Abstract: A firearm bolt spring clip assembly is provided. The assembly includes a bolt member, an extractor and an ejector. The extractor is removably coupled to the bolt member, positioned in an extractor cavity located in the bolt member. The extractor may comprise a dove tail end, a groove, a leaf spring section and an extractor claw. The ejector is removably and slidably coupled to the bolt member, positioned in an ejector cavity located in the bolt member. One or both of the extractor and ejector are secured to the bolt member by at least one spring clip.

Abstract: A method of assembling a firearm is provided. The method includes providing a bolt assembly that includes a bolt carrier that includes a cammed slot and a first passage, a bolt member slidably coupled to the bolt carrier and positioned within the first passage, the bolt member includes at least one aperture and a second passage, a piston member slidably coupled to the bolt member and positioned within the second passage, the piston member includes an elongated slot and a third passage, wherein the elongated slot includes a first length, and a cam pin slidably coupled to at least one of the bolt carrier, the bolt member and the piston member, the cam pin includes a fourth passage; and coupling the bolt assembly within a cavity of the firearm such that the bolt assembly is slidably coupled to an upper receiver of the firearm.

Abstract: A trigger lock is shown which rotates from a fire position in which the trigger can operate and to a no-fire position in which the trigger cannot operate. The lock is located primarily within the frame. A thumb lever or a key can be used to engage the trigger lock to rotate the trigger lock from the fire to the no-fire position and vice versa.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for identifying a firearm by markings on the inside of the firearm. The markings leave an impression on the bullet casing, allowing the firearm to be identified from the markings left in the bullet casing. The markings could be symbols, characters, or a combination thereof. Tools for marking the firearm are also disclosed.

Abstract: A utility lighter (10), which utilizes the fuel, the actuation mechanism (22, 24, 26, 28, 30) and/or the child-resistant mechanism of a pocket lighter (16), is disclosed. The utility lighter is sized and dimensioned to receive the pocket lighter. The utility lighter also defines a cut-out portion (44, 46) on its housing to expose the actuation mechanism and/or the child-resistant mechanism therethrough for user manipulation.

Abstract: A locking mechanism is shown for locking weapons. The mechanism works with a lever that turns and locks and unlocks the weapon by interfacing with elements on the interior of the weapon. A key can be used to position a lock plunger such that the lever cannot be turned to the firing position, hence locking the weapon against unauthorized use.

Abstract: The lighter of the present invention provides a resiliently deformable guard that covers a portion of the striking wheel assembly. To operate the lighter, a user exerts sufficient pressure to displace the guard before rotating the striking wheel assembly. The configuration of the guard with respect to other elements of the lighter and/or one or more retention means of the guard increases the retention of the guard. Further, the lighter of the present invention may provide a brake member to prevent the rotation of the striking wheel assembly when the user attempts to release fuel or rotate the striking wheel assembly before or without displacement of the guard.

Abstract: The lighter of the present invention provides a resiliently deformable guard that covers a portion of the striking wheel assembly. To operate the lighter, a user exerts sufficient pressure to depress the guard before rotating the striking wheel assembly. The present invention provides retention mechanisms to make removal of the guard more difficult. Further, the lighter of the present invention provides brake members to prevent the rotation of the striking wheel assembly when the user attempts to release fuel prior to rotating the striking wheel assembly.

Abstract: A disposable roll and press operated lighter including a shield shaped to the wheel and adapted to partly cover the wheel deterring a child from turning the wheel to an extent that ignites vapor from the lighter.

Abstract: A fishing reel with an anti-reverse to free spool adjustment including a cylindrical series of spaced peripheral grooves on the spool spindle and a hand manipulated rotary member setting variable pressures on a ball in a ratchet member surrounding the series of grooves, thereby locking the spindle or releasing the spindle to a variable degree.

Abstract: A gravity actuated lock for the e.g. dropside of a crib to hold the dropside elevated. A rotary lock enters a notch on the dropside rod under the influence of a relatively heavy manually manipulated member that is fixed to the rotary lock and actuates it to locking condition, with no spring present or needed. The lock is released by the operator by pulling or pushing upwardly on the member, which is available at the front of the crib.

Abstract: A safety chain for a chain saw comprising drivers connected by side link units each having a pivot fulcrum on its lower edge running in contact with the saw blade kerf bottom, the side links including a cutter tooth, a depth gauge, and a safety device for the particular cutter.

Abstract: A cutting chain for a chain saw including a safety element normally preventing the cutter tooth from cutting wherein the safety element is mounted on the driver link and by inward pressure; i.e., toward the cutter bar, is rotated to a position under the cutter tooth so that the latter may cut.

Abstract: A cutting chain for a chain saw including a safety element in front of a cutter tooth, the safety element normally extending past the cutter tooth to inhibit cutting, but depressible by a solid object such as wood to allow cutting.

Abstract: A cutting chain for a chain saw including a clearer immediately in front of the cutter tooth, the clearer normally extending past the cutter tooth and preventing cutting but depressible by a solid object such as wood to allow cutting.

Abstract: A fly tying device including relatively heavy resilient steel bars which are provided with a supportive means and also concave edges which face each other to space the bars for a major portion of the length thereof together with a cam to temporarily spread the free ends of the bars apart to accept the hook.

Abstract: A fly tyer's vise comprising a pair of hardened spring members rigidly adjacent one end of the pair and having a cam operated device for spreading the opposite ends to accept hook, the members including a relatively small transverse slotted member for receiving and holding the hook at the point in front of the barb, the members also holding the hook in the area of the bend thereof, the vise being able to firmly clamp hooks from size 28 to size 1.
