ATTACHMENT ASSEMBLIES, ATTACHMENTS, ATTACHMENT HARDWARE FOR SECURING ACCESSORIES TO WINDOW FRAMES OF VEHICLES, AND RELATED METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240010132 titled 'ATTACHMENT ASSEMBLIES, ATTACHMENTS, ATTACHMENT HARDWARE FOR SECURING ACCESSORIES TO WINDOW FRAMES OF VEHICLES, AND RELATED METHODS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for attachment hardware used to secure attachments to a window frame of a vehicle. The hardware includes a nut and a T-shaped washer with a top cross-bar section and a stem section. The T-shaped washer has a washer aperture, and there is also a fastener side washer with a washer aperture. A threaded fastener is used to insert through the washer apertures and engage the nut. The T-shaped washer is designed to fit through an engagement aperture in a tab extending from a windshield frame and make contact with the upper wall of the tab when the fastener is tightened.

  • The attachment hardware secures a mountable product to a vehicle's windshield window frame.
  • It includes a nut, a T-shaped washer, a fastener side washer, and a threaded fastener.
  • The T-shaped washer has a top cross-bar section and a stem section with a washer aperture.
  • The fastener side washer also has a washer aperture.
  • The threaded fastener is inserted through the washer apertures to engage the nut.
  • The T-shaped washer is designed to fit through an engagement aperture in a tab on the windshield frame.
  • When the fastener is tightened, the T-shaped washer contacts the upper wall of the tab.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Securing various mountable products to the window frame of a vehicle, such as GPS devices, phone holders, or cameras.
  • Ensuring the attachments are securely fastened to the window frame, providing stability and preventing movement during vehicle operation.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a secure and reliable method for attaching products to the window frame of a vehicle.
  • Prevents attachments from becoming loose or detached while driving, ensuring safety and functionality.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Easy installation and removal of attachments without damaging the window frame.
  • Versatile design allows for compatibility with various mountable products.
  • Provides a stable and secure attachment, reducing vibrations and potential damage to the product or window frame.


Original Abstract Submitted

attachments, attachment hardware for securing attachments to a window frame of a vehicle and related methods are disclosed herein. the attachment hardware for securing a mountable product to a window frame for a windshield of a vehicle can comprise a nut and a t-shaped washer comprising a top cross-bar section and a stem section extending downward from the top cross-bar section. the t-shaped washer can have a washer aperture therethrough. the attachment hardware can also comprise a fastener side washer having a washer aperture therethrough and a threaded fastener configured for insertion through the washer aperture of the fastener side washer and the washer aperture of the t-shaped washer and for screwingly engaging the nut. the top cross-bar section and the stem section of the t-shaped washer can be configured to fit through an engagement aperture in a tab extending from a frame of a windshield when turned at an angle to the engagement aperture and have a shape that contacts an upper wall of the tab that defines the engagement aperture when the threaded fastener is tightened in the nut.
