  • Patent number: 10663255
    Abstract: A sight adapter for a handheld mortar that is secured directly to the mortar tube and provides a standardized mounting system for a weapon sight. The sight adaptor is for battlefield mortars not having a bipod. The sight adaptor of the current invention can be easily retrofit onto any handheld field mortar and includes a capability for determining projectile firing range and for correcting changes in the inclination of the mortar tube caused by rotation of the mortar tube on the ball joint of the base plate. The sight adapter a tilt sensor and provides for quick, easy and accurate targeting of a handheld mortar by comparing the target range determined from the sighting device with target range determined using projectile ballistic data and providing simple aim correction indicators to the mortarman.

  • Patent number: 9425553
    Abstract: A cord connection securement device prevents electrical cords from being unintentionally uncoupled. The device includes a planar, flexible, L-shaped cable tie. Apertures extend through a first arm and openings extend through a second arm of the cable tie. A first hook extends from the second arm for being engaged to a selectable one of the apertures of an adjacently positioned second cable tie. A second hook extends from the second arm proximate a junction between the first arm and the second arm such that the second hook is engageable to one of the openings to form a loop configured for extending around an electrical cord adjacent to a plug of the electrical cord such that the plug is prevented from passing through the loop.

  • Patent number: 9276359
    Abstract: A cord coupling securement device secures a male plug to a female plug to prevent unintended disconnection of coupled extension cords. The device includes a first cable tie configured for coupling to a first cord adjacent to a first cord plug and a second cable tie configured for coupling to a second cord adjacent to a second cord plug engageable to the first cord plug. A strap extends transversely from a loop formed by coupling the first cable tie to the first cord. The strap is insertable through a receiver such that the strap is coupled to the receiver and the first cable tie is secured to the second cable tie.
