Abstract: The present invention relates to a tool for the installation and removal of the magazine catch of automatic and/or semi-automatic firearms. In particular, a magazine catch which is transversely operable within the firearm like that of the M16A2 and M4 Carbine where the magazine catch button must be depressed sufficiently to allow for the rotation of the magazine catch for installation or removal. The tool enables the user to orient, insert, depress and hold the magazine catch button and to steady the firearm simultaneously with one hand. The tool is designed to limit the insertion of the magazine catch button so as to eliminate the damage caused to the magazine catch spring by over-insertion of the magazine catch button. The preferred embodiment is constructed of polymer to eliminate damage to the firearm and its parts. The design of the invention also serves to reduce discomfort and injury to the hand of the user caused by conventional tools or field expedients used to perform this task.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved retaining and release mechanism for the magazines of automatic and/or semi-automatic firearms, in particular to a type of magazine which is provided with a lateral securing slot. A tooth (52) of lever (54) is designed to engage lateral securing slot (34) of magazine (30). Said lever (54) is provided with a deflecting surface (55) which abuts to a pair of deflecting edges (57a,57b) of protective ears (56a,56b). Said lever (54) is pivotally connected to said protective ears (56a,56b) of a base (38) by means of a pin (58). A slide (62) is connected to a "T" shaped guide (60), of said lever (54), by means of a "T" shaped channel (64). Said lever (54) is urged towards a body (16) of the firearm by energy exerted through a plunger (82) from a plunger spring (80) contained within said shaft (36).

Abstract: A digital computer system has a lock hold-down assembly for security. The assembly is secured at a standard expansion card slot in the computer unit, and includes a bracket mounted inside the unit, accessible through the slot. In the preferred embodiment, the bracket has an integral flange with an aperture therethrough and a plurality of tabs. A cover member has a plurality of hooks for engaging the plurality of tabs through the slot. The cover member also has a cable enclosure through which the power cable and peripheral cables may be run. The cover member further has an integral flange with an aperture therethrough. A lock is placed through both apertures, thereby securing the unit and cables to the lock. The lock is anchored as desired.

Abstract: To reduce the electro-magnetic interference (EMI) of a digital computer, the EMI contact of this invention is snapped into place in the chassis of the computer and the cover for the computer is then placed over the chassis with the contact surfaces of the EMI contact firmly engaging the cover to provide grounding between the cover and the chassis, thereby reducing EMI.
