  • Publication number: 20220388591
    Abstract: A pistol holder for use holding a pistol on a bicycle is provided. The pistol holder is suited to be attached to a rear bicycle post a distance beneath a seat of a bicycle. The pistol holder is attached using a removable attachment mechanism that clamps around the rear bicycle post and connects with one or more fasteners. The removable attachment mechanism is also removably attachable to a body of the pistol holder that is configured to hold the pistol. The pistol is inserted into the body of the pistol holder so that the pistol is downward facing and facing away from the underside of the bicycle seat. The pistol holder further includes a locking mechanism configured to be toggled to an open position and to a closed position. The finger release locking mechanism temporarily secures and prevents a pistol from being pulled out of the pistol holder body.

  • Patent number: 9819794
    Abstract: The system and method identify contact information for a first party. The contact information for the first party includes a plurality of communication endpoints of the first party and a plurality of communication applications for the plurality of communication endpoints of the first party. For example, the plurality of communication endpoints may be a home phone and a cell phone of the first party. The plurality of communication applications may be voice, video, text, and/or virtual reality applications of the first party. An electronic communication request is received from the first party to the second party. In response to receiving the electronic communication request from the first party to the second party, a first communication endpoint of the plurality of communication endpoints for the first party and a first communication application of the plurality of communication applications of the first party is selected based on a rule.

  • Patent number: 9238902
    Abstract: A system for providing suspension to a cab of an excavation machine such as a trencher or a surface mining machine. The system includes air cushions and elastomeric dampeners positioned between a platform and the cab. The air cushions allow for a larger displacement than the elastomeric dampeners. The air cushions have a lower natural frequency than the elastomeric dampeners. The elastomeric dampeners stabilize and support the cab in various degrees of freedom that are not supported by the air cushions.
