Abstract: A firing pin lock for firearms is provided. The firing pin lock is a single piece of resilient metal that includes a pocket for receiving the head of the firing pin to prevent inadvertent discharge of the firearm. The firing pin lock can be mounted laterally in the bolt carrier group and is deflected outwardly by the action of the hammer.

Abstract: Disclosed is an extractor for an autoloading firearm, the extractor having an extractor body extending a proximal end portion to a distal end portion. A knuckle is between the proximal end portion and the distal end portion and defines a pin opening extending crosswise through the extractor, where the pin opening has an elongated shape. During rearward movement of the bolt after firing, the elongated opening enables the extractor to shift downward and/or forward so that part of the extractor contacts the bolt, thereby preventing the extractor from pivoting about the extractor pin.

Abstract: An unwinding apparatus supports a reel (60) of web material (22) which is to be unwound and directed into a printing unit (14) having a front/operator side and a rear/gear side. The unwinding apparatus comprises a frame (16) including a rear side part (28) located at the rear side of the printing press (14), and front side parts (24, 26) located at the front side of the printing press (14). The front side parts (24, 26) define an opening in the frame (16). Guide and locating bars (38) on the frame (16) extend from the rear side part (28) to the front side parts (24, 16) of the frame (16). The apparatus further comprises a movable reel cartridge (18) having front and rear cartridge frame parts (64, 66) for supporting the reel (60) of web material (22). The reel cartridge (18) is movable through the opening in the frame (16) and onto the guide and locating bars (38) to locate the reel (60) in its operating position.
