Abstract: A vehicle configurable for air or road use (a flying car), comprising a body having road wheels for supporting the body when configured for road use; wings connected to the body and deployable for air use; and a tail section at the rear of the body, comprising at least one horizontal tailplane; wherein the at least one horizontal tailplane includes a planar rearmost edge section that is pivotable about an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle between a first position in which the plane of the rearmost edge section is substantially horizontal, and a second position in which the plane of the rearmost edge section is substantially vertical, and can function as a rear bumper in road use configuration.

Abstract: An aircraft, such as a flying car, comprising a body structure, lift structures (such as wings), control structures (such as fins, elevators, and ailerons), and a motor; a propeller connected to the motor and mounted for rotation about a drive axis to provide thrust; the propeller comprising a hub having a plurality of blades connected thereto; and a plurality of blade housings adjacent the propeller and extending substantially parallel to the drive axis; wherein the blades are mounted on the hub so as to be moveable between an expanded position in which the blades project radially from the hub, and a folded position in which each blade extends axially from the hub so as to lie in a respective blade housing.

Abstract: A head restraint assembly 10 is disclosed having an adjustable head restraint member 11 which is securable in position between a forward position and a rearward position by a helical coil locking member 14. The locking member 14 is, in a normally relaxed state, of smaller internal diameter than the external diameter of a transverse support rod 24 with which it is engaged. By rotation of one end portion 19 of the locking member 14 with respect to the other end portion 21 the locking member 14 is partially unwound thereby releasing its locking grip on the support rod 24.
