Title: Disassembly/Reassembly Device
Post by: DavidS on May 24, 2011, 09:12:06 PM
I have patented and produced a device used in the disassembly and reassembly of the R-9. An instuctional video of how to use the device is posted on youtube.com and can be accessed by clicking the following link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58xJ9Fv0P6Y. The device sells for $20 US including shipping and handling. Payment can be made by Paypal. The website is http://sites.google.com/site/slidebloks .

Any answer on PAYPAL question???? also it looks like it is now very easy to take the barrel out without using a tool to hold the spring, did Rohrbaugh change something in the way the R9 was built??? sems you always had to push the guide rod forward hold it and then lift the barrel out..with your video I am confused???tx Gman

I don't think Rohrbaugh changed anything the spring assembly always came out easy, but was more difficult to reinstall.
  You are watching someone who has done that routine many times and has it down pat ;D
   By the looks of the grips that is an early R9 and if he had the patent five years ago he must have had the pup, Farmingdale maybe.

Has anyone ever heard back from DavidS?  We have posted questions, and i have sent him an email last week, but haven't gotten a response. He came on and made 3 total posts, two being identical announcements of his product. His profile is empty. He hasn't responded to questions about taking paypal. Has anyone received their product?

Could be a strong possibility!    ;D   He did say in his other post that it just took some time in getting around to producing it.    ;)

Post by: Joe_from_NY on May 30, 2011, 11:53:44 PM
while i am waiting to order mine, i was thinking of retracting the slide on mine to the right position, spraying the end of the gun with eezox and jamming the end of the gun into a glob of Bondo on the table that is semi-hardened. (Afterward I would clean off the end of the gun.) After the gun is removed, the glob of bondo will be a good shape that is necessary to retract the slide when hard. Any ideas on this? (Other than only an assh*&# would try it.)

Joe,

Put a piece of saran wrap or a plastic bag over the bondo first.
You could also use a piece of wood and a hand saw and drill to make your own. Cut a step in the wood and then drill holes for the barrel and recoil assembly.

That is a better idea than Eezox. Although it appears to not be necessary now, considering the imminent acceptance of  paypal.

Steve Bedair used to give instructions on how to make a disassembly/reassembly block out of two pieces (?) of pvc pipe.
But then had to pull it, due to legal reasons (maybe David S ?)

Going by pure foggy memory and conjecture.  

My apologies to both parties if facts are wrong or convuluted.

Maybe other members can chime in with better details.

hey guys, just checking some threads and I saw this one. DavidS does have a nice tool from what I saw on you tube. Just want to let everyone know that we do not license this product. I would hope that everyone would respect the time effort and financial committment that an invetor had put into the product. (think of us ,and the years we spent developing the Rohrbaugh Product line. It usually takes 5-8 years and countless dollars to develop a product)

I did read the posts regarding Steve Bedair and I would hope that he just did not know that there was a patented product already out in the market?.  

Is this not the American Ingenuity at its best that DavidS took on this project. Should he not be rewarded for that?
I would caution proliferation of information that previously was found to be in violation of an existing patent without consuling with your attorney first.  :)

Hey Doc-

Being that you are an investor in the company, you should  be pleased to know that i own two R9's. My issue is not about the $20 price of Dave's device. I think it is cool and surely worth the price. What always concerns me is the suppression of information. I believe we all benefit when information is freely available. It is funny that i can go to any number of the numerous patent sites, and see several diagrams of David's device, all clearly illustrated from several angles enabling me to make my own at home if i wanted. But i guess he took issue with anyone being able to look at Steve's idea. Dave's clearly has more style and elegance, and is a nice, polished design.
It's just that I believe we all suffer when information is suppressed.

You are part of an organization that produces a product that throws lead downrange. There are many pistols that came before yours that are patented, but do the same thing. Did they come after you to try to stop you from making a product that throws lead downrange. You make a great product. So do many of them. I am assuming your gun is patented. Will you go after guys on youtube demonstrating how to make zip-guns?

And regarding "information that previously was found to be in violation of an existing patent", only a court can find what is in violation of an existing patent, and i dont see anywhere where that occurred in Steve's case. If anyone can point us to where anything Steve demonstrated was found to be in violation by a court, i would be interested in seeing it.

Viagra and Ciallis both give the same result, and are both being sold. These two medications both coexisted under patents.

What is next, coming into my yard and telling me i cant have my barbeque grill on a  sloped hill because George Foreman has the patent for a sloped grill? That's just as absurd as telling me i cant talk about using old plumbing parts i have laying around to help me disassemble my gun. So could i use an old screwdriver instead of an old piece of PVC pipe? Does that make it different?

And the "American Ingenuity at its best" you mentioned is all about building a better mousetrap, not the only mousetrap on the planet.

Post by: Joe_from_NY on June 04, 2011, 10:18:14 PM
Forgive me for still thinking about this situation. You know, not being around this forum back then, and only reading into the history of the situation after the fact, it still seems to dishearten me how it finally resolved. I have corresponded with Steve Bedair, explaining to him that i like his lathe modification and projects pages, and I even ordered a steel guide rod from him for my Kahr P380 to replace the OEM plastic one. He seems like a great guy and was only trying to present info to help out fellow Rohrbaugh owners. What opinions, if any,  do you brothers have on this matter?

