  • Patent number: 4470604
    Abstract: A target practice system including reusable cartridges for firearms and a bullet trap for stopping the flight of projectiles from the cartridges. The case of the cartridge is adapted to receive the projectile, or alternative standard cases may be used. The projectile has a cylindrical core of a diameter less than the rifling of the firearm and axially spaced-apart, outwardly opening channels extend circumferentially about the core. Endless resilient rings are inserted into the channels. A powder-receiving hole is provided in the rearward end of the projectile. When fired, the projectile rides on the resilient rings as it travels down the barrel of the firearm. The core does not come in contact with the barrel, and the resilient rings center the core in the barrel during travel down it for improved accuracy. A rocket-like effect is realized from the rearward discharge of gases liberated by combustion. Also, methods of loading the reusable cartridges are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 4396021
    Abstract: An apparatus and method is disclosed for enabling the extraction of a biopsy sample from the prostate through the urinary tract and for performing medical treatment in the prostate area. The apparatus includes an outer sheath and removable obturator portion which is located within the sheath during insertion of the sheath into the urinary tract. Once the sheath has been inserted, a sampling portion is substituted for the obturator to enable the extraction of a biopsy sample. The configuration of the sampling portion which cooperates with the sheath during extraction of the biopsy sample includes adjacent tubes retained within the sheath and a harpoon-shaped needle movable through one of the tubes. The harpoon needle cooperates with the one tube to provide cutting and retention of the biopsy sample by movement of a shaft external to the sheath portion. The other tube enables the insertion of a light conducting pipe and lens structure to view the area from which the sample is taken.
