Abstract: A steering wheel cover has an inner core and an outer casing. The inner core has a series of alternating ribs and openings that together form a spring-like structure that more easily fits over a steering wheel while retaining its initial shape once installed.
Abstract: A fluid funnel includes an open-topped mouth for receiving DEF or other liquids from a jug or other source; an elongated hollow stem depending from the mouth for directing the fluids from the mouth into a DEF tank or other fluid receptacle; and a tapered throat that joins the mouth and stem. The funnel more effectively direct fluids into a tank, even when the funnel is tilted; inhibits fluids from backing-up into the mouth and/or spilling out of the funnel; prevents displaced air from bubbling up through fluids in the mouth; and more firmly engages and seats within a tank port.
Abstract: An auxiliary vehicle lighting system is provided for use in a vehicle having an engine and an electrical system. The auxiliary vehicle lighting system has at least one auxiliary vehicle light; a control hub, connected to the vehicle electrical system and to each auxiliary vehicle light; and a system shut down function or program, connected to the control hub and configured to de-energize the auxiliary lighting system. The control hub is constructed and arranged so that upon illumination of the auxiliary vehicle lights and with the engine turned off, the vehicle battery voltage is monitored. If the battery voltage reaches a designated low voltage target, the system shut down function or program is activated, which de-energizes the auxiliary lights.

Abstract: A steering wheel cover has an inner core and an outer casing. The inner core has a series of alternating ribs and openings that together form a spring-like structure that more easily fits over a steering wheel while retaining its initial shape once installed. The inner core requires significantly less material than conventional steering wheel cover cores.
Abstract: An ice scraper comprising a handle and a scraper head connected to the handle. The scraper head includes a proximal end, a distal end having a scraping edge, a scraping side, a chipping side, and at least three chipping teeth for chipping ice, hard snow, or frost from a curved surface. The chipping teeth extend outwardly from the chipping side. Each chipping tooth has a contact edge. At least one of the contact edges is offset forward or rearward of contact edges of two of the other chipping teeth so that at least one point of each contact edge can simultaneously contact the curved surface regardless of the scraper's position relative to the curved surface and regardless of a direction of the scraper.

Abstract: A seat cover comprises a seat bottom overlay configured to cover a seat bottom of a seat; a seat back overlay configured to cover a seat back of the seat; and an anchor system the keeps the seat bottom and back overlays in position on the seat. The anchor system comprises a rigid anchor; a drawstring sleeve on the seat bottom overlay or the seat back overlay; and a drawstring connected to the anchor and passing through the drawstring sleeve. When tightened, the drawstring urges the anchor against a rear of the seat to help hold the seat bottom overlay and seat back overlay in place on the seat.

Abstract: A pressure gauge broadly comprising a conduit, a pressure indicator, and a tip assembly. The tip assembly extends from the distal end of the conduit and includes an inner shaft, an annular seat, and an outer tip. The inner shaft engages a valve stem core of a valve. The annular seat cradles and provides support to the outer tip. The outer tip forms a seal against a valve stem tube of the valve and has an outer surface having a semi-spherical, dome, or frusto-conical shape for ensuring that the seal is formed regardless of the angle at which the tip engages the valve.
