Abstract: A tire puncture detecting device having a pressure chamber defined by a flexible diaphragm and held in communication with the interior of the tire, an atmospheric chamber communicating with the atmosphere, and a spring plate member disposed in the pressure chamber and supporting on the front face thereof a magnet and on the rear face thereof a central portion of the flexible diaphragm. The spring plate member is normally maintained in a retracted position under the air pressure in the pressure chamber against the bias of a resilient member disposed rearwardly of the spring plate member. When a reduction in the air pressure in the pressure chamber exceeds a predetermined degree, the spring plate member buckles so as to quickly project forwardly under the force of the resilient member. In this manner, the magnet supported on the spring plate member is moved closer to an alarm circuit switch located in front of the device and energizable by magnetic force, thereby actuating the switch.

Abstract: A cartridge/carrier locking device for an automatic gun including a latch plate pivotally mounted on an inner wall of a receiver to pivot in a seesaw like manner to have two ends thereof alternately protrude inside of the receiver. The front end protrudes to restrain a cartridge and the rear end to restrain a carrier. A spring pushes the rear end toward the inside of the receiver. Against this spring, a breechblock and a cartridge brought out of a magazine respectively restrict the protruding motion of the rear end until the breechblock moves backward approximately to a maximum extent. The position at which the breechblock comes to restrict the protruding motion of the rear end of the latch plate is arranged to differ from the position at which the cartridge comes to restrict in such a way as to allow the rear end to lock the carrier.
