Abstract:
A ceiling mounted delivery device for use inside of a motor vehicle is disclosed, and according to the present invention, is designed to allow the safe, controlled delivery of items between seated passengers who are separated by distances greater than their personal reach. There are two present versions of this invention. The first version consists of an aluminum flat metal frame that roughly runs the length of the vehicle's ceiling. A pulley is affixed just fore and aft of the frame and a nylon string connects both pulleys together forming a pulley type conveyor delivery system. As the conveyor nylon string is manually moved, personal items attached to the string are transported from one end of the device/vehicle to the other. This pulley type conveyor delivery system utilizes two flat metal cross members designed to hold said frame onto the ceiling of the vehicle. The second version utilizes a rotatable screw gear drive conveyor delivery system. The rotatable screw gear runs the length of said conveyor delivery system. This rotatable screw gear drive conveyor delivery system is held along the length of the ceiling by two flat metal cross members. As the screw gear is rotated, a screw gear shuttle rides the length of the gear thus transporting attached personal items from one end of said conveyor delivery system to the other.
