Device For Securing Items To A Vehicle
US Patent:
6318612, Nov 20, 2001
Filed:
Jan 31, 2000
Appl. No.:
9/494677
Inventors:
David F. MacNeil - Hinsdale IL
International Classification:
B60R 700
US Classification:
224572
Abstract:
A device for fastening an item to a vehicle comprising a strap having a first end, a middle portion, and a second end, and a cross-piece comprising a first end, a middle portion, and a second end. The middle portion of a the cross-piece is attached to the second end of the scrap. The first and second ends of the cross-piece include hook and loop portions respectively, for fastening one end of the cross-piece to the other. When in use, the second of the scrap is wrapped around a portion of a vehicle. Fastening components such as male and female buckle portions are used to secure the item to the vehicle. Excess material on the second end of the strap is rolled upon itself, leaving the first and second ends of the cross-piece exposed. The first and second ends of the cross-piece are then fastened to each other around at least a portion of the role material leaving no excess material exposed to when the vehicle is in motion.
Thermoformed Vehicle Floor Tray With Tread-Containing Reservoir
US Patent:
7784848, Aug 31, 2010
Filed:
Jun 3, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/477202
Inventors:
David F. MacNeil - Hinsdale IL, US
Assignee:
MacNeil IP LLC - Downers Grove IL
International Classification:
B62D 25/20
US Classification:
296 9723, 15215
Abstract:
A vehicle floor tray is molded from a thermoplastic polymer sheet such that it has high shear and tensile strength, an acceptable degree of stiffness and a high coefficient of friction on its upper surface. The floor tray has first, second, third, and fourth sidewalls integrally formed with the floor, which has a reservoir. The reservoir has a plurality of longitudinally and transversely oriented baffles standing up from the general surface of the reservoir portion to impede lateral movement of water.

International Classification:
B62D 25/20
US Classification:
296 9723, 296 391
Abstract:
A product line of consumer-installable thermoformed vehicle floor trays has first and second floor trays for insertion into first and second driver's side vehicle foot wells. The first and second vehicle foot wells have a different shape from each other. The first and second floor trays each have a floor that substantially conforms to the floor of its respective vehicle foot well. Each tray also has an upstanding transverse first panel, an upstanding longitudinal second panel connected to the first panel, and an upstanding longitudinal third panel connected to the first panel. Each upstanding panel is integrally formed with the floor of the tray and conforms to the walls of its respective foot well.

International Classification:
B62D 25/20
US Classification:
296 9723, 296 391
Abstract:
A vehicle floor tray thermoformed from a sheet of thermoplastic polymeric material includes a floor substantially conforming to a floor of a vehicle foot well, a first panel integrally formed with the floor of the tray and upwardly extending from a transversely disposed lateral side of the floor of the tray, and a second panel integrally formed with the floor of the tray and the first panel and upwardly extending from a longitudinally disposed lateral side of the floor of the tray. A third panel is integrally formed with the floor of the tray and to one of the first and second panels. For each panel, at least ninety percent of at least one-third of the first outer surface of the tray wall which is adjacent to the respective top margin of the wall is no more than one-eighth of an inch from the upper surface of the foot well.

Assignee:
MacNeil IP LLC - Bolingbrook IL
International Classification:
B60N 3/06
US Classification:
296 75, 296 9723
Abstract:
A vehicle floor tray is thermoformed from a polymer sheet of substantially uniform thickness. The tray has a central panel and at least first and second upstanding side panels joined to the central panel by curved transitions. Within a reservoir disposed in the central panel are plural, hollow treads/baffles. The treads/baffles have a width, in any horizontal direction, which is more than twice the substantially uniform thickness of the tray as thermoformed. The treads/baffles impede lateral motion, due to changes in vehicle speed or direction, of liquid collected in the reservoir.
