  • Patent number: 7510158
    Abstract: A vehicular beverage container holder comprises a receptacle with an elongated compartment and an adjuster assembly mounted to the receptacle to define separate beverage container compartments within the compartment for receiving individual beverage containers. The adjuster assembly comprises a body and a pair of adjusters slidably mounted to and extending from opposite sides of the body. Rotation of a knob and gear assembly of the adjuster assembly effects movement of the adjusters relative to the body to adjust the sizes of openings for the beverage container compartments for accommodating a range of beverage container sizes. Additionally, the knob and gear assembly includes a slip clutch mechanism that enables movement of one of the adjusters while movement of the other of the adjusters is retarded by a beverage container.

  • Patent number: 6866300
    Abstract: A flange (62) includes a first flange section (64) configured for coupling with a first tube (102), and a second flange section (66) configured for coupling with a second tube (104). A first mating portion (70) of the first flange section (64) connects to a second mating portion (74) of the second flange section (66) to form the flange (62) for retaining the first tube (102) beside the second tube (104). The flange (62), first tube (102), and second tube (104) form a subassembly (100). The subassembly (100) is subsequently assembled so that a third tube (112) is retained in fluid communication with the first tube (102) and a fourth tube (114) is retained in fluid communication with the second tube (104) to form a tube joint assembly (110) for roughly parallel sets of tubes.
