A bulk loader for supplying paintballs to a paintball gun includes a load er housing for internally storing a quantity of paintballs, this housing having a bottom outlet through which paintballs can sequentially drop. A feed tube is connected to this housing at the outlet and extends downwardly therefrom. A paintball moving device which can take the form of a vibrator housing, is mounted in t he loader housing and is capable of vibrating in order to move paintballs locat ed near the bottom outlet. A vibrator, which can include a small electrical motor, causes the moving device to vibrate when a paintball jam must be freed up. Preferably the vibrator is mounted in the housing forming the moving device. A control mechanism controls the operation of the vibrator and includes a swit ch mounted in or adjacent to the feed tube for sensing the absence of a paintba ll within the feed tube. The vibrator can include a vibration causing weight th at is mounted on the output shaft of the motor. The preferred switch comprises a magnetic switch. |
