  • Publication number: 20160345488
    Abstract: A dry particulate spreader includes an attachment assembly for use with a portable hand-held air blower for entraining granular fertilizer, grass seed or similar materials into the discharge air stream of the blower, whereby the particulate is broadcast by the air stream. The attachment assembly comprises an adapter secured to the outlet tube of the air blower which penetrates the outlet tube and introduces a semi-cylindrical nozzle into the air stream. The downstream side of the nozzle is open to the air stream and to the particulate hopper. The air flow around the nozzle creates a low pressure area on the open side of the nozzle. The low pressure induces the particulate contained in a hopper attached to the adapter to enter the air stream. An adjustable valve is provided between the hopper and the nozzle to regulate particulate flow. The adapter is located near the end of the outlet tube of the air blower so the particulate is well mixed in the air stream before exiting the outlet tube.

  • Patent number: 8316567
    Abstract: Described herein are embodiments of a firearm cartridge clip including a housing that forms a chamber. The firearm cartridge clip has first and second slots laterally disposed on first and second sides of the housing, respectively. First and second tracks are laterally disposed on inner-sides of the first and second sides of the housing respectively. Each of the tracks have a slot that corresponds to either the first slot or the second slot. A platform is disposed on a central axis of the housing and is slideably coupled to the first track and the second track. A grip mechanism is coupled the platform and configured to enable an individual to laterally slide the platform along the first track and the second track. A locking mechanism is coupled to the grip mechanism and is configured to be inserted into a locking mechanism receiver disposed on a distal end of the housing, which holds the platform in place prior to loading the magazine.

  • Publication number: 20110107639
    Abstract: Described herein are embodiments for an easy loading firearm cartridge clip. The firearm cartridge clip comprises a housing that forms a chamber. The firearm cartridge clip has first and second slots laterally disposed on first and seconds sides of the housing respectively. The length of each slot is substantially equivalent to a length of the housing. First and second tracks are laterally disposed on inner-sides of the first and second sides of the housing respectively. Each of the tracks have a slot that corresponds to either the first slot or the second slot. Each track has a length substantially equivalent to the length of the housing. A platform is disposed on a central axis of the housing and is slideably coupled to the first track and the second track. A grip mechanism is coupled to an underside of the platform and configured to enable an individual to laterally slide the platform along the first track and the second track.
