Device for supporting objects
| Details |
Inventors: Richter, Herbert;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Berger; Derek J.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Bach; Klaus J.
A device for supporting objects, especially objects such as utilized in vehicles, boats and the like, comprising a base adapted to be mounted on a substrate, for example, a dashboard or console, and a carrier member for supporting said objects and which includes means for retaining an object supported thereon securely in place. The carrier member and the base have formed thereon interlocking elements for interlocking the carrier member with the base, said interlocking elements being disengageable to permit removal of the carrier member from the base. The inter-locking elements are arrayed such to allow the carrier member to be mounted on and interlocked with the base in different posi-tions angularly displaced from one another. |
|
DETAILED DESCRIPTION The device according to the invention comprises a plate-like carrier member for supporting objects and which includes retaining means for holding the objects supported thereon firmly in place, and a base for removably supporting the carrier member, the carrier member and the base including interlocking means adapted to be engaged so as to interlock the carrier member with the base, and to be disengaged so as to release the carrier member for removal thereof from the base.
The interlocking means comprise a first array of interlocking elements disposed on the base, and a second array of inter-locking elements disposed on the carrier member, the arrangement being such as to enable the carrier member to be positioned on and interlocked with the base in different positions angularly displaced from each other.
In some of these angular positions, the carrier member is centered on the base when interlocked therewith; preferably, the base and the carrier member are provided with indicia for facilitating placement of the carrier for movement to the centered positions thereof.
The carrier member with the interlocking elements thereon, and the base with the interlocking elements thereon, are separate unitary structures which can be formed, such as molded, from a suitable plastics material.
The retaining means on the carrier member may comprise a tripod-socket screw and/or a suitable self-adhesive material, preferably self-adhesive foil.
In one of the preferred embodiments still to be described, the base includes a tilt section having said first array of interlocking elements disposed thereon, and in another embodiment it comprises a plate.
The improved device including these features is indeed simple and inexpensive to make, and it has great utility insofar as it can be readily adapted for use with a great variety of different kinds of objects, objects with tripod sockets, such as cameras and camcorders or the like, and various objects without tripod sockets, such as cup holders, writing pads, compasses, mobile-telephone holders, and many more
