  • Publication number: 20240310139
    Abstract: An elevation adjuster for a gun support includes a support mount for detachably mounting the elevation adjuster to a gun support, a base portion connected to the support mount, and a pinion rotatably connected to the base portion. The elevation adjuster further includes an extendible member slidably engaged with the base portion. The extendible member comprises a rack portion which is engaged with the pinion, such that rotation of the pinion causes the extendible member to move relative to the base portion. The pinion is connected to a handle for manipulation by a user of a gun which is connected, in use, to the elevation adjuster. The extendible member comprises a gun mount for detachably connecting the elevation adjuster to a gun.

  • Patent number: 11976909
    Abstract: A case press is disclosed. The case press has a ram moveable relative to a base by an electric actuator. The case press also has a sensor for determining relative movement between the ram and the base. Further, the case press has a load cell for measuring a load exerted by the ram on a die positioned, in use, between the ram and the base.

  • Patent number: 11209375
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to determining a material transition point such as a melt-point, and to determining an annealing parameter based on the determined material transition point. Changes in a parameter associated with an electromagnetic circuit coupled to an object subject to heating are monitored. A material transition point is determined upon detecting a predetermined change in the parameter. The annealing parameter is derived from the determined material transition point.

  • Patent number: 10876191
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an induction annealing apparatus adapted to anneal cartridge cases to improve their reusability. In one implementation, the apparatus includes a power supply unit and a plurality of annealing units, each including a magnetic core having ends separated by an air gap. An induction coil is wound around the magnetic core to generate a magnetic field in the air gap. A cartridge case holder holds the cartridge case such that the neck of the cartridge case is positioned in one of the air gaps. The power supply unit selectively connects to the annealing units to supply power for a predetermined length of time, and the size of the air gap of the magnetic cores of each of the annealing units may differ. In other implementations, the size of the air gap may be adjustable, and a temperature sensor or a ferrite stake may be included.
