Abstract: An invention made from three fabric covered panels for supporting and protecting pets and cargo in the back seat of an automobile. Bottom and front rigid panels fold into an "L" shape by the inclusion of a fold line in a single rigid material enclosed in a fabric pouch. The bottom and front panels extend over and close off the lower floor compartment and front seat opening, therefore, preventing the pet or cargo from falling forward into these areas of the automobile. Continuous fabric straps attach to and extend from the fabric pouch providing structural integrity to the invention in its installed position by securing to specific attachment points of the automobile. The bottom and front rigid panel also have a removable rigid material for cleaning of the fabric portion.
Abstract: A burner construction which comprises a woven metal fabric supported on and surrounding a cylindrical metal support member which has openings along its length and around its periphery. A gas supply tube extends from an entrance end axially into the support member and forms an annular space therebetween. The gas supply tube is provided with openings in its periphery at the entrance end and is impervious at its periphery at the opposite. Gas enters the burner through the supply tube and into the annular space through the openings in the gas supply tube. Gas thereafter flows through the support member openings and through the woven metal fabric and is combusted at the outer surface of the metal fabric.
