A magazine loader (10) facilitates loading loose rounds into a firearm magazine. The loader comprises a body (12) with finger rests (14), a plunger tooth (18), a pusher element (20), and a spring (22). The body includes an opening (16) to accept the magazine. The tooth pushes down the topmost round (50). The pusher element and the spring push the loader up after each round is partially loaded. To load a round, the loader is fitted on the magazine and forced down so its tooth pushes the topmost round down sufficient to insert a new round, rim first, until it engages the plunger. Then, the user reduces force on the loader to allow the pusher to lift the loader up so that the plunger is cleared from the magazine, whereupon the partially inserted round can be forced rearwardly to its final position in the magazine. |

1. A magazine loader for facilitating the loading of rounds into a predetermined firearm magazine having an open upper end and which holds one or more columns of rounds therein and urges said rounds to, and feeds said rounds from, said open end of said magazine, said loader comprising:
a. a substantially hollow body comprising a housing having a substantially rectangular bottom opening that is sized and shaped to fit onto said open end of said magazine, b. a tooth or plunger in said body, c. said tooth or plunger being sized and positioned, so that when said loader is fitted onto said magazine, said tooth or plunger does not engage any round or follower in said magazine, and when said loader is forced down onto said magazine, said tooth or plunger pushes down a topmost round or follower in said magazine a sufficient distance to insert a new round, rim first, until it engages said tooth or plunger, and d. a spring in said body, e. said spring having first and second ends, f. said first end of said spring joined to said body, g. said spring being positioned, shaped, and sized so that when said body is fitted onto said magazine, said second end of said spring engages said magazine and when said loader is forced down onto said magazine, said magazine pushes said second end of said spring up to compress said spring and thereby urge said loader away from said magazine, h. said second end of said spring being free of rigid or fixed joinder to any component, i. whereby said loader can be fitted onto said magazine and when forced down said plunger pushes a topmost round or follower down into said magazine so that a user may insert a round partially into said magazine, whereafter said user may reduce force on said body to allow said spring to lift said loader up so that said plunger is cleared from said magazine, whereupon said round can be forced rearwardly to a final position in said magazine, so that new rounds can be loaded into said magazine without exerting finger force to push existing rounds or a follower in said magazine down. |
