Abstract: A method for decorating one side of a mesh material comprising the steps of providing a printing screen, positioning the printing screen adjacent the mesh materials, and applying a coloring medium on the areas of the mesh which are exposed through the printing screen. The step of applying coloring medium comprises spraying the coloring medium, such as paint or ink, on the areas of the mesh materials which are exposed through the printing screen. The step of applying the coloring medium is repeated for each different color coloring medium. By this method, paint or ink is sprayed or otherwise forced through the printing screen and onto the mesh material in such a way that only the exposed, facing surface of the fiber of the mesh material receives an application of coloring medium creating a sharp, detailed design on only one side of the mesh material.

Abstract: A firearm locking device and alarm that incorporates a universal, self-conforming trigger lock which prevents access to the trigger and unauthorized operation of the firearm and deters unauthorized movement. The device comprises a clamp section and an alarm section which houses a motion sensor for detection of movement of the firearm and for generation of an alarm activating signal. An internal microcomputer is provided to receive the alarm activating signal from the motion sensor. The microcomputer will permit sufficient time for the locking device and alarm to be unlocked or disabled. If the unit is not unlocked or disabled following movement of the firearm an audible alarm is activated. A key-actuated switch is provided to enable or disable the firearm locking device and alarm.
