Publication number: 20240102319Abstract: A bolt restraint mechanism for restraining a bolt of a bolting mechanism. The bolt restraint mechanism includes a bolt moveable between thrown and retracted positions and a catch plate having an aperture through which the bolt extends. The catch plate is biased to pivot such that a restraint surface of the aperture pushes against the bolt to restrain movement of the bolt. A release trigger is arranged such that when depressed the release trigger pushes against the catch plate to pivot thereby releasing the restraint surface from pushing against the bolt to release the bolt. The catch plate may be biased such that when the restraint surface pushes against the bolt to restrain movement of the bolt, the catch plate is non-orthogonal to the bolt.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Stuart Parker, Glen Davies

Publication number: 20180043561Abstract: A razor blade having a substrate with a cutting edge being defined by a sharpened tip. The substrate has a thickness of greater than about 2.30 micrometers measured at a distance of four micrometers from the blade tip, a thickness of greater than about 4.26 micrometers measured at a distance of eight micrometers from the blade tip, and greater than about 7.93 micrometers measured at a distance of sixteen micrometers from the blade tip. A hard coating joined to the substrate has a thickness of 700 Angstroms to about 3500 Angstroms. An outer layer joined to a coated substrate is discontinuous. The outer layer may be produced from a dispersion comprising about 0.03 g/L or less of telomer or from about 0.5 % solids or less of telomer by weight of composition. The novel razor blade cuts at less than 100 % cutting efficiency using a single fiber cutting efficiency measure.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2017Publication date: February 15, 2018Inventors: John Joseph Nisby, Matthew Robert Stone, Yongqing Ju, Ronald Richard Duff, JR., Jeffrey Stuart Parker

Patent number: 9752273Abstract: A densified fluid barrier cleaning system is disclosed in which a pressure vessel encases a movable basket positioned so as to cross a barrier such that one opening of the pressure vessel resides in a first environment and a second opening of the pressure vessel resides in a second environment. A tubular basket within the pressure vessel is positioned such that its central longitudinal axis is aligned with both the first and second opening of the pressure vessel. Responsive to the successful completion of a cleaning cycle, soiled articles that are introduced to the basket via the first opening from the first environment can be removed through the second opening and into the second environment thus bridging the barrier without fear of introducing contaminants from the first environment to second environment.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2015Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: CO2Nexus, Inc.Inventors: Guy Robert Babbitt, Andrew Timothy Maxey, Ernst Jan Siewers, Stuart Parker, Nicholas Paul Echter

Patent number: 6769650Abstract: A parachute has a canopy and rigging lines with skirt assist lines connected between a point on each rigging line adjacent a lower edge of the canopy and a point on the interior of the canopy spaced from the lower edge. The arrangement is such that a portion of the canopy between the point and the lower edge is relieved of tension as the canopy is deployed to assist the opening of the canopy. The skirt assist lines are frangible. This prevents rapid deployment of the canopy to lower g-forces on the load in high speed opening.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2003Date of Patent: August 3, 2004Assignee: Wardle Storeys (Safety & Survival Equipment) LimitedInventors: Nigel Stuart Parker, David Richard Jordan Hirst
