Abstract: A locking gun storage container with a main box, a biased lid mounted on one end of the main box, and a lock mechanism that selectively locks the lid in a closed position. Inside the interior cavity of the main box is a holster with an interior pocket configured to hold a handgun. The holster includes an upper edge attached to a first hinge assembly mounted to the inside surface of the lid and a lower edge attached to a second hinge assembly attached to the inside surface of the main box. The two hinge assemblies are configured to hold and support the holster when holding a handgun upright over the interior cavity of the main box when the lid is opened and then repositioned the holster inside the interior cavity when the lid is closed. Mounted on the main box a coupler that selectively attaches to an external mount.

Abstract: A locking gun storage container that includes a main box, an upward biased lid pivotally mounted on one end of the main box, and a lock mechanism that allows the user to lock the lid in a closed position over the main box. Mounted inside the interior cavity of the main box is a holster with an interior pocket configured to hold a hand gun. The holster includes a front edge attached to a first hinge mounted to the inside surface of the lid and a rear edge attached to a second hinge assembly attached to the inside surface of the main box. The two hinge assemblies are configured to hold the holster vertically upright inside the interior cavity when the lid is opened and then repositioned to hold the holster horizontally inside the interior cavity when the lid is closed. Mounted on the bottom surface of the main box is a coupler that selectively attaches to a mount attached to a mounting surface enabling the enclosure to be selectively attached or detached to the mounting surface.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a device for orienting a drilling auger disposed on and powered by a vehicle defined by a lower frame member carried by the vehicle, an upper frame member pivoted to the lower frame member for rotation about an axis, and an auger supporting framework pivoted to the upper framework for rotation about a second axis orthogonal to the first axis in which the rotation is controlled by hydraulic cylinders extending between the lower and upper frame members, and between the upper frame member and the auger supporting framework, respectively. The auger itself is driven by a power take-off on the vehicle in a preferred form which in conjunction with the preceeding structure allows the auger to address the earth in which the hole is to be drilled in substantially any angle above the surface of the earth.

Abstract: An earth auger having an integral or one piece cutting blade and pilot element so arranged that the pilot element is spaced downwardly from the shaft of the auger; the cutting blade also having a curved edge swept back from the axis of the auger to provide a slicing action as well as "threading" action to facilitate penetration of the auger into the ground.
