  • Patent number: 11971236
    Abstract: A bracket mountable on a door hinge for supporting a gun holder behind an open door. The bracket includes a docking station and an adapter. The docking station mounts to the hinge. The adapter attaches to any gun holder, such as a holster. The gun is stowed in the gun holder on the docking station until needed. When needed, the gun is withdrawn from the mounted holster. Or, the holstered gun with the adapter attached can be lifted out of the docking station to carry or relocate it. Alternately, the gun holder may be a magnet with or without a magnetically transparent holster. The magnet stays attached to the adapter, which is left in the docking station. The gun—holstered or unholstered—adheres magnetically to the bracketed magnet. When needed, the gun is pulled off the magnet and returned to a carry position.

  • Patent number: 7246730
    Abstract: A moisture resistant rustproof smart hanger system provides a set of plastic spindles or thumb wheels permanently attached to a hanger. The spindles are designed to record, for a particular garment, the last cleaned date, the number of times worn, and the last worn date. A user sets the “Last Cleaned” date when a garment or apparel is first placed on the smart hanger; the “Times Worn” indicator is set to 01. The user updates the dates on the “Times Worn” and “Last Worn” record indicators each time the garment or apparel is worn. Each of the thumb wheels is locked by friction or a spring loaded bar that engages teeth on the thumb wheels to prevent accidental rotation.

  • Patent number: 5173588
    Abstract: Food consumption monitor comprising a simple mechanical calculator integrated into a diet guidebook. The calculator includes a manually operable rotary dial with a scale pointer on it, a base for the dial, a means for rotatably mounting the dial to the base, a finger stop attached to the base near the dial, and a set of numerals which are printed in consecutive order on the base near the dial and which are equidistant from the dial's rotary axis. The dial has a set of finger holes or dimples which are equidistant from the dial's rotary axis. The dial's scale pointer is a visually distinctive feature on the dial, such as an annular rim around one of the holes, which rotates with the dial in close proximity to the set of numerals. The base includes a molded plastic casing which partially encloses the dial. This casing includes an axle, a stationary hub, and a support arm for rigidly coupling the hub to a wall of the casing, wherein these three components are the means for rotatably mounting the dial.
