The strap may also include an adjustment means in the form of a locking ring attached to the main strap.

Abstract: An elongated tube that is open at one end and tapers to a closed end has an elongated stiffener or spine fastened inside the tube. The stiffener is sufficiently wide to maintain the normally flat tube in an open position and to provide anchor means for straps used to provide attachments of the scabbard to other equipment. A short, flexible sleeve is attached to the open end of the elongated tube, and a drawstring is threaded into the outer end of the flexible sleeve for closing it.

Abstract: A rack for securely holding a shotgun in the front passenger compartment of a police car or other vehicle is disclosed in which the shotgun, when installed in the rack, is in a generally horizontal position with its barrel pointing forwardly and downwardly and with the stock of the gun overlying the front seat of the car, and in which the shotgun is positively locked in the rack which in turn is firmly secured to the floor of the police car. The rack includes a sturdy welded frame which has a selectively operable gun lock thereon for receiving and positively holding the middle portion of the shotgun (e.g., the receiver) and a muzzle plate in front of the end of the muzzle of the shotgun when the latter is installed in the rack.

Abstract: A sling for carrying a shoulder operated gun, such as a rifle or shotgun, consists of a strap which may be attached to the rear swivel of a gun, then passed through the front swivel and over one shoulder, then diagonally downwardly across the chest to be attached to a belt at the other side of the body.

Abstract: A rack primarily adapted for connection to the inside curved wall of a van for carrying skis and the like. The rack includes a pair of brackets permanently connectable to the wall of the van and being sufficiently flexible to be curved to follow the contour thereof. A plurality of cradle members are connectable to the brackets, each cradle member being designed to lock to the adjacent vertically-spaced cradle members for added strength and support and to dampen vibrations. The cradle members are made from a flexible material to allow for slight adjustments in spacing therebetween as the brackets curve. The cradle members support the skis with an angular orientation to allow the bindings to overlap and also to hold the skis away from the wall of the van to keep the bindings and tips from striking the van wall.

Abstract: An accessory for trucks, such as pickup trucks, for the storage of miscellaneous items, rifles or shotguns comprising a flexible panel supported upon the vehicle only at its upper edge including a plurality of upper vertically oriented pockets and a horizontally disposed elongated long gun receiving pocket adjacent the panel lower edge. The mounting of the panel at only the upper edge permits the lower portion to be flexed and positioned as desired to provide access to the gun storage pocket, and a closure within the firearm storage pocket access opening seals the opening to comply with the firearm transport regulations.

Abstract: A housing or case for rifles or similar weapons which have integral carrying straps attached thereto is disclosed. The housing extends at least to the point where the lower strap section is attached to the weapon and is open to receive the weapon and is closed by a zipper. A lined sleeve adjacent the holster portion of the housing is integrally connected to the housing and is open at both ends in order to receive the upper strap section in a secure relationship. The housing can extend over the butt of the weapon and may include at least one additional side pocket therein.

Abstract: A quick release sling for fast shouldering and firing of shoulder-held small arms, having an adjustable size loop of a strap, which loop may be passed over the shoulder and torso of a user for weapon carrying across the user's chest with the adjustable loop is attached to a D-ring on the weapon's butt. A short strap is attached to the weapon's forearm, and a short strap is rapidly releasably secured to the loop, so that upon releasing the forearm strap from the adjustable strap, the weapon's barrel is free for shouldering the weapon for use. As a safety feature, the sling, also, includes a locking device to releasably secure the short forearm strap to the adjustable size loop, thus preventing accidental release of the weapon's barrel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rack for a vehicle. The rack comprises a seat for holding goods or a person and side walls for containing the goods or the person on the seat. Carriers for a gun or the like are connected to the side walls. A device is also connected to the side walls for allowing the person to rest his or her leg thereon and also for guarding rear tires of the vehicle from having mud and the like splashed thereon. The rack is mounted to and, preferably, used in combination with an all-terrain type of vehicle.

Abstract: A sling device for a rifle or the like comprising first and second elongated flexible straps each having first and second ends. The first ends of the flexible straps are adjustably secured together by means of adjustment hooks. The other end of the second strap has a D-ring mounted thereon which is slidably mounted on the first strap. The second end of the first strap has a post screw extending through a U-shaped portion of the first strap. A snap lock strap is secured to the post screw and has a snap lock mounted thereon which may be detachably secured to the second end of the second strap to maintain the second strap in position relative to the first strap. With the snap lock fastened, the sling may be used in conventional fashion or may be used by separating the straps to permit the rifle to be slung diagonally across the chest of the hunter.
