Abstract: An anti-cant indicator assembly, components thereof, and associated methods. The anti-cant indicator assembly indicates the orientation of a weapon with respect to vertical. The anti-cant indicator assembly includes a mount configured to mount to the weapon, a level including a vial containing a bubble and a pivot connection connecting the level to the mount. The pivot connection is configured to permit movement of the level with respect to the mount about the pivot connection between an operational position in which the bubble can be referenced by the user for indicating orientation of the weapon with respect to vertical, and a stowed position different from the operational position. The pivot connection can include a retainer configured to releasably retain the level in at least one of the operational position or the stowed position. The level can be selectively movable with respect to the mount to calibrate the anti-cant indicator.

Abstract: A garment with selective compression may include multiple regions associated with different parts of a user's body, such as the arms, chest, midsection, buttocks, and legs. Each region of the garment may have a different level of compression. Higher levels of compression may provide support and alter the shape of the associated body part, while lower levels of compression may provide a smooth appearance without altering shape. By having selective compression levels for each region, the garment can smooth or shape different parts of the user's body in order to achieve a user's desired appearance, in addition to selectively providing different levels of support and increasing overall comfort and functionality.

Abstract: A cutting machine for cutting a foam product from a foam blank. The cutting machine has a blank holder adapted to receive the foam blank and a cutting blade. At least one of the blank holder and the cutting blade is mounted for movement relative to the other. The blank holder has a first component having a die projection formed on a front surface of the first component. A second component has a cutting surface and an aperture. A third component has a cutting surface and is locatable in the aperture. At least one of the first component and the second component is mounted for movement relative to the other between a first configuration, in which the first and second components are distal to one another, and a second configuration, in which the first and second components are proximal to one another.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a protrusion cutting apparatus (30) for cutting a closed-cell foam product (32) comprising a support surface (36) adapted to support the foam product (32); a template (34) having an opening, the template (34) being movable relative to the support surface (36) to compress the foam product (32) between the support surface (36) and the template (34) so that a portion of the foam product (32)protrudes through the opening; a cutting tool (40) adapted to cut the foam product (32) adjacent to the template (34) so that the portion of the foam product (32) protruding through the opening is cut from the foam product (32); and one or more air vents (42) formed in the support surface (36) to allow air trapped between the compressed foam product (32) and the support surface (36) to escape.

Abstract: A folding and sealing apparatus supporting a feed platform for feeding a supply of pre-glued forms to the folding and sealing apparatus. The housing accommodating a first roller, a second roller, a third roller and a fourth roller, and the first and second rollers forming a first nip, the second and third roller forming a second nip and the third and fourth roller forming a third nip. A motor drives at least one of the rollers via a drive mechanism. At least one of the rollers having a resilient portion to accommodate an object mounted on a form, passing through the nips while maintaining appropriate folding and sealing pressure on the supporting form to provide a sufficient sealing pressure to the folded form, as the folded form passes through the nips to facilitate both folding and sealing of the folded form.

The housing accommodating a first roller, a second roller, a third roller and a fourth roller, and the first and second rollers forming a first nip, the second and third roller forming a second nip and the third and fourth roller forming a third nip. A motor drives at least one of the rollers via a drive mechanism. The first roller is a spring biased roller to facilitate feeding of the pre-glued form while the second, third and the fourth rollers are all fixedly mounted to the housing so that the second nip and the third nip both provide a sufficient sealing pressure to the folded form, as the folded form passes through the second and the third nips, to facilitate both folding and sealing of the folded form. A collection bin is provided adjacent the third nip for collecting the folded and sealed forms upon exiting from the folding and sealing apparatus.

Abstract: A low speed, low cost mechanical device for sealing folded product treated with pressure sensitive adhesive into ready to mail documents. Designed as a stand-alone machine powered by a gear motor for small business applications or as a back-up machine for larger users of pressure seal products. The unit can also be used in conjunction with any form folder for a more “automated” system.
