Abstract: A polymer extrusion head for forming continuous shapes having one or more lumens therein. The head includes an extrusion mandrel and die. At least one lumen pipe is disposed radially through a port in the die to intersect the polymer flow in the annular region between the tip and the die. The lumen pipe is a welded assembly having a 90° turn formed as a mitered joint with zero bend radius. The lumen pipe is held in a pin vise engaged in the die such that position of the lumen pipe may be readily adjusted. Axial and radial positions are established during assembly by means of a gauge block. A plurality of lumen pipes may be accommodated for a plurality of lumens by a manifold distribution system including individual lumen pipe assemblies.

Abstract: Disclosed is an air rifle having a frame carrying a barrel, a magazine, a mechanism for transferring BB shot from the magazine to a firing position relative to the barrel, a valve, a gas cartridge loading assembly, and a trigger for momentarily opening the valve enabling gas under pressure from the cartridge to fire the BB shot from the rifle. The magazine includes a tube carried along the underside of the barrel. A spring-biased rod is carried within the tube and urges BB shot along the tube toward the transfer mechanism. An aperture in the tube opens into a passage in the frame and which passage terminates along the underface of the forearm stock in a recess having tapered wall portions whereby, upon inversion of the rifle, BB shot supplied to the recess is directed through the passage into the tube. The forearm stock also has a recess along its underside for receiving the gas cartridge.
