Patent number: 10982939Abstract: A dual-barrel powder dispenser is provided. The dual-barrel arrangement may offer a highly-accurate, and highly efficient system and method for dispensing a consistent amount of powder. A controller in communication with the interface may determine the speeds at which each barrel rotates in order to dispense a volume and weight of powder from a hopper to a receptacle. A scale may monitor and determine the total weight of powder dispensed into the receptacle resting on the scale. The entire assembly may be self-contained in a single integrated body.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2019Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: Bushnell Inc.Inventors: William Clark Hemeyer, Joe Dunning

Patent number: 10969198Abstract: A multi-function gunsight for aiming a firearm comprises a body and a sight arm pivotally coupled to the body for rotation between a stowed orientation and a deployed orientation. The body defining a laser cavity, a starboard cavity, and a port cavity. A laser housing is disposed inside the laser cavity defined by the body. The laser housing supports a semiconductor chip that emits laser light and a collimating lens that collimates the laser light emitted by the semiconductor chip. A forward end of the laser housing is coupled to a spherical bearing. The spherical bearing constrains movement of the laser housing in three translation degrees of freedom corresponding to translation along x, y, and z axes of an x-y-z coordinate system. The spherical bearing allows rotation of the laser housing about at least the x and y axes of the x-y-z coordinate system.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2020Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: BUSHNELL INC.Inventor: Alejandro Chavez

Patent number: 10605564Abstract: A gun cleaning apparatus includes a cleaning tool and a storage case. The cleaning tool has a cleaning section and a pull cord having a distal end for pulling the cleaning section through a gun barrel. The storage case is configured for enclosing the cleaning tool. The storage case includes a substantially hollow container having an open top and a removable lid. The removable lid is selectively positionable between a closed configuration wherein it closes the open top, and an open configuration wherein it is free from the hollow container and serves as a pull handle for the cleaning tool. The removable lid includes a connection section for connecting to the distal end of the pull cord after the pull cord has been inserted through the gun barrel, and a handle section for gripping by a user to assist with pulling the cleaning tool through the gun barrel.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2019Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Bushnell Inc.Inventors: Laurie A.
