Abstract
A device for displaying a parking permit and attaching the permit to a rear view mirror of a vehicle. The device may include a hook and pocket formed of a single piece of substantially rigid and transparent plastic material. The hook may be formed as an open loop on a first end of the device. The hook may extend to the pocket to form a first planar wall. The second end of the device may be folded to form a second planar wall that is substantially parallel to the first planar wall. The parking permit may be positioned between the first planar wall and the second planar wall. The rigidity of the device prevents the device from falling off of the rear view mirror so that the permit can be seen through the vehicle windshield.
Claims28
A device for supporting a display on a rear view mirror of a vehicle, said rear view mirror having a post for connecting said mirror to said vehicle, said device comprising:
- a hook configured to receive said post for hanging said device;
- a pocket connected to said hook, said pocket configured for receiving said display;
- and
- wherein said hook is formed of a rigid material such that said display is supported in said pocket without deforming said hook.
A device for supporting a display, said device comprising:
- a hook configured to receive a support for hanging said device;
- a pocket integrally connected to said hook, said pocket configured for receiving said display, said pocket comprising a unitary member forming a first planar wall and a second planar wall, said first planar wall and said second planar wall being connected only at a fold along a bottom portion of said device;
- and
- wherein said pocket is formed of a transparent material such that said display may be viewed through said pocket.
A method for forming a display support, said method comprising the steps of:
- a) obtaining a single piece of transparent material having sufficient rigidity to support the weight of said display support and the weight of a display without substantial deflection;
- b) forming a hook in a first end of said transparent material;
- and
- c) forming a fold in said transparent material to define a pocket having a first planar wall co-planar with said hook, and a second planar wall substantially parallel with said first planar wall.
A device for supporting a display on a rear view mirror of a vehicle, said rear view mirror having a post for connecting said mirror to said vehicle, said device comprising:
- a hook configured to receive said post for hanging said device, said hook formed as an open loop;
- and
- a pocket for receiving said display, said pocket integrally connected to said hook and comprising a unitary member forming a first planar wall and a second planar wall, said first planar wall and said second planar wall being connected only at a U-shaped fold along a bottom portion of said device;
- wherein said hook is formed of a substantially rigid material such that said display is supported in said pocket without deforming said hook;
- wherein said first planar wall is formed co-planar with said hook, and said second planar wall is substantially parallel with said first planar wall;
- wherein a length of said second planar wall is less than a length of said first planar wall to provide a space between an end of said second planar wall and said hook;
- and
- wherein said device is formed of a transparent material such that said display can be viewed through said first planar wall and said second planar wall.
