The invention relates to a device for feeding ball-like ammunition, so-called paint balls, into the projectile chamber of a sporting arm (1). The magazine (3) is arranged separately from the arm and is connected to the same by means of a feeder tube (2). A motor-driven feeder (8) feeds the balls from the ball container (3) into the feeder tube (2). In so doing, a spring element (17) stores the traction from the motor, so that, even when the motor stops, balls can still be transported using the energy stored in the spring element (17). The traction from the motor is transmitted via a connection or clutch consisting of a spring element (17) and a transmission element (19). Protrusions (20, 21) are arranged on both the spring element (17) and the transmission element (19), which come to bear on each other for transmitting traction. The protrusions (20, 21) are at least partially flexible, so that the transmitted force is limited. This way, explosion of the balls (14) from excessive pressure is prevented. In addition, the feeder (8) is connected with the drive element (16) for the feeder (8) which is under pressure from the spring (17) by means of a bayonet-like connection. This way, the feeder (8) can be removed from the ball container (3) with one manipulation to facilitate the cleaning of the ball container (3) in the event a ball (14) explodes in spite of this. |
