Free-Flowing Paintball Hopper

US Patent:
6725852, Apr 27, 2004
Filed:
Apr 23, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/422420
Inventors:
Michael J. Yokota - San Diego CA
Joseph A. Landry - Spring Valley CA
Lester Broersma - San Diego CA
Assignee:
JT USA, Inc. - Chula Vista CA
International Classification:
F41B 1102
US Classification:
124 49, 124 511
Abstract:
An ammunition magazine for dispensing uniformly-sized spherical projectiles such as paintballs into a gun adapted to shoot said projectiles has a generally oblong, closed container having a channel defined in its bottom from a distal axial end to an outlet port located in a lowermost, median portion of the container. The proximal portion of the container floor defines a slanted platform which extends above and beyond the outer port so that projectiles are urged by the platform toward the distal end of the channel from where they roll under the platform and into the outlet port. A helicoidal stirring arm projects from a distal area of the platform obliquely over the exposed part of the channel. The steering arm is driven by an electrical motor controlled by a switch conveniently mounted on the side of the magazine. The arm spins in a ball-uplifting direction to break any jamming of the balls above the channel.

Headgear

US Patent:
6880176, Apr 19, 2005
Filed:
Nov 9, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/035802
Inventors:
Richard M. Timms - Del Mar CA, US
Michael J. Yokota - San Diego CA, US
John W. Montello - El Cajon CA, US
Assignee:
Troxel Cycling & Fitness LLC - San Diego CA
International Classification:
A63B071/10
US Classification:
2425, 21713, 21845
Abstract:
An improved headgear includes an outer shell and an inner liner providing a head receiving cavity. A headband has a forward portion and lateral portions secured to the inner liner and a rearward portion extending rearwardly of said lateral portions. A first vent aperture is centrally formed in the outer shell. A second vent aperture is centrally formed in the inner liner. Third vent apertures are formed in the inner liner in spaced relationship with the second vent aperture.

Anti-Chop Electronic Firing Control For Paintball Markers

US Patent:
6966313, Nov 22, 2005
Filed:
Jun 21, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/873984
Inventors:
Michael J. Yokota - San Diego CA, US
Lester Broersma - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
JT USA LLC - Corona CA
International Classification:
F41B011/00
F41B011/02
US Classification:
124 32, 124 74, 124 77
Abstract:
In a paintball gun in which projectiles are admitted into the breech from a feed port through a radial aperture, sensors positioned in line with the aperture detect whether a projectile is completely or partially inserted into the breech, or totally missing. An electronic logic circuit allows the firing of the gun only when the projectile is fully inserted, and prevents the firing when the projectile is only partially inserted into the breech. A dry firing of the gun is enabled if the breech remains empty of any projectile for a short period. The dry firing is intended to dislodge any projectile jammed in the feed port.

Headgear

US Patent:
6317896, Nov 20, 2001
Filed:
Oct 25, 2000
Appl. No.:
9/696644
Inventors:
Richard M. Timms - Del Mar CA
Michael J. Yokota - San Diego CA
John W. Montello - El Cajon CA
Assignee:
Troxel Cycling & Fitness LLC - San Diego CA
International Classification:
A42B 122
US Classification:
2417
Abstract:
An improved headgear includes an outer shell and an inner liner providing a head receiving cavity. A headband has a forward portion and lateral portions secured to the inner liner and a pair of rearwardly extending flexible members having interconnecting free end portions that allow the headband to be adjusted to many heads of different length. A fabric lining covers the headband forward and lateral portions and has slot openings through which the headband flexible members extend. An adjustable opening at the top of the fabric lining facilitates headgear vertical adjustment. A pair of side retention straps extend downwardly from the sides of the outer shell. A pair of rear retention straps mount to respective ones of the side retention straps and are adjustably secured to each other. The inner liner has channels that receive the side retention straps and allow them to drape down in close proximity to a wearer's temples and cheeks.

Continuous Processing/In-Situ Curing Of Incrementally Applied Resin Matrix Composite Materials

US Patent:
5266139, Nov 30, 1993
Filed:
Oct 2, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/955631
Inventors:
Michael J. Yokota - San Diego CA
Edward M. Gilchrist - San Diego CA
Douglas S. Cox - San Diego CA
Ivan K. Hall - San Diego CA
John Gagliani - San Diego CA
Ronald K. Giesy - Katy TX
Assignee:
General Dynamics Corporation, Space Systems Division - San Diego CA
International Classification:
B65H 8100
US Classification:
156169
Abstract:
A method for continuous processing/in-situ consolidation and curing of thermoset resin impregnated fiber tow into a composite product having minimal porosity and being relatively void free. The method provides for preconditioning a fiber, impregnating a continuous fiber tow with a low viscosity thermoset resin to complete saturation and then simultaneously outgassing and advancing the resin impregnated tow. The preconditioned tow is then applied to a substrate such as a heated rotating mandrel in a filament winding procedure where heat is applied to the nip of the touch-down of the tow to the mandrel with the simultaneous application of pressure for initial consolidation of the tow upon the substrate. Additional pressure and heat are applied to the tow as the mandrel is rotated to provide for advancing the stage of the resin and further consolidation of the material. The combination of the pressures and heat applied to the outer surface of the material on the mandrel produce a unitary composite product without delaminations.