I would caution proliferation of information that previously was found to be in violation of an existing patent without consuling with your attorney first.

It would seem to me (a non attorney) that if the information itself was a in violation it would have or should have been removed from the forum and and any other place it was posted, just a simple click or the mouse.

But thats just my non attorney way of thinking.

Post by: DavidS on June 07, 2011, 09:01:52 PM
     I did not realize that my release would create so much discussion. Design and development and production took much longer than originally planned.  But as I have learned, most production companies will not deal with a  individual developer, and when they do, you are a low priority.
    This project became a passion. It was too important to be left as a patent and not be brought to the gunowner marketplace. I designed it so that ANYONE could take this gun down with ease and perform the necessary maintenance. This is a gun of last defense.  Malfunction due to neglect is not a option. The R-9 is the finest carry pistol and I felt that this was  a needed option.
    I apologize for any confusion re ordering but I wanted to release my product to this membership first and ASAP. My website with PayPal should be up next week . I will post the site and details when it is live.

David,

 I just cleaned the R9 a few minutes ago and used your handy tool. It was a breeze! I did use my Headly tool for re-installing the guide rod. My hands are too clumsy for the syringe technique. I used the cut off Q-tip trick I read on the forum for a punch. I did not want to risk scratching the pin.
 Thanks for making a great idea into a great product.

David,

I went to the link Joe posted, viewed the video, and ordered one. The way I figure it, your device, along with John's takedown tool, should prevent any more springs rocketing about my kitchen, ricocheting off the walls in search of my picture window. Thanks for a very well- devised piece of equipment.

Kindest regards,

Bill Hunter

The site is not perfect yet, but it is capable of using PayPal.

Thank you for your order.

Now it's convenient, and at that price, there's no excuse not to get one, or two- one for the bench, and one for the range bag.
Title: Barrel Cooler
Post by: Joe_from_NY on June 15, 2011, 01:48:17 AM
I was thinking of the cool use for Davis's tool at the range after shooting, but my barrel is always too hot. I was in my basement looking at my lathe, so i decided to make a barrel cooler device to use before using Davids disassembly tool.  Any of you brothers with a lathe can make one very quickly.  I had a piece of some old acrylic round stock laying around that I turned down. I bored a cup in the end slightly larger than the barrel. You would put oil in, and stick the end of the barrel in to cool off. You just have to be careful the the barrel pin does not pop out.  This lets you cool the barrel before using David's tool. This is just a use for some old scrap you might have laying around.

If anyone wants the dimensions, i will send them to you.

I was going to look into getting a patent on this barrel cooler, but i just figured, nah, y'all can just go and make one if you want.  Once you handle a cool barrel, you won't want to touch a hot one again.

The Blok works just great.  I'm going to fill mine with something and put a piece of non-skid on it so it stays put on the bench.

Great idea.

I just want to give David an unsolicited testimonial.

I mailed him a check on Friday, June 17 and received my device on Friday, June 24, exactly one week later.  It was packaged in a padded envelope with no "Postage Due" issues. ;)  This was a long distance transaction between Florida and Pennsylvania.

That's excellent service, I believe, by anyone's standards.  Thanks David!  BTW your little device is a clever, elegant solution to what was a real problem for me.  Reassembly.  So, thanks again!  :)

I have had guys tell me that they have used velcro and even screwed them to the bench, not that I advise this. As you can see in the video on a flat formica table I designed it to seat itself when  square downward pressure is applied. Thanks for the feedback . DAvidS

Are we tired yet of reading how 100 brothers say it's great. How about some comments if anyone found that it doesn't work good, (even though there probably aren't any). We get the idea already, it works great. This thread is getting a bit monotonous. It's starting to get like Fox News talking about the Tea Party.

Well since you asked...

Mine does not work that well at all.  I have to push and twist, angle the gun bend over look , press, twist .....

Heck, it's easier just to do the old manual way I always have without tools.

Sorry- hate to be the KilJoy, but you asked.

OK now, we are finally getting somewhere. finally this thread might get interesting again after all. I guess i will remain subscribed to this thread. i was going to unsubscribe due to the monotonous content of the posts. the whole dynamic of problem solving is what makes for the most interesting threads, and the universal agreement of the 100 posters up until today got old pretty fast. How many posts can you read stating "wow, great product, saves me time, works as advertised"?  Now Stormy, what other observations do you have to share regarding the tool?
Title: Re: Disassembly/Reassembly Device
Post by: Reinz on July 31, 2011, 06:36:33 AM
I haven't looked at it That closely.  I fiqure I will at some point and do some grinding or sanding here or there and that should fix it.

I haven't brought it up, because I feel that if it is a real problem, I should give David S a chance to remedy the situation rather than roast his product on a public forum.

And I am not worried.  I feel that David will make it right if I bring it to his attention - as long as I have not ground on it yet- and I guess that is why I have put it off, both ways.
Title: Re: Disassembly/Reassembly Device
Post by: DavidS on August 07, 2011, 11:50:25 PM
Reinz, The device is designed with 5/1000 of a inch override to allow adequete depth when the slide rod nut loosens. Which it can do after extended shooting.
  When using the device press it straight down at 90 degrees to the table to full depth. If you are not lined up precisely put light pressure on the pin and let the frame rise, it will line up .
   Always check the guide rod nut with reassembly. DavidS
