  • Publication number: 20230194198
    Abstract: A magazine catch body comprising a magazine and a magazine catch body comprising magazine catch buttons extended left and right, a magazine catch shaft connecting the magazine catch buttons to each other, and a magazine catch lever connected to the shaft for transmitting locking-releasing movements of the magazine catch buttons to the magazine to lock and release the magazine to the firearm, is disclosed. The magazine catch body comprises a spring around the shaft. The magazine catch buttons are substantially symmetrically located in respect of the firearm. The magazine catch buttons form the magazine catch body to one structural unity functionable as one mechanism. The magazine catch button extended left comprises a necked part pressing the lower receiver and receiving draw of the spring causing a holding force. In the necked part is an opening for a pin forming a turning axis of the magazine catch button extended left.

  • Publication number: 20230160648
    Abstract: The invention relates to a firearm (100) comprising a barrel (101) comprising a gas opening, and a gas system (10), which gas system (10) comprises a gas block (11), a gas piston (12), a force transmitter assembly (13), an indexing part (21) and an indexing counterpart (22), gas openings (18). The gas block (11) is fixedly attached to the barrel and the gas piston (12) is positioned by the indexing part (21; 22). In the gas system (10) gas is configured to pass through the gas opening of the barrel (101) via the gas openings (18) of the gas system into the gas block (11) and to set the gas piston (12) to movement. In the gas system (10) the gas piston (12) during its movement backwards is configured to close the gas opening of the barrel (101) for a defined time period and the gas piston (12) is not transmitting power/energy from combustion gas to the force transmitter assembly (13) unless the gas opening/-s (18) is/are closed.

  • Patent number: 9433123
    Abstract: An exemplary electric apparatus includes a fan for generating a first airflow, a component space includes a secondary electric component, and a housing. In order to obtain efficient cooling solution one or more walls separate the component space including the secondary electric component from the first cooling element for preventing the first airflow from entering the component space. A second cooling element has a first end in the component space and a second end located outside of the component space for dissipating heat received from the secondary electric component to the first airflow.
