A removable holder for a smart phone is provided to support the smart phone in front of a driver on a steering wheel. Close proximity of the smart phone allows easy access and good visibility of its display which helps in using the GPS navigation or other features of a smart phone while the vehicle is in motion. Retention of the smart phone assures its steady position when the steering wheel is turned but at the same time allows for its deflection out of the way in case of an airbag deployment. The attachment element of the holder includes two raised bars and an elastic band to form a 3-point contact area with the steering wheel. The smart phone retainer is length-adjustable to accommodate a variety of smart phones. The holder can be easily mounted and removed from the steering wheel without using hand tools. |

A bicycle sound generator manufactured using a thin, deformable, plastic material. The sound generator is wrapped around an attachment location, such as a bicycle fork, and secured using a fastener. In an exemplary embodiment, the fastener is a cable tie with a one-way tightening mechanism to prevent the sound generator from coming loose once it has been attached at the attachment location. The sound generator may be rotated about the attachment location to come into an engagement position where a free-end portion of the sound generator makes contact with the spokes of a rotating wheel. When no sound is desired, the sound generator may be rotated such that the free-end portion is disengaged from the spokes and produces no sound. Graphical images, such as decorations, team logos, political messages and the like may be added to the sound generator. |

In a structure of accommodating a CD changer, in which the CD changer biased for turning toward a protruding position is covered with a lid plate closing an open end of an accommodating recess in a state in which the CD changer is in an accommodated position, an engagement portion is provided on the lid plate mounted to a support frame so that it can be slid between a disengaged position and an engaged position. A locking portion is provided on each of base plates so that the locking portion engages with the engagement portion in a state in which the lid plate is at the engaged position, and the engagement with the engagement portion is released in response to the sliding of the lid plate toward the disengaged position. A locking mechanism capable of locking the lid plate in the engaged position and releasing the locked state by a manual operation is provided between the lid plate and the support frame. Thus, it is possible to ensure that the CD changer cannot be turned undesirably to the protruding position. |

A CD changer support device mountable in a trunk forming a luggage compartment of a motorcycle, includes a storage recess to store a CD changer. The storage recess is provided in a luggage compartment-forming wall of the trunk. A swing support device allows the CD changer to swing between a protruding position where the opening of the CD changer protrudes inside the luggage compartment and a storage position where the CD changer is stored within the storage recess. A cover plate covers the CD changer. When the CD changer is in the storage position, the cover plate blocks the opening of the storage recess so as to be flush with the inner surface of the luggage compartment-forming wall. When an operating force is applied to the swing support device, the CD changer swings between the protruding position and the storage position. |
