Abstract: Disclosed is a case for a handset of a cordless phone which adapts the cordless phone handset for hands free use. The case is open on one side to receive the cordless handset which is then secured into place by foldable flaps at each end of the case. A microphone is within the flap next to the earpiece of the cordless handset and a speaker is within the flap next to the mouthpiece. The microphone and speaker are wired to a telephone headset. The case is secured to the body of the user and the headset positioned on the head of the user. When the cordless handset is activated, the user utilizes the headset for hand's free use of the cordless phone. The user may move about freely within the range of the cordless phone with both hands free for other tasks.

Abstract: A process for forming ignition cable core and a product of the process are described wherein multiple strength filaments are individually coated with an electrically conductive, curable elastomeric material, a common overcoating surrounding the mixture, then cabled together and again coated with the individually coated strength filaments in order to form the core for an ignition cable which is characterized by improved resistance to separation between the filament and conductive coating, for example, when the ignition cable core is stripped for electrical termination.

Abstract: It has been discovered that the addition of a small amount (less than 5 percent by weight) of chopped graphite fibers to an electrically conductive silicone elastomeric mixture increases the electrical conductivity to an unexpected degree. The electrically conductive silicone elastomeric mixture can be coated on a base member and cured to yield an electrically conductive device.An application of the technology is the manufacture of conductive core for use in automotive ignition cable. By using this electrically conductive silicone elastomeric mixture it is no longer necessary that the base member itself be conductive.

Abstract: A device and method are described for stripping the outer jacket from the inner core of an electrical cable or the like. The device comprises means for generating a high-pressure jet of fluid, means for directing the jet along the length of the electric cable thereby cutting a score mark along the length of the outer jacket, and means for separating the inner core from the outer jacket along the score mark.

Abstract: A cartridge containing a propellant charge, and a separate projectile are dividually loaded into two independently operable sections of a gun breech assembly. The automatic loading operation is facilitated by separating the two sections during recoil movement, loading each component, and re-aligning both sections with the gun barrel in the battery position at the conclusion of counter-recoil movement.

Abstract: An automatic gun for firing a projectile by means of a separately loaded pellant case has a receiving frame in which an elongated barrel can reciprocate. The barrel, which has an axial bore from its breech to its muzzle, has a chamber member slidably mounted on its breech end. This chamber member, having a concavity shaped to hold the propellant case, is transversely displaced from alignment with the barrel to an unlocked position by an actuating means, in response to barrel recoil.

Abstract: A forward end of a cup shaped tubular cartridge case utilizes a divergently apered exterior wall and a straight sided interior wall to permit initial assembly of a fully telescoped projectile therein and subsequent reliable sealing of the cartridge case by a convergent seal member. After sealing the divergently tapered exterior wall of the cartridge case is converted to a convergently tapered wall preventing separation of the seal member from the cartridge case during projectile launch.
