  • Patent number: 9242416
    Abstract: An aerosol tire sealant and inflator assembly includes an aerosol bottle, a lid, an actuator, and a hose. The aerosol bottle has pressurized tire sealant and air housed therein. The lid has an actuator opening extending through the lid and a sloped locking lip extending from an inner wall. The locking lip includes a first portion and a second portion. The actuator is positioned within the actuator opening and rotatably coupled to the lid between a closed position and an open position. The actuator has a coupling and an actuator tab engaged with the first portion of the locking lip when the actuator is in the closed position and engaged with the second portion of the locking lip when the actuator is in the open position. The hose includes a coupling configured to couple to the actuator and a coupling configured to couple to a tire stem.

  • Patent number: 9126373
    Abstract: A tire puncture repair apparatus may include a handle, a puncture repair screw, and an integral neck between the handle and the puncture repair screw. The puncture repair screw may include a screw head, a cylindrical shaft extending from the screw head opposite the neck, a partially threaded and solid cone that uniformly narrows from the shaft to a tip opposite the shaft, and a conic-helical thread coiled about the cone between the tip and the shaft. The diameter of the shaft may be approximately equal to the diameter of the cone at the widest point of the cone. The thread on the cone may include an angled ridge and may be coiled around the cone from the intersection of the shaft and the cone to before tip of the cone.

  • Publication number: 20150217794
    Abstract: A steering wheel cover comprising a core layer is disclosed. The core layer includes an inner surface molded to form and self-maintain an annular channel sized to receive an automobile steering wheel therein. The core layer also includes an outer surface and two opposing terminating edges. The steering wheel cover is devoid of an outer cover layer coupled to the core layer. Thus no adhesives or stitching are required. In particular embodiments, the core layer includes a first foamed material, such as but not limited to ethyl-vinyl acetate. The core layer may also include one or more protrusions extending from the outer surface of the core layer. The protrusions may include a second foamed material of a different hardness than the first foamed material. The core layer may also include ribs protruding from the inner surface of the annular channel and/or holes extending through the core layer.

  • Patent number: 9039092
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method of manufacture and a structure for an automobile seat cover that includes a seat cover body with an outer perimeter, a seat cover skirt with a first edge sewn with an overlock stitch to the seat cover body for a majority of the outer perimeter, and a second edge, distal from the first edge, comprising a tie element extending for a majority of the second edge around a seat opening in the seat cover. A portion of the seat cover skirt and the seat cover body corresponding to a location of at least one airbag installed in an automobile seat cover over which the seat cover is to be placed are sewn together with one of a straight stitch and a lock stitch instead of the overlock stitch. In some implementations, the thread used is a brightly colored string.

  • Patent number: 8925594
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a structure for a portable tire inflator that includes a triangular housing comprising a triangular face, a triangular back, two sides extending between the triangular face and the triangular back on first and second sides of the triangular face and back, and a support base on a third side of the triangular face and back extending between the triangular face and the triangular back, a pump motor within the housing. The inflator may be configured such that a majority of the total weight of the portable tire inflator is positioned between the middle of the triangular face and the base. The tire inflator may also include a reflective border on at least two of three edges of the triangular face and an air pressure indicator responsive to air pressure within the air hose, the air pressure indicator visible on an external surface of the housing.

  • Patent number: 8578640
    Abstract: A license plate frame that allows for removable coupling of elements to the license plate frame. The license plate frame may include four borders that each include an outer frame lip and an inner frame lip extending outwardly from a rear surface of the license plate frame. The inner frame lip may include a plurality of equally sized notches adjacent one another. A removable element that includes a pin and a channel is removably coupled to the license plate frame by placing the pin within one of the plurality of notches and placing a portion of the outer frame lip within the channel of the removable element. The removable element may be moved by lifting the pin out of the notch and sliding the outer frame lip through the channel of the removable element before inserting the pin into a different notch.

  • Patent number: 8573046
    Abstract: A combined tread depth measurement tool and pressure gauge for treaded pneumatic tires includes a housing, an abutment surface, and a pneumatic pressure sensor. The pneumatic pressure sensor includes a measurement element with a graduated numerical indication of pneumatic pressure on at least one side and a colored indication of tire depth on at least one side. The colored indication includes at least three distinct colors, the three distinct colors each having widths corresponding to ranges of tread depths in reference to a terminal end of the measurement element. A combined tread depth measurement tool and pressure gauge for treaded pneumatic tires includes a body assembly and a spring clip. The body assembly includes a housing with three color bands having distinct colors, a pneumatic pressure sensor, and a measurement element. The spring clip includes a sliding portion and a clip portion with a tire engagement end.
