  • Patent number: 11305703
    Abstract: An apparatus for mounting a device to a dashboard of a vehicle has a planar element having a first height, a first width, a front planar surface and a back planar surface, and a mounting element having a second height smaller than the first height, a second width smaller than the first width, and a length, the mounting element joined to the back planar surface of the planar element such that the length of the mounting element extends orthogonally to the back planar surface. The mounting element is adapted to fit into an existing opening in the dashboard of the vehicle, such that the planar element is supported and presented with the front planar surface upright.

  • Publication number: 20210354562
    Abstract: A console cover apparatus has a first and a second side wall having a common height, spaced apart by a dimension greater than a width of a console between front seats of a vehicle, a front wall and a rear wall joined to the side walls, the front wall and the rear wall extending to a height at least equal to the common height of the first and second side walls, and a top surface joined to the side walls or the front and rear walls, or both, in a manner to present the top surface horizontally, the top surface recessed below the common height of the side walls and the front and rear walls, such that an upper extension of the side walls and the front and rear walls provides a barrier around the four sides of the top surface.

  • Publication number: 20150022906
    Abstract: An apparatus has a plate having a length, a width and an attachment interface, two clamping mechanisms, each having a cross piece fastened orthogonally to the elongated plate, a bumper block formed under the cross piece, an inflexible strap joined the cross piece on one side of the elongated plate, and a first tightening mechanism enabled to draw the strap joined to the cross piece on an opposite side of the elongated plate. The attachment interface allows the cross piece of the clamping mechanisms to be assembled at a plurality of different positions along the length of the elongated plate, such that a distance between the two clamping mechanisms is adjustable, allowing the clamping mechanisms to be joined to a tubular barrel at two different positions of equal or differing diameter.
