  • Patent number: 7668309
    Abstract: A portable electronic accessory holder for insertion into an existing vehicle cup holder includes a body having a continuous side wall that is sized to be received within the vehicle cup holder and an upper surface that coincides with at least a portion of the side wall. A pair of spaced sides extend upwardly from the upper surface to thereby define a gap therebetween. The gap is dimensioned to receive and hold a portable accessory, such as a portable phone, with the upper surface defining a support surface for the portable accessory. One or more cavities may also be located in the holder for providing multiple mounting positions for portable accessories.

  • Patent number: 7109857
    Abstract: A brake light warning system for safety helmets includes a transmitter module adapted for mounting to a vehicle, such as a motorcycle, and a receiver module adapted for mounting to a safety helmet. The transmitter module is configured to continuously transmit a transmission signal when a brake of the vehicle is disengaged and discontinue transmission of the transmission signal when a brake of the vehicle is engaged. The receiver module is configured to detect a presence or absence of the transmission signal from the transmitter module. The receiver module has at least one light generating element that illuminates or increases in brightness upon detection of the absence of the transmission signal to indicate that the vehicle brake is engaged.

  • Publication number: 20050229300
    Abstract: A spraying device having a spray head fluidly connected to a hose terminating in a threaded end. The hose end is connected to a T-shaped fitting threadably connected at one end to the water tank of a toilet system and at the other end to the water inlet leading into the water tank. The T-shaped fitting has another end fluidly coupled to the hose end. An on-off valve may be interposed between the T-shaped fitting and the hose end. In either case, the T-shaped fitting and spray hose may be coupled to a preexisting toilet system without need for turning off the water supply thereto and the spray head may be used to clean a bed pan, a toilet bowl, diapers, or the like.
