  • Publication number: 20040084461
    Abstract: An inflatable cup holder secures a variety of beverage container sizes and shapes. The cup holder includes a shell having an inner wall defining an internal bore, the inner wall having an aperture therein. An inflatable bladder adjacent to the aperture extends through the aperture and reduces the bore volume upon pressurization. An inflation device for pressurizing the bladder is located within the shell. A manual or air compressor inflation device operation are contemplated. A pressure release valve in full communication with the bladder prevents bladder inflation above a pre-selected threshold and also is activated to release a beverage container from the inventive cup holder.

  • Patent number: 5964443
    Abstract: A mounting bracket system for a rearview mirror intended to be temporarily and readily affixed to a protruding surface of a watercraft or a vehicle. The instant invention finds particular advantage when a load is being towed or trailed and the normal rear line of sight is obscured. The mounting bracket of the instant invention is adapted to receive a conventional mirror assembly on one end, the other end terminates in a generally orthogonal, cylindrical appendage. The appendage is selectively oriented and contacted between two opposing clamping members. The first clamping member is affixed to a frame adapted to engage the protruding surface. The second clamping member is slidably displaceable relative to the first clamping member.
