A pinch-grip mount holds a mobile device with respect to a support surface and has a pair of arms movably extending from opposite sides of a base. A pair of rollers is carried by distal ends of the pair of arms. The distal ends of the pair of arms pivot about a joint between wider and narrow positions. A pair of opposing pads is carried by distal ends of the pair of arms and have an exterior contact surface. The pair of opposing pads comprise a tacky material with the exterior contact surface being a tacky surface.

A method of installing a sensor pod on a vehicle includes aligning a sensor pod arm with a bracket attached to the vehicle, lowering the sensor pod arm onto the bracket, supporting the weight of the sensor pod on a support axle between the bracket and the sensor pod arm before rigidly coupling the sensor pod arm to the bracket, rotating the sensor pod arm into alignment with the bracket, and securing the sensor pod arm to the bracket. A method of uninstalling the sensor pod on a vehicle.

A mounting and fastening system clamp has an inboard-outboard axis, and includes a clamp inboard surface extending transversely with respect to the axis; a clamp outboard surface extending transversely with respect to the axis; a clamp outward surface extending between the inboard and outboard surfaces; a tapered inward surface extending between the inboard and outboard surfaces and tapering in an axially inboard and radially inward direction; and a rail mating inward surface extending between the inboard and outboard surfaces.

A vehicle console includes a housing having an interior volume. A console bin is disposed within the interior volume. The console bin is an injection molded member having a base and a plurality of bin walls coupled to the base at living hinges, wherein the plurality of bin walls form an interior surface that extends orthogonally from the base.

A mounting and fastening system includes a mounting adapter configured to adapt mounting of a second component with respect to a first component, and having a radially inward portion including a throughbore, and a radially outward portion with a tapered outward surface that tapers in an axially inboard and radially inward direction and that cooperates with a tapered surface of the second component and such that an adapter inboard surface faces a first outboard surface of the first component. A mounting bolt for a mounting a fastening system includes: a head including flat opposite sides and semi-cylindrical opposite sides interposed between the flat opposite sides; a shank extending from the head; an external thread on at least a portion of the shank; a passage extending through the head and into at least a portion of the shank; and an internal thread in at least a portion of the passage.

A vehicle seat comprises a carrier including first, second, third, and fourth carrier members and a strap disposed across opposing first and second carrier members. The strap includes a first end fixedly coupled to the first carrier member and a second end adjustably coupled to an attachment assembly disposed on the second carrier member. A rod is disposed transverse to the strap and is coupled to opposing third and fourth carrier members, wherein the attachment assembly includes an adjustment mechanism for setting a usable length of the strap, and wherein the usable length includes a first usable length, a second usable length, and an intermediate length between the first usable length and the second usable length.

A console element for connection to a vehicle floor of a vehicle, having a main body having a main body base and main body side walls, and having front connectors and rear connectors that are attached in each case to an underside of the main body base and can be inserted in receptacles arranged on the vehicle floor of the vehicle by means of a horizontal movement of the main body along a joining direction, characterized in that the front connectors and the rear connectors are designed to be self-centering.

Hangers, hanger devices, and hanging system are described in the present disclosure for hanging user objects within an interior of a vehicle and for supporting the objects, such as, for example, to prevent the objects from being unrestrained and flying through the air in the event of an accident. In one embodiment, a hanger device includes a shaft element including a shank and a screw component. The screw component has a spiral thread that is adapted to be secured within a threaded bore. The hanger device further includes an annular ring arranged around an outer surface of the shank and a head component attached to an end of the shank. Also, a loop of a flexible material may be adapted to extend from the annular ring.

Embodiments of the present invention may provide a step, rock guard, handyman jack storage and even jack lift point system that can be made for most 44 vehicles. One product may resolve individual problems that may become apparent once a lift kit and larger wheels are installed on a 44 vehicle. Products can be made to fit two-door Jeeps, four-door Jeeps, Trucks, SUV's, or the like.

A system comprising a sensor, a protective enclosure configured to enclose the sensor and a mounting pad configured to be attached to a predetermined surface of a predetermined vehicle, the mounting pad having a predetermined contact area as a function of a weight of the sensor and the protective enclosure. The sensor and the protective enclosure are attached to the mounting pad, and the mounting pad is attached to the predetermined surface of the vehicle using an adhesive layer that extends over the predetermined contact area that is selected to provide a maximum weight support that is correlated to a weight of the sensor and the protective enclosure.
