11828320 · 2023-11-28 · ·

A device for mounting an electronic device to a surface comprising a main body, an electronic device holder, a mounting apparatus and a lever. The electronic device holder comprises a planar member affixed to the main body and holds the electronic device. The mounting apparatus is affixed to the main body, and securely attaches the device to the surface. The lever includes a first end pivotally attached to the main body and in communication with the mounting apparatus, and a second end for engagement by a user. The lever is movable from a first position where the lever is vertically oriented causing the mounting apparatus to engage the surface, and a second position where the lever is horizontally oriented and extends through a slot in the planar member of the electronic device holder into where the electronic device is mounted causing the mounting apparatus to release from the vertical surface.

Camera and suction cup apparatus

A camera fixed by suction to a transparent member and configured to capture an image through the transparent member includes: a planar portion having an opening; an auxiliary member attached to a surface of the planar portion and including a hole formed therein, the hole communicating with the opening of the planar portion, the auxiliary member having a plate shape and being brought into contact with the transparent member; and a suction portion causing the auxiliary member to be attached by suction to the transparent member by forming a negative pressure in the opening of the planar portion, in which the auxiliary member is softer than a material of the planar portion.

Object anchoring assembly
11434952 · 2022-09-06 ·

An object anchoring assembly includes a housing that can be positioned on a horizontal support surface having an object being positioned on top of the housing. A plurality of arms is each slidably integrated into the housing and each of the arms is positionable in a retracted position or an extended position. A plurality of engagements is each is movably integrated into a respective one of the arms. Additionally, each of the engagements engages the housing at a variety of locations to retain the arms at a selected degree of extension to accommodate dimensions of the object placed on the housing. A coupler is movably coupled to the housing to engage the support surface thereby inhibiting the housing from sliding on the support surface.

20220297970 · 2022-09-22 ·

The present invention relates to a wrapping material storage and dispensing device. The device has a plurality of containers, wherein each container is configured to store a wrapping material roll and has a sliding cutter to dispense and tear a fixed and desired length of the wrapping material sheet from each roll. Each container has a pair of rollers that enable rolling of the wrapping material roll when the wrapping material is dispensed. The device includes suction cups at the base and/or rear to secure the container(s) on a counter surface or mount to a wall. The device easily stores, organizes, conserves and enables single-handed pulling out or dispensing of specific lengths of wrapping material.

Panel joiner systems and methods
11421726 · 2022-08-23 ·

A panel joiner system includes 2 sets of suction cups couple together through a linear guide to allow the sets of suction cups to move toward each other for joining panels along the edges. A movement mechanism is also coupled to the suction cups to convert a rotational movement to a linear movement of the suction cups. A surface alignment module is coupled to the linear guide to move between the suction cups for aligning the top surface of the panels. Compressible materials or ball bearings can be disposed between the section cups and the linear guide to allow the panel joiner to adjust the panel positions for joining.

MOUNT APPARATUS FOR SECURING AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE TO A SURFACE
20220097619 · 2022-03-31 ·

Various embodiments of a mount apparatus are disclosed herein for securing an electronic device (such as a radar laser detector, GPS device, and/or dash camera or other electronic device used within a vehicle) to a surface such as an interior surface (e.g., windshield, dashboard) of a vehicle. In one example, the mount apparatus includes a magnet which is adapted to be coupled with a corresponding metal surface within the electronic device, so that the magnet positioned within the apparatus provides a magnetic force to aid a user in securing the mount apparatus and the electronic device to each other.

20210278628 · 2021-09-09 ·

The invention comprises a hands-free, adjustable telescoping magnifying mirror. The mirror may have a first reflective surface and a second reflective surface and can be secured to a horizontal or vertical surface using a suction cup base or can be hung over a door or ledge using a retractable hanger bracket. A telescoping rod is attached to the suction cup base. The mirror may be extended from the base by extending the telescoping rod and the mirror assembly can stand freely without falling over, whether the suction cup base is engaged or not. Additionally, one or more light sources may be disposed at a periphery of the first reflective surface or second reflective surface.

Light bulb removing and installing assemblies

Light bulb removing and installing assemblies are provided that can be easily configured for use with light bulbs different sizes and/or shapes. The assembly can include at least two different types of bulb holding devices that are removably connected to one another in a nested manner. The assembly can include bulb holding devices of different sizes that have an open bottom, which is removably connectable to a common base. The assembly can include a resilient finger holder and a common base, where the common base includes a number of upstanding, radially directed flexible members.

DASH CAM MOUNT
