Patent Images
1. A transponder holder for supporting a transponder on a support surface of a vehicle comprising:
- a housing including a housing interior;
a transponder mounting plate adapted to support a transponder, the mounting plate being movably attached to the housing; and
an actuator disposed on the housing for moving the mounting plate relative to the housing between a first position in which the mounting plate is positioned proximate to a front face of the housing and a second position in which the mounting plate is spaced a distance away from the front face.

Abstract
Exemplary embodiments are directed to a transponder holder for controlling the readability of a transponder by an interrogator. Embodiments of the transponder holder can be removable mounted to a support structure, such as a windshield of a motor vehicle. The transponder can be supported by a plate of the transponder holder, which can be moved to position the transponder in a readable position and an unreadable position to allow a user to select whether the transponder is readable by an interrogator.

12. A transponder holder comprising:
-
a plate adapted to receive a transponder thereon, the plate being selectively movable with respect to the housing, the plate including a plurality of pins extending therefrom; a pair of spaced guide members including a plurality of slots formed therein, the plate pins extending into the slots wherein the movement of the plate is guide by a cooperation between the pins and the slots; and an actuator operatively coupled to the plate for moving the plate between a first position in which the plate is positioned at a front end of the guide members and a second position in which the plate is positioned at a back end of the guide members. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

27. A selectively readable transponder comprising:
-
transponder holder including a housing defining a housing interior, a plate moveably attached to the housing, an actuator disposed on the housing for moving the plate between a first position in which the plate is proximate to a front face of the housing and a second position in which the plate is displaced into the housing away from the front face; and a transponder adapted to communicate with a remote interrogator, the transponder being secured to the plate, wherein the transponder is rendered readable by the interrogator when the plate is in the first position and rendered unreadable when the plate is in the second position. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29)
