The blade converts between an extended position when the device is disconnected from the firearm to a stored position when the device is connected the rail. The blade remains oriented along the longitudinal axis of the grip body when it is in both the stored position and the extended position. The grip body remains operatively connected to the blade when the device is disconnected from the firearm and the blade is in the extended position.

  • Publication number: 20140325888
    Abstract: Frames for displaying 3D and/or user-selected pieces of artwork and related methods. Some frames comprise frame and rail engagement portions. The frame portions display the artwork and further comprise bodies defining curvilinear cross-sections and display areas on exterior surfaces of the bodies. The rail-engagement portions can couple to the frame portions and further comprise ridges. The ridges extend away from interior surfaces of the frame bodies and can be adapted to engage rails. Flats adjacent to the rails can facilitate securing the frames to the rails. Moreover, display areas of the current embodiment define the artwork. The bodies and rail engagement portions can withstand various shocks at the rails. Moreover, the bodies can be hand guards for weapons. Furthermore, the rail engagement portions can define apertures which receive weapons tools. Moreover, the frame portions can define stops which engage slots associated with the rails. If desired, engravings define the artwork.

  • Publication number: 20140159404
    Abstract: Grip aid devices, and processes of making and using same, are provided. The devices may be sized and shaped such that the devices stretch to fit and take the shape of a standard steering wheel or any steering wheel to which the aid device is being applied. Preferably, the devices are made of a sturdy silicone or rubber to achieve the desired results of preventing the device from slipping off of the steering wheel, of avoiding a cold or hot touch of the steering wheel (i.e., the device is resistant to temperature change(s) or extreme(s)), and of providing a compact, flexible, and versatile device for application to a steering wheel of any type of vehicle. The devices may be used to add a grip to any desired object.
