  • Overhead instrument console
    Patent number: 4133405
    Abstract: This invention describes a system for displaying instruments in an overhead console in an automobile. A transverse instrument panel is located against the roofline of an automobile and located transverse of the automobile above the forward windshield. A centrally located cutout in the transverse panel allows a fore and aft beam to be attached to the roof member in the area of the rear view mirror at the forward part and near the dome light in the rearward portion. Tapered brackets attached to the fore and aft brace member hold instrument panels on each side and on the bottom most portion to thereby provide instrument panel space on both the driver's side and the passenger's side. The fore and aft instrument panels mate with the transverse panels giving the appearance of a single overhead instrument console.
