Abstract: A golf bag stand including legs swingably outward from a bag mounted bracket. An actuator for the legs is of U-shape having arm upper ends adjustably attached to leg carried plates. The plates define upper and lower sockets enabling positioning of the actuator to an inactive, raised position where the lower end of the actuator is above the leg lower end and out of ground contact. Positioning of the actuator arm ends downwardly in the leg mounted plates positions the actuator lower end for contact with the ground for automatic leg deployment. upon lifting of the bag out of ground contact, the spring arms of the actuator close the legs toward one another to cause the stand legs to converge to a retracted position.

Abstract: A telescopic sight mount having a base portion, cap means flexibly connected together at a joint above the center line of the sight mount and connectable to the base portion and tightening means for connecting the cap means to the base portion at a point below the center line of the sight mount is provided.

Abstract: This mounting assembly is particularly adapted for mounting telescopic sights on pistols. The mount base is secured to the pistol at its breechward end by a screw which is threaded into a tapped hole in the pistol, which tapped hole is conventionally formed at the factory and is standard on pistols. The muzzleward end of the mount base is secured to the pistol barrel or pistol frame by means of a clamp. A screw is threaded into the clamp and tightens the clamp against the mount base. The mount base is provided with opposed surfaces which are forced against complementary surfaces on the clamp to tighten the clamp about the barrel or frame of the pistol when the clamp is tightened against the base.

Abstract: A line of sight adjustment mechanism for an optical gun sight which includes windage and elevation screws which bear against an internal component of the sight that defines the line of sight of the sight. A spring biases the internal component against the windage and elevation screws. Hardened steel balls are set into the internal component and affixed thereto at approximate positions to provide point contact between the internal component and the windage and elevation screws, and between the internal component and the spring. Adjustment friction is thus reduced with a resultant reduction in tracking error.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for securing spherical bodies to a supporting member by staking. The spheres are fed one by one into a bore of a setting apparatus where they are picked up by the front end of a staking punch which reciprocates in the bore. The punch advances the sphere to the supporting member and imbeds the sphere in the surface of the supporting member while at the same time forming integral tangs from the supporting member which partially encircle the sphere and hold it in place. The punch then withdraws to pick up a fresh sphere and a new supporting member is moved into place to receive the fresh sphere.

Abstract: A mechanism for focussing the objective lens assembly of a variable power telescopic rifle sight. A rotatable cam ring is used in conjunction with a coil spring which urges the lens assembly against the cam ring. A lens retainer portion of the lens assembly adjacent to the cam ring has formed thereon a camming ramp which is complimentary to a camming surface formed on the cam ring.

Abstract: A one piece retaining member for use in a telescopic sight for imparting pivotal movement to an erector lens assembly. The erector lenses are housed in a tubular housing contained in the barrel of the sight. The retaining member includes means forming a pivot for the erector tube and means forming spring fingers for biasing the erector tube about the pivot.
