Abstract: A readily transportable desk structure is provided for positioning upon a vehicular seat of the bench type. The desk structure preferably takes the form of an tub-like body having a compartment housing transceiver means and a plate-like top covering the compartment with a cover providing access to the compartment. Various means are disclosed for preventing excessive verticle and horizontal movement of the desk stucture during vehicular travel utilizing the vehicle seat belt, the center armrest, the seat cushion and the seat back. A power outlet is provided for utilizing electrically powered accessories with the desk stucture.

Abstract: A desk structure for use in association with vehicles, exemplified by an automobile, which is so constructed as to be positioned in substitution for the conventional swingable arm rest, or to be seated in a cavity formed in the typical arm rest or console. Means are provided for adjustably pivoting the desk structure into various positions, and for locking or securing the desk in the position selected. Cavities are provided in the desk structure for receiving a variety of accessories, exemplified by personal communication means such as a cellular telephone, telecopier, pager, computer, and the like. In accordance with the invention, the cavities and accessories are so positioned with respect to the vehicle driver as to permit their use without interference with or distraction from safe operation of the vehicle.

Abstract: A desk system for use in a van type vehicle includes a pedestal having a floor engaging base and an upper mounting surface for releasably retaining a portable desk structure. The pedestal has a pair of fingers for contacting a front corner of each of a pair of spaced apart seat risers, a pair of adjusting screws for contacting sides of each of the seat risers and a pair of clamps for contacting a rear corner of each of the seat risers. An upwardly extending wall formed about a periphery of the upper mounting surface, a pair of depressions are formed in a lower surface of the portable desk structure and a pair of posts are formed in the upper mounting surface to retain the portable desk structure on the pedestal. The pedestal can have storage compartments formed therein.

Abstract: A desk structure is provided for adjustable positioning upon vehicular consoles of variable contours and dimensions in tight gripping relation therewith, and yet readily removable to transfer to a different environment providing generally similar support therefor. A pair of precisely contoured leg members support a cavitated table top member, the leg members being formed of a substantially rigid transparent thermoplastic material and each having a rearwardly facing curvilinear surface providing ease of access by the vehicle operator or driver to control mechanisms on the console. Structure is provided on the leg members for lateral adjustment thereof to accommodate consoles of varying dimensions.

Abstract: A desk structure is provided which is readily adaptable for removable positioning within a vehicle interior, preferably upon the front arm rest thereof. The desk structure disclosed includes a supporting base framework which may be sized for seating upon a variety of arm rest configurations, and mounted upon the base framework is a table top member having conveniently disposed cavities formed therein imparting to the desk structure multifunctionality while the vehicle is in motion and also at rest. Illustratively, the cavities may receive a writing pad, writing implements, miscellaneous loose items, and electronic equipment exemplified by a mobile telephone on a dictation machine. Objects within the cavities are readily accessible to the driver without distraction from normal vehicle operation.

Abstract: A coaster for supporting beverage cans that is also operative to open both tab topped beverage cans and twist-off cap bottles. The coaster is a square body with parallel top and bottom surfaces and relatively short sides that are normal to both the top and bottom surfaces. A circular depression, whose surface serves to support beverage cans, is formed on the top surface. A circular dome is formed on the central portion of the depression's surface. The coaster also includes a slot, for opening tab topped beverage cans, formed on the corner of one of its sides. The coaster also includes a circular depression, having a circle or radially inwardly extending projections on its inner wall, centrally formed on its bottom surface. This depression serves to remove twist-off bottle caps from beverage bottles.
