Abstract: A wind deflector for dispersing the wind out of the truck bed of a pickup truck includes a top plate a first panel hingedly connected to the top plate and a second panel hingedly connected to the first panel. The top plate is fixedly mounted on the tailgate of the pickup truck by a pair of bolts and pair of locking knobs are mounted on the second panel for removably securing the second panel to either the tailgate, or the floor of the truck bed. When the wind deflector is secured to the floor of the truck bed, the wind deflector serves to deflect away air that would normally hit up against the tailgate when the truck is moving. At the same time, the space between wind deflector and tailgate can be used as a storage compartment.

Abstract: A device for inserting a cork plug into a hole to a pre-determined depth, the hole having a diameter d and having been made in the concrete foundation of a building for termite control purposes, the device including in one embodiment a rod for partial insertion into the hole having a bottom end and a cross-sectional diameter less than d. A pin is mounted on the bottom end of the rod so that a cork plug may be mounted thereto. Depth-setting means having a length greater than d is mounted to said rod for varying the extent to which the rod may be inserted into the hole. In one variation of this embodiment, the rod has a plurality of transverse holes uniformly spaced along its longitudinal axis and the depth-setting means includes a depth-setting pin for removable insertion into one of the transverse holes and a depth-setting cap removably mounted to the depth-setting pin for use in securing the depth-setting pin in the selected transverse hole.
