Publication number: 20190093998Abstract: Herein we describe embodiments of shotgun shells, methods for loading such shotgun shells, and methods for using them. In some embodiments, the shotgun shells utilize a multi-component wad system with a biodegradable powder wad that stays intact through the firing process, and a separate and chemically distinct biodegradable shot wad that breaks apart within one meter after being shot out of the barrel of a shotgun. A clean release of the shot can be obtained, providing both high performance and biodegradability. The biodegradable shot wad can be a biodegradable polyester.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2018Publication date: March 28, 2019Inventors: Kirk J. Havens, David M. Stanhope, Kory T. Angstadt, Jason P. McDevitt, Jay Menefee, David Daughtry

Publication number: 20190093999Abstract: A system for communicating with a projectile in flight toward an intended target includes a barrel-launched projectile and a remote receiver. The barrel-launched projectile includes an ordnance portion, an active communications apparatus and an onboard speed control. The active communications apparatus includes an onboard receiver, an electromagnetic wave reception device, and an active transmitter. The electromagnetic wave reception device includes at least one from the group consisting of an antenna and a photo receptor and is configured to receive an electromagnetic signal. The electromagnetic wave reception device is connected to provide a signal derived from the electromagnetic signal to the onboard receiver to deploy the onboard speed control. The active transmitter is connected and configured for transmitting a signal to the remote receiver during flight and before activation of the speed control.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2018Publication date: March 28, 2019Inventors: William P. Parker, Thomas F. A. Bibby

Publication number: 20190094000Abstract: The invention relates to an automated progressive ammunition, in particular cartridge, assembly apparatus (1) and method. The automated progressive ammunition assembly apparatus (1) according to the invention comprises a conveyor subsystem (4) and at least one assembly station (5). The at least one assembly station (5) comprises an actuator subsystem (8), a measurement subsystem (12) and a control subsystem (13). The conveyor subsystem (4) is adapted to transport the ammunition (2, 3) past the at least one assembly station (5) in an assembly direction (6) preferably along a rectilinear path. The actuator subsystem (8) is adapted to move a component (9), such as a powder or propellant (10) or a projectile (11), thereby adding the component to the ammunition. The component thus changes at least one physical parameter (P) of the ammunition.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2017Publication date: March 28, 2019Inventor: Leonid ABEL

Publication number: 20190094001Abstract: A tape rule assembly includes a linear optical encoder for sensing human-readable graduations of length disposed on a surface of a tape, without requiring any other machine-readable indicia to be present on the tape. The optical encoder includes two optical sensors disposed in a sensor holder pivotably disposed in the tape rule housing and configured to be displaced relative to one another in the housing along both the “x” axis and the “z” axis, a set of intersecting “x”, “y” and “z” axes being defined relative to a tape exit in the tape rule housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2017Publication date: March 28, 2019Inventors: Michael J. Murray, Aliaksei Chernyshou, Gabriel A. Haboubi

Publication number: 20190094002Abstract: A flatness detector includes a positioning plate, a positioning assembly arranged on a top surface of the positioning plate, a dial indicator arranged on the positioning assembly, and a sliding block. The positioning assembly includes a first positioning rod and a second positioning rod perpendicularly coupled together and pin-jointed. The dial indicator includes a detecting post maintained as a plumb line by the positioning assembly. The sliding block defines a groove for conforming to the detecting post. A measurement value of the dial indicator is obtained when the groove of the sliding block is conformed to the detecting post.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2017Publication date: March 28, 2019Inventors: LI-CHIN LU, JIAN-HUA XIANG
