Abstract: A device for driving mechanical safety systems. The device contains a housing in which at least one moving piston is arranged. The piston is connected to a first toothed rack and the first toothed rack is operatively connected to a pinion. A second toothed rack is arranged for movement in the housing. As a result, the second toothed rack is displaced in the opposite direction to the movement of the piston. The device has a locking lever and a shift claw. The shift claw is mounted on the second toothed rack and is arranged such that, on movement of the second toothed rack, the shift claw can actuate the locking lever. A locking bush secures the securing shaft to be driven. The locking bush is initially transferred to an unlocked position on movement of the toothed racks and is returned to a locked position on conclusion of the movement.

Abstract: A striker mechanism including: a housing having a first surface; a slider movable in the housing, the slider having a projection or concavity, the slider having a second surface, the first and second surfaces defining an opening for a lanyard; a striker mass movably disposed relative to the housing, the striker mass having another of the projection and the concavity, the striker mass having a striker tip for engaging a primer; and a spring for biasing the striker tip relative to the housing. When the lanyard moves the slider within a first range of motion, the projection engages with the concavity to bias the striker mass towards the primer. When the lanyard moves the slider within a second range of motion, greater than the first range of motion, the projection disengages from the concavity allowing the striker mass to move towards the primer by a biasing force of the spring.

Abstract: A pneumatic arrow gun has a gun body, an arrow, a positioning sleeve, and a connecting wire. The arrow is for inserting into an air tube of the gun body. The positioning sleeve is temporarily mounted around the air tube, and the arrow is disposed through the positioning sleeve. The connecting wire connects the gun body to the positioning sleeve. Because the positioning sleeve is temporarily mounted around the air tube, the arrow slides forward relative to the positioning sleeve after triggering. When triggering the arrow, the connecting wire naturally dangles. When the arrow detaches from the air tube, the positioning sleeve located at a nock of the arrow due to the sliding of the arrow. Therefore, a rebound of the arrowhead is prevented. The safety and the shooting stability are ensured. Further, the arrow is easily retrieved by the connecting wire.

Abstract: A firearm shell casing catching system for collecting casings ejected from a firearm includes a mounting assembly, casing deflector, and a hopper.

Abstract: A spade grip attachment assembly for securing a spade grip to a minigun clutch includes a first adapter member configured to be secured to the spade grip and a second adapter member configured to be secured to the clutch. The first and second adapter members are configured such that one is receivable in the other. Each adapter member defines a pair of coaxially aligned pin holes that align to form a passage in which a locking pin is receivable when one adapter member is received in the other. The locking pin is receivable in the passage to releasably secure the first adapter member to the second adapter member.

Abstract: A wireless detonator system wherein a blast control unit communicates bidirectionally with at least one tagger and with detonators, prior to deployment thereof, using a NFC technique, and a transmitter/receiver assembly communicates with each detonator atan ultralow frequency.

Abstract: A method of forming a chamber in a barrel blank has the steps of providing an elongated firearm barrel blank defining a bore and having a muzzle end and an opposed breech end, securing the blank in a fixture, determining a first reference location of the bore at a position proximate to the breech end, based on the first reference location, machining a first rough chamber bore at the breech end and along the bore to a selected depth, determining a second reference location of the bore at a position beyond the selected depth, and based on the second reference location, machining a second precision chamber bore. The fixture may be stationary during the steps of determining and machining. The step of determining a first reference location may include probing a surface of the bore and may include probing at least three different positions about the bore.

Abstract: A manually operated toy pneumatic launcher for launching a ball projectile. The pneumatic launcher has a housing with a first section and a second section that move relative to each other. At least one handle extends from the second section that rotates through a range of motion. A base tube is affixed to the second section. A launch tube is affixed to the first section. The launch tube extends into the base tube creating a telescoping tube assembly. A mechanism is provided that is powered by the handle moving through its range of motion. The mechanism includes a gear box, a lever arm, and a slide that act together to linearly move the first section of the housing relative to the second section. This selectively changes the length of the telescoping tube assembly, therein enabling the telescoping assembly to compress and release air in the launching of the projectile.

Abstract: A detonator installation (10) in which a detonator fire capacitor (36) which is connected in series with an inductor (18) is charged from a low voltage source (16) by repeatedly opening and closing a switch (20) thereby to cause a collapsing magnetic field in the inductor (18) which results in a charging current flow to the capacitor (36).
