  • Patent number: 4762258
    Abstract: A support device for supporting small articles. The device is adapted to be secured to a supporting panel such as the windshield of an automobile. The device is formed of two planar members, one of which is adapted to be secured to a support panel member. The two planar members are interconnected by means of a hinge whereby the second planar member may be rotated about a hinge pin to lie at any desired angle with respect to the first planar member. Thus the first planar member may be secured to a windshield or a similar supporting surface which is disposed at an angle with respect to the vertical, whereby the second member may be rotated to be at a desired orientation, for instance horizontal. The hinge includes a fastner to tightly press the hinge knuckles together to maintain the orientation of the two planar members with respect to each other.
