Abstract: An inductive pickup clip comprising two telescoping body portions between which is compressed a main body spring and within which are mounted respective core portions. When the clip is closed, said core portions define an opening adapted to receive therethrough an electric wire during use. The end portions of at least one core portion are spring loaded to prevent chipping or breakage of the core portions and to insure correct alignment of the cores when the clip is closed. A bi-stable latching mechanism is employed which, when latched, holds the clip closed, and when unlatched, permits the spring loaded telescoping body portions to assume an open configuration under the urging of the main body spring therebetween. Such a latching mechanism insures that when the slip is closed about the electric wire to be monitored, the user must close it against the force of the main body spring, thereby further preventing chipping or breakage of the core portions.

Abstract: Dual oncoming air spoilers for vehicles are mounted near the hood to deflect air carried bugs, rain, road spray, snow, and lightweight debris up and away from the windshield. They are provided essentially in a one embodiment kit having: two plastic panels; two bottom channels to respectively receive the two panels; four bendable and breakaway pre-drilled and countersunk brackets to be used in securing the bottom channels and their inserted bottom edges of the dual oncoming air spoilers to a front of a vehicle on or near the hood and standard fastener assemblies, all these components being assembled and installed using conventional hand tools for drilling access holes to receive the fastener assemblies and to secure them. By following selective installation procedures, the contents of this one embodiment kit are mountable on many different vehicles having many different hood widths and hood contour designs.
