Patent number: 8631983Abstract: A holder and vehicle storage system are provided for securely retaining objects, such as in the glove compartments of automobiles, trucks, boats, etc. The holder may be mounted to the inside of a glove compartment door such that it is out of sight when the glove compartment door is closed. The vehicle storage system uses a conventional latch mechanism to mount the holder to the door without the need for additional fasteners. An object may be retained within the holder through the use of two undercut tabs for snap-fit reception of the object. The holder and vehicle storage system may be used to hold electronic instruments having sensitive components that would otherwise be damaged during movement of a vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2007Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: CVG Management CorporationInventor: Albert Stephen King

Patent number: 8517482Abstract: A friction controlled mechanism for use on a cabinet assembly is provided. The cabinet assembly includes a stationary structure such as a cabinet, a moveable structure such as a drawer that is moveable in relation to the stationary structure and the friction controlled mechanism. The friction controlled mechanism is attached to each side of the moveable structure. The friction controlled mechanism includes a frame member with a length and a friction based flexible member. The flexible member is wrapped around a perimeter of the frame member such that the flexible member is capable of traveling in opposite directions around the perimeter of the frame member during movement of the moveable structure toward and away from the stationary structure. The flexible member imparts a friction to side rails of both the stationary structure and the moveable structure to provide a controlled stable movement of the moveable structure.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2011Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: CVG Management CorporationInventor: Mark R.
