Patent number: 11958244Abstract: A manufacturing system includes a plurality of rails, a plurality of head manipulating mechanisms respectively coupled to the rails, and a plurality of automated fiber placement (AFP) heads respectively coupled to the head manipulating mechanisms. The rails are arranged around a barrel-shaped layup tool, and each rail is parallel to a tool axis. Each head manipulating mechanism moves along a rail. The head manipulating mechanisms position the AFP heads in circumferential relation to each other about a tool surface of the layup tool. A total quantity of AFP heads comprises the maximum number of AFP heads that can be circumferentially arranged in longitudinal alignment with each other on the layup tool without interfering with each other while applying layup material over the tool when the layup tool is stationary and during rotation about the tool axis, to thereby fabricate a green state layup having a barrel shape.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Inventors: Brice A. Johnson, Brandon Gorang

Publication number: 20230419852Abstract: A portable tactical shooting barricade consisting of cut-out caps over existing cut-outs of the detachable barricade portion of the PTSB (U.S. Pat. No. 10,825,349 b2) to facilitate ballistic breach shooting exercises. A portable tactical shooting barricade with cut-out ports that can be optionally covered by cut-out caps. A portable tactical shooting barricade consisting of shape-matching cut-out caps anchored in place by magnets willfully milled at matching points both in the detachable barricade and the cut-out caps. A portable shooting barricade in which said cut-out caps simulate doors, windows or similar structures so that disengaging these cut-out caps enable the shooter to intentionally engage a target downrange through the existing cut-out previously covered by said cap.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Franz Alberto Johnson, Charles Brandon Johnson, Alberth Alanzo Johnson, Fareda Johnson

Publication number: 20230255276Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of hydration and cooling devices. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cooling garment device, further comprised of a water reservoir and at least one drinking straw. The garment is preferably manufactured from a breathable, moisture wicking, fabric base layer that cools a wearer. The straw can further be easily accessed while wearing the garment to allow a wearer to drink water or other liquid that is stored within the water reservoir. In addition, a wearer can also release water from the straw and/or reservoir into the base layer of the garment to further cool oneself. Furthermore, the garment may have a thermometer that reads the internal body temperature of the wearer.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2023Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventor: Brandon Johnson
