Patent number: 10697727Abstract: The present invention provides for a universal holster assembly for securely storing one or more handguns. The holster assembly comprises a first and second end walls. A supporting pad is located between the first and second end walls. The first and second end walls and the supporting pad define a cradle configured for holstering a handgun. A hollow tube extends through a set of aligned openings formed in the first and second end walls and the supporting pad. A plug having a head and a body is used to secure each end of the tube. The body is inserted into an end of the tube and a head urging against an exterior surface of one of the end walls, thus securing the holster assembly. Additional cradles may be defined by adding dividing walls and additional supporting pads. Further, one or more storage compartments may also be provided.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2015Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Inventor: Stephen Mark Higgins

Patent number: 10234235Abstract: An apparatus operates as both a holster and a benchrest for a handgun. The apparatus comprises first and second end walls, and a supporting pad secured between the first and second end walls. As a holster, the first and second end walls and the supporting pad define a cradle adapted for holstering a handgun. The holster may also be flipped upside-down and then operated as a benchrest. When the assembly is operating as a benchrest, a barrel rest may be inserted into a barrel-rest receiver slot on the top-side of the assembly. The barrel rest has a U-channel adapted for supporting the barrel of a handgun. The supporting pad further provides a surface for supporting the grip of the handgun.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2015Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Inventor: Stephen Mark Higgins

Publication number: 20150313352Abstract: A buffing apparatus has a shaft assembly connectable to a drill or other stationary motorized buffer/polisher. A stator is fixedly mounted on the shaft and a rotor is rotatably mounted on the shaft, and each of the stator and rotor includes a respective hub and two or more arms extending radially from the respective hub, and each of the two or more arms defines a hole. A pad having first and second holes is mounted on the shaft with an arm of the stator extending through a first hole of the pad and an arm of the rotor extending through a second hole of the pad. The pads are secured in place with a connector extending through the hole of an arm of the stator and through a hole of an arm of the rotor so that the pads are sandwiched between the shaft assembly and the connectors.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2015Publication date: November 5, 2015Inventor: Stephen Mark Higgins

Publication number: 20130230674Abstract: An head, facial or ear cushion for mounting to a strap of a respiratory or traditional device. The head, facial or ear cushion comprises an elongate flattened body which defines an internal cavity for accommodating a strap of a respiratory or traditional device and generally has a flattened oval shape forming two elongate opposed exterior surfaces. The two opposed surfaces are generally planar and extend substantially parallel to one another so that a width of the head, facial or ear cushion is at least twice a thickness of the head, facial or ear cushion. The body is configured so as to restrict axial movement of the body along the strap, during use. In one embodiment, the body is folded into a folded configuration, about a longitudinal centerline, to define the internal cavity which at least partially encloses while in another embodiment, the body is generally oval in shape and has an exterior surface which extends completely around and encases the strap.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2011Publication date: September 5, 2013Applicant: SALTER LABSInventors: James N.
