  • Patent number: 10753704
    Abstract: A shoulder fired weapon comprising: a lower receiver, a magazine removably attachable to the lower receiver; a buffer tube attached to the lower receiver; a buttstock attached to the buffer tube, and where the buttstock can rotate with respect to the lower receiver and the buttstock can lock into place. A rotating buffer apparatus comprising: a front end buffer tube, the front end buffer configured to screw into a lower receiver of a shoulder fired weapon; a rear end buffer tube, aligned with and adjacent to the front end buffer tube; the rear end buffer tube configured to attach to a buttstock; and where when the rotating buffer apparatus is installed into the shoulder fired weapon, the buttstock can rotate with respect to the lower receiver and the buttstock can lock into place.

  • Publication number: 20040099202
    Abstract: A preformed molded colored shell adapted to be placed on case of a gauge, such as a pressure gauge. Cutouts allow the shell to be installed or removed without removing the gauge from service. A predetermined action may be taken based on the color of the shell. The shell provides a simplified means of identifying the pressure gauge. The shell can be adapted to comprise any one, or more, of a plurality of colors. A greater variety of colors can be imparted to the case than is available when integrating color into a phenolic case. The shell can thereby provide a true color to a case, whereas phenolic colored cases comprise a black hue. Thus, an identification system comprising a plurality of different colored shells is provided.

  • Patent number: 6679122
    Abstract: A dampening apparatus for a pressure gauge in which a housing secured to the amplifier of the pressure gauge encircles the pointer shaft in a close but loose fit relation so as to define a controlled clearance packed with a high viscosity dampening agent such that it serves to decelerate and cushion any sudden shock or pulsation force that would otherwise be transmitted from the pointer shaft to a pointer registering values of pressure of fluid pressure being monitored.

  • Patent number: 6651507
    Abstract: Various embodiments are disclosed of dampening apparatus for a pressure gauge in which a short length of sleeve, ferrule, hub or thimble encircles a pointer shaft in a close but loose fit relation defining a clearances packed with a high viscosity dampening agent such that it serves to decelerate and cushion any sudden shock or pulsation force that would otherwise be transmitted from the pointer shaft to a pointer registering values of pressure of fluid pressure being monitored.

  • Patent number: 6164138
    Abstract: There is disclosed a pressure gauge construction in which the dial plate includes recessed indentations interfit with pins projecting beyond the front face of the gauge movement for supporting a dial plate in place. An adhesive cement is contained between the back face of the dial plate and the front face of the movement effects an adhesive bonding therebetween.

  • Patent number: 5666710
    Abstract: A system for first setting a blind rivet and then verifying the correctness of the set comprising a rivet setting tool to set the rivet and computer logic to verify the correctness of the set. The setting tool includes a jaw assembly for holding the stem of the rivet's mandrel fitted to an axially movable pulling shaft. Both the pulling force of the setting tool and the displacement of the pulling shaft are measured and the measurements are interpreted by an integrator to determine the total energy of the setting process. The determined total energy is then compared with an ideal total energy to assess whether or not the set of the particular rivet is acceptable. Other quantitative comparisons may be made against other ideal values.

  • Patent number: 5110029
    Abstract: The likelihood of successful transfer of a blind rivet from a loading device to the nose of a blind rivet setting tool is substantially improved by conforming the end surface of the nose which receives the blind rivet to the convex surface of the blind rivet flange which is received and by making the inner diameter of the nose bore correspond to the inner diameter of the convex rivet surface.
