  • Patent number: 11930914
    Abstract: A uniform beverage-container, or cylindrical-object, holder, having flexible arms and a clip. The body is a substantially truncated cylinder with a partially cut front area forming arms, into which a bottle may be placed. An anchoring member in the rear part of the bottle holder serves as a clip for attaching the bottle, or cylindrical object, holder to clothing or baggage. A lip is formed about the anchoring member preventing surface-to-surface contact between the anchoring member and the user's body. The bottom of the holder has a laterally positioned base. The base and arms flex, allowing a container or cylindrical object, to be removed in a motion that is directed downward and outward away from the clip. This allows a container to be removed without releasing the clip from what it is attached to.

    Abstract: A system for mounting an object within a vehicle. The system has a housing, a pair of rotatable objects at least partially received within a respective opposed end of the housing, a pair of locking elements within the housing and movable between a locked position in which they exert a locking force against a respective rotatable object, and an unlocked position in which the locking element does not exert the locking force against the respective rotatable object. A handle extends from the housing and is coupled to the locking elements through a rigid linkage within the housing. The handle is pivotable between an extended position in which the handle moves the pair of locking elements via the rigid linkage to the unlocked position and a locked position in which the handle moves the pair of locking elements via the rigid linkage to the locked position.
