Weapon System Retention Device

View page
US Patent:
7581484, Sep 1, 2009
Filed:
Aug 22, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/466208
Inventors:
Stephen M Van Dyke-Restifo - Voorheesville NY, US
Alex Wakulenko - Cohoes NY, US
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army - Washington DC
International Classification:
F41A 9/45
US Classification:
89 45, 89 3301, 89 34
Abstract:
An apparatus for retaining an object in a gun tube of a weapon system, the gun tube having a longitudinal axis, a chamber and a breech ring with an opening therein, the apparatus including a plunger that reciprocates in the opening in the breech ring and the chamber; a housing fixed in the opening in the breech ring, the housing holding the plunger; and means for reciprocating the plunger in the opening in the breech ring and the chamber. The object to be retained is propellant. The reciprocating means is automatically operated via electrical and/or mechanical connections to the weapon system.

Fluid-Isolating, Self-Aligning Make-Break Electrical Connection

US Patent:
8357000, Jan 22, 2013
Filed:
Sep 29, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/248140
Inventors:
Jeffrey Allen Albrecht - Rotterdam NY, US
Alex Wakulenko - Cohoes NY, US
Mohammed Badawi - Niskayuna NY, US
Evan Finn - Berkeley Heights NJ, US
Joseph Nicoll - East Greenbush NY, US
Lisa Madigan - Melrose NY, US
Robert Mysliwiec - Cohoes NY, US
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army - Washington DC
International Classification:
H01R 13/64
US Classification:
439248
Abstract:
An electrical make-break connection for an apparatus having a recoiling portion and a non-recoiling portion may include a non-recoiling assembly fixed to the non-recoiling portion and a recoiling assembly fixed to the recoiling portion. Each of the non-recoiling and recoiling assemblies may include a mounting bracket and an electrical contact assembly disposed in the mounting bracket. Each contact assembly may include one or more electrical conductors. The non-recoiling contact assembly may float in its mounting bracket. Part of the mating surface of the recoiling contact assembly may be more elastic than part of the mating surface of the non-recoiling contact assembly. Elastic deformation of the recoiling mating surface by the non-recoiling mating surface may provide a fluid seal for the make-break connection.

Automatically Tuneable Anti-Vibration Boring System

US Patent:
58105280, Sep 22, 1998
Filed:
Dec 9, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/762573
Inventors:
Timothy J. O'Connor - Troy NY
Alex Wakulenko - Cohoes NY
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army - Washington DC
International Classification:
B23B 3900
US Classification:
409141
Abstract:
A lead slug is axially slidably mounted within a longitudinal cavity in the oring shaft of an automatically tuneable anti-vibration boring system. The lead slug is resiliently held in the longitudinal cavity by resilient spring members at its axial ends thereby permitting resonant axial vibration at a frequency determined by the mass of the lead slug and the spring constant of the resilient spring members. A vibration detector within the boring shaft transmits a vibration signal to a controller in response to a vibration of the boring system. The controller transmits a signal to a linear actuator which changes a preload on the resilient spring members, and thereby changes the resonant axial vibration frequency of the lead slug. The linear actuator moves toward or away from the lead slug until the lead slug, resonating at its resonant frequency, reduces the vibration of the boring system.
