A cup holding assembly for use in vehicles includes a strap having upper and lower ends, a cup holder, a support means for supporting the cup holder on the strap, at least one mounting means for mounting the assembly to any of a number of interior vehicle structures, and a leveling means for adjusting the orientation of the cup holder with respect to the vehicle. A first mounting means is provided adjacent the upper end of the strap, and includes a tongue protruding downward from the upper end, the strap and the tongue defining a hook, a suction cup, and a clip means for clipping the suction cup to the upper end. The first mounting means allows the assembly to be mounted to a door of the vehicle having a shiftable window and space for receiving the shiftable window. A second mounting means may be provided adjacent the lower end, and includes a mounting clip which engages a headrest support for mounting the assembly on the headrest support. A third mounting means includes a suction cup, and a coupling structure for coupling the suction cup to the strap. The third mounting means may be used to mount the assembly on a window or other non-porous surface. The support means includes transverse fingers on the strap which frictionally engage notches on the cup holder. The transverse fingers are configured so that the strap may be reversed, thereby reversing the upper and lower end of the strap with respect to the cup holder.

A fastener is formed with an elongated threaded portion defined by a central shank and a thread formed on the shank, a neck collinear with the shank, and a head provided with a recess adapted to receive a tool for rotating the fastener. The shank of the threaded portion includes a cylindrical body and a tapered penetrating point extending longitudinally from the body. The thread is provided with a constant diameter section along the cylindrical body and a tapered section along the tapered penetrating point. The constant diameter section defines a major diameter that is more than about double the minor diameter defined by the body of the shank. The thread defines a pitch greater than the cross-sectional thickness of the thread along the shank so that the cylindrical shank is exposed within each pitch of the thread.

Protective eyewear having a wrap-around type lens and a frame which surrounds the upper and side edges of the lens. The frame includes a slot to receive the lens, and the slot has spaced pawls within the slot. The lens includes mating detents within the face of the lens to receive the pawls and thus retain the lens to the frame. The lateral edges of the frame include upper and lower struts and a bracing bar extends vertically between the struts to define an airflow opening. Rearward of the bracing bar a paint hinge posts extend from the struts in coaxial spaced opposed relation. The temple for the eyewear includes a hinge end having a pivot hole for receiving the hinge posts. The pivot hole includes a cutout with a height corresponding to that of one of the hinge posts, and a width slightly less than that of this hinge post. The temple may thus be mounted and removed from the hinge posts by inserting a first hinge post into the hinge hole, and then snapping the cutout over the remaining hinge post. Where a goggle configuration is preferred, looped ends of an elastic band may be placed over the hinge posts. To increase airflow and/or increase eye protection, a deflector may be removably connected over the airflow opening to guide air behind the lens. The deflectors may be employed with either the temples or the elastic band.

A universal cup holder (10) for use in vehicles comprising a base (12) having a pair of fixed upright arms (14,16); an adjustable unit (18) shiftably carried by the base (12), the adjustable unit (18) including a pair of upright arms (20,22) which are shiftable toward and away from the fixed arms (14,16) whereby to permit the creation of a cup receiving area (24) of differing sizes within the confines of the arms (14,16,20,22) with open spaces (26,28,30,32) being between all of the arms for receiving the handle, if present, on the container positioned within the cup receiving area (24). Incremental shifting of the unit (18) is permitted by a ratcheting pawl assembly (56) which, once the cup receiving area (24) has been defined may be locked by means (64) to retain the area (24) in its desired dimension.
