Abstract:
1. A system for installing and removing male threaded ammunition reloading dies to and from an ammunition reloading press, the system comprising an adapter having an internally threaded central bore and a generally cylindrical outer surface extending from a top end to a bottom end with a number of at least two equally spaced threaded sections of axially stacked columns of a plurality of equally axially spaced external screw thread segments of equal arc length, the adapter threaded sections being circumferentially separated by open sections, each adapter threaded section having the same number of screw thread segments with the same axial separation between the screw thread segments, each of which has the same angle of slope and the screw thread segments of each threaded section are started at the same distance from the adapter top end, and a press, the press having formed therein a socket having a generally cylindrical inner surface extending from a top end to a bottom end with the same number of equally spaced threaded sections of axially stacked columns of equally axially spaced internal screw thread segments of equal arc length corresponding to and engageable with the adapter thread segments, being the same in number as the adapter thread segments, with the same axial separation between the screw thread segments, which have the same angle of slope and start, the press socket threaded sections being circumferentially separated by open sections having a diameter and arc length equal to or greater than the diameter and arc length of the adapter threaded sections and the adapter open sections having a diameter equal to or less than the diameter of the press socket threaded sections.
