An apparatus comprising two or more projection members movable from at least a first position and a second position and from the second position to the first position, in the first position the projection members are recessed below an auxiliary surface having an outer skin, the projection members projected through the auxiliary surface in the second position, in the second position the projection members stretching the outer skin away from the auxiliary surface and creating a pocket, the pocket configured to retain at least one device therein, the at least one device including at least one of a key fob and cell phone.

A personal electronic device mount has a mounting bracket with a left jaw, a right jaw and a central support. The mount, which can be used for large cell phones, permits the device to be held in either a “portrait” orientation or a “landscape” orientation. Each of the left jaw, right jaw and central support has an engagement plate with plural corrugations that constrain the left and right jaws to horizontal sliding movement. The corrugations form surfaces on each of the engagement plates which interface with corresponding surfaces on each of the other engagement plates. The engagement plates of the left and right jaws move with respect to each other and with respect to the engagement plate of the central support. A left jaw clamp and a right jaw clamp independently affix the left jaw engagement plate and the right jaw engagement plate to the central support engagement plate at positions as desired by the user.

A rotary holder device includes: a vehicle interior member having an opening portion formed with a predetermined shape in an upper surface thereof; and a rotary body mounted on the vehicle interior member so as to be rotatable about a horizontal axis extending in a horizontal direction. The rotary body has a first holder portion and a second holder portion provided at rotation angle positions different from each other. The first holder portion has a first opening formed in a shape corresponding to the predetermined shape, and a first bottom wall facing the first opening at a position at the horizontal axis side with respect to the first opening. The second holder portion has a second opening formed in a rectangular shape, and a second bottom wall facing the second opening at a position at the horizontal axis side with respect to the second opening.

A vehicle theft-prevention apparatus can include a wireless transceiver, a plurality of sensors configured to sense measurements proximate to a vehicle, and at least one computing device coupled to the plurality of sensors and the wireless transceiver. The at least one computing device can be configured to read a plurality of measurements of the plurality of sensors and determine that at least one event has occurred based on the plurality of measurements. The at least one computing device can store data corresponding to the at least one event on a local storage coupled to the at least one computing device and can transmit, via the wireless transceiver, the data corresponding to the at least one event to a remote service.

A vehicle cargo retaining apparatus and system having a first enclosure with an outer surface and an inner surface. The first enclosure is capable of containing a fluid within the first enclosure, such as to seal the fluid from an external atmosphere. The apparatus and system may further include a plurality of jamming members within the first enclosure and an opening in the enclosure for receiving or removing fluid. In one state, the plurality of jamming members are moveable relative to one another within the first enclosure when fluid is received via the opening allowing the outer surface of the first enclosure to be deformable. In a second state the plurality of jamming members are restricted from moving relative to one another within the first enclosure when fluid is removed via the opening causing the outer surface of the first enclosure to maintain a semi-rigid or rigid state. A control system may control operation of the system to enable the retaining operations.

A vehicle armrest that is provided at a seat transverse direction end portion of a vehicle seat and that extends in a seat front-rear direction, the vehicle armrest including: a front-side supporting portion that is provided at a seat front-side end portion, and that is configured to support a wrist end portion of a forearm of a vehicle occupant; a rear-side supporting portion that is provided at a seat rear-side end portion, and that is configured to support an elbow end portion of the forearm; and a terminal accommodating portion that is provided between the front-side supporting portion and the rear-side supporting portion, a seat upper side of the terminal accommodating portion being open, and the terminal accommodating portion being positioned at a seat lower side of the forearm that is placed on the vehicle armrest, and the terminal accommodating portion being able to accommodate a portable terminal.

A wireless power transfer holder composed of a receiving space formed by first walling portions to be provided opposite side surfaces, respectively, defining width directions of an electronic device, second walling portions to be provided opposite front and back surfaces, respectively, defining thickness directions of the electronic device, a bottom portion, and an open portion formed opposite the bottom portion, first and second supporting members movable symmetrically forward or backward in the width directions from the first walling portions, respectively, toward the electronic device, to exert bias forces on the side surfaces, respectively, of the electronic device, and an inductive power transferring device mounted on one of the second walling portions to inductively transfer an electric power in a non-contact manner to the electronic device held in the receiving space. The first and second supporting members are configured to be moved while having symmetrical tilts, respectively, toward the electronic device.

An electronic device carrier and shade for holding and shading a personal electronic device includes a housing. The housing has a rear wall, a bottom wall, a top wall, a first lateral wall and a second lateral wall. The housing has a front side which is open and forms an access into an interior of the housing. The interior removably receives a personal electronic device. The top wall is attached to and extends forwardly from the rear wall. The bottom wall has a distal edge with respect to the rear wall. The distal edge lies in a vertical plane oriented perpendicular to a top side of the bottom wall. The top wall extends through the vertical plane to shade the interior of the housing. A coupler is attached to a back side of the rear wall. The coupler removably couples the housing to louvers of a car vent.

A modular gate combined with multiple functions which can be easily employed with existing tailgates without any hardware or mounting modifications to existing truck beds. There is provided a modular tailgate system having a tailgate portion in combination with a plurality of functions. The modular tailgate system integrates any combinations of at least two of the plurality of features without affecting existing body sides and/or existing truck beds. Integrated features include a multi-functional gate (e.g., swing, drop, etc), storage (e.g., normal, sealed, refrigerated, heated, etc), step(s), lighting (e.g., ingress/egress, bed interior, removable, trailer hitch, parking, etc), bed extension(s), power (e.g., 12 v and/or 110 v), tie downs (e.g., ratchets, anchors, etc), sawhorse, magnet(s), table(s), bench(es), seat(s), net(s), any other predetermined desired function, etc., and combinations thereof.
