Abstract: A set of tire change lights for illuminating the tires of an automotive vehicle during a tire-changing operation comprises four lights, each of which is mounted near the wheel well above a different one of the vehicle's tires. Each light includes a light source, such as a light bulb, which may be mounted inside a reciprocable lamp housing or on the inner surface of a pivotable door, either of which enables the light to be moved from a concealed position within the body of the car to an external position suitable for illuminating a tire. The light source is electrically connected in series to the battery of the vehicle by means of a normally open control switch which closes to activate the light source when the light is in its external position and opens to deactivate the light source when the light is in its concealed position.

Abstract: A beverage holder for mounting in an automobile includes a substantially U-shaped jacket having a curved front portion, an open back portion, and a top opening for receiving a conventional beverage container. A pair of hooks or similar fasteners is provided on the free ends of the jacket for demountably securing the holder to the louvers of the air conditioning and heating unit of the automobile. Spacing is provided between the beverage container and the jacket to allow cooled or heated air from the air conditioning and heating unit to circulate around the beverage, thus keeping a cold drink cold during summer or a hot drink hot during winter.

Abstract: A set of tire change lights for illuminating the tires of an automotive vehicle during a tire-changing operation comprises four lights, each of which is mounted near the wheel well above a different one of the vehicle's tires. Each light includes a light source, such as a light bulb, which is mounted inside a lamp housing. The lamp housing, in turn, is mounted for manual or automatic reciprocation from a retracted position within a concealed stationary mounting case in the body of the vehicle to an extended position outside of the vehicle. The bottom wall of the lamp housing is provided with a lens which allows light from the light source to illuminate the area around the tire. The light source is electrically connected in series to the battery of the vehicle by means of a normally open control switch which closes to activate the light source when the lamp housing moves into its extended position and opens to deactivate the light source when the lamp housing moves into its retracted position.
