Abstract: A firearm magazine loader. The magazine loader includes an ammunition holder adapted for receiving and holding ammunition from a tray in the same arrayed configuration in which the ammunition was held in the tray. The magazine loader includes a holder adapted for holding ammunition in an array including multiple columns and rows. The magazine loader includes a carrier and a biasing member biasing the carrier for movement. The magazine loader includes a movable carrier and a stop. The stop engages ammunition held in the carrier for indexing movement of the carrier. The magazine loader includes a plunger oriented for plunging ammunition from the carrier in a direction transverse to a direction of travel of the carrier. The magazine loader includes a slot sized and shaped for receiving a round of ammunition and configured for permitting the round of ammunition to slide along a length of the slot.

Abstract: Gun support apparatus for supporting a gun or components of a gun for assembly, servicing, cleaning, or other gunsmithing operations. A vise may include one or more gun supports for supporting a gun. A gun support may include a magazine well insert receivable in a magazine well of a gun. The support may be pivotable and may include a hammer stop. A gun support may include a channel of tapering width which is pivotable for positioning a desired width of the channel for receiving a portion of a gun to be supported in the channel. A bolt support device may be used to mount a bolt for cleaning or servicing.

Abstract: A control device for the parking brake of a motor vehicle has a hydraulic cylinder with a piston chamber that can be pressurized by means of a valve arrangement, and has a hydraulic piston connected mechanically to engagement elements of the parking brake. The parking brake is forced into an engaged or disengaged position depending on the hydraulic pressure in the piston chamber. The piston chamber connects to a pressure sensor providing pressure signals that represent the state of the parking brake and that are evaluated by an electrical control unit. The control unit defines a first predetermined pressure threshold corresponding to the engaged state of the parking brake, and a second predetermined pressure threshold corresponding to the disengaged state of the parking brake.
