20100142137Display screen mounting device and method - A support mount for a display screen such as a television or computer, comprises a length adjustable arm, which is recessed inside a wall. The system allows for the display screen to lay flatter and cleaner to the wall, and retract in and out. According to one embodiment, the arm includes a mounting element for the screen which allows for movement of the screen relative to the arm. According to a further embodiment, positioning of the screen may be electronically controlled.06-10-2010
20100163588Bicycle Lock Box - A storage device having a lockable container for securely storing small items, attaches to the support frame of a bicycle or pole-like structure, and further serves as a holder for a bicycle lock. According to a preferred embodiment, the bicycle attachment element is lockable and is attachable to the bicycle frame only when the container is in an open position. Once the lock box is locked, it cannot be removed from the bicycle frame. Another preferred embodiment has protrusions capable of holding a cable lock in place on the exterior of the lockable container.07-01-2010
20100163589Bicycle lock box - A storage device having a lockable container for securely storing small items, attaches to the support frame of a bicycle, and further serves as a holder for a U-shaped bicycle lock. According to a preferred embodiment, the bicycle attachment element is lockable and attachable to the bicycle frame only when the container is in an open position. Once the lock box is locked, it cannot be removed from the bicycle frame.07-01-2010
