Abstract: The invention is a broadcast vehicle constructed in the form of a fifth wheel vehicle. The vehicle walls are insulated to provide a sound proof broadcast studio. The vehicle is self contained with a generator power source, an extendable antenna, and a control access from inside and outside of the vehicle. Windows are constructed such that the bottom of the windows in the broadcast studio are off-set inward at the bottom of the window and slanted out to the top of the window such that a side impact to the vehicle will not break the double pane cushion mounted glass.

Abstract: A cover for protecting vehicles or structures from the damaging impact of hailstones or other falling objects. The cover includes a plurality of energy-absorbing rods disposed parallel and closely adjacent to one another along their long dimensions. The rods are substantially circular in cross section and made of a resilient material. The rods are held in their relative positions by an enclosing means, which may be two flexible sheaths made of a textile. The first and second sheaths are fastened together between and along the long dimensions of the rods, and at the perimeters of the sheaths, so as to enclose and hold the rods, forming the assembled cover. This construction allows the cover to be rolled up for easy storage. The cover has fastening means, such as flanges for tie downs, for attaching the cover to a vehicle to be protected.
