Abstract: A mount for a personal electronic device has a first support plate that pivots relative to a plane of a base and a second support plate that stays in the same plane as the base. Detenting structure detents the first support plate to each of an open configuration, in which the device may be removed in a rearward direction, and a closed configuration, in which the device may not be so removed. The detenting structure may comprise mating convex and concave camming surfaces.

Abstract: An injection molded stair nosing has a tread member, a front portion of which is downwardly and backwardly canted from the horizontal by about 5 to about 7 degrees. The front portion is supported by a plurality of spaced apart support ribs underneath the front portion. Each support rib may have a front concave surface to fit to a curved transition of a stair tread to a stair riser or nose. A back portion of the tread member is tapered to mitigate any interference with the foot or shoe of a user.

Abstract: A vehicle cargo area liner, such as a pickup truck bed liner, is affixed to a vehicle wall using a pin-and-socket affixation device. The rounded free end of the pin permits an upstanding panel of the liner to have a substantial draft with respect to the vehicle wall. Use of one, two or more of the affixation devices prevents separation of the liner from the pickup truck bed in windy conditions.

Abstract: A downwardly facing first bushing surface is formed on a lower end of a cylindrical receiver surface of a hanger body. A barb formed on the end of a shank of a hook portion has an upwardly facing second bushing surface. The second bushing surface supports the hanger body through the first bushing surface. The first bushing surface is rotationally slidable on the second bushing surface, permitting the hanger body, and an article suspended by it, to assume any of a number of angular positions relative to a display bar axis.

Abstract: A protector integrally molded of a thermoplastic elastomer has a seat panel and a back panel. In use the seat panel conforms to a vehicle seat pan and the back panel conforms to a vehicle seat back. The back and seat panels are adapted to receive a child car seat thereon. Strap holes near the upper margin of the back panel may receive a strap for securing the upper margin of the back panel to the vehicle seat. A hinge panel joining the seat panel to the back panel may have one or more parallel grooves to create subpanels of the hinge panel, each of which may be at an angle to the others. The hinge panel may have a reduced width to permit access to child car seat anchors in the vehicle seat.

Abstract: A floor mat has a base formed of an elastomer. A fibrous layer insert has a peripheral margin protected by a peripheral wall and an inwardly extending overhang of the base. A flange of the base surrounds and downwardly extends from the peripheral wall and ends at a floor plane. Spaced-apart flange support ribs downwardly extend from a lower surface of the flange to the floor plane.

Abstract: A windshield mount for a personal electronic device has a first support plate that pivots relative to a base and a second support plate that stays in the same plane but slides to fit the width of the device. Using one hand, the user pinches opposed finger tabs to snap the mount to an open configuration. To install the device in the mount after it has been affixed to a vehicle windshield, the user need use only one hand to press the back of the device against the pivoting support plate, snapping the mount back to a closed configuration.

Abstract: A dish drying mat has elongate spaced-apart ribs upwardly extending from a general upper surface, and spaced-apart dimples downwardly extending from a general lower surface. The lateral locations of the ribs and the dimples do not intersect. A lower portion of a marginal wall has at least one gap so as to communicate a continuous lower volume below the general lower surface to the atmosphere beyond the peripheral margin of the mat. At rounded corners, the peripheral wall has inwardly concave surfaces which are sized to fit to a thumb or finger of a user's hand when grasping or cleaning the mat.

Abstract: A seat cushion is integrally formed of a foamed elastomer. A hand cavity, by which the cushion may be carried, is positioned underneath a ridge of the cushion body. A flexible hanger strap may be threaded through a strap hole that extends from a ceiling of the hand cavity to the upper surface.

Abstract: A vehicle roof basket is formed from a network of intersecting longitudinal and transverse beams molded of a polymer. Modular corner portions of the roof basket are assembled by joining together male and female free ends of the beam portions, which may take the form of downward facing channels. A key with a tenon fits to a mortise in the male free end to make each male/female connection. Additional expansion portions may be used with the corner portions to create a roof basket that is longer, wider, or both. Cross bar mounting members affix the roof basket corner portions to cross bars that in turn are mounted to roof rack rails of the vehicle. Upper components of the cross bar mounting members are integrally molded with bodies of the roof basket corner portions, or alternatively may be formed by variable position clamp sleds.

Abstract: An injection-molded cargo liner has a floor panel, at least one seat back panel and first and second pleats joining the floor panel to the seat back panel. Living hinges between adjacent ones of the panels and pleats are made by reducing thickness. A surface of each hinge is concave in the direction of folding. The pleats allow the seat back panel to travel with the seat back, as the seat back is moved forward and down. In this way, the cargo liner provides a continuous barrier against dirt and water.

Abstract: A sloping upper surface of a dish mat is supported by nonrectangular support ribs, whose depth decreases as a function of distance from the back of the dish mat body. Angled ribs in a left portion and in a right portion of the upper surface direct fluid to a central channel, which in turn directs the fluid to a spillway. The spillway forwardly and downwardly extends into a sink at which the dish mat has been positioned.

Abstract: A dish drying mat has elongate spaced-apart ribs upwardly extending from a general upper surface, and spaced-apart dimples downwardly extending from a general lower surface. The lateral locations of the ribs and the dimples do not intersect.

At rounded corners, the peripheral wall has inwardly concave surfaces which are sized to fit to a thumb or finger of a user's hand when grasping or cleaning the mat.

Abstract: A wall protector molded from an elastomer has a front panel and ribs extending rearwardly from the front panel. Most of the rear edges of the ribs are forwardly displaced from a back plane of the body, thereby accommodating some rearward displacement of the front panel when impacted by a moving object such as a vehicle door. The wall protector may be removably affixed to a structure, such as a garage wall, by ball-and-socket fasteners.

Abstract: A truck bed liner is integrally molded of a thermoplastic material. Arrays of spaced-apart, endless cushioning elements downwardly depend from the bottom surface of the liner body. Notches are made in the bottom margins of the cushioning elements to permit fluid ingress to and egress from the cushioning element interiors. In one embodiment, the depth of the elements is uniform, and the top surface of the bed liner emulates the rib pattern of the truck bed. In another embodiment, the depth of the elements varies, such that a rib pattern on the top surface of the liner body can be different from the truck bed rib pattern.
