Conducted electrical weapon with magazine alignment mechanism
A conducted electrical weapon (CEW) patent (Publication Number: US12000678B2) has been granted, detailing a unique design for a CEW handle and magazine system. The patent claims describe a handle with a bay for receiving a magazine, featuring datum and bias springs to align and maintain tension between the magazine and bay surfaces. The magazine itself includes datum to interact with the bay, ensuring proper alignment for coupling. Additionally, bias springs within the magazine and bay create tension to facilitate alignment and secure coupling.
Furthermore, the patent details various configurations of datum, grooves, protrusions, and planar surfaces within the handle and magazine system to ensure precise alignment and secure attachment. The handle design includes mechanical interfaces on the top and bottom surfaces of the bay, providing upward and inward forces against the magazine for stability. The asymmetrical force applied by the handle via bias springs ensures a secure connection between the magazine and bay surfaces. Overall, the patent showcases a novel approach to CEW design, focusing on alignment, tension, and stability for optimal weapon functionality.
