A unitary elastomeric bracket structure is provided for supporting a fishing rod or the like on a planar mounting surface. The bracket structure comprises a base and a pair of arms defining a partly enclosed bracket cavity, the structure having a single central locus of securement to the mounting surface whereby the structure tends to pivot about its securement locus. The invention provides the improvement comprising base bottom wall means defining a recess centered on the securement locus and peripherally co-planar with the base. The recess-defining base bottom wall means is flexibly responsive in surface sealing relation against pivoting of the structure about its securement locus.

A panel such as instrument panel or door panel of a vehicle is integrally formed with a speaker supporter. The supporter comprises flat base part which has at one end thereof a catch portion into which a part of the speaker unit is slidably inserted to be caught; and slant parts connecting the flat base part to the major part of the panel in such an arrangement that the flat base part is parallelly spaced away from the major part of the panel.

A sterilization system attachable to an autoclave or in the form of a free-standing auxiliary unit adapted to receive cassette type sterilization containers for causing a high volume of air heated to an effective drying temperature to flow into said chamber at a high air flow rate. A control effective to open a valve when the unit for supplying heated air is operating and to close said valve when the unit is not operating. A device for supporting medical or dental instruments during sterilization is also disclosed.

A wrench rack includes a base having spaced apart rows of arm structures with corresponding pairs of arm structures serving to support a set of wrenches. A flexible biasing member of each arm structure is displaced upon wrench installation in the rack and urges the wrench into frictional engagement with an adjacent arm structure to prevent inadvertent release of the wrench. A flexible biasing member is, in one embodiment, embodied in a span of material while a modified arm structure has a flexible biasing member embodied in a distal end segment of the structure.

In combination a holder for an object and a console for a vehicle comprises a first groove formed on a planar surface of the console for receiving an object such as a writing instrument therein, a second groove formed in the console adjacent to the first groove, and a clip removably secured in the second groove and extending over the first groove for retaining the object in the first groove. The clip is preferably composed of a flexible, resilient material such as rubber, the second groove is elongate, and the clip is slidable along the second groove. Further, the second groove is preferably defined in the console at an incline relative to a surface of the console such that the upper portion of the clip projects a varying amount above the console as the clip is slid along the second groove such that different sized objects may be held thereby. Still further, the console preferably includes a projecting sidewall adjacent the second groove, and the projecting sidewall engages a face of the clip for stabilizing the clip.
