Abstract: A soap holder has a base and a hollow pedestal upwardly extending from the base to a top end, at which is formed an upper limit or locus. The locus receives a bar of soap. At least one air hole is formed to communicate to the pedestal interior and to be disposed below the top end. Since almost all of the exterior surface of the soap bar is exposed to ambient air, the soap bar dries without creating a goopy mess. Curved surfaces of the soap holder aid in its cleaning.

Abstract: A windshield mount for a personal electronic device has a first support plate that pivots relative to a base and a second support plate that stays in the same plane but slides to fit the width of the device. Using one hand, the user pinches opposed finger tabs to snap the mount to an open configuration. To install the device in the mount after it has been affixed to a vehicle windshield, the user need use only one hand to press the back of the device against the pivoting support plate, snapping the mount back to a closed configuration.

Abstract: A windshield phone mount includes a telescoping arm assembly that brings the mounted cell phone or other personal electronic device within the maximum reach envelope of the driver. A bumper substantially surrounds an arm component in cross section and rests on the dashboard near the rear edge thereof. Living hinges in the bumper allow it to be pried apart and installed on the arm component without tearing. A user may select from a kit of arms for use in assembling the complete mount.

Abstract: A face shield comprises a frame that includes a headband, a visor support member and a standoff member spacing the headband from the visor support member. The headband has a strap portion that extends from a center thereof to a right end and to a left end, both positioned rearwardly of the center. A reinforcing rib of the headband outwardly extends from the strap portion but extends for only part of the distance toward the right and left ends of the strap portion. This leaves more elastic, distal portions of the strap portion which will flex more than the reinforced portion. A transparent visor downwardly depends from the visor support member and is removably fastened thereto.

Abstract: A mount for a handheld electronic device is adapted to be attached to a flat vertical glossy environmental surface, such as a mirror, with suction cups. A shelf with an upwardly concave center section holds electronic devices of various sizes and will hold an electronic device in a vertical orientation even if the mount is attached to the mirror at a small angle to the vertical. The shelf may hold the electronic device in either portrait or landscape orientation. The shelf permits a cable to be plugged into the bottom of the electronic device by being routed through a central notch in the shelf and an opening in a lip.

Abstract: A holder for a noncircular, hermetically sealed fluid container with a flexible sidewall has a plurality of ribs inwardly extending from at least one side wall of the container. The ribs stand off an outer surface of a container sidewall portion from the inner surface of the holder sidewall through a range of differential pressures between the contents of the container and the ambient atmosphere. This prevents the container from binding on the inner surface of the holder sidewall even when the container sidewall portion is deformed by an increase in differential pressure. The holder has application in environments in which the difference in pressure could dramatically change, such as in the interior of vehicles or the out of doors.

Abstract: A personal electronic device mount has a mounting bracket with a left jaw, a right jaw and a central support. The mount, which can be used for large cell phones, permits the device to be held in either a “portrait” orientation or a “landscape” orientation. Each of the left jaw, right jaw and central support has an engagement plate with plural corrugations that constrain the left and right jaws to horizontal sliding movement. The corrugations form surfaces on each of the engagement plates which interface with corresponding surfaces on each of the other engagement plates. The engagement plates of the left and right jaws move with respect to each other and with respect to the engagement plate of the central support. A left jaw clamp and a right jaw clamp independently affix the left jaw engagement plate and the right jaw engagement plate to the central support engagement plate at positions as desired by the user.

Abstract: An extension bar for a mount for an electronic device includes an elongate first component. An upper end of the extension bar is adapted to be joined to an electronic device mounting bracket. A clamp is attached to a base of the mount. The base has a hollow interior. The clamp may clamp the first component to the base at any of a plurality of positions along an affixation range defined on the first component. In some of these positions, a lower end of the first component is inserted through an opening in top of the base to be disposed in the hollow base interior.
