Patent number: 10254078Abstract: A holster system that comprises a holster and an accessory configured to be fixed to a mounting rail of a handgun. The holster has a holster body with a pair of opposing wall portions defining a cavity. Each wall portion has an inwardly projecting rib dividing the cavity into an upper first cavity portion and a lower second cavity portion. The first cavity portion is dimensioned to receive various handgun makes and models in a spaced relationship from three sides thereof. The second cavity portion is configured to receive the accessory so that a conforming engagement is formed between the accessory and the holster body. A stop surface of the holster body engages a forward facing surface of the accessory upon insertion of the handgun with accessory into the holster body thereby providing a seating position of the handgun and accessory in the holster body. A retention mechanism of the system has a blocking portion movable between a blocking position and a non-blocking position.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2017Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: Vista Outdoor Operations LLCInventors: Troy Lance, Liam Yarbrough, Robert Kincaid, Paul Smith, Christopher Michael

Patent number: 7687151Abstract: An overlay for repairing spline and seal teeth of a mated component is disclosed. The overlay is a tube constructed of a weld repair material, the tube having an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface is dimensioned to define an aperture sized to receive a plurality of radially spaced splines of the component, the splines of the component arranged to matingly engage a complementary component.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2005Date of Patent: March 30, 2010Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Troy Lance Finton, Thomas Joseph Kelly, Kenneth Eric Lutz

Patent number: 7591057Abstract: A method of repairing spline and seal teeth of a mated component is disclosed. The method includes a low energy input weld to deposit a repair material on the non-worn, non-pressure face of the splines while minimizing the HAZ grain size. The splined area of the component is then remachined to the original spline contour by removing original material from the worn, pressure face of the splines and excess repair material to produce a mated component with radially re-clocked splines that have original component material on the pressure face of the teeth.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2005Date of Patent: September 22, 2009Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Troy Lance Finton, Thomas Joseph Kelly, Kenneth Eric Lutz

Publication number: 20090065556Abstract: A welding method is disclosed in which a structural weld overlay is re-oriented from a circumferential orientation to an axial orientation during deposition. The axial welding orientation provides a more favorable condition to prevent weld cracking and shrinkage distortion. The axial welding orientation also allows two or more weld machines to be used simultaneously so that two or more welding arcs can simultaneously deposit filler material or the overlay, thereby reducing the time required to complete the structural weld overlay.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2007Publication date: March 12, 2009Applicant: GE-Hitachi Nucleare Energy Americas LLCInventors: Troy Lance Finton, Michael Peter Fisher, Merlln Wayne Goddard
