  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LOADING CARTRIDGES WITH PRESSABLE PLASTIC BONDED EXPLOSIVES
    Publication number: 20100180757
    Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus and method for loading small and medium caliber cartridges with pressable plastic bonded explosives (PBXs). A plurality of pellets are pre-formed to have a high density, and are loaded into a small and medium caliber cartridge one by one. Accordingly, a high and uniform density is obtained. And, when manufacturing small and medium caliber cartridges, the pressable PBXs are anticipated to be massively loaded into the small and medium caliber cartridges in the future.

  • EXTREME CHOKE
    Publication number: 20100180758
    Abstract: Disclosed is a manifold device containing two equidistant manifold openings which adapt to shotgun chokes to counteract muzzle rise, felt recoil, and muzzle blast in addition to the selectable shotgun choke which controls the shot pattern. The two manifold openings are located in the upper 180 degree portion of the manifold to counteract forces by discharging gases substantially upwards and backwards. A manifold saddle with sufficient curvature for accommodating a second barrel can be utilized for double barrel weapons. The manifold is held in place to maintain the upper 180 degree direction by a choke stop, clamp, or other attachment.

  • ENERGY SUPPRESSORS
    Publication number: 20100180759
    Abstract: A suppressor for a firearm includes a first gas expansion section of relatively large size sufficient to reduce the temperature and pressure of the gas expelled from a muzzle during discharge of the firearm to a level that avoids rapid degrading of structural members such as baffles in the suppressor that are downstream of the muzzle. The gas is channeled through multiple paths to distribute its energy more equally. Preferably, the suppressor is formed with a lightweight, thermally-conductive composite portion. The composite portion provides lightweight, bursting strength with good thermal conductivity and little contribution to vibrational instability of the muzzle to which it is attached. The composite portion may be of a carbon fiber, silicon, boron, or metallic base.

  • SEMI-AUTOMATIC FIRING CLOSED BOLT-TYPE CARBINE ANTI-JAMMING CARTRIDGE LOADING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20100180760
    Abstract: A semi-automatic firing carbine anti-jamming cartridge loading system is provided wherein no feed lips or a portion of said feed lips are removed, wherein the cartridge to be loaded is feed to the carbine breach along a feed ramp. A bolt enclosing the firing pin includes a pivot plate mounted on the bolt nose, rotating about an axle. A recess formed in the bolt nose provides spacing for the pivot plate to rotate about said axle. If the firing pin protrudes through an aperture formed in the pivot plate, while the pivot plate is still in its collapsed state, then the weapon will jam by the firing pin hanging on the top part of a rim portion of the next loading round, thereby thwarting attempts at reconfiguring the weapon, that employs my novel system, to be re-converted as a fully-automatic weapon.

    Publication number: 20100180793
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a coating layer protecting against corrosion wherein a surface which is to be treated is brought into contact with an aqueous treatment solution containing chromium(III) ions and at least one phosphate compound, wherein the ratio of the molar concentration of the chromium(III) ions to the molar concentration of the at least one phosphate compound (calculated as orthophosphate) lies between 1:1.5 and 1:3. The method improves the corrosion protection of metallic, in particular, zinc-containing, surfaces provided with conversion layers. The decorative and functional properties of the surface are maintained or improved. Furthermore, the known problems resulting from the use of chromium(VI)-containing compounds or from post-treatments with polymer dispersions are avoided.

  • Method and Plant for the Simultaneous Production of Electricity and Cement Clinker
    Publication number: 20100180803
    Abstract: Described is a method as well as a plant for the simultaneous production of electricity and cement clinker by which method cement raw meal is calcined in a calciner (4) subject to simultaneous supply of fuel and combustion air and subsequently burned into cement clinker in a kiln (5), and where some of the heat contained in the exhaust gases from the calciner (4) is utilized to generate electricity by means of a boiler section (18). The method and plant are peculiar in that the combustion air supplied to the calciner (4) does not contain alkali or chloride, and in that the temperature of the exhaust gases used to generate electricity is at least 500° C. Coating formations formed on the boiler tubes due to the condensation of alkali and chloride vapours can be avoided, while, at the same time, the efficiency with which thermal energy can be converted into electrical energy can be increased.
