  • Patent number: 6789771
    Abstract: A holster for storing a video game controller has upward, downward, left and right projections forming a cross. A mounting bracket can be connected to either the upward or downward projection so that the holster can be suspended from or supported by the video box or held upright in a free-standing arrangement. The holsters are modular and can be stacked vertically or connected laterally using back-to-back collars to achieve an assembly to store any desired number of controllers. The distance between rods extending from the left and right projections to support a controller can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of differently structured controllers.

  • Patent number: 6089426
    Abstract: A holster supports a shotgun in an opened condition at a shooter's side. A pair of rods extend between front and rear walls. The rear wall has a tongue for mounting the holster proximate the shooter's waist. The walls are spaced to receive the pivotally connected barrel and stock portions of the shotgun therebetween so as to prevent the shotgun from sliding off the rods. The rods are spaced by a distance less than the distance between the breach sides of the forearm and the trigger guard of the shotgun in the closed condition and greater than the combined heights of the forearm and the trigger guard so that, when the barrel and stock portions are at rest on the rods, the weight of the barrel portion causes the breach side of the trigger guard to engage against the rod on which the stock portion rests so as to prevent forward rotation of the shotgun off the rods while the weight of the barrel portion prevents rearward rotation of the shogun off the rods.

  • Patent number: 5775556
    Abstract: A holster supports a shotgun at the side of a shooter above the ground in an opened condition. A seat supports the shotgun and spaced side walls extend upwardly to receive the pivotally connected barrel and stock portions of the shotgun therebetween so as to prevent the shotgun from sliding laterally off the seat. A mounting device is provided on one of the side walls for mounting the holster proximate the waist of the shooter. The seat has a front section for supporting the barrel portion of the shotgun and a rear section for supporting the stock portion of the shotgun. The front and rear sections lie in intersecting planes which extend downwardly at an obtuse angle from their line of intersection to support the barrel and stock portions of the shotgun at approximately the obtuse angle defined by the planes. A pad preferably of leather protects the surface of the shotgun from being scratched or marred by the holster.
