An apparatus for mounting a portable electronic device in a vehicle includes an element that is compressible or expandable, first and second grips, and a device holder configured to selectively hold a portable electronic device. The element has first and second ends spaced apart from one another by a first distance when the element is in its uncompressed or unexpanded state. The first and second ends are movable towards or away from one another by application of an external force that causes the ends to be spaced apart from one another by less or more than the first distance. The element is biased to try to return to its uncompressed or unexpanded state when the external force is not being applied. The first and second grips extend from the first and second ends of the element and are configured to grip a pair of spaced apart vehicle headrest posts.

A head support system for a seat of a motor vehicle, with a strap system that is constructed and arranged to be coupled to the motor vehicle such that a strap portion is located along two sides the seat, proximate the expected location of the head of a person sitting in the seat, and a pair of head cushions, one of the head cushions coupled to each of the strap portions.

Infant observation mirror assembly with temperature display for attachment to a top portion of a rear vehicle seat includes a main panel having opposed front and rear surfaces and a mirror embedded in the front surface thereof. The mirror assembly further includes a temperature display section defined on the front surface of the main panel. A positioning base is coupled to the rear surface of the main panel. The main panel is pivotably attached to the positioning base for allowing rotation about a horizontal axis and a vertical axis. A mounting harness attaches to the positioning base. The mounting harness removably attaches to the top portion of the rear vehicle seat to hold the mirror assembly in a selected lateral and vertical position on the rear vehicle seat.

The present invention relates to a vehicle trash disposal system used for storing vehicle trash in a simple and effective manner. The system consists of an outer permanent bag having magnetic sealing strips on the top part and an inner trash bag that is releasably connected to the outer permanent bag. The magnetic strips on the top part of the outer permanent bag ensure that any trash inside the inner trash bag are kept out of sight and release minimal odor due to the sealing action of the strips. The system can also be built into a car seat wherein a drawer slides into and out of the car seat. The drawer holds a removable trash receptacle to hold vehicle trash. In addition, the system is ergonomic in that it allows for easy opening and closing even during driving.

A car seat sun shade is provided. The car seat sun shade includes a top flap dimensioned to extend over the length of a car seat. Opposing ends of the car seat sun shade provide adjustable straps for extending around and removably connecting about a rear and front headrest, respectively, keeping the top flap adjacent to and spaced apart from a child in the car seat disposed between the rear and front headrests. The top flap provides side flaps draping from the top flap to a location below the head of the child, the side flaps being movable between the draped condition and a folded condition for making the child visible to a user.

A protection device having a set of inflatable protection members including a neck airbag, a left lower airbag, a left upper airbag, a right lower airbag, and a right upper airbag. The protection device has a lower pocket provided with a lower base forming the neck airbag and two lower lateral branches forming the left lower airbag and the right lower airbag. An upper pocket at least partially secured to the lower pocket is provided with an upper base forming a head airbag and two upper lateral branches forming the left upper airbag and the right upper airbag. At least one longitudinal internal wall provide at least two “tubes” in each upper airbag, the upper pocket being in fluid flow communication with the lower pocket.

The invention relates to a retaining device for a still or video camera in the interior of a motor vehicle with a fastening apparatus (5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e) for attaching the retaining device to a vehicle seat part, such as a backrest (2), headrest (3), or headrest holder (4, 4a, 4b) of a vehicle seat (1), and a carrier arm (6, 6′, 6″, 60, 60′, 60″, 62, 62′, 62″) which is oriented approximately horizontally and parallel with respect to the broad side of the backrest (2) and at one end of which a holder (7) is arranged for receiving a camera (8), wherein the carrier arm (6, 6′, 6″, 60, 60′, 60″, 62, 62′, 62″) protrudes beyond the vehicle seat part (2, 3, 4, 4a, 4b) to such an extent that the lens (8a) of the camera (8) has an uninterrupted view towards the front in the driving direction and/or towards the rear in the direction counter to the driving direction, and wherein the carrier arm (6, 6′, 6″, 60, 60′, 60″, 62, 62′, 62″) at its other end is connected via a first rotary joint (6a) with an approximately vertically-oriented rotational axis Z2 to the fastening device (5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e) and can be pivoted in an approximately horizontal plane.

Aspects of the disclosure include a frame that has an arc-shaped structure configured to create a space between the wrap-around shield and a child safety seat arranged inward from the frame. A first end of the frame is configured to curve toward a second end of the frame. The second end of the frame is also configured to curve toward the first end of the frame, and the first end and the second end having a respective profile that has a height which increases as the first end and the second end curve toward each other. A first connecting member connected to the first end of the frame, the first connecting member comprising a tether for connecting to a first latch of a rear seat.

One embodiment provides a retaining device. The retaining device includes a retaining member and a case member. The retaining member has a base and a shaft that protrudes from the side of the base. The case member includes: a frame which forms an opening; a pair of side walls which are erected from both side edges of the frame; and an insertion opening which is formed between the pair of side walls for inserting the retaining member from the rear side of the case member. A shaft hole is formed in each side wall, and the shaft is inserted into the shaft holes. A first slit is formed in each side wall and located between the insertion opening and the shaft hole.

Various implementations include seats and related loudspeaker assemblies. In particular cases, a seat includes: a seat headrest portion; a seat backrest portion; and a loudspeaker assembly associated with the backrest portion. The loudspeaker assembly can have an acoustic directivity angled upward above a nominal ear position of an occupant.
