  • Patent number: 10363855
    Abstract: A beverage container holder that includes a first member including a floor, sidewall, and first opening, the floor connected and spaced apart from the first opening by the first member sidewall to define a receptacle to receive the beverage container therein; a second member, where a portion of the second member is inserted into the first opening of the first member to permit rotation of the second member about a center axis; a plurality of elastic bands, each elastic band of the plurality of elastic bands being connected to the first member at one end and the second member at the opposite end such that tension is established within each elastic band of the plurality of elastic bands; and the plurality of nylon bands collaborate to operatively form into a configuration which constricts an area centrally located in the receptacle of the first member.

  • Patent number: 10005398
    Abstract: A cargo management system for use in a vehicle cargo area includes at least one guide rail disposed on the load floor of the cargo area and include an elongate slot at least partially formed therein. At least one track incorporating a plurality of locking portions is disposed on the load floor proximate the at least one guide rail. A support member includes a housing and one or more extensions at least partially received within the elongate slot of the at least one guide rail. The support member is disposed adjacent to and movably positioned relative to the load floor. A locking mechanism is adjustably connected to the support member housing and includes a locking member having a projection that releasably engages one or more locking portions of the at least one track.
