Abstract
A loader mountable below the barrel of a semi-automatic paintball gun for feeding a supply of paintballs into the firing chamber of the paintball gun against the force of gravity. The loader includes a mechanically driven rotating paddle wheel that moves the individual paintballs upward and out of the loader housing and into a feed tube. The feed tube connects the outlet of the housing to the firing chamber of the paintball gun such that the combination of the feed tube and paddle wheel continuously supply paintballs to the firing chamber of the paintball gun. The loader includes a motor and a drive spring for rotating the paddle wheel within the housing. The motor winds the drive spring, such that upon a demand for paintballs, the drive spring provides the driving force to the paddle wheel to rotate the paddle wheel within the housing. A motor control circuit monitors the motor such that the motor maintains adequate tension on the spring such that the spring can provide the driving force to rotate the paddle wheel.
