Description

[0001] Magazine Advancer

[0002] Description

[0003] Background of the Invention:

[0004] This invention is intended for soldiers, security forces, and weapon bearers of various types of assault rifles and other rifles. The invention's product is mounted on the magazine housing of the weapon, into which the magazine is inserted. The invention's primary function is to expedite the insertion of the magazine into the weapon and prepare it for firing quickly and efficiently. As is well known, aligning the magazine with the weapon is necessary every time a magazine is loaded, which can lead to confusion and loss of visual contact with the enemy during an event requiring a quick response when the magazine is outside the weapon. The invention eliminates unnecessary delays and prevents the loss of visual contact with the hostile target during magazine insertion into the weapon, requiring no additional skill. The operation is singular; the product itself activates all the steps described in the following appendices until the magazine is loaded into the weapon, automatically inserting the magazine. This operation can also be performed while running, giving the fighter an advantage during combat and raids. In addition to the automatic and rapid operation, the product allows for two magazines to be available simultaneously — one in the weapon and one in the product. The invention also addresses the risk of accidental discharge in public places, as some weapon bearers are known to carry a magazine in the "insert" position within the weapon, which poses a public safety risk. The invention offers a solution by allowing the user to carry without a magazine in the "insert" position while still being able to quickly and automatically insert a magazine when needed.

[0005] Description of the Invention:

[0006] The product is mounted on the magazine housing of the weapon by a clasp (12), with the body (29) securely locked alongside the clasp (12).

[0007] Steps for Inserting the Magazine into the Product:

[0008] The magazine is inserted into body (29) within space (26). Arm (10) guides the magazine straight into the product. The magazine lowers the lifting base (1) by approximately 10 mm. Pulling cable (3) is pulled, drawing arm (4). Arm (4) releases clasp (5), and compression spring (0.5), positioned between clasp (5) and body (29), presses clasp (5) against the magazine. The upper fold of clasp (5) locks the magazine within the product. The steps for operating and inserting the magazine into the weapon are carried out by ring and cable (7), which initiate all the steps required to load the magazine into the weapon. With a single pull, ring (7) is pulled, drawing cable (7). Cable (7) pulls ring (9), passing through it, allowing continued pulling. Ring (9) pulls cable (9) approximately 5 mm.

[0009] Cable (9) attaches to clasp (13), causing it to open and release body (29). Ring and cable (9) are pulled another 4.5 cm. Ring (9) reaches the hole in arm (11). Body (29) descends and aligns with the magazine housing in the weapon, and arm (11) replaces arm (10) on the inner side. Shaft rod (19) descends, lowering guide (20) downward and rotating arm (10) to the outer side, allowing body (29) to return at the end of the operation. Lock opener (2.5) attaches to clasp (12) and opens clasp (5). Clasp (5) re-locks onto arm (4) and tightens with compression spring (0.4). Clasp (5) remains in an open position after each operation. The lifting base (1) is pulled, inserting the magazine into the weapon. At the end of the pull, ring (7) should be released, and pulling spring (8) returns the parts connected to it to their initial position. Pulling spring

[0010] (16) returns the product to its starting position.

[0011] Field of the Invention:

[0012] The current invention is an accessory for rifles, tailored to their specific types. Its sole purpose is to insert a magazine into the weapon quickly and automatically, preparing it for optimal and rapid firing.

[0047] Illustrations 10-11 :

[0048] • Details: The external view shows the alignment after activation. Body 29 is aligned with the magazine housing in the weapon. Lock Opener 2.5 is positioned close to Clamp 12, and Clasp 5 is in an open state. Shaft 19 is aligned, and Guide 20 is positioned downward. Arm 10 is laterally open, with the inner side of Arm 11 replacing Arm 10 as support for the magazine. Pulling Spring 16 is in a tense state. Arm 4, Compression Spring 0.4, Cable 3, Clamp 2, and Pulling Spring 8 remain unchanged. The entire sequence of steps is performed by pulling Ring and Cable 9 approximately 4.5 cm before inserting the magazine into the weapon.

[0049] The internal view shows Ring and Cable 9 pulled approximately 4.5 cm until they reach the hole in Arm 11 . The end of the pull for Ring and Cable 9 is performed by Cable 7. Lifting Base 1 is positioned at the upper side of Body 29 along Track 23. The end of the pull for Ring and Cable 7 completes the magazine insertion into the weapon.

[0050] Illustration 12:

[0051] • Details: The magazine insertion into the weapon is performed using the weapon's carrying strap with an activation mechanism, which is part of the invention. The mechanism can be assembled onto and disassembled from the weapon's barrel according to the user's preference and is secured with Lock 40, which is customized according to the weapon type. Ring 32 is attached to the weapon's carrying strap, and Clasp 38 is connected to Ring and Cable 7. The activation process for magazine insertion from the product into the weapon is done via the weapon's carrying strap. The carrying strap rests on the shoulder of the weapon bearer. By manually pressing on Lock Handle 31 (see marking for pressing location 31), Pull Limiter 33 and Pulling Cable 36 are released. Lowering the weapon downward pulls Pulling Cable 36, which in turn pulls Ring and Cable 7 to the end of the pull, inserting the magazine into the weapon. After the pull, the weapon is raised upward to release the tension, allowing

[0052] Body 29 to disconnect from the magazine and return to its initial state via Pulling Spring 8 and Pulling Spring 16.

[0053] Illustration 13:

[0054] • Details: Body 30 will be constructed as a single piece, onto which the parts will be assembled. Lock Handle 31 and Compression Spring 39 will be connected using Pin 47 in the center of Compression Spring 39 and Hole 43, and will be assembled in Hole 41 . This connection and tightening allow for free movement of Lock Handle 31 . Wheel 35 connects through Hole 46 to Hole 45 with Pin 37. Ring 32 is attached to Pulling Cable 36. Connector 0.36 joins Pull Limiter 33 with the two parts of Pulling Cable 36. Pulling Cable 36 and Pull Limiter 33 are threaded through Sleeve 42, passing through it and into Clamp 44. Pull Limiter 33 is a one-sided rounded and triangular stop. Pulling Cable 36 passes through Wheel 35, adjacent to Clamp 34.

[0055] Clasp 38 connects to Pulling Cable 36 with Pin 47. Lock 40 secures the mechanism onto the weapon barrel.
