  • Patent number: 5601268
    Abstract: The supports for the stowable drink holder of the present invention include generally a plug design which may be used in conjunction with a shoe design to garner support from existing spaces within a vehicle. The stowable drink holder will typically have a cover or tray portion, opposing drink support arms, and a carriage from which the drink support arms and tray/cover foldably depend. In configurations where the carriage is mounted to a vertical surface, the tray covers the folded arms and carriage, and is thus sometimes referred to as a cover. The drink holder will be supported from the tray portion, and thus the carriage will pivotally depend from the tray, and the opposing drink support arms will depend from the carriage. The drink holder will depend from the plug structure, the plug structure will occupy the space of an open hole in the console or arm rest. When the plug is inserted, as it supports the drink holder, it will provide a flat surface to the tray portion of the drink holder.

    Abstract: A bracket mounting system encompasses both an apparatus and method enabling the mounting of a portable cellular phone in a manner which provides safety and utility to the user. The bracket system includes a bracket support which is attached to a vehicle dash or console from a pivoting hinge. The bracket support of the bracket system can reversibly engage the pivoting hinge to present either a first surface or a second surface to the driver. The first surface of the bracket support has a strike plate and some other engagement structure to facilitate the wear resistant mounting, removal, and re-mounting of a portable cellular phone. The second surface has a Velcro-type material, preferably of hook members, which engage a complementary surface of hook members which may be attached to a portable cellular phone.

  • Patent number: 5048083
    Abstract: A telephone mounting device attachable alongside the center console of an automobile without causing destruction of any portion of the console. The device comprising a housing or shelf-like structure sized and configured to be positionable adjacent to center console of an automobile and to have a telephone position thereon. A console engaging member extends from the housing or shelf-like structure so as to frictionally engage at least a portion of the console. A second portion of the housing or shelf-like structure is engageable to the automobile, adjacent the center console, to hold the housing or shelf-like structure in its operative position. Generally, such anchoring of the housing or shelf-like structure is achieved by passing bolts or screws into the carpeted floorboard beneath the center console. Thus, if it is desired to subsequently remove such bolts or screws, the permanent holes created thereby will be covered by the carpeting and concealed from view.
