Abstract: An improved tooling, including: a base housing having an interior and tooling holes, the tooling holes being configured to receive alignment studs attached to a tooling fixture; a first clamping fixture and a second clamping fixture fit inside hollowed regions within the base housing; a shaft having a length and an axis along the length of the shaft, the shaft situated inside the base housing and the shaft having a first threaded region and a second threaded region to connect the first clamping fixture and the second clamping fixture, whereby rotation of the shaft causes the first clamping fixture and the second clamping fixture to move towards and away from each other along the axis of the shaft; each of the first clamping fixture and the second clamping fixture comprising one or more securing mechanisms configured to: engage and disengage the alignment studs based upon rotation of the shaft.

Abstract: An improved tooling base, including: a base housing having an interior and registration holes, the registration holes being configured to receive alignment studs attached to the tooling fixture; a clamping system fit into the interior of the base housing, wherein the clamping system comprises a first device configured to secure, when adjusted to a first position, the tooling fixture to the tooling base via interaction with an indentation on each of the alignment studs and configured to release, when adjusted to a second position, a hold on the indentation on the alignment studs, thereby enabling removal of the tooling fixture from the tooling base; and one or more ejector components positioned in the base, whereby movement of an actuator causes the one or more ejector components to move upwards such that a portion of the one or more ejector components extends out from a top surface of the base.

Abstract: A vehicle stem configured to secure a handle bar to a vehicle frame is disclosed. The vehicle stem includes: a body containing a first and second arm segment defining a vehicle frame hole; a handle bar clamp arm positioned adjacent to the first and second arm segment, wherein a curvature of the handle bar clamp arm defines a handle bar oriented perpendicular to the vehicle frame hole; wherein a first distal end of the first arm segment comprises a first set of vehicle frame clamp holes and wherein a second distal end of the second arm segment comprises a second set of vehicle frame clamp holes; wherein a first distal end of the handle bar clamp arm comprises a set of slotted fastener holes that are separated by a gap from a set of threaded fastener holes positioned on a second distal end of the handle bar clamp arm.

Abstract: An improved handguard for AR type rifles is shown. The handguard system uses an offset cam with a dual tapered side surface that engages a tapered circumferential groove on the barrel nut. Tightening the cam in place forces the receiver end of the handguard to clamp simultaneously against the barrel nut and against the front edge of the upper receiver of the rifle.
