Abstract: A vehicle accessory device in the form of a side slide stud bracket that can be used in conjunction with existing board holder pocket/stud cargo securing systems to afford the user greater flexibility in securing his or her cargo load by more closely matching the dimensions of the cargo securing system to the dimensions of the cargo being transported. The bracket of the present invention is repositionable, does not require the use of external tools to install, reposition or remove, and reduces the likelihood that the cargo will slide or tip over during transport.

Abstract: An improved mounting device for enabling a user to quickly and securely attach and detach an accessory (e.g., a scope, light, bayonet, etc.) to a Magpul MLOK rail of a firearm. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the device comprises an upper portion, a lower portion, and at least one locking mechanism to enable a user to quickly removably attach the improved mounting device to an MLOK rail on a firearm. In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the device also comprises a side wedge and side wedge spring.

Abstract: Weapon and rifle systems and methods with integral or non-removable ammunition well or reservoir are described. A lower receiver for an M16 type weapon or rifle system is described with an aperture for loading one or more cartridges into an ammunition well or reservoir formed as part of the lower receiver, a pull channel, a follower pull coupled to the pull channel, a follower adapted for retraction by the follower pull, a bottom cover to the ammunition well or reservoir, wherein the pull channel and follower pull are capable of retracting the follower past the aperture for loading one or more cartridges into the ammunition well or reservoir. Also described is a weapon or rifle system using the lower receiver described herein and a method for loading a weapon or rifle system using the lower receiver as described herein.

Abstract: A skateboard truck comprising a hanger pivotably mounted to a base, the hanger having a central aperture extending through opposite sides and a kingpin passing through the hanger central aperture. The truck includes a first and second bushing received on the kingpin, a first bushing seat receiving a portion of one of the first and second bushings and a second bushing seat receiving a portion of the other of the first and second bushings. The first and second bushing seats have different wall configurations. The hanger may be mounted to permit the first bushing to deform, rotating the hanger with respect to the base to a degree when subject to a force offset from the axis of the kingpin. The hanger may be reversibly mounted to permit the first bushing to deform, rotating the hanger with respect to the base to a different degree when subject to the same force.
