Abstract: A method for disassembling a pistol that includes the steps of coupling a tool to the pistol so that a portion of the pistol is interposed within a retaining aperture formed within the tool, removing a second portion of a slide stop from a notch formed within the frame, removing a first portion of the slide stop from an aperture formed within the frame of the pistol and rotating the second portion of the slide stop to an axis defined by the first portion of the slide stop as the second portion of the slide stop is permitted to contact the tool to prevent a scratch on a portion of the pistol that is prone to being scratched by the second portion of the slide stop.

Abstract: A scratch prevention tool used to disassemble a pistol with a generally planar body, a first surface, a second surface opposing the first surface, a retaining aperture formed within the body, the retaining aperture intersecting the first surface and the second surface and an upper surface interconnecting the first surface and second surface. The tool also includes a side surface interconnecting the first surface and the second surface, a notch interconnecting the first surface and the second surface and interconnecting the upper surface and the side surface, an outer surface interconnecting the first surface and the second surface and interconnecting the upper surface and the side surface, wherein the upper surface abuts a lower surface of a slide of the pistol, the side surface abuts a forward surface of a stock of the pistol and wherein a portion of a magazine release member is interposed within the retaining aperture.

Abstract: A multi-diameter bellows for use in a seal section of a submersible pump. The bellows is adapted to surround a shaft that communicates the motor with the pump. The bellows is made of a first collapsible section and a second collapsible section. The volume of the bellows is varied by moving a coupling member that attaches the first collapsible section to the second collapsible section. The coupling member has an outside portion for connecting to the second collapsible section and an inside portion for connecting to the first collapsible section. The coupling member additionally has a transitional section between the outside portion and the inside portion. The transitional portion of the coupling member allows the inside portion to be located within the second collapsible section, i.e., allows the collapsible sections to be “nested”, which increases displaced volume for a given stroke length of the coupling member.

Abstract: A multi-diameter bellows is provided in a seal section of a submersible pump to assist in allowing expansion of dielectric oil within the submersible pump, to equalize the casing annulus pressure with the internal dielectric motor fluid and to isolate the well fluid from the clean dielectric motor fluid. A shaft communicates the motor with the pump and runs through a bellows located in a bellows chamber in the seal section. The bellows is made of a first collapsible section and a second collapsible section. The first collapsible section has a fixed end at a first end of the bellows and has a first cross-sectional area. The second collapsible section has a fixed end at a second end of the bellows and has a second cross-sectional area. A first coupling member is provided between the first collapsible section and the second collapsible section. A volume within the bellows is varied by movement of the first coupling member towards either of the first end and the second end.
