Abstract: A display screen mount for mounting a display screen to a vehicle dashboard having a generally planar portion, the generally planar portion having attachment features for receiving a display screen on a first side, the display screen mount further including at least one mounting arm projecting away from the generally planar portion on a second side of the generally planar portion.

Abstract: An appliance with a main body portion and a pivot that allows the appliance to be pivotally mounted to a support structure so that it may be in a retracted position or a non-retracted position; said appliance having a handle portion with a first bolt recess located within said handle; and further comprising a lock body that in use is also attached to said support structure and that houses a first bolt that operably engages a first channel within said lock body; means of moving said bolt from a first position in which it is retracted within said body to a second extended position where it may engage said bolt recess and thereby lock the appliance in a retracted position against said support structure.

Abstract: A method of producing a support article for part of the human body, in particular the back, comprises the steps of obtaining an array of electronically encoded points defined in 3D corresponding to points on a surface of the body part utilizing a non-contact 3D digitiser. The array of points are converted into data readable by a computer aided manufacturing device. The data is adjusted to alter the surface prior to forming the article. The support article is formed incorporating the surface from the adjusted data using the computer aided manufacturing device.

Abstract: A computer dock having a device for protecting a portable computer against damage during vertical or inclined insertion within the computer dock. The computer dock includes an abutment member, slidably mounted on a rail, and biased to an upper position when the dock is not in use; the abutment member moving downwardly as a result of abutment against a portable computer during insertion, and at the same time exerting an upward force that at least in part counteracts the downward force of gravity acting on the portable computer.

Abstract: A computer docking apparatus for use with a portable computer, particularly in vehicles, having a cradle member suitable for receiving a portable computer and a closure member, and electrical connector assembly that operably makes power and/or data transfer connections to the computer, the connector assembly being attached to the closure member the position of which may be changed such that the computer may be inserted into or removed from the cradle when the closure member is in a first position and moving the closure member from this first position to a second position causes the electrical connector assembly to engage the computer to allow power and/or data-transfer connections between the docking apparatus and the computer.
