patent time

[Dragontooth]

Gentlemen,
http://www.google.com/patents?q=anti+personnel+landmine&spell=1&lr=&sa=N&start=0

since I am mainly interested in development history and production history of ordnance, the patents I have here discovered appeared interesting.

Hope you enjoy.
Should someone find patents for the M 14, 16 or BLU-97 or any other BLU or M series that was fielded, please feel free to IM me, since I have trouble recognizing the mines...for now at least. :tinysmile_twink_t:

For what it's worth, I did find the patents for the US M21 AT mine and the Canadian C3A1 "Elsie" AP mine. I went as far as page 30. I suppose that the patents for most of the other US landmines are considered "Classified Patents" and not available for public viewing. I'm not sure at what point (if ever) a Classified Patent becomes unclassified and available to the public.

The M21 AT mine:
