  • Patent number: 7857178
    Abstract: A universal mobile telephone headpiece holder includes a U-shaped receiver member, configured to hold an earpiece, and a generally linear support member that is capable to engage a curved member on a telephone headpiece not having an earpiece to support the headpiece within convenient reach of an operator of an automobile vehicle while the headpiece is not in use. The receiver member can be configured for mounting in different attachment members to be detachable therefrom. The attachment member can be in the form of a clip engagable with an air conditioning vent grille louver or an adhesive member that is simply stuck on a flush surface of the dashboard. Through the universal telephone headpiece holder, the headpiece can be supported at an elevated location to be accessed when the phone rings without searching for the headpiece.

  • Patent number: 7703938
    Abstract: A mounting clip is formed for attachment to the side of a bill of a cap to mount a flashlight for hands free operation. The mounting clip is constructed with a clip portion and an integral flashlight mounting portion, both of which are made of memory retentive plastic so that the mounting of either portion takes advantage of the spring bias to exert a firm grip on the surface the portion engages. The upper and lower portions of the flashlight mounting portion are formed in a pair of arcuate segments that when taken together form a generally circular barrel grasping portion in two different diameters corresponding to known configurations of mini-flashlights. The surface of the mounting clip can be coated with a rubber-like material that enhances the grip on the surface engaged thereby. The clip portion can be formed with a different width dimension than the flashlight mounting portion.
