Attachable holder for a mobile device
A cell phone holder for use with an automotive seatbelt. The device is to be attached to a seatbelt strap using a hook and loop fastener, a magnet or two-sided tape attachment methods. Magnets of the device hold a cell phone in place while in use. A magnetic plate with an adhesive side is provided to be attached to a back end of the mobile device. The magnetic plate is then received by the holder to facilitate a secure attachment. The holder may be provided in several embodiments, one embodiment may include a holder having a slit that is then mounted onto the seatbelt. Another embodiment may be provided as a foldable holder that folds over the seatbelt and is then secured through a provided fastener. Yet another embodiment may include a holder having butterfly clutch clips on a back end to be attached to the seatbelt.
Cell phone connector
A mobile phone holder is disclosed for mounting a mobile phone to the dashboard of a car. This mobile phone holder is integrated into the back of a mobile phone or is attached to the back surface of the mobile phone through adhesive pads, or suction cups, or is incorporated into accessories of mobile phones such as attachable card holding wallets, and etc. One embodiment of this mobile phone holder creates a closed loop around the air vent bars. Hence, shakes of the car will not cause sudden detachment and falling of the phone. In Addition, this mobile phone holder is portable and is carried by the mobile phone. Hence, the user can readily have it upon using a temporary car. Moreover, since this mobile phone holder is not permanently stayed in the car, it is not exposed to extreme temperatures and thus its wear and tear is lower than conventional phone holders. The loop that is formed by this apparatus can also be used for mounting a mobile phone to the handlebar of a shopping cart, the handlebar of a bike, safety belt of a car, a belt loop, belt of a user, strap of a bag, or other accessories of a user. This apparatus can also be used as a general purpose fastener for fastening two or more objects together, hanging objects from a bar. Such general purpose fastener can be used as a toy, strap of a watch, or bracelet as well.
Lane departure warning system
A lane departure warning system is configured to be securely coupled to a portion of a vehicle. The lane departure warning system includes a bracket that is configured to securely retain a camera assembly, and a securing adhesive pad attachable to the bracket. The securing adhesive pad includes a substrate, a first adhesive layer on a first side of the substrate that is configured to secure the securing adhesive pad to the bracket, and a second adhesive layer on a second side of the substrate that is configured to secure the lane departure warning system to the vehicle.
A DISPLAY ASSEMBLY WITH TRANSPARENT COVER AND PIXEL MATRIX DISPLAY FIXED THERETO IN AN IMPROVED MANNER, AND ASSOCIATED MOUNTING METHOD
The present disclosure relates to a display arrangement, including: a cover that is transparent at least in some regions; a support frame adapted to fix the display arrangement on a supporting structure; a pixel matrix display having a display surface; a housing; wherein the support frame is arranged adjacent to the cover and an intermediate space, which is delimited by the support frame and the cover, is formed and is filled with a thermoplastic elastomer; wherein the cover and the support frame form a well, in which the pixel matrix display is accommodated; wherein a transparent adhesive layer is formed in the well between the display surface and the cover to fix the pixel matrix display on the cover, with the display surface being visible through the cover and the adhesive layer; wherein the housing fits over the pixel matrix display and is fixed on the support frame.
Vehicle Intercom System
A vehicle intercom system is provided. The system includes one or more housings. Each housing includes a speaker, a microphone, and a lighting element. At least one housing is secured to the exterior of a vehicle via a fastener. In one embodiment, the exterior housing is adjacent to the vehicle mirrors. At least one housing is securable within the vehicle's cabin via a fastener. The speakers are operably connected to the microphone. The one or more housings are in wireless communication with one another and all housings are in wireless communication with an actuator. The actuator is securable to an internal surface of the vehicle cabin. The actuator is configured to activate the speaker and the microphone on each housing to enable two-way audible communication, allowing the driver or passengers to easily communicate with individuals located outside of the vehicle.
ARRANGEMENT FOR MOUNTING AN OPTICAL SYSTEM ON A BODY ELEMENT OF A VEHICLE
An assembly is used to mount an optical system on a body element of a vehicle. The optical system comprises an image-capturing device and a device for projecting a fluid for cleaning the image-capturing device. The arrangement comprises a housing element for retaining the optical device in a mounting position, the housing element having an electrical interface configured to couple to an electrical connector of the image-capturing device when the latter is disposed in the mounting position, an element for holding the fluid projection device, and an element for fastening the housing element and the holding element to the body element of the vehicle.
Accessory such as a camera for mounting in a vehicle
A mount for mounting an accessory, the mount comprising: an attachment member to attach the mount to a support structure; and a mount coupling member configured to have a profile complementary to a corresponding accessory coupling member of an accessory to be coupled to the mount. The mount coupling member comprises a first material operative to couple to a second material of an accessory coupling member through an attractive force between the first material and second material; and wherein the attractive force is of a magnitude to permit slidable movement of the mount coupling member relative to an accessory coupling member while maintaining mechanical contact between the mount and an accessory. The first material comprises a complementary configuration with a second material of an accessory coupling member to permit a greater magnitude of the slidable movement in a first direction compared to a second direction transverse to the first direction.
TOY RETRIEVAL APPARATUS
A toy retrieval apparatus wherein the present invention is configured to facilitate retrieval of a fallen toy or similar object subsequent a child sitting in the rear seat of a vehicle dropping the toy and a passenger in the front seat can utilize the present invention to retrieve the toy. The toy retrieval apparatus includes a housing wherein the housing has a spring loaded winding member disposed in the interior volume thereof. The spring loaded winding member has a cord member secured thereto. The cord member has attached to the distal end an attachment member. The attachment member of the present invention is formed to releasably secure to a toy through either adherence to the outer cover of the attachment member or being secured with finger members of the attachment member. The attachment member includes a malleable metal structural insert member that provides bending of the finger members.
Evidence Storage Container for Vehicle
