  • Patent number: 11717872
    Abstract: A stamping apparatus is provided for producing an ammunition tray from metal sheet template with interleaving parallel cutouts in conjunction with a shop press. The apparatus includes upper and lower tray dies, upper and lower binders, and a pair of bolsters. Each die has opposite external and internal sides. The external side has a depression pocket. The internal side has a die impression to shape the template. Each binder has a cavity. The tray dies are disposed between the binders. The bolsters are disposed for engaging the shop press to apply compressive force. Each bolster correspondingly inserts through the cavity and into the depression pocket. The template is disposed between lower and upper internal sides of respective the dies. The shop press applies compression to the bolsters for stamping the template by the dies into the ammunition tray.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10989243
    Abstract: An explosive bolt is provided for securing a brace in tension. The bolt includes a bar, a pair of explosives, a pair of detonators and a pair of anchors. The bar has opposing longitudinal ends and an outer thickness. Opposing bores extend inwardly from the longitudinal ends to corresponding depth ends. First and second notches reduce the thickness proximate to the corresponding depth ends. A center rod separates the notches from each other. Each explosive correspondingly inserts into a corresponding bore to a corresponding depth end. Each detonator correspondingly inserts into the corresponding bore. Each anchor secures the bar to the brace. In further embodiments, the longitudinal ends include helical male threads, and the anchors are nuts having helical female threads.
