| 20090090343 | Spherical Projectile Reloading System - A reloading system for dispensing spherical projectiles is disclosed. The reloading system has a removable cartridge that removes from a base unit attached to a spherical projectile device. Upon insertion of the cartridge, a sliding gate on the removable cartridge permits direct feed of the projectiles to the projectile device. An ejection mechanism releases the cartridge for insertion of another cartridge. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20090283082 | FAST-LOAD LID ASSEMBLY FOR PAINTBALL - A lid assembly for a paintball hopper is disclosed, which reduces the paintball reload time. The lid assembly has an outer ring dimensioned to fit over a loading opening of the paintball hopper. A barrier member, such as an elastic membrane or plurality of flanges, is disposed across the inner perimeter of the outer ring such that the loading opening is substantially sealed. Also, a securing member is provided for securing the outer ring to the paintball hopper. A paintball hopper formed with the lid assembly described above is disclosed as well. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20110073092 | HOPPER STRUCTURE OF PAINTBALL MARKER - A hopper structure of a paintball marker includes a hopper body, a paintball holder, an upper cover, and first and second connecting elements. The hopper body has opposite first and second pivot portions. The first pivot portion has opposite and mutually communicating first pivot holes. The second pivot portion has opposite and mutually communicating second pivot holes. After a third pivot portion of the paintball holder is received in the first pivot portion, a fourth pivot portion of the upper cover is received in the second pivot portion. Thus, the paintball holder and the upper cover are stacked vertically on the hopper body. The upper cover, the paintball holder, and the hopper body are pivotally connected by the first and second connecting elements such that the assembled hopper structure is conveniently opened and closed and will not fall apart when accidentally dropped to the ground or hit during use. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110290226 | PAINTBALL LOADER - Some embodiments are directed to a paintball loader having a diverter member supported within a housing of the loader. The diverter member can limit the number of paintballs which enter an outlet passageway leading to a marker inlet. In some embodiments, diverter member can have projections and channels formed in a bottom surface thereof to control the number of paintballs that can simultaneously enter the entrance to the outlet passageway. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20150027426 | PAINTBALL MARKER LOADING & FEEDING SYSTEM - An assembly for rapid loading and feeding of paintballs in a paintball marker comprises a receiver mountable on the marker, having an opening to receive and secure a magazine carrying paintballs. An ejection mechanism to clear a magazine from the opening may also be provided. The magazine comprises an outer shell that interacts with the receiver to secure the magazine, and holds an arming mechanism that is manipulated by twisting or pulling to selectively cover apertures in the outer shell to secure the paintballs within the magazine, or uncover the apertures to release the paintballs. | 01-29-2015 |
| 20160161210 | PAINTBALL DRIVE SYSTEM OF A PAINTBALL LOADER - A loader and drive system are provided. The loader is preferably configured to house a quantity of projectiles (such as paintballs) in a chamber and supply the quantity of projectiles from the chamber to an attached pneumatic gun when in operation. The loader preferably includes an outlet configured to supply projectiles from the chamber to the pneumatic gun when the loader is operatively connected to the pneumatic gun. A drive system may be arranged in the loader and include a non-rotating cone arranged above the outlet and having an opening in a side thereof to provide an entrance. A way is arranged configured to direct projectiles into the outlet from the chamber through the entrance. A cover may be connected to the non-rotating cone and have an arm that directs projectiles into the entrance. A driving ring may surround the non-rotating cone and rotate around the non-rotating cone. The driving ring urges projectiles from the chamber into the way and toward the outlet during operation of the loader. | 06-09-2016 |

| 20140174421 | SLINGSHOT LOADER AND METHOD OF USE - A loader for a slingshot is disclosed, having a tubular magazine for holding pellets, the magazine having a reloading end and a dispensing end with an opening, an end cap for closing the magazine at the reloading end, a dispensing mechanism at the dispensing end for dispensing pellets into a pouch, the dispensing mechanism comprising two or more resilient fingers spaced around the opening for retaining and selectively releasing pellets, the fingers flexible from a closed to an open position by application of force, and apertures defined by the space between the fingers for accessing pellets wherein the pellets are gravity-fed within the magazine. A method of using the loader is also described. | 06-26-2014 |
| 20150354917 | PAINTBALL MARKER AND LOADER SYSTEM - Among other things, methods and apparatus regarding collection, dissemination and display of information concerning paintball loaders and markers are disclosed. A loader includes a heads-up display, electronic devices for gathering, storing and disseminating information, and an antenna for sending and receiving data. Wireless voice communications among paintball players is possible via associated headsets. There is also disclosed paintball equipment and methods for controlling both the firing and loading mechanism of paintball equipment. Current systems or mechanisms have individual and discrete electronic control systems for firing operations, e.g. located in the paintball gun itself, and loading operations, e.g. located inside the paintball loader. The present disclosure unifies the electronic control of said firing and loader operations into a single electronic circuit board located on either the paintball gun or paintball loader. | 12-10-2015 |
