REAR SEAT ENTERTAINMENT BRACKET WITH SWIVEL BALL POSITIONING
An entertainment bracket for a seat of a motor vehicle includes a mount disposed on the seat, the mount having a headrest bracket and a screen support. The headrest bracket extends from a substantially planar headrest attachment portion rearwards to the screen support, the screen support connected at an angle to the headrest attachment portion and including a first portion of a swivel ball joint. A human machine interface (HMI) bracket supports an HMI and includes a second portion of the swivel ball joint connected to the first portion of the swivel ball joint, the first portion and the second portion of the swivel ball joint allowing the HMI bracket to articulate through a range of motion relative to the headrest bracket. A covering component is disposed overtop the headrest attachment portion and forms a substantially smooth, continuous exterior surface of the entertainment bracket.
CARGO CARRIER SYSTEM
Described herein is a cargo carrier system comprising a cargo carrier and a mounting base configured to attach to a vehicle trailer hitch. The cargo carrier can have wheels and can removably attach to the mounting base. The cargo carrier can easily be removed from the mounting base and pivoted to the ground. The mounting base can be pivoted vertically when not in use.
TEMPORARY, MAGNETIC LICENSE PLATE HOLDER DEVICE
A license plate holder device for temporarily securing a plate, for example a vehicle dealer license plate, to a vehicle, in particular to existing license plate hardware such as bolts or screws having heads. The license plate holder device temporary attachment mechanism is two-fold, providing both a magnetic connection to the existing license plate hardware and a physical contact with the existing hardware that supports against a shearing force substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the hardware.
UNIVERSAL MOUNTING TABS AND KITS FOR AUTOMOTIVE COMPONENTS
Mounting tabs, kits and methods of using the mounting tabs where none previously existed or for replacing/repairing broken mounting tabs are disclosed. For example, the mounting tabs, kits and methods disclosed herein are well suited for the repair of high value components, including automotive components.
Vehicle tailgate system
A vehicle tailgate includes an internal panel, a pair of side panels, and a tie-down bracket. The internal panel extends between the pair of side panels. The pair of side panels are rotatably secured to a cargo bed. The tie-down bracket is secured to an exterior of the internal panel. The tie-down bracket defines first and second C-channels that extend in a direction from a first to a second of the side panels.
Magnetic quick mounting unit for construction machines, method, and construction machine having such a quick mounting unit
The present invention relates to a magnetic quick mounting unit for construction machines, particularly road pavers, having a positioning mark configured for permanent attachment to a construction machine, an attachment device which can be magnetically attached on the positioning mark, an alignment mark arranged on the attachment device and indicating the alignment of the attachment device, and an alignment aid arranged on the positioning mark, the alignment mark and the alignment aid being configured such that the alignment of the attachment device relative to the construction machine can be read from the relative position of the alignment mark to the alignment aid when the attachment device has been attached on the positioning mark. The present invention further relates to a method for magnetic quick-mounting of an attachment device, particularly a camera, to a construction machine, particularly a road paver, comprising the steps of: attaching a positioning mark with an alignment aid on the construction machine; attaching an alignment mark on the attachment device; magnetically attaching the attachment device on the positioning mark; and aligning the attachment device by means of the relative positions of the alignment aid and the alignment mark. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a construction machine having such a magnetic quick mounting unit.
Vehicle mounting device for surveillance equipment
The present invention relates to a surveillance equipment mounting device for a vehicle, the device including: a pillar vertically provided on a floor of a vehicle; and a support member horizontally provided on a top end of the pillar and having a substantially shape, wherein the support member is configured such that a first side section is shorter than a second side section with respect to the top end of the pillar, the first side section has an end provided with a first mounting part on which the equipment is mounted, and the second side section has an end provided with a second mounting part, the first mounting part being provided at a position lower than the second mounting part.
Multipurpose Utility Rack
A multipurpose utility rack for a UTV (utility task vehicle) is disclosed. An upper assembly containing a rectangular table portion rigidly connects a first side rail generally parallel to a second side rail. A first side assembly forms a third side rail with one or more brackets that connect the first side assembly to the upper assembly. A second side assembly forms a fourth side rail with one or more brackets that connect the second side assembly to the upper assembly. The first side assembly, the second side assembly, the upper assembly, the third side rail, or the fourth side rail may be formed of plastic.
HOLDING ARRANGEMENT AND VEHICLE
A pivotable display system having a traction spring tensioned to reversibly pivot the display around a pivot axis of a shaft connected to an upper portion of a display in a direction from a front side of the display toward the rear side of the display. In the event of an accident-related application of force below a threshold, the display is rotatable in a rearward direction toward an instrument panel, so that a steering column pushed in a direction towards the display avoids or at least reduces the risk of destruction of the display. In the event of accident-related application of force above the threshold, the traction spring may reversibly displace the display upwardly away from the steering column.
Combined shovel and storage device
The present application relates generally to storage devices, and specifically to a combined shovel and storage device for backcountry or all-terrain use comprising a shovel blade and a complementary portion, whereby the shovel blade and the complementary portion are configured to releasably secure together thereby defining a hollow space for storage therebetween. The combined shovel and storage device further includes a shovel shaft, wherein the shovel shaft is of a dimension that can be stored within the hollow space for storage, and wherein the shovel shaft contains a first end with a shovel handle and a second end opposite the first end configured to releasably secure to the shovel blade. Also disclosed is a method of using a combined shovel and storage device to shovel earth, snow, water, or any combination thereof.
