A locking pin is removed from the stationary slide member and two retainer pins are inserted from the sides into the new slide member to facilitate spring action. This structure functions in the same manner as the recoil reduction structure illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 5,722,195. A replacement sleeve has a rib member extending downwardly from its bottom surface. Replacement sleeve and extension spring are assembled in a tubular member to form a second recoil reduction assembly. This recoil reduction structure functions in the same manner as the structure illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 6,732,466.12-10-2009

The forearm stock main body has a forward end, a back end, a contour, and an upper cavity for receiving a shotgun's tube magazine. The shot shell carrier tube is disposed below the upper cavity, and is adapted to receive a plurality of shot shells, with an opening toward the back end. A mechanism for urging the shot shells out of the carrier tube through the opening is provided, and a retention mechanism is adapted to selectively retain the shot shells in the carrier tube. The removable cover has a contour that substantially complements a contour of the main body.09-22-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100217533Identifying a Type of Motion of an Object - A method of identifying a type of motion of an animate or inanimate object is disclosed. The method includes generating an acceleration signature based on the sensed acceleration of the object. The acceleration signature is matched with at least one of a plurality of stored acceleration signatures, wherein each stored acceleration signatures corresponds with type of motion. The type of motion of the object is identified based on the statistical matching or exact matching of the acceleration signature.08-26-2010
