Various storage system embodiments are described. Each storage system is displaceable between a stowed position and an erected configuration wherein the storage system provides a storage compartment for retaining and protecting smaller delicate items from being displaced and potentially damaged within the greater expanse of a cargo compartment of a motor vehicle.

A combination of a vehicle including a steering wheel assembly and an electronic cell phone device having a side positioned camera and a mounting system that enables said cell phone device to be mounted on said steering wheel assembly. The camera faces at least one front seat side window of the vehicle allowing handsfree recording and uploading to cloud storage of events inside and outside the vehicle without the necessity of the driver positioning the camera at the area being recorded.

A loop surface fastener in which numerous looped engaging elements formed from loop yarns inserted in parallel to ground warp yarns are provided upright on one side of a base fabric formed from ground warp yarns and ground weft yarns satisfies all the following requirements 1) to 3). 1) The loop yarn is a multi-filament yarn formed by bundling 5 to 9 filaments of 30 to 45 decitex. 2) The density of the looped engaging elements is in a range of 100 to 200/cm.sup.2. 3) Loop surfaces of the looped engaging elements are substantially facing in the same direction and the loop surface facing direction is a ground weft yarn direction.

A male and female mounting assembly include a female fastener body, a male fastener body, a locking mechanism, and a release button to secure electronic devices or any other apparatus to a flat surface. The female fastener body that independently functions as an ornamental body and the male fastener body that is connected to a device are operatively coupled to each other through the locking mechanism that is positioned within the female fastener body. The release button is operatively coupled with the locking mechanism so that the release button can separate the male fastener body and the female fastener body from each other by applying pressure to the release button. Resultantly, the female fastener body and the male fastener body collectively function as a mounting assembly to secure a device.

A camera module, which is mounted on an inside of a front windshield of a vehicle and to image an external environment of the vehicle, includes a lens unit and an imager to image the external environment by forming an optical image, which is from the external environment through the lens unit.

A method for mounting an accessory at a vehicular windshield includes adhesively attaching a base portion of each of at least three fixing elements at an interior cabin side of the windshield in a spaced apart non-contiguous manner. A frame includes a plurality of individual receiving portions. With the windshield installed in the vehicle, the frame is attached at the fixing elements via receiving an elongated portion of a respective and corresponding one of the fixing elements in a respective and corresponding one of the receiving portions of the frame. With the windshield installed in the vehicle, and with the frame attached at the fixing elements, a camera is disposed at the frame and received at structure of the frame, such that the camera views through the windshield via an aperture existing in the frame and a light transmissive aperture in a light absorbing layer of the windshield.

A vehicle interfaced smartphone control device for limiting phone distraction while driving includes a docking station, which selectively engages a smartphone of a driver of a vehicle so that the smartphone is operationally engaged to the docking station. The docking station is mountable to an interior element of the vehicle so that the smartphone is accessible to the driver. The docking station is operationally engageable an electronic control module of the vehicle. First and second programming code are selectively positionable on the electronic control module and the smartphone, respectively. The first programming code enables the electronic control module to operate the vehicle with at least one operational aspect of the vehicle being limited. The second programming code enables the smartphone, when operationally engaged to the docking station, to continuously signal the electronic control module to operate the vehicle without limiting any operational aspects of the vehicle.

A hit-and-run dash camera device is provided that has a plurality of sensors. The sensors may be triggered by specific distance and speed elements commonly found before, during, or after a hit-and-run collision. Triggering of the sensors causes at least one camera of the device to begin recording to capture a fleeing vehicle.
