AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a device that prevents parking tickets from being blown off a vehicle's dashboard or falling into cracks between the wheel column and dashboard. It consists of a toy or doll, such as a bobblehead doll, with a clip or securing means attached, and a base that is securely attached to the vehicle's dashboard. The ticket is then secured in the securing means of the doll, making it easily visible for traffic officers. This system also prevents tickets from becoming dark after reacting with the chaotic weather. Overall, the invention helps avoid costly parking violation citations and ensures safe parking.

Problems solved by technology

If these tickets are simply left on the dashboard, under the windshield, as they frequently are left, they may become displaced or dislodged, or even be blown off the dashboard by the air gust from a closing door.

Another problem that exists with simply leaving parking tickets on the dashboard in hot weather is that, when the dashboard is especially hot, it may react with the paper and the ink used to print the ticket, and the ticket becomes dark and unreadable shortly after being placed on the dashboard.

Because of these numerous problems, the ticket cannot be observed by the traffic officer even though the vehicle operator paid for parking, which results in the issuance of an expensive parking violation citation.
