US Patent:

42839424, Aug 18, 1981

Filed:

May 25, 1979

Appl. No.:

6/042515

Inventors:

Stanley S. Fishfader - Los Angeles CA

International Classification:

G01L 500
G01L 510

US Classification:

7386265

Abstract:

A load measuring device for use with a link formed as a loop and with the link having end portions for receiving a load on the link along a first axis, including a load cell for mounting across the link and within the loop and along a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis for providing an indirect measurement of the load on the link along the first axis in accordance with the force on the load cell along the second axis, the load cell including means responsive to the force on the load cell along the second axis for producing an output signal in accordance with the force on the load cell, and indicator means responsive to the output signal from the means included in the load cell for providing an output indication representative of the load on the link along the first axis.

Abstract:

A throwing device including, a throwing gun formed by a high pressure chamber located within a low pressure chamber. A first frangible diaphragm having a predetermined breaking pressure interconnecting the two chambers. A second frangible diaphragm closing off the lower pressure chamber and having a predetermined breaking pressure lower than the breaking pressure of the first diaphragm. A barrel mounted adjacent to and extending from the second frangible diaphragm. A projectile located within the barrel. A main charge substantially located within the high pressure chamber and an ignition charge coupled to the main charge for igniting the main charge upon activation of the ignition charge. The ignition of the main charge providing for the production of rapid burning forming gas having an increasing pressure within the high pressure chamber. When the pressure reaches the predetermined breaking pressure for the first flangible diaphragm, the first diaphragm bursts to allow the high pressure gas to escape by rapidly expanding into the low pressure chamber.
