Abstract: A penile erection sustainer for assisting in obtaining and sustaining a human penile erection. The sustainer provides a remote, quick release adjustable method for restricting blood flow from the penis. In the preferred embodiment, a soft pliable fabric ribbon member is used to encircle the penis. A hook and loop pile fastener of sufficient length and correct placement adapts the sustainer to varying penis sizes. Attached to the encircling end of the ribbon member are unique twin narrow ribbon tightening members. They are used to tighten the sustainer around the penis. They do not interfere with the release of the sustainer. No elastic components or materials are used in the sustainer. An extended length of the ribbon member is used to remotely release the sustainer without disturbing the act. A quick release permits unrestricted ejaculation.

Abstract: An interlocking release mechanism uses a toothed pinion engaging a toothed rack or gear. The teeth of the pinion are removed in certain areas so as a lock arm, when moved axially from in alignment with a tooth segment to where the tooth has been removed, permits the pinion to be rotated by the rack. The rack and the lock arm must be operated in the correct sequence or the lock arm will be jammed. With the correct sequence of lock arm motion and pinion rotation by the rack or gear, the rack or gear may be moved to achieve the desired release action of the subject invention.

Abstract: A safe and arm device for a fuze wherein the safe and arm device does not require stored energy and is activated by a solenoid operating on a pawl mechanism. The pawl in turn pulls a plunger against a detonating chamber in a ratchet-like manner. As the plunger is pulled towards the detonating chamber, a spring stem is compressed thus applying a force against the detonating chamber. Initially, the detonating chamber is locked in a safe position. After the pawl has pulled the plunger into compression against the detonating chamber, a lock on the detonating chamber is released and the detonating chamber pivots into an arm position. This allows a detonator within the chamber to detonate the fuze.

Abstract: A safing and arming device for a munition fuze operates without the use of stored energy. The safing and arming device is controlled by a solenoid rotating a rotor and shutter in a ratchet fashion. As the shutter is rotated, a detonating device is brought into position over an explosive lead charge. The design of the rotor and shutter ensures that the detonator is not aligned with the lead charge until after several safety steps have been completed, after which the shutter quickly arms the fuze. Energy is generated for fuze arming during the completion of the safety steps. The design of the safing and arming device minimizes power requirements for safing and arming the fuze.

Abstract: An apparatus which attaches a first device within a cavity of an anchor without using inserts, flanges, or adhesives is disclosed. Flexibility in positioning the device relative to the anchor is provided regardless of whether the anchor cavity or the device is threaded. A keeper having two rows of teeth, each row being substantially perpendicular to the threads, is mounted between the device and anchor and rotates under a force exerted by a pin so that only one of the two rows engages the thread channels. The force exerted by the pin also causes the keeper to pivot about a pivot end which is specifically shaped to prevent binding upon removal of the device from the cavity.

Abstract: A movement blocking apparatus having an inner locking ring rotatably mounted within a housing is disclosed. The housing contains slits which, in a locked position, align with inclined plane portions of the locking ring. Notches reside axially adjacent to the inclined plane portions of the locking ring. A blocking pin, which blocks movement of a shaft, is inserted in the housing slits, causing the locking ring to rotate away from the locked position due to operation of the blocking pin against the inclined planes. When the blocking pin has been inserted into the slits far enough to engage the locking ring notches, a spring causes the locking ring to return to the locked position and entrap the blocking pin.

Abstract: A low-profile generator contained within a housing and suitable for energizing electrical bomb fuzes is disclosed. A generating device attaches to an inside surface of a hinged cover. The cover pivots between a closed position where the generating device cannot engage a fluid flow and an open position where fluid flow causes a turbine to rotate and the generating device to produce electricity. Several safeguards are provided each of which tend to prohibit an unwanted opening of the cover.

Abstract: An apparatus which routes electrical conductors through a sealed opening in a wall using a flexible printed wiring cable is disclosed. The apparatus includes a thermoplastic material injection molded around a flexible printed wiring cable. Within the molded object, the cable contains two sections where cable conductors are not enclosed within flexible printed wiring insulation. The two sections are separated by a third section in which cable conductors are enclosed within insulation. The cable additionally contains an increased amount of conductor material where the cable enters and exits the molded object. Two O-rings are contained within the periphery of the molded object.

Abstract: A safing and arming timer being responsive to sequentially sampled deceleration forces to operate in one of a non-retard or retard mode wherein different non-retard and retard safe separation times may be predetermined and sequential outputs are available for sequential control of two different output functions.
