Abstract: A durable and portable gun support that is particularly well adapted for use in a hunting blind or stand. The gun support provides a gun rest and support brace that may be hooked over a wall or the bottom of a window opening to give the operator a flat top surface on which to rest a gun. The flat top surface may be adjusted to orient the gun laying on the gun rest toward the expected field of view for firing. This generally correct orientation allows the operator to more quietly, quickly, and accurately aim and fire the gun. The gun support also provides a camera mount that allows the operator to conveniently secure a camera to record activities occurring within the field of view. The gun support may also be employed in two alternate positions to provide convenience of operation and stability during firing for the operator of a two-handed gun. In a first alternate position, the gun support can be oriented with its flat surface generally vertical to support a gun being held in a kneeling position.

Abstract: A viewing stand for an electronic device is composed of a mounting plate, a base, a selection arm, and a pivot pin. The base is pivotally connected to the mounting plate by the pivot pin. The selection arm is rotatably coupled to the base. A viewing position can be selected by rotating the base to a desired position. A desired position can correspond to an upright position, whereby the electronic device can be viewed horizontally, or to a gently sloping position, whereby the electronic device can be viewed from above. Once the base is in the desired position, the selection arm can be inserted into a corresponding positioning receptacle located on the mounting plate. Multiple positioning receptacles permit multiple viewing positions, thus enhancing the viewing options for the user of the electronic device. When no longer needed, the viewing stand folds flat against the electronic device to maintain a narrow profile.

Abstract: A bottle suspension apparatus secured to the handle of a baby car seat for suspending a bottle in a suitable position adjacent to the baby's mouth to enable the baby to drink from the bottle without the need for a person to continuously hold the bottle and which maintains the bottle in a tilted position to direct the fluid in the bottle into the nipple and thereby minimize the amount of air taken in by the baby. The bottle suspension apparatus provides sufficient tension to maintain the bottle's nipple in the baby's mouth even if the baby makes slight movements but is sufficiently flexible to allow the baby to remove or displace the nipple from the baby's mouth when the baby is done drinking and/or when the baby is choking or gagging.
