Abstract: A firearm storage furnishing system may be provided comprising a substrate body having a coupling portion and a base portion that may be affixed to one another via an angled joint. The coupling portion may comprise a smaller surface area than the base portion. The coupling portion may comprise a magnetic coupling element disposed at a central area of the coupling portion. The magnetic coupling element may comprise a protective exterior coating, a support substrate, a magnet comprising an adequate orthogonal pulling force, and a central aperture disposed through the protective exterior coating, the support substrate and the magnet.

Abstract: A filter press having a plurality of stackable filter plate assemblies comprises at least one turbidity sensing module [20, 220, 320, 420] coupled to a first filter plate assembly [1] within the plurality of stackable filter plate assemblies. The turbidity sensing module [20, 220, 320, 420] is generally positioned between a filtrate drain opening [8a-d] communicating with a filter chamber [14], and either a filtrate port [7, 13] or filtrate discharge tube [4g, 15], in order to determine a level of turbidity of filtrate [50] exiting said first filter plate assembly. Turbidity levels may be determined independently of turbidity levels of filtrate [50] exiting other filter plate assemblies [1] within the filter press. When turbidity levels reach a predetermined threshold, and alarm [80] is activated, which informs an operator of the need to replace a filter cloth associated with the affected filter plate assembly [1].

Abstract: A water balloon launching cannon is disclosed. The water balloon launching cannon includes a slotted barrel for rapid and easy loading and uses compressed air as the propelling force for firing the water balloon. Namely, the water balloon launching cannon includes an I-beam support upon which is mounted an air delivery system and the slotted barrel. For ease of disassembly, (1) the air delivery system includes quick-release mechanisms and (2) a plunger assembly inside the barrel is held by an easily removable pin. Further, a method of operating and a method using the water balloon launching cannon are disclosed.

Abstract: The invention comprises a table, comprising: a) a base, the base being suitable for mounting in a vehicle, the base having a collar with one or more base pins along the interior of the collar; b) a pole, the pole being detachably coupled to the base, the pole having with one or more hockey-stick shaped slots at one end corresponding to and capable of receiving the base pins, a first lock/release mechanism for securing the pole to the base, and one or more apertures at an end opposite to the one end; and c) a table top, the table top being detachably coupled to the pillar, the top having a second lock/release mechanism for securing the top to the pillar, the second lock/release mechanism containing one or more elements which engage the one or more apertures on the pole, wherein the base, the pole and the table top combine to form the table.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and assembly for storing a paintbrush having a bristle portion and a handle portion. The bristle portion has an associated maximum width and a plurality of bristles having a plurality of ends. The invention involves (a) engaging an enclosable portion of the paintbrush including the bristle portion of the paintbrush using a first body portion; and, (b) moving a second body portion relative to the first body portion between an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the first body portion and the second body portion provide an open side for inserting and removing the enclosable portion of the paintbrush. In the closed position, the first body portion engages the second body portion to enclose the open side, to closely enclose the enclosed portion of the paintbrush, and to provide a base portion for bordering and protecting the plurality of ends to the plurality of bristles.
