In particular, the invention relates to a delay time that can be set for a stun grenade, a hand grenade etc., with options for the individual setting and situation-dependent or situation-contingent customisation of the delay time (Vz), and consequently of the effect of the active compositions in-situ. In order to achieve individual setting options, the invention proposes that at least two different delay times (Vz) can be set. To this end, the igniter has, in a delay section, preferably in the fuse head, a relief bore that can be closed or opened. | 2021-12-16 |
20210389106 | SUBSONIC POLYMERIC AMMUNITION WITH DIFFUSER - The present invention provides a subsonic ammunition including a polymeric casing body; a propellant insert positioned in the propellant chamber to reduce the internal volume of the propellant chamber; a propellant disposed and confined within the propellant chamber; a primer insert positioned at the body base and in communication with the propellant chamber; a primer and diffuser disposed in the primer insert in combustible communication with the propellant; and a projectile frictionally fitted in the mouth in combustible communication with the propellant. | 2021-12-16 |
20210389107 | Rounded Projectiles for Target Disruption - Provided are methods and related devices for disrupting an explosive device using a propellant driven disrupter (PDD) that propels a rounded projectile (RP) toward an explosive device. The RP travels along a linear trajectory and impacts the target, including a barrier portion of the explosive device. The impacting between the RP and barrier forms a composite projectile via a solid state weld between a portion of the barrier and the RP distal end, thereby minimizing or avoiding spall and fragment generation into the explosive device. The projectile traverses a penetration distance along the linear trajectory, or a defined-angle relative thereto, to disrupt the explosive device without unwanted explosive detonation. | 2021-12-16 |
20210389108 | Torsion Spring Actuated Inertia Igniters and Impulse Switches With Preset No-Fire Protection for Munitions and the Like - A method for actuating a device, the method including: biasing a first movable member in a first direction; biasing a second movable member in a second direction; blocking a movement of the second movable member at a position along a second path when the first and second movable members experience a first acceleration having a first magnitude and a first duration; and allowing the second movable member to move along the second path past the position when the first and second movable members experience a second acceleration having a second magnitude and a second duration, the second magnitude being less than the first magnitude and the second duration being greater than the first duration. | 2021-12-16 |
20210389109 | TILE SQUARE - A tile square includes a right isosceles triangular substantially rigid transparent sheet with ruler indicia adjacent to the hypotenuse and one of the equal sides. A fence is provided along the other equal side. A plurality of templates are formed in the sheet between the sides and hypotenuse. The templates include a plurality of holes for a range of pipe sizes and a series of arcs defining peripheral boundaries of a closet or toilet flange. The equal sides of the tool are at least 18 inches in length. | 2021-12-16 |
20210389110 | MEASURING TAPE HAVING MAGNETIC BASE ATTACHABLE TO MULTI DIMENSIONAL AXES - Disclosed is a measuring tape which includes a housing, a reel received in the housing, and a blade wound on an outer surface of the reel and withdrawn or restored from an entrance of the housing, wherein the housing includes a base which adheres to an outside by using a magnetic force, a first receiving groove providing at least a pair of first lower boundaries parallel to a first direction in which the blade is withdrawn and a second receiving groove providing at least a pair of second lower boundaries parallel with a second direction crossing the first direction are formed on a bottom of the base, and the base is able to be fixed in a two-axis direction with respect to a curved structure by using the first lower boundaries or the second lower boundaries. | 2021-12-16 |
20210389111 | Metrology Device with Automated Compensation and/or Alert for Orientation Errors - A metrology device with automated compensation and/or alert for orientation errors. The device may include a processor, a probe portion and at least one orientation sensor. The probe provides an output representative of a raw measurement of a characteristic of a device under test and the orientation sensor provides a sensor output representative of an orientation of the metrology device to the device under test. The processor applies a correction factor to the raw measurement in response to the sensor output to establish a compensated measurement to compensate for misalignment of the metrology device to the device under test. In addition, or alternatively, the processor provides an alert indicating the existence and/or extent of the misalignment. | 2021-12-16 |
20210389112 | DETECTION DEVICES - A detection device includes: a body; a first set of at least three contact areas on the body to contact a corresponding set of at least three contact areas of a central processing unit (CPU) cover; and a second set of at least three contact areas on the body to contact a set of at least three contact areas on heatsink componentry. An incorrect assembly position of a heatsink is indicated when one or more points of contact with the heatsink componentry and the CPU cover is incorrect. | 2021-12-16 |
