  • Publication number: 20020090083
    Abstract: A cellular telephone device or other appliance or object is positioned in the field of sight immediately in front of a driver of an automobile. This may be accomplished by positioning the cellular telephone device on the dashboard of the automobile in a location adjacent to the peripheral edge of an imaginary line projected from the circle of the steering wheel. The driver of an automobile would then immediately be focused on the telephone device positioned in the line of sight customarily used for driving. A forward extension of the left or right arm would encounter the telephone device being held in a position so that the dialing numbers project towards the driver and are prominently displayed and immediately accessible. The cradle or bin holding the telephone device positions the telephone device to project above the dashboard and above the instruments of the automobile and in the field of view of the road immediately ahead of the automobile.

The tensioning devices each include a slide member with a cylindrical pin which is supported within a cylindrical guide opening. The cylindrical pins have a studs extending radially therefrom which extend through a radially opening slots formed along the lengths of the guide openings in order to prevent the cylindrical pins from rotating. The studs support manual operators which may be actuated to move the slide members into a conveyor element tensioning position. During actuation, the manual operators engage an adjustably positioned reference surface so that the resulting tension in the conveyor element may be easily altered.
