Abstract: A self-locking cigar cutting tool aids in the effective preparation of a cigar for consumption by creating a clean-cut mouthpiece. The self-locking cigar cutting tool is provided with a first retainer plate and a second retainer plate, wherein a cutting arm is pivotably mounted therein. An annular cutting aperture is formed into the first retainer plate and the second retainer plate, wherein the fixed blade is engaged into the annular cutting aperture opposite the cutting arm. The arcuate channel is formed into the cutting arm such that the detent element may operably engage between the cutting arm, and the first retainer plate and the second retainer plate. The detent element may be biased into a locked configuration, wherein the cutting arm will be captured in a closed configuration. The cutting arm may be biased into an open position, causing the cutting arm to extend when released from the detent element.

Abstract: A significantly simplified sight unit for a mortar is provided consisting of a gauge tool for boresight procedures containing a frame with two legs, each containing a level secured to the frame by a securing bracket. A plurality of C-brackets and screw assemblies stabilize and help further secure the levels to the frame.

Abstract: A gas turbine includes a turbine section; an annular combustor disposed upstream of the turbine section and configured to discharge a hot gas flow on an outlet side to the turbine section; an outer shell delimiting the combustor and splittable at a parting plane; a plenum enclosing the outer shell; a rotor; a turbine vane carrier encompassing the rotor; a plurality of stator vanes disposed on the vane carrier, and at least two sealing segments forming a ring, each of the at least two sealing segments having an inner edge and a head and a foot section and being movably mounted on the inner edge by the foot section to the outer shell and by the head section to the turbine vane carrier so as to mechanically connect the combustor to the turbine vane carrier.

Abstract: A boresight verification device (BVD) comprised of a circular housing with a rear portion of smaller diameter and a front portion of larger diameter. The front portion securely holds a level. The circular housing also contains a plurality of spring plungers which grip the inside of a muzzle when BVD is inserted into a muzzle for use. A tooling ball provides a stable reference point.

Abstract: A conical disk having an obtuse angle that is attached to a rotary tool, like a power drill for example, as an accessory for the treatment and finishing, of surfaces, like sanding, for example. By virtue of its shape, the disk enables an even treatment of surfaces with a minimal effort, with uniform wear of the materials in friction, while preventing undesirable vibrations and forced operation that provoke continuous disengagement from the rotary tool. Other than its different shape, the disk (24) is similar to conventional disks, comprising basically two elements: A surface treating side (26) and attachment means (32).

Abstract: Readily sealable containers which do not require the moistening of dry adhesive layers or the use of removable release liners to protect pressure sensitive adhesive layers. Although the containers may have many applications and uses, they have particular advantages for shipping and mailing purposes. Thus, envelopes and shipping boxes are notable embodiment examples. In general terms, two facing sections of the container have layers of an adhesive substance and a release substance, arranged in such a manner that when the two facing sections are in contact with one another, the adhesive substance layers face the release substance, preventing a permanent sealing of the container, and then, the positioning of another section of the container, free of any adhesive or release substance between the two facing sections, which causes the sealing of the container.
