Abstract:

A cap includes a cap band defining a cap base, and a crown is attached to the cap band. The crown has a front portion and a back portion. First and second spaced-apart tabs are attached respectively to the cap band at the front portion of the crown. The tabs include respective fastener members. A removable adjustment strap is located between the first and second tabs, and includes complementary fastener members at opposite ends thereof for being mated with the fastener members of the first and second tabs. The front portion of the crown defines an open area thereof adjacent to the first and second tabs and adjustment strap for permitting ready attachment and removal of the adjustment strap by the wearer. A bill is attached to the back portion of the crown opposite the adjustment strap, and resides adjacent to a back of the wearer's neck during cap wear.

E04H 100

US Classification:

52 791

Abstract:

A backstop of the "venetian blind" type and contains a set of angled louvers to deflect projectiles safely. The present invention provides a system of modules whereby a backstop may be constructed across a wall of any width. The backstop modules themselves are made in a number of standardized widths, most preferably about 36 inches (0. 91 m), 48 inches (1. 22 m), and 60 inches (1. 52 m) wide. Using various sets of these modules, any width can be filled in to the nearest foot, i. e. , a maximum gap of about six inches remains between the end modules and an adjacent wall surface. These remaining gaps are preferably filled in using a sliding, angled wall plate that accommodates gaps between about zero and six inches. The visible flat edges of plates that form the sides of adjacent modules and the plate against the floor are ricochet hazards, and thus are also preferably provided with angled deflectors. The present invention also discloses an improved angle clip that has a slot that is closed at both ends, an improvement over the open slot clip used in the prior art.

Lockheed Martin Tactical Systems, Inc. - Bethesda MD

International Classification:

F41J 112

US Classification:

273410

Abstract:

A backstop and bullet trap are disclosed that provide access from the front so that spent projectiles can be removed without requiring a crawl space along the side or rear of the backstop, thereby permitting maximum use of the interior space into which the backstop and bullet trap have been installed. The present invention discloses a backstop that has a removable panel on the lower edge of a lower deflector. Preferably the lower panel overlies the lower deflector and is hingably connected to the floor or near the floor. In a preferred embodiment, this hinge connection is provided by resting the lower edge of the removable panel in a recess in the floor. In this embodiment, the removable panel presents an angled deflector surface to the shooter and no additional floor deflectors are required. Methods of removing projectiles from a backstop and bullet trap are also disclosed.

International Classification:

H02M 3/158

Abstract:

A power supply includes a DC-DC converter, a boost converter, an energy storage element; and a voltage clamping circuit. The DC-DC converter is connected to a power source with an output voltage in a first voltage range. The voltage clamper circuit is configured to discharge at least a portion of energy of the energy storage element and to produce current at a clamped output voltage range that is substantially equal to the first voltage range. The discharged energy provides hold-up time for the power supply.
