  • Patent number: 5733113
    Abstract: A roller vane motor for downhole drilling comprises a housing and a rotor. The housing contains outlet ports and wing deflector cams that divide the space between housing and rotor into chambers. The rotor is provided with recesses in its periphery and there are cylindrical rollers in these recesses which rollers can move between an extended and a retracted position. A portion of the drilling mud that flows through a central conduit in the rotor passes through inlet ports and the recesses into the chamber portions and pushes rollers into their extended position and in a clockwise direction to thus make the rotor turn. Drilling mud of a lower pressure is pushed in from the corresponding chamber portion through the outlet ports into the annular space between the motor and the bore hole wall. When the rollers reach the wing deflector cams, they are forced into the retracted position and their subsequent tasks are then taken over by successive rollers.

  • Patent number: 5649383
    Abstract: A barrel retaining device for an automatic pistol has a locking element that locks the pistol barrel and breech both of which are guided on the stock of the weapon. In order to remove the breech with the barrel from the stock in order to disassemble the pistol, the locking element has an actuating element on both sides of the stock which, when depressed, unlocks a lock between the barrel and the stock. At the same time, depressing of the actuation element releases the trigger finger into a forward position to impart a forward movement to a spring loaded trigger arm which is also cammed downwardly to disengage the trigger arm and the driver on the firing pin in the breech. The connections between the breech and the stock are thus released by a single unlocking movement when disassembling a pistol.
