Solution Overview

Problem

Existing tools for rifle bolt disassembly are not easy to use and do not provide a safe and quick method for maintenance, particularly for the Remington Model 700 rifle.

Innovation Solution

A rifle bolt disassembly tool with a fulcrum having a tooth and a lever, made of durable non-corrosive metal, designed to securely engage the bolt plug and allow efficient removal by compressing the internal spring, enabling safe and efficient disassembly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If existing tools for rifle bolt disassembly are used, then the bolt plug can be removed, but the process is difficult and unsafe

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of useVSAvoidsafety

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a specialized disassembly tool as an intermediary device between the user and the bolt plug. This tool includes a fulcrum with a tooth that engages with the bolt plug, and a lever that applies mechanical advantage to safely compress the internal spring and remove the plug without direct manual manipulation of hazardous components

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If existing tools for rifle bolt disassembly are used, then the bolt plug can be removed, but the process is time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvespeed of disassemblyVSAvoidmaintenance time

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The tool is designed with a pre-configured fulcrum and lever system that, when positioned on the bolt plug, automatically provides the mechanical advantage needed to compress the spring and release the plug. This preliminary setup eliminates the need for multiple manual steps and accelerates the disassembly process

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The lever component enables dynamic mechanical advantage, allowing the user to apply force efficiently to overcome the spring resistance. The fulcrum's tooth engagement with the bolt plug creates a dynamic mechanical system that multiplies the user's input force, enabling quick removal of the plug

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of manufacture

If a simple tool design is used, then the tool is easy to manufacture, but it cannot safely compress the internal spring

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidforce application capability

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of manufactureVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The tool employs a lever mechanism that provides dynamic mechanical advantage, allowing a simple two-component design (fulcrum and lever) to generate sufficient force to compress the internal spring. The fulcrum's tooth engagement with the bolt plug creates a mechanical system that multiplies the user's input force without requiring complex structures

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics
