Abstract: Proposed is a belt-wearable support for hands-free use of a handheld electronic device such as a smartphone. The support is made in the form of a case the back side of which is secured to a belt on the body of the user and the front side it tiltable forward due to bellows-like lateral sides. The interior space of the case is sufficient to contain a smartphone secured on the innermost member of the telescopically extendable mechanism formed by a group of C-shaped members slidingly fitted into each other. For positioning the smartphone at a required distance from the eyes of the user, which may view the information on the screen of the phone in a hands-free manner, the case is opened, the telescopic mechanism is extended to a required length, tilted to a required angle by an adjustable linkage mechanism, and is fixed in the selected position by a locking device.

Abstract: The vehicle cover of the invention consists of three pivotally interconnected cassettes with rolls of a flexible protective cover material stored in each of the cassettes and unwoundable therefrom through a slit in the side of the cassette, similar to a photo film that can be pulled out from a film cassette. In a folded state the cassettes are arranged side by side parallel to each other. Each cassette consists of two parallel sections with the flexible material in each section wound in mutually opposite directions so that the protective flexible materials of each section can be pulled out in mutually opposite directions. The first and third cassettes are pivotally connected to the second, i.e., the intermediate cassette so that they can be turned by 90° with respect to the intermediate cassette. The ends of the flexible materials may be provided with hooks or other means for securing the materials to the vehicle body in a retracted position.

Abstract: An apparatus that prevents motorists from crossing railroad tracks, when the warning gates are down during approaching of a train consists, of a plurality of tire-piercing cogs which are retracted from the ground when the railroad crossing gate is closed. The cogs are arranged across the entire width of the automobile road in order to prevent a motorist from going around the closed gate through the oncoming traffic lane. The piercing cogs are interlocked with a warning visual and/or sound signal which is activated if the vehicle went onto the railroad tracks and stuck on the rails after smashing the closed road gate arm. The cog drive mechanism is located below the ground level, and when the gate is open for normal traffic through the railroad crossing, the cogs are turned into position in which their back surfaces are arranged in flush with the ground level for smooth passage of the vehicles.

Abstract: A phone holder kit comprising a box-like cradle (10, 100, 200) for accommodating a telephone set (11) and a pair of flexible headbands (12 and 14) for supporting the cradle on the user's head. Addition support is ensured by a ear mount (16) attached to the ends of headbands (12 and 14) on the side opposite to the position of the cradle. The cradle has a rubber band (30) or a padded platform (108) which supports the telephone set (11) and which can be adjusted within the cradle for adjusting the depth of location of the telephone in the cradle, depending on the dimensions of the telephone set.
