Patent NZ-508300-A (NZ)
Title: Line retaining plate for trimmer head of string trimmer/mower apparatus
Inventor: KREISSLE STEPHEN O
IPC: A01D34/416
Filed: 2000-11-20
Abstract: A trimmer head assembly of a string trimmer mower apparatus has a stack of plates (20) with a ground engaging member (16) on one end of the stack. At the other end, the stack of plates is fastened to a rotating shaft (18) that is driven in rotation by the motor or engine of the trimmer/mower. The plates of the stack have line retaining devices to which one or more lengths of cutting line are secured. Each plate is of a sufficient thickness to spread the respective line retaining devices axially or vertically apart from one another in suitable increments for providing cutting height adjustment selectively by securing a cutting line at the appropriate height. The line retaining devices enable the cutting line to be secured without tools and without disassembly of the trimmer head. Further, the line does not need to be clamped in place to ensure that it remains secured during high speed rotation of the trimmer head. The line retaining devices have two adjacent projections (43a,43b) having channels (46a,46b) formed around each projection that merge into a common channel (48) at their one end. At the other end of the channels, opposite ends (71) of a length of cutting line are inserted. The cutting line extends through the channels and out beyond the periphery of the plate. A mid portion (72) of the line is tucked underneath a peripheral rim portion of the plate between the projections to secure the line in place.
Patent NZ-510650-A (NZ)
Title: Aiming simulation system for ballistic weapons
Inventor: GERBER PETER
IPC: F41G3/26
Filed: 2001-03-20
Abstract: Simulation of firing weapons is done by the use of laser transmission and reception. Laser is transmitted from the firing device (51) towards a laser receiver device (53) with a target (54). The arrow (55) on the receiver indicates the relative motion that real ammunition would traverse in the presence of gravity. Therefore, instead of aiming directly at the target, a marksman would aim with a lead angle. This lead angle would compensate for the relative motion effects and allow precise targeting. Hence, when the marksman aims at the target with a lead angle and pulls the trigger, a series of short pulses (52) are sent to the receiver first. These pulses are used to calculate the distance, and if necessary, motion of the target. These measurements can then be used to determine if the marksman's estimation of the lead angle was correct.
