  • Patent number: 8132700
    Abstract: An accessory mounting system having a body for being removably engaged with a supporting structure. The body includes a pliable strap for securing the body to a variety of profiles. An operator is connected to the body and configured to engage the strap such that a portion of the strap removably engages the body. A cap portion is rotatably connected to the body and is configured to removably engage an accessory. Another operator interacts with the accessory such that the accessory can be selectively secured to the supporting structure.

  • Patent number: 8056784
    Abstract: A bicycle accessory container constructed to be supported generally under a seat of a bicycle. The container includes a pair of sidewalls that generally enclose a cavity. A severable closure is attached to the sidewalls and allows the cavity to be selectively enclosed or exposed to atmosphere. A securing member is secured to one or both of the sidewalls within the cavity and is deformable between a first orientation wherein the securing member will pass freely between adjacent seat brackets and a second orientation wherein the securing member will not pass freely through the space between the seat brackets.

  • Publication number: 20100206123
    Abstract: An electronic bicycle accessory that includes a pair of mounting arms that extend in an opposite direction relative to a display of an electronic device. The pair of mounting arms are oriented in a generally C-shape to define a cavity between the mounting arms. Each mounting arm has a terminal end that extends to an over-center position of the cavity. When the electronic accessory is associated with a bicycle structure, the mounting arms deflect away from one another thereby allowing the bicycle structure to pass into the cavity. Once positioned in the cavity, the mounting arms provide a closure pressure that maintains the orientation of the accessory relative to the bicycle. When removed from a structure, no portion of the accessory remains behind.
