Inventor: TEDDE SALVATORE
IPC: F42C19/08
Filed: 2008-10-01
Abstract: Ammunition with structural and functional features such as to optimise the propellant combustion process when the weapon is fired, resulting in accelerated de-livery of the combustion gases. For this purpose, advantageously, the ammunition at issue is fitted with an innovative firing system (4), the incendiary operation of which allows to ignite the entire quantity of propellant (7) in a homogeneous and capillary manner. In this operational circumstance, a considerably larger quantity of propellant (than that occur-ring with the known art) is therefore ignited in a shorter time. This results in accelerated delivery of the gases, such as to transmit to the projectile (5) an extremely fast burst of thrust, resulting in greater ballistic yield of the projectile and greater damage to the target.

IPC: E01B9/30

Abstract: A solution to the problem comprising a reliable and fast fastening of rails on wooden or concrete sleepers and their dismounting is carried out according to this invention by a metal pressure plate - clip in the form of a trapezoid (Fig. 1, Pos. 1.5) and a plastic tie-plate (Fig. 1, Pos. 1.4). The metal pressure plate - clip and the plastic tie-plate constitute an entirety, which allows pre-assembling of the whole assembly in a factory and subsequent incorporation of a rail on the location itself. The form of the metal pressure plate - clip provides a continuous pressure along its entire edge (Fig. 3, Pos. 2.1), providing a firm and reliable connection.  The edge leaning on the rail base is formed in the way to enable a smooth gliding along the rail base during pulling on, preventing unnecessary resistance and damage. The other, narrower side of the pressure plate is formed in the way that it has a fixation edge at its end (Fig. 3, Pos. 3.2), preventing any shifting, after the metal pressure plate - clip is pulled on the rail and the mounting is finished. The plastic tie-plate has a fixation groove at its outer end (Fig.  4, Pos. 4.2) in which the narrower, outer end of the pressure plate enters. The groove is formed in the way that it forms a firm connection with the outer end of the metal pressure plate - clip, so that taking out of the pressure plate is not possible. The tie-plate also contains a bigger groove (Fig. 4, Pos. 4.4), which allows deformation of the pressure plate during dismounting. Due to the coloured edge made on the tie-plate, a very simple and quick visual checking is sufficient to establish whether all the pressure plates are properly pulled on the rail base, thus preventing the spending of time to the control of every screw and pressure plate. A technical solution to the problem comprising the fastening of rails on sleepers by resilient clips according to the invention, includes the use of a corresponding device, which may be installed on the maintenance vehicle and the whole process including the fastening of rails on sleepers and removing them from the sleepers may be carried out with a high degree of automation, which allows significant savings of funds and workers to be engaged in it and the reduction of time to be spent on the fastening of rails and releasing them from the sleepers.

Abstract: An improved needle design is cut diagonally from two sides to form a sharpened cutting edge, rather than a point. The needle has an external diameter and wall thickness sufficient to provide the rigidity necessary to punch the egg shell while the sharpened edge provides a sharp cutting edge able to sever the underlying membrane cleanly and penetrate an embryo if necessary.  The needle's penetrating edge design prevents needle tip fold- over and the resulting formation of a hook which can lead to cross -contamination of eggs and shortened needle life.
