Patent number: 9719741Abstract: A magazine loading device comprises an ammunition delivery interface, a shuttle or escapement, an orientation gate, a staging gate, a plunger, and a magazine receiver. The ammunition may be supplied to the ammunition delivery interface in a number of ways, including utilization of a hopper. The ammunition may be guided into an opening in the shuttle or escapement, which may then transfer the ammunition to an orientation gate. The geometry of the orientation gate is such that the ammunition will always drop through the orientation gate with the projectile down, which in this case is the desired orientation for loading into the magazine. A plunger may then push the ammunition into the magazine.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2016Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: MagPump, LLCInventors: Luther Cifers, Kenneth P. Green

Patent number: 9341433Abstract: A drop away arrow rest system comprises a rest and a cord lever operatively connected to the rest for moving the rest to a cocked position for supporting an arrow in relation to a bow upon drawing a bow string and upon releasing the bow string, triggering the release of the rest to a drop away position. A delayed release mechanism comprises an end cap and a torsion spring connecting the end cap to the cord lever. The cord lever is configured to load the torsion spring upon drawing the bow string and upon releasing the bow string, first release the load on the torsion spring without triggering the release of the rest to a drop away position, and then trigger the release of the rest to a drop away position.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2014Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Inventors: Daniel A. Summers, Kenneth P. Green

Patent number: 5208499Abstract: A commutating brush assembly for rotating electrical equipment is constructed to suppress electromagnetic/radio frequency interference emissions, particularly in the radio frequency range. This is achieved by fabricating the EMI/RFI suppressing brush holder assembly from a material that itself suppresses EMI/RFI emissions generated by electromagnetic apparatus such as motors, generators, rotary switch gears, etc. The EMI/RFI emission suppression capability of the novel assembly may be further enhanced by the addition of certain add-on electrical components such as capacitors or radio frequency choke coils and the like.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 1992Date of Patent: May 4, 1993Assignee: Carbone-Lorraine of North AmericaInventors: Harry C.
