  • Patent number: 10794656
    Abstract: A gun transport system is described for safely and securely transporting guns in a bed of a utility vehicle. The gun transport system comprises a support frame that mounts to the sidewalls of the vehicle bed and two or more gun cases that can be releaseably secured to the support frame. The support frame includes two frame sections that are pivotally connected at one end to a sidewall of the vehicle bed and pivotally connected to one another at the opposite end. The three-point pivot arrangement enables the support frame to fit vehicle beds of varying width. The support frame supports the gun cases at an angled position so that the gun cases are easily accessible from the sides of the vehicle and the front end of the gun case pointing upwardly.

  • Publication number: 20110108428
    Abstract: A method for manufacture of a substantially flat rigid measurement tool of the type formed of a substantially non-ferrous lightweight anodized metal plate with measurement markings thereon. The inventive method includes the steps of anodizing the metal plate to create a dark anodized layer, forming the flat rigid measurement tool from the anodized metal plate, and creating non-removable substantially white measurement markings by oxidizing selected mark-areas of the dark anodized surface to a depth below the anodized layer. The markings are created by application of a laser energy. The metal plate contains aluminum and the non-removable substantially white markings are formed by oxidized aluminum.
