Appl. No.:

09/950994

Inventors:

Robert Hudson Garrett - Manassas VA 20111

International Classification:

F41C 2302

US Classification:

42 85, 24 25, 24 20 R, 224150, 2922566

Abstract:

The present invention relates to hardware used to secure slings to firearms. In particular, to hardware used to secure slings to firearms like that of the M16A2 and M4 Carbine that are fitted with a Picatinny type rail and collapsible buttstock. A wedge/yoke assembly is used to secure an end of a sling to the firearm on a rail and a rotational ring assembly is used to secure an end of a sling to the extension tube of the lower receiver. Both assemblies are designed to be installed quickly without the use of tools and without modification to the firearm. This hardware provides for ambidextrous attachment of a tactical sling to the firearm giving the user a âhands freeâ capability and allowing for engagement of targets when firing from a âweak handâ posture.

Inventors:

Robert Garrett - Severn MD

Assignee:

Roofmates, Incorporated - Severn MD

International Classification:

E04G 312

US Classification:

182 45

Abstract:

A number of roofing accessories, including a lightweight adjustable ladder and scaffold support are disclosed. The scaffold support is provided with a pair of rails spaced the standard spacing of most roof joists. Connected to the rails through suitable holes and slots, are rods supporting an adjustable platform. One of the rods may be placed through a corresponding slot to achieve a suitable angle of adjustment corresponding to roof incline. An apparatus is also provided for supporting loads of materials or supplies on an inclined roof, using components and parts in common with the scaffold support, or components and parts similar thereto. A tool tray is provided which may be backed with a layer of foam to prevent the tray from slipping off the roof, while allowing the tray to be freely moved along and up and down the roof, as work progresses.

Robert Hudson Garrett - Springfield VA, US

International Classification:

B21J009/18

US Classification:

72454, 72414, 72475

Abstract:

The present invention relates to the field of tools used to modify the magazines of firearms. A die and anvil are configured to engage and form the lips of magazines, like that of the M16A4 and M4A1, to correct damage and enhance the feed angle of rounds to improve feeding and accuracy. The die and anvil are provided with a means to align them during the forming process to minimize the attempts necessary to complete the forming process. The anvil is configured to enter from the base of a magazine and to engage the side walls with sufficient tolerance to allow for free movement, but tight enough to detect deformation in the side walls. The anvil can be used as a rigid surface to correct deformation of the side walls with a non-marring tool. The preferred embodiment provides sufficient force to form the feed lips of the magazine without the need for additional tools.

Abstract:

The present invention relates to improved hardware used to secure slings to firearms. In particular, to hardware used to secure slings to firearms like that of the M16A2 and M4 Carbine that are fitted with a Picatinny type rail and collapsible buttstock. An improved wedge/yoke assembly is used to secure one end of a sling to the firearm on a rail. The improved wedge/yoke assembly is designed to be installed quickly with the use of simple tools without modification to the firearm. The improved wedge/yoke assembly is adjustable to compensate for varying slot depths found on Mil-Spec 1913 rails. This hardware used in conjunction with other suitable sling attachment hardware allows for ambidextrous attachment of a tactical sling to the firearm giving the user a “hands free” capability.
