ARB air compressor mount

[Octavian7896]

Hey folks,

I couldn't drop the money for the mount that is available so I made my own. I have a pattern digitized and available, and I do admire that at first glance it is conceptually similar to the available mount; though it is not derivative of it. The geometry just kinda is what it is, not many ways to skin that cat. I'm considering posting it to help anyone out that has a need and a shop. Is it bad form to do so?

As long as it's not a copy of ours, you're good. Our design is patent pending so it can't resemble our design otherwise I hate to say it, you'll get sued. Sooo yeah as long as it's not a copy of ours you're good to go.

LOL just trying to help ya. Last thing I want is someone on here to get tangled up in a battle with my lawyer because of a patent infringement. So I just saved you and I a lot of money and headaches You're welcome We patent it for a reason

Well, it isn't based around yours. It wraps around the same bracket, I can't help the shape. Not worth the headache. I'm also not selling anything, I don't think a claim can be made on a crude hand drawn SVG.

It's also not going to work either btw. You're missing a key component

You patented a piece of flat plate with a couple of holes in it?

Well, kind of. It's not a flat plate with a few holes. But yes, our KR Off-Road ARB Mounting Bracket is patent pending We spend good money on the design so we spend good money to protect it.

Maybe he'll cut it in 1/2 and it'll just hold a lunch box. That I think is okay then

I hope you didn't spend too much on the design. I sketched it with a scribe on a piece of cardboard and it works great.

Longer then it took you, that's for sure. But keep in mind, when I designed it... it didn't exist so I had to come up with it in my head and make it from an idea.

That's why we patent the product, to prevent people from trying to simply duplicate it and make money on it That's why people patent things after-all. To protect their work from others trying to sell the same thing.
