20090300963 | STOCK INTERFACE - A stock interface can be slipped onto and attached to a standard CAR buffer tube. The stock interface provides structures for attaching a butt stock and stock interface attachments such as an ergonomic attachment, a container attachment, and a power attachment. Small arms ergonomics can be improved by providing a better cheek weld via an ergonomic attachment. Container attachments provide storage. Power attachments provide electrical power for items such as electronic sighting systems, lasers, lights, or any of the other electronic devices attached to a small arm. | 12-10-2009 |

20100011953 | STACKED ORDNANCE - A stacked ordnance device provides a disposable and non reusable projectile weapon for passive area defense or denial. A stacked ordnance device has multiple projectiles and charges positioned sequentially in a barrel. A sensing module triggers a control module to enter a firing sequence. The firing sequence is the order and timing by which an electronic ignition system ignites firing charges and thereby shoots the projectiles. A mount positions the stacked ordnance device. The controller can also trigger a disabler that renders the stacked ordnance device unfit for subsequent use. | 01-21-2010 |
20100175293 | TWO PIECE RAIL SYSTEM FOR FIREARM - A firearm handguard having two identical halves, or half guards, can engage the barrel nut of certain firearms to thereby provide a mounting rail system. The barrel nut attaches the barrel to the receiver. The half guards can be separately positioned in engagement with the barrel nut before fastening them together. The fastening operation can cause the half guards to clamp onto the barrel nut. Alternatively, the front handguard cup of some firearms can prevent the handguard from slipping forward while the rear barrel nut engagement prevents handguard rotation. Free floating variants, however, must clamp onto the barrel nut. | 07-15-2010 |
20100212483 | M240 adapter assembly clip - A clamping mechanism corrects a design flaw in the NSN 1005-01-431-8324 adapter assembly without modifying it. The fine details of military regulations have encouraged the design flaw's persistence by limiting and preventing actions for correcting or modifying the NSN 1005-01-431-8324 adapter assembly. The clamping mechanism can be fielded without violating any regulations and thereby without necessitating the very expensive and time consuming acceptance procedures that would be required of other solutions. The clamping mechanism addresses the design flaw while simultaneously remaining within the regulatory regime. | 08-26-2010 |
20120055060 | ERGONOMIC GRIP INSERT FOR FIREARM - A firearm handgrip can be modified to accept an ergonomic insert that changes the palm relief of a firearm. The palm relief is the handgrip profile that a shooter feels against the palm of the hand when holding the firearm. The ergonomic insert can be releasable from the handgrip, perhaps by unpinning, such that other inserts can be inserted. As such, a person can try a variety of ergonomic inserts until the best insert for that particular person is determined. For certain semiautomatic pistols, cutting away a back portion of the handgrip produces the socket portion of a dovetail joint. An insert having a properly sized dovetail can slide into the socket and be held there. In this manner, a family of ergonomic inserts and a machining service can be offered to thereby provide firearms having interchangeable ergonomic inserts and thereby a customized and ergonomic grip. | 03-08-2012 |
20120260463 | GRIP ENHANCER - A coil of elastic material can be wrapped around the handle of a utensil to thereby provide an enhanced grip. An ideal material for this application is a food grade or medical grade silicone rubber because this material is relatively inert both chemically and biologically. Other advantageous properties include a wide range of working temperatures and the availability of a variety of grades, colors, and firmness. Material of different grades can be combined to provide rigidity to the coil shape while also providing a compliant surface. Texturing of the inner and/or outer coil surfaces can also provide for better handholds and for a more positive contact between the grip enhancer and the utensil handle. | 10-18-2012 |

20130205635 | GRIP INSERT FOR GLOCK HANDGUN - A Glock firearm handgrip is modified to accept a removable ergonomic insert that changes the palm relief of the firearm. A portion of the rounded rear wall of the grip is cut away along a plane parallel to the back plate of the magazine to create a well for the introduction of the insert. The rear surface of the back plate and the converging interior surfaces of the rear wall are used as butting surfaces to hold in place the insert. A prong with a distal latch in the insert is provided for engagement with a transverse pin passed through the sidewalls of the grip. The insert is also preferably equipped with two wings adapted to engage the beveled lower edge of the magazine's back plate. Several inserts with different profiles are provided to a user to select the most comfortable and/or appropriate for him or her. | 08-15-2013 |
