Patent attributes
The device (8) allows the release of a detachable magazine from the left and right side of the trigger housing of a firearm, and includes a left lever arm (6) pivotable about a left pivot pin (15) and a right lever arm (7) pivotable about a right pivot pin (14). The right lever arm includes a catch (9) to retain a magazine. The left lever arm (6) includes a left lever extension (12), and the right lever arm (7) includes a right lever extension (13), and these lever extensions are coupled together. When the right lever arm (7), together with its push-button (11), is pivoted to the right, the catch disengages and releases the magazine whilst the left lever arm (6) remains immobile. When the push-button (13) of the left lever arm (6) is pressed to the left, the left lever arm (6) and its left lever extension (12) pivot to the left causing said left lever extension (12) to push the right lever extension (13), and thus the right lever arm (7), to the right, which in turn causes the catch (9) to disengage and release the magazine.
