This invention relates to devices and means to retain, to hold or to grip securely coins, keys, jewerly and other such like items, and more particularly to hold coins in readiness for automobile drivers who must often pay highway and bridge tolls. The main embodiment of the present invention is to provide a pocket-like or a lip-like extruded section or clamping device, preferably made of resilient plastic or rubber. Various lengths of such an extruded section may then be glued or otherwise secured to strategic places to support quarters or dimes or half dollars near the driver's seat and within easy reach of the driver. Such extruded sections may be directly built or formed as an integral part of the inner body of the automobile itself in the process of manufacture or may be attached to the automobile's inner walls or upon the door frame near the stearing wheel or upon the dash-board of the car, or in the flooring space near the reach of the driver's hand so that the driver need only reach out to grasp the necessary coin, pull it effortlessly from its retainer and hand it over to the toll attendant.
An article support comprising a strip of resilient material forming a base, a first and second pair of resilient arcuate-shaped members attached to said base and each forming a slot for receiving coins, a pair of spaced V-shaped parallel channels formed in the base and separated by a flat strip portion, each pair of arcuate-shaped members being parallel to the channels and located on the outer boundaries thereof.
