Abstract

A suspension device attached to a surface, such as the back side of a motor vehicle rear-view mirror, having apertures from which to hang item including blue tooth ear pieces, sunglasses and charging cables. The device is suspended from at least two suspenders which are rigid. The suspension device resists sway. A container is received at the suspension device to contain articles such as an ipod.

c. a substantially planar attachment tab (1300) affixed by tab attachment means at each of the suspender attachment ends (1230);

the attachment tab (1300) having an attachment tab surface (1305);

attachment tab surface (1305) surface affixing means affixed by surface affixing means at the attachment tab surface (1305).

3. The suspension storage device (1) of claim 2 further comprising:

a. the storage device (1000) formed from a rigid or semi-rigid material;

the leading edge (1100) being straight, semi-circular or swept back in form;

the at least one hanging aperture (1140) comprised of at least two hanging apertures (1140);

4. The suspension storage device (1) of claim 3 further comprising:

a. the rigid or semi-rigid material forming the storage device (1000) composed of plastics, metals and composite materials;

the at least one scallop (1170) concave;

one of the at least two hanging apertures (1140) proximal the first side (1110) and one of the at least two hanging apertures (1140) proximal the second side (1112);

b. one of the at least two suspenders (1200) (1205) affixed by suspender storage device end affixing means to the storage device (1000) at or proximal to the leading edge (1100) proximal the first side (1110) and distal to the second side (1112);

one of the at least two suspenders (1200) (1205) affixed by suspender storage device end affixing means to the storage device (1000) at or proximal to the leading edge (1100) proximal the second side (1112) and distal to the first side (1110);

c. surface affixing means comprised of attachment Velcro (1310) affixed by Velcro affixing means to each of the attachment tabs (1300) and engagable with mating Velcro affixing means at a mounting surface, for example the back side of a vehicle rear view mirror.

5. The suspension storage device (1) of claim 4 further comprising:

a. the trailing edge (1160) having at least two scallops (1170);

a leading edge structural support (1120) proximal to or coincident with the leading edge (1100);

at least one hanging aperture (1140) having a hanging aperture structural support (1145);

at least one suspender brace (1220) affixed by brace affixing means to each of the at least two suspenders (1200);

b. the leading edge (1100) is swept back in form.

6. The suspension storage device (1) of claim 5 further comprising:
