  • Patent number: 11354954
    Abstract: A concealed carry weapon (CCW) container offers a user a fail-secure locking mechanism to ensure that the CCW stays locked at all times even when there is no power. The CCW container enables the user to quickly and automatically unlock when the user utilizes the biometric recognition system, a pass code, or an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag. The CCW container employs interior and exterior lighting, quick access magnetic closure with or without a locking mechanism attached, and a ballistic armor plate to protect the user's vital body parts using the ballistic armor plat as a shield. Further, a method for managing the fail-secure locking mechanism allows the user to efficiently access the CCW content using a mobile app, the RFID tag, or any other biometric technology. Additionally, the method provides a panic switch that alerts security authorities of an incident and forwarding any salient video or sound thereto.

  • Patent number: 11065736
    Abstract: Plumbers are often required to carry out various tasks on water pipes including measuring, cutting, bending, threading, joining, soldering and marking positions on pipes. Each of these activities requires the pipe to be held securely by the plumber (for instance in one hand, or under one foot, while the task itself is carried out using the free hand(s). The present invention is a tote tray provided with a clamp 15 connected to the open-top box, the clamp configured for releasably gripping a pipe 17. In this way, a plumber may place a pipe 17 within the clamp 15 and securely grip it therein, and may then carry out various types of work on the pipe 17 without the need to hold the pipe 17 manually in position. Once work on the pipe 17 has been completed, the user may release the clamp's grip on the pipe 17.

  • Patent number: 8726704
    Abstract: A shelf device comprises an enclosed frame that includes a plurality of members, a concealed compartment within the frame, and a locking system that includes a locking mechanism comprising a slide bolt and magnetic lift positioned perpendicularly within the slide bolt, a ledge that is engaged with the slide bolt when the locking system is locked, and a magnet. The magnetic lift moves in one direction to cause the slide bolt to move perpendicularly to the magnetic lift's direction as the slide bolt disengages or engages with the ledge to unlock or lock the shelf, respectively. In one embodiment, a rare earth magnet is aligned with the magnetic lift to pull the magnetic lift vertically upward causing the slide bolt to move horizontally backward to disengage the slide bolt from the ledge. Consequently, the shelf is opened as one or more frame members are released to expose the concealed compartment.
