Abstract: A single piece bug and gravel shield which avoids use of an elongated channel extrusion bracket for mounting, with the shield being a single-piece, transparent polymeric material having an upper shield deflecting portion joined at a shoulder to a thicker lower base portion, with the shield being a transparent flexible polymeric plastic material and further having structure for attaching the base portion to the front edge of a vehicle to deflect air current up and over the vehicle.

Abstract: A tool box designed to be size adjustable and for disassembly for easy storage and shipment. It has a removable center compartment and a pair of preferably identical end storage compartments adapted for conforming, straddle bed fitting in the bed of a pickup. The center section may be used for wide bed tool boxes, and may be removed for narrow bed tool boxes, and as well may be removed for storage. Thus, significant advantages of the three-piece straddle bed tool box are achieved.

Abstract: An air current deflector shield with an improved shield gripping bracket is disclosed. The shield member comprises a single piece of unbroken transparent material which is received into an elongated rigid bracket having forward walls, a bottom wall and a rearward wall which define a shield receiving channel. Below the bottom wall is a means for adjustably receiving securing straps which allow the straps when not secured, to be moved at will along the longitudinal axis of the bracket, providing for complete adjustability as to where the attaching straps are connected to the forward grill and/or hood portion of an automobile.
Abstract: A device for reclaiming heat from stove pipes and the like. A semi-circular shaped hollow enclosed housing with a highly thermal-conductive concave surface is mounted contactingly to surround approximately one-half of the circumference of the stove pipe. The concave surface is formed to contact the pipe at a maximum number of points along that surface. The hollow interior of the housing contains thin multi-surfaced projections which are integral with the concave surface and conductively transfer heat from the stove pipe and concave surface to heat the air in the housing. A fan blower is attached via an air conduit to an entrance opening in the housing. When turned on, the blower pushes the heated interior air out a plurality of air exit openings in the ends of the housing and brings in lower temperature outside air for heating.
