Patent number: 10464223Abstract: A knife for holding a blade having a bottom with a hole and a cutting tip which extends from the bottom includes a body having a rest zone for the bottom of the blade to be disposed in the body, and a mouth at a front end of the body which receives the bottom of the blade. The mouth guides the bottom of the blade to the rest zone. The body includes a recess in communication with the rest zone. The knife includes a lock disposed in the recess for securely holding the blade. The lock has a base which is fixedly attached inside the body. When in a locked state, the lock end is disposed in the hole in the bottom of the blade which holds the blade in place and the blade is unable to move from the rest zone. When in an unlocked state, the lock end separate and apart from the hole in the bottom of the blade so the blade can be moved from the rest zone. The lock having a move disposed between the lock end and the base.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2017Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Inventor: Dominick Scalise

Patent number: 7228779Abstract: An automatic primer feed mechanism for use with a carrier assembly of a large caliber artillery piece, which includes mechanical assemblies for automatic primer loading after full breech closure and allows for spent primer cartridges to be extracted before opening of the breech to maximize safety, thereby allowing the gun crew to perform artillery piece misfire, sticker and check fire operations before the breech is opened. The mechanism includes a body member that mounts the automatic feed mechanism to the carrier of the artillery piece so as to interface with the carrier to position the mechanism on one side of the breech of the artillery piece. The body member includes a cam surface member, which provides a path for movement of an injection arm member. The tray member has guide rails for engagement with the body, which slides in relation thereto. A magazine containing a plurality of primer cartridges, which inserts in a receiver channel located in the tray member.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2001Date of Patent: June 12, 2007Assignee: United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Stephen M.
