Abstract:
An assembly of a cam and a tilt lock in a shoe for a tilt sash includes retainer tabs disposed near the cam to trap movable brake pads between the tabs and a shoe wall so that the brake pads can move apart in response to pivoting of the cam to a locked position and can move back toward each other to an unlocked position while remaining effectively retained by the tabs.
Abstract:
A trigger blocking device includes a body, a cap, and a key. The body and cap include front and rear portions which are releasably connectable in front of and behind a trigger. The front of the body includes a plurality of flexible and resilient converging legs which extend away from the cap. The front of the cap includes a projection having a detent which is engageable with the legs for releasably locking the body and the cap together. The key includes fingers which are engageable with the legs to flex the legs out of engagement with the detent to unlock the body and the cap.
Abstract:
A ball feeder for a slingshot includes an elongated tube and a ball feeding housing at one end of the tube. The ball feeding housing has an outlet opening which is offset from the axis of the tube. A pair of plungers are reciprocably mounted in the ball feeding housing. Each of the plungers is provided with a ball opening having a diameter substantially the same as the diameter of the tube and an axial dimension less than the diameter of the tube. The total axial dimension of the ball opening is at least as great as the diameter of the bore. At least two different size balls can be fed by the ball feeder. The diameter of one size corresponds to the axial dimension of one of the plungers, and the diameter of the other size corresponds to the diameter of the tube.
