The current embodiment of the broken golf tee collection container is designed to elevate over the dashboard of a golf cart or a similar vehicle using attachment brackets and can be easily removed and reattached. The container has a bottom with slots for water to drain. The angled or vertical sides and the open top design of the container makes it easy to store and to remove broken golf tees, as needed. The top portions of the attachment brackets are secured to the left and right edges on the bottom part of the container and support the container in an almost level position above the dashboard. The lower portion of the attachment brackets are a rotated block U shape, which slides onto and over the dashboard to secure the container and contents during the normal operation of the golf cart.

Vehicle tailgate system

A vehicle tailgate includes an internal panel, upper panel, lower panel, pair of side panels, and pair of tie-down brackets. The internal panel extends from the upper panel to the lower panel and between the pair of side panels. The side panels are rotatably secured to a cargo bed proximate to the lower panel. The pair of tie-down brackets is secured to an exterior of the internal panel between the upper and lower panels. The tie-down brackets define C-channels that extend in a direction that is substantially parallel with the side panels.

Providing a constant gap width between a sensor head and an opening in a sensor holder outside a vehicle

A device for monitoring vehicles surroundings includes a sensor, a sensor holder and a fastener. Due to manufacturing tolerances, the sensor axis that passes through the head of the sensor deviates from the axis of the sensor main body. The sensor head passes into an opening in the sensor holder centered around a sensor holding axis. When the sensor is mounted into a receiver niche in the sensor holder, the sensor holding axis and the sensor axis are aligned. The fastener fastens the sensor to the sensor holder and compensates for the sensor axis deviating from the main body axis. Screws pass through bore holes in the fastener and into screw holes in the sensor holder. The bore holes have a larger diameter than do the screw holes, allowing the sensor axis to be aligned with the sensor holding axis despite the sensor axis deviating from the main body axis.

Camera and mount for a vehicle trailer
