Abstract: A book holder includes a tray for holding a book, a ball joint and swivel assembly connected between the back of the tray and one end of a gooseneck, and a C-clamp connected to the other end of gooseneck, whereby the book holder can be attached to an arm of indoor and outdoor furniture with the tray being rotatable in the plane of its front face over 360° to a desired position, rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the gooseneck to a desired position, and the gooseneck bent to further position the tray, thereby permitting a user to be sitting or prone with a book positioned on the tray in a desired reading position, or permitting the book holder to be moved while still attached to the furniture, to a non-use position out of the way of a user.

Abstract: The present invention is a firearm system with a personal safety interlock mechanism which permits only selective personnel to fire a specific firearm. It includes a firearm having a firing mechanism with trigger, and a handle area, a decoding locking mechanism, an engagement assembly and handwear. The decoding/locking mechanism is mounted at the handle area. It has a plurality of recesses with receiving tabs, for transfer of a correct key code to a locking assembly; which is functionally connected to the receiving tabs and to a disabling mechanism. The disabling mechanism has a lock position and an unlock position, and is biased in the lock position for the disengagement of the firing mechanism of the firearm. It is movable to its unlock position by insertion of an engagement assembly with an encoding key located on the handwear and having the correct key code, into the recesses. The handwear may be worn on a trigger hand of selective personnel.
