magazine fully.

[0010] The device can simultaneously carry several different calibers of ammunition in the ammunition cassettes, while in one cassette there is one caliber, when loading the device with ammunition, the caliber loaded in the cassette is selected through a push on the buttons. When using the device, through the push of the buttons, the caliber that the user wants to load in the magazine is selected and thus the motor starts over the chainwheel to move the chain to bring the first full ammunition cassette with the selected caliber to the plate, or the motor starts the gear that thus moves the loading mechanism housing over the sliding rails to the position of the appropriate full ammunition cassette, where a sensor that is on the case of the mechanism stops the case to keep the pusher and the plate in proper relation to the ammunition cassette that is fixed on the bearing plate of the cassette, to carry out loading of the magazine.

[0011] The advantage of this construction is reflected in the fact that the loading of the magazine of automatic rifles and carbines is carried out quickly regardless of the caliber of the ammunition, regardless of whether the device is stationary or in motion and in an extremely short time interval.
