Patent number: 12352517Abstract: A delayed blowback system for a firearm is provided. The system includes a bolt with two detent members operatively coupled within the bolt, each detent member comprising a detent. The system further includes a recoil spring guide rod having two matching recesses on opposing sides of the recoil spring guide rod, wherein the bolt and the two detent members are coupled to and slidable along the recoil spring guide rod between a firing position and a recoil position. The firing position includes the detents resting in the matching recesses on the recoil spring guide rod in response to a round being fired, the bolt moves back and pushes the detent members back, wherein by nature of a geometry of the detents and the matched recesses, the detent members outward in opposite directions and perpendicular sliding along the recoil spring guide rail in the recoil position to complete a recoil cycle.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2023Date of Patent: July 8, 2025Assignee: Peppermill Design, LLCInventors: Kevin W Gibbens, David W. Gibbens

Publication number: 20230221625Abstract: Provided is an attachment system for coupling a mobile computing device to an optic device. The optic device may be, but is not limited to a scope, binoculars or the like. The attachment system operates with attachment devices and mounting device with apertures that provide a means to couple a mobile computing device to the optic device in such a way that the attachment system provides a line-of-sight between a camera of the mobile computing device with the lens of the optic device. This allows the camera of the mobile computing device to capture images and video using the high power zoom functionality of the optic device and the convenience of the mobile computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2023Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Kevin W. Gibbens, David W. Gibbens, Eric Christensen
