  • Patent number: 6106085
    Abstract: An organizer for an automobile glove compartment includes a support surface supported by one or more support members. The support surface is coated with flocked finish to prevent the items resting on it from sliding. The support surface has cut-out regions on its front edge so that the items resting on it will protrude and drivers can easily retrieve such items. The support members also act as compartment separators. The back edge of the organizer may extend so that it is flush with the back wall of the glove compartment and the items resting on the support surface will not fall off the supporting surface.

  • Patent number: 6099093
    Abstract: A computer desk for use by one or two users. The desk integrates a monitor platform above the desktop and a keyboard tray system below the desk surface which are connected to a vertical pivot for coordinated rotation to maintain relative alignment of the monitor and keyboard over a wide angular displacement. The desk eliminates the need to manually realign hardware components when sharing use of a computer, thereby reducing wear and risk of unintentional disconnection of cables, while maintaining a maximal amount of desktop working space and allowing ergonomically and aesthetically favorable suspension of the keyboard below the desktop of the desk.
