Magazine loader

Abstract

A magazine loader include a main body, a rounds recess, and a magazine recess. A plurality of rounds are provided to the rounds recess and positionally maintained by a rounds recess bottom, first and second rounds recess ledges, and first and second rounds recess sides. With a magazine positioned within the magazine recess and the rounds within the rounds recess, as the rounds are slidably moved towards the magazine recess, pivot points of each round successively abuts a downwardly angled portion of the second rounds recess side and pivots to angle a second round end of each round towards the magazine and over another downwardly angled portion of the first rounds recess side, so that each round successively enters the magazine.

Therefore, I claim: 
     
       1. A method of using an ammunition magazine loader to load a plurality of ammunition rounds into an ammunition magazine having a follower, a spring providing a spring force biasing the follower upwardly, and a magazine shape, with each round respectively including first and second rounds ends and a pivot point, and with the magazine loader comprising
 a main body having a first main body end, a second main body end, and a main body length, 
 a rounds recess, extending along the main body length, and having first and second rounds recess ends, a rounds recess bottom, first and second rounds recess sides, and first and second rounds recess ledges, with the rounds recess bottom, first rounds recess side, and first rounds recess ledge defining a first rounds cavity between the rounds recess bottom and the first rounds recess ledge, with the rounds recess bottom, second rounds recess side, and second rounds recess ledge defining a second rounds cavity between the rounds recess bottom and the second rounds recess ledge, and with the rounds recess being shaped to hold the plurality of rounds therein with each respective first rounds end positioned within the first rounds cavity and under the first rounds recess ledge and with each second rounds end positioned within the second rounds cavity and under the second rounds recess ledge, at least a portion of the rounds recess being shaped to accept each round into the rounds recess, the second rounds recess side terminating at a first downwardly angled portion, and the first rounds recess side including a second downwardly angled portion, and 
 a magazine recess in communication with the rounds recess and positioned at the first main body end, the magazine recess being complementarily shaped to the magazine shape to retain the magazine in a fixed position within the magazine recess, said method comprising: 
 a. positioning the magazine within the magazine recess; 
 b. introducing the rounds into the rounds recess; and 
 c. with a structure, pushing the rounds, via a last round, towards and into the magazine, such that as the plurality of rounds are moved towards the magazine, the pivot point of each round successively contacts the second downwardly angled portion to pivot the second rounds end of each successive round towards the magazine, the second rounds end of each successive round passes over the first downwardly angled portion, and when an exiting round exits the rounds recess, the exiting round abuts and forces at least one of the follower and a pre-loaded round in the magazine downwardly into the magazine against the spring force as the exiting round enters the magazine. 
 
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first downwardly angled portion is provided with a convex shape. 
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 2 , wherein the first downwardly angled portion includes an about 0.43 inch radius. 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the second downwardly angled portion is provided with a concave shape. 
     
     
       5. The method of  claim 4 , wherein the second downwardly angled portion includes an about 0.71 inch radius. 
     
     
       6. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the second rounds recess side includes a third downwardly angled portion positioned between the first downwardly angled portion and the second main body end. 
     
     
       7. The method of  claim 6 , wherein the third downwardly angled portion is provided with a convex shape. 
     
     
       8. The method of  claim 7 , wherein the third downwardly angled portion includes an about 0.80 inch radius. 
     
     
       9. The method of  claim 6 , wherein the third downwardly angled portion is provided with a concave shape. 
     
     
       10. The method of  claim 9 , wherein the third downwardly angled portion includes an about 1.22 inch radius. 
     
     
       11. The method of  claim 6 , wherein the second rounds recess side includes a fourth downwardly angled portion positioned between the first downwardly angled portion and the third downwardly angled portion. 
     
     
       12. The method of  claim 11 , wherein the third downwardly angled portion is provided with a convex shape and the fourth downwardly angled portion is provided with a concave shape. 
     
     
       13. The method of  claim 12 , wherein the third downwardly angled portion includes an about 0.80 inch radius and the fourth downwardly angled portion includes an about 1.22 inch radius. 
     
     
       14. The method of  claim 11 , wherein the first rounds recess side includes a fifth downwardly angled portion positioned between said magazine recess and the second downwardly angled portion. 
     
     
       15. The method of  claim 14 , wherein the third downwardly angled portion is provided with a convex shape, the fourth downwardly angled portion is provided with a concave shape, and the fifth downwardly angled portion is provided with a concave profile. 
     
     
       16. The method of  claim 15 , wherein the third downwardly angled portion includes an about 0.80 inch radius, the fourth downwardly angled portion includes an about 1.22 inch radius, and the fifth downwardly angled portion includes an about 0.38 inch radius. 
     
     
       17. The method of  claim 6 , wherein the first rounds recess side includes a fourth downwardly angled portion positioned between said magazine recess and the second downwardly angled portion. 
     
     
       18. The method of  claim 17 , wherein the third downwardly angled portion is provided with a convex shape, and the fourth downwardly angled portion is provided with a concave shape.
