Abstract: A tire traction enhancing device has a flexible rectangular body member with a plurality of protrusions extending outwardly and inwardly therefrom and a bungee type cord attached to each end. Assembly is by placing the body member on the tire tread surface, pulling the bungee type cord around the inner side of the tire such that the bungee type cord rests on the axle, and hooking the bungee type cord to itself at the outer tire sidewall. The inward protrusions project into the spaces in the tire tread and are sized to be passively held therein further securing the device on the tire. The outward protrusions add traction to the tire tread during rotation, and may form a standard tractor tread pattern, maximizing traction. The device is lightweight, portable, safe, compact, durable, easy to install and remove by one person without any additional tools or mechanical knowledge.

Abstract: A receptacle suitable for a mail box comprising an upright cylindrical housing having a transversely extending floor that is spaced upwardly a substantial distance from the lower end of the housing and a hemispherical top closing the upper end of the housing. A chamber to hold the mail is located between the floor and the top. A hinged door is attached to the housing and covers an opening formed in the side of the housing. Lag bolts are provided to detachably and firmly connect the housing to a post. Several holes are formed around the perimeter of the housing at the lower end thereof and well below the floor. Each hole is adapted to receive one of the lag bolts. There is also a hole formed in the center of the floor for receiving one of the bolts.
