1. The item described is a cup holder that is designed specifically for Mini Cooper automobiles. Its purpose is to provide a cup holder with easier accessibility and greater safety than the factory cup holders.
The manufacturer design has created problems when using the cup holder. They are located in a position where other controls ie. heated seat switches, door lock switch, window switches and traction control switches, can be accidentally activated when putting a cup in the holder. These actions can cause a distraction which can resulting an accident or loss of vehicle control in foul weather if traction control is accidentally shut off. The other problem is that the factory design is for a small cup or a soda can. It will not accommodate larger cups or travel mugs. My design is located on the drivers door at a very ergonomic position. It is easily accessible and located in a safe location away from any switches. Driver does not need to look away from the road to locate drink. It will be right next to left hand and will allow the driver to focus on driving without any distraction. |
