Abstract: A Tray and Trellis System includes vertical posts or legs, longitudinal members, and cross members. Combs include tines fixed at one end to longitudinal members on one side, and releasably engaged at their other end to other longitudinal members on the other side. Further combs include tines fixed to a cross member at one end, and releasably engaged to another cross member at the other end. There may be intermediate cross members having tines fixed to them and other tines releasably engaged to them. Fixation of the tines may be by clips, rings, welding, bonding, fastening, or by molding as a single piece. The releasably engaged ends of the tines may be engaged with snap-fit slot features in the longitudinal members, the cross members, or the clips or rings, or may be engaged with open grommets inserted into openings in the longitudinal members or cross members.

Abstract: A mounting device that enables a contemporary audio/video accessory to be installed in the dashboard of an older model vehicle includes a flange, at least one wall, and a plurality of shoulders. The flange has a rearward-facing surface and an opposite engagement surface configured to engage the dashboard along the perimeter of the opening and to face in the frontward direction. The flange has an inner rim defining an entrance of the channel that is sized to receive the audio/video accessory. At least one wall extends from the engagement surface of the flange, and is sized to be received in the dashboard opening. The shoulders extend in an inward direction from the at least one wall. The shoulders have respective abutment surfaces facing the engagement surface of the flange. The abutment surfaces engage the outer portion of the audio/video accessory when the accessory is inserted into the channel.
