Self-contained binocular sighting system
The disclosure includes a monopod adapted for a pack or harness. It utilizes a simple mechanism which is lightweight, self-contained and easy to set-up and take down. The user never has to access another piece of equipment, nor assemble or disassemble any parts in use. Indeed, the user can access or store binoculars while on the move. The user can also shift to other fields of view instantly, without having to turn, re-level or adjust the set-up, as would be required with a tripod. The disclosure comprises a scope bracket configured to rotatably attach to a scope mount. A telescoping arm attaches to the scope bracket in a first angle relative to the telescoping arm. A telescoping arm bracket rotatably attaches to the telescoping arm in a second angle relative to the telescoping arm. A back plate supports the telescoping arm bracket against a chest of a user.

SYSTEM COMPRISING A PORTABLE SWITCHING DEVICE FOR USE WITH A PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE
A lens and/or a view screen of an electronic device having at least one case can be cleaned by wiping the view screen with a cleaning component wherein the cleaning component is configured to selectively couple to the at least one case or some other substrate using a magnetic attractive force. The cleaning devices may have secondary applications such as securing fly fishing lures, activating or deactivating a device having a magnetic switch, or preventing sunglasses from sinking. They may also be manufactured without a cleaning component for use with the secondary applications.

Transit Case Assembly
A transit case assembly for carrying a firearm scope includes a shell, a first insert, and a second insert. The shell comprises a top piece, which is hingedly engaged to a bottom piece. An interior space defined by the shell is accessible when the top piece is hinged relative to the bottom piece. The first insert and the second insert are engaged to the top piece and the bottom piece, respectively, and substantially occupy the interior space. The first insert and the second insert comprise pre-scored foam and can be selectively plucked to create a cavity that is complimentary to at least one of a scope and an optical accessory. The at least one of the scope and the optical accessory can be inserted into the cavity and secured therein and thus be protected by the shell, the first insert, and the second insert.

BINOCULAR HARNESS SYSTEM
A binocular harness system having a pair of shoulder straps, a pair of upper torso straps, and a carrying pouch. The carrying pouch has a main body and a removable hood. The front side of the main body has a loop fastener panel that extends laterally across the front side. The hood has a front panel, a secondary panel that is configured to form a back and two sides of the hood, and an elongated pocket that extends along a rear edge and at least a portion of each side edge of the secondary panel. The elongated pocket contains a rod, and an elastomeric cord passes through a central bore in the rod, side portions of the elongated pocket, loops situated on either side of the back side of the main body, and conduits made of nylon webbing situated on or proximate to the bottom panel of the main body.

Case or Cover for Hobby Equipment
The invention relates to a cover or case for goods, in particular for use as a cover or case for hobby or sports equipment. In an embodiment, the case has an inner portion, formed of expanded polypropylene (ePP) and defining a cavity for receiving at least part of the item. The case also includes an outer layer, formed of self-reinforcing polypropylene (srPP), arranged to cover an outer surface of at least part of the inner portion. In further embodiments, the cover is formed of two or more sections that may be arranged to at least partially overlap, wherein adjusting the overlap of the at least two sections changes the dimensions of an inner cavity within the cover or case. The case may be telescoping, in order to provide adjustable dimensions for a cavity within the case.
