Shell, Projectile, Or Wad Extractors Patents (Class 81/3.05)
  • Patent number: 11536529
    Abstract: A device, and method for using the device, for extracting a large-caliber projectile jammed in a barrel of a weapon including a solid body having a diameter smaller than the caliber of the barrel and intended to be introduced into the barrel at the muzzle of the latter and then released in the barrel in order to impact, by inertia, the jammed projectile. The device is at least two radially expandable locking mechanisms, each able to move between a locked position in which it is applied radially against the inner wall of the barrel and a released position in which it is not applied against the barrel, the passage of the locking mechanisms from one position to the other by an expansion apparatus, the device includes a translation device enabling a first locking mechanism to be translated axially to a second locking mechanism.

  • Patent number: 11112198
    Abstract: Disclosed is an extraction press assembly for facilitating removal of an object from a bore of a structure. The extraction press assembly comprises a coupling mount, a base plate, a support structure, and a press. The coupling mount can be configured to couple to the structure, thus securing the extraction press assembly to the structure. The base plate can be axially spaced from the coupling mount, and can support the press. The support structure can comprise axial extensions coupling the coupling mount to the base plate, and facilitating adjustment of the base plate (and thus the press) relative to the coupling mount. The press can be located between the coupling mount and the base plate and can be configured to expand and contract axially, and to exert a pressing force upon an extraction pole of an extraction pole assembly within the bore, which force is transferred to the object lodged within the bore.

  • Patent number: 9114523
    Abstract: Tools for inserting containers into ice are disclosed herein. An embodiment of a tool includes a first end and a second end. A ring is located proximate the first end. The ring has a hole, wherein a container is receivable in the hole. The tool has a first state when no container is received in the hole and a second state when a container is received in the hole. At least one sheet extends between the ring and the second end, the sheet forms a substantially conical shape when the tool is in the first state and a less conical shape when the tool is in the second state. An opening is located proximate the second end, wherein the container exits the tool via the opening.
