Carl Francis Watts has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Abstract: A buffer comprising a first, elongate buffer element that is moveably received within the interior of a second, elongate, hollow buffer element such that the first and second buffer elements overlap over part of their length, such that the buffer elements define a hollow interior of the buffer and such that at an end of the buffer at least the second buffer element is exposed for engagement with a respective, further member, the first and second buffer elements being moveable between a first, extended or intermediate configuration of the buffer and a second, compressed configuration, compression of the buffer more energetically than a threshold energy level causing the first buffer element to energize a non-recoverable energy absorbing member, forming part of the buffer or capsule, to cause deformation of one or more plastically deformable parts of the buffer, characterized in that the non-recoverable energy absorbing member lies between the ends of the buffer at least in the region energized by the first buf
