  • Publication number: 20050262753
    Abstract: A telescoping rifle support for providing stable triangular support for aiming a rifle. The telescoping rifle support includes a plurality of telescoping tubular segments and an arm support. A bottom tubular segment has a flange extending from a first end of the bottom segment to a second end of the segment. The flange creates a loop for receiving a belt which attaches the rifle support to the shooter. The bottom segment further includes a means for cooperating with an upper tubular segment for locking the rifle support into either a contracted or extended position. When the rifle support is locked in an extended position, the shooter grasps the arm support in one hand to form a triangular support configuration. The triangular support configuration consists of the shooter's extended arm, the shooter's torso, and the telescoping rifle support.

  • Patent number: 4723614
    Abstract: A modular apparatus for dispensing weight-controlled foodstuff portions includes a housing which supports a removable silo, feeder screw, and blocking plate components which discharge the foodstuff to a dosage cup. A capacitor transducer is employed to support the dosage cup and perform a weighing function. The housing has an opening for receiving foodstuff from the silo which leads to a feeder pathway. The removable feeder screw advances the food to the blocking plate which through a vibratory motion effects discharge to the dosage cup. An electronic control card inputs a weighing signal from the transducer for controlled operation of the apparatus.
