Appl. No.:

09/489489

Inventors:

D. Keith Miller - Trinity NC
Christopher R. Rogers - Winston-Salem NC
Farrell Smith - Sophia NC

Assignee:

Hughes Supply Company of Thomasville, Inc. - Thomasville NC

International Classification:

E05C 304

US Classification:

292202, 292101, 292241

Abstract:

A locking window. The window includes a window frame including a window sash which is selectively movable between a first closed position and a second open position. A window latch is adapted to be attached to the window and is selectively movable between a first open position and a second locked position to secure the window sash in the closed position. The window latch includes a sweep latch, which is preferably offset, and a non-compressible pivot fastener for attaching the window latch to the window. The offset arrangement provides sufficient space for substantially unequal length actuator and locking arms to provide a mechanical advantage when the window latch is operated. The pivot fastener includes a support bushing and a fastener extending through the support bushing for attaching the offset sweep latch to the window. In the preferred embodiment, the base of the support bushing extends outward to form a load distributing surface and the distal end of the support bushing extends above the surface of the offset sweep latch to allow the offset sweep to move freely about the pivot fastener. A housing extends beyond the pivot fastener parallel to the window frame and includes an aperture for receiving a fastener for attaching the housing to the window.

Assignee:

Hughes Product Company, Inc. - Thomasville NC

International Classification:

F41G 146

US Classification:

42100

Abstract:

A laser bore sight and method for a gun such as a rifle is provided which includes a mandrel with a laser affixed and an arbor for threadably receiving the mandrel. The arbor has a slotted conical well and a threaded shaft in communication therewith so that tightening the mandrel into the arbor will expand the outer diameter of the arbor to hold it firmly within the bore of the gun barrel while it is being sighted. To remove the laser bore sight the mandrel is rotated in an opposite direction and the arbor and mandrel are then easily removed.
