Publication number: 20240011726Abstract: A locking action firearm has a frame, a barrel connected to the frame, a reciprocating action element operable to reciprocate with respect to the frame between a forward battery position and a rear recoil position, a trigger lever connected to the frame and movable between a forward released position and rear actuated position, and a block element movable between a rest position in which movement of the reciprocating action element from the battery position to the recoil position is enabled, and a blocking position in which the block element contacts the reciprocating action element to prevent movement of the reciprocating action element from the forward battery position to the recoil position in response to movement of the trigger lever to discharge the firearm. The block element may be operably connected to the trigger lever and move based on the trigger lever position.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: Franklin Armory Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Grant Vaughan, David Michael Gockel

Patent number: 11818449Abstract: A method for producing a camera module having a first part, preferably a housing part, and a second part, preferably a circuit board or a cover part, in which the two parts are connected in positive locking fashion. The positive lock is produced in that a connecting element connected to the first part in the form of a tongue, sleeve or a pin is guided through an opening of the second part, the first part is brought to abut on the second part and subsequently the end of the connecting element protruding beyond the second part is curled in a deforming process so that the curled end abuts on the second part in a pretensioned manner. A camera module is also described.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2021Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Michael Gockel, Andreas Moehrle, Nikolai Bauer

Patent number: 9421797Abstract: Printing apparatus is provided for printing information on a vertical stack of horizontal vertically-spaced planar objects arranged in a housing, including a separating arrangement for removing the lowermost object from the stack, and a printing device for printing information on the removed object. The stack is supported by a plurality of support arrangements each including a support member mounted for reciprocatory horizontal displacement by an electromagnetic drive device between positions that are adjacent and remote from the stack, respectively. Each support member is guided during this displacement by a guide arrangement including at least one guide lever having a first end pivotally connected with the housing, and a second end connected with a guide follower roller that is in engagement with a guide cam surface carried by the support member. The generation of noise is avoided as a consequence of the accurate guidance of the components.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2013Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: Weidmueller Interface GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Markus Speith, Thorsten Bornefeld, Andreas Wieneke, Andreas Toepper, Rene Manke, Michael Gockel
