  • Publication number: 20240369336
    Abstract: A system and method for coding firearm-related components to reduce the risk of loading incorrect ammunition into firearms is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of firearm-related components, each associated with a specific caliber of ammunition and marked with a unique identifier. The unique identifier for each caliber may include at least one of a color, a letter, or a shape. Firearm-related components may include storage units, master storage units, ammunition rounds, magazines, holsters, straps, and firearms. The method involves marking these components with unique identifiers and can also incorporate sub-coding for differentiating multiple firearms of the same caliber using additional markings such as stripes or dots in secondary colors. Unique identifiers are applied using methods such as adhesive labels, colored tape, paint, ink dyes, or anodization.

  • Patent number: 12044500
    Abstract: An ammunition magazine loader is disclosed herein. The ammunition magazine loader comprises a loader body defining a guide channel. The loader body is configured to facilitate an introduction of a magazine into the guide channel and allow a linear movement of the magazine back and forth along a longitudinal axis of the loader body within the guide channel. The guide channel is configured to facilitate the placement of a round to be loaded into the magazine therein and facilitate the loading of the round in the loader via the linear movement of the magazine in the guide channel.

  • Patent number: 9980603
    Abstract: A field-ready oven has reinforced telescoped side walls that extend and hold a base, shelf, tray support and cover spaced apart. A low air intake and a semipermeable membrane deliver air and vapor fuel to catalyst pads on the shelf. Radiant heat from exothermic reaction is diffused over a bottom of a tray. Hot gas circulates around the diffuser and tray with a chimney effect before exhausting. A lid on the cover lifts for access to the tray. A fuel container in the oven forces fuel through a capillary restriction to limit fuel flow. A spring in the container is released to start fuel flow.
