Patent number: 12000665Abstract: A device for driving mechanical safety systems. The device contains a housing in which at least one moving piston is arranged. The piston is connected to a first toothed rack and the first toothed rack is operatively connected to a pinion. A second toothed rack is arranged for movement in the housing. As a result, the second toothed rack is displaced in the opposite direction to the movement of the piston. The device has a locking lever and a shift claw. The shift claw is mounted on the second toothed rack and is arranged such that, on movement of the second toothed rack, the shift claw can actuate the locking lever. A locking bush secures the securing shaft to be driven. The locking bush is initially transferred to an unlocked position on movement of the toothed racks and is returned to a locked position on conclusion of the movement.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2022Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: Rheinmetall Waffe Munition GmbHInventors: Berthold Baumann, Klaus Lawitzke

Patent number: 9080825Abstract: A firearm utilizing a ratcheting system to rotate a cylinder containing ammunition is disclosed. The ratchet system is designed to accommodate the cylinder being in an initial safe (without a chamber centered over the barrel and hammer) and subsequent active positions. A ratchet arm protrudes through the breach plate and is supported thereon as it pushes ratchet pads on the cylinder from a starting point in either position to the next active position. Numerous designs for the ratchet pads and the ratchet arm are disclosed, as is a stepped drawbar to accommodate the workings of the firearm and a locking bar that interfaces with both the hammer and locking notches in the circumference of the cylinder so as to release and secure the cylinder in appropriate positions.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2014Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Inventor: Paul A. Tusting

Patent number: 7752795Abstract: New design for semi-automatic weapon for several tubes cartridges loading system for long guns, wherein an in-between connection steel part fixes the barrel to the receiver. The retention of the cartridges inside the parallel tubes is done by three metallic nails. The springs of the loading tubes push the cartridges into the cylinder inside the gun through three openings made into the front side of the receiver under the barrel. The rotation mechanism of the cylinder is a result of changing the movement of the bolt from horizontal into vertical.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2007Date of Patent: July 13, 2010Inventor: Juan Francisco Mautone Medvedeo

Patent number: 7012169Abstract: A device that can be used to treat appendage ailments is provided. The device, or appendage sleeve, can be used for wounds, cuts, and blisters, as well as joint related ailments, such as arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome. In some instances, the appendage sleeve can at least partially made from an elastomeric material, such as an elastomeric nonwoven, so that the sleeve can more aptly fit onto a finger or toe. Furthermore, the sleeve can also possess a barrier that is liquid impermeable, but vapor permeable so that the finger or toe of a user is more comfortable. Various additives can be applied to the sleeve to aid for therapeutic purposes.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2001Date of Patent: March 14, 2006Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Jason P. McDevitt, Michael S. Brunner, Kaiyuan Yang, Jark Lau, John Metz

Patent number: 6931774Abstract: A replacement cylinder that enables the use of modern smokeless gunpowder in a black powder muzzle-loading revolver is provided. The cylinder includes a main cylinder body and a removable cylinder cap. The main cylinder body includes a number of chambers, each of which having a projectile portion, a propellant portion and a primer portion. The cylinder cap includes a number of captured firing pins positioned therein. During operation, the cylinder cap is allowed to axially translate relative to the main cylinder body. A method of muzzle-loading the cylinder of the invention using modern smokeless gunpowder and a primer is also provided and is facilitated by the provision of a loading plate.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2003Date of Patent: August 23, 2005Inventor: Kenneth P. Howell, Jr.

Patent number: 6612140Abstract: The invention is a lock for a gun that locks the trigger so it cannot be moved. The lock fits between the trigger and the trigger guard and keeps the trigger from moving. One of the unique features of the lock is that it can be locked both by a key and a padlock. The lock is comprised of two sections that in the preferred embodiment are made out of plastic which are attached together by a flexible strip of plastic and, thus, can be molded as a single piece. In approximately the middle of both sections is an opening. In this opening is placed the lock cylinder with a pin. From the end of the lock cylinder extends a loop with a sufficient size opening that a shackle of a padlock can be placed through it. To use the lock, one places the two sections together between the trigger and the trigger guard and then inserts the key into the lock cylinder and turns it. Once the pin falls in the proper location, the lock is securely held together between the trigger and trigger guard such that the trigger cannot be moved.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2000Date of Patent: September 2, 2003Inventors: Mike Strassell, Tom Deeb

Patent number: 6029385Abstract: A conversion cylinder assembly is provided for converting a 44 cal. cap and ball revolver to use with 45 Long Colt ammunition. To maintain authentic appearance and function, the conversion cylinder chambers up to six 45 Long Colt cartridges. To provide clearance for the cartridge rims, each of the chambers is angled slightly relative to the centerline of the cylinder and centerline of the barrel. This provides spacing for the ends of the cartridges while keeping the projectiles aligned with the barrel at the forward end of the cylinder.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 1998Date of Patent: February 29, 2000Inventor: Kenneth P Howell, Jr.

Patent number: 4318239Abstract: A device for loading revolvers from the front of the cylinder, a rotating cylinder in the revolver designed to releasably retain cartridges therein and to receive new loads from the loader and at the same time eject the empty casings. The rotating cylinder has a pivotal yoke and an arm extending laterally therefrom with a locking means for releasably maintaining the revolver cylinder in firing position on the frame. Guides are provided for aligning the cartridge chambers of the respective cylinders with each other. A loading cylinder abuts the revolver cylinder for reloading. A series of rams are provided which are movable against the reloading cartridges and which will contact the spent casings in the revolver cylinder and eject same. Casing retainers in the revolver cylinder will secure the reloads in place therein. A back plate mounted on the rear end face of the revolver cylinder maintains the holding means in the chambers in holding position.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 1980Date of Patent: March 9, 1982Inventors: Jonathan W. Phillips, Jr., Ted E. Bailey, Jr., C. L. Bailey, Jr.

Patent number: 4215502Abstract: A firearm is provided which includes a stock having a barrel end face, a generally longitudinally-extending primary bore formed therein and opening onto the barrel end face, and at least one generally transversely-extending, internally-threaded ancillary bore formed therein one end of which opens onto the primary bore and the other end of which opens onto a lateral face of the stock. The firearm also includes a double barrel having a barrel end plate and a bolt secured to the barrel end plate having an annular groove which bolt is demountably and rotatably received within the primary bore with the groove thereof being positioned such that it opposes the ancillary bore. At least one set screw is threadably receivable in the ancillary bore and has an inner end which is configured and dimensioned to permit mating engagement thereof with the annular groove, so as to retain the bolt in the primary bore while permitting rotation thereof and, in turn, the double barrel.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 1978Date of Patent: August 5, 1980Assignee: Loven Firearms CompanyInventor: Carl K.
