  • Patent number: 9163888
    Abstract: A rear lock-up bolt action assembly is provided. The bolt action assembly can include a receiver body including a front aperture capable of receiving a firearm barrel and a rear aperture. A lug groove can be formed in the vicinity of the rear aperture of the receiver body. The bolt action assembly can also include a bolt assembly including a bolt handle and three rear locking lugs arranged on a rear portion of the bolt assembly. The bolt assembly is configured to be arranged in the receiver body such that the three rear locking lugs are capable of being rotated within the lug groove when the bolt handle is rotated. When a round is fired, the three rear locking lugs are forced to mate with the lug groove thereby evenly distributing a bolt pressure on the receiver body.

  • Publication number: 20070002570
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention pertains to a night light assembly which plugs directly into an electrical wall receptacle to provide a beam of light that can be directed along different paths. The assembly comprises a housing having a plug with projecting blade contacts for insertion into a wall receptacle and a light sensor for automatically controlling the activation and de-activation of the lamp of the nightlight. A cover member rotatably supported by the housing includes a lens, a low wattage lamp, a support member, and a lamp retaining member. The low wattage lamp in the cover assembly is coupled, via sliding contacts, to the blade contacts in the base housing. This arrangement allows the cover and the lamp to be rotated as a unit relative to the base housing without limitation. The lamp retaining member is non-rotatably coupled to the cover and is rotatably engaged by a retaining member fixed to the housing member.
