Abstract: Two rigid fasteners each with integrally coupled magnets of opposing polarity on an outer surface thereon. The rigid fasteners also each have a spring-loaded displaceable clip member rotatably coupled thereto, wherein the clip member is operably configured to open and close to provide access to an aperture defined by the rigid fasteners. The fasteners are coupled together with a tether member also of a rigid material, wherein the fasteners are configured to selectively couple and uncouple together with the magnets thereon.

Abstract: A multi-layered protective cover (10) for the exterior of a vehicle, held in place over the hood by means of a main strap (12), a main strap lock (14), and an underside lock (16). Rounded pad (20) forms a frame along the perimeter of a vehicle. For easy entry or exit, latch on rounded pad (22), Velcro.RTM cover (24), zipper (26), and fasteners (28) are provided. Along an upper frame (34), insulated wire (36) is connected from panel to panel by an electrical plug (30), and an electrical socket (32). Electromagnets, consisting of an iron bar (38) and an iron head (40) are inlaid in a rubber layer (42). A lower frame (44) provides support for a bullet-proof layer (46) and a water-proof layer (48). When current flows to the electromagnets, the cover is affixed to a body of vehicle (50).

Abstract: An expanding grass or weed inhibitor around a growing tree or shrub trunk with a series of overlapping, semi-circular wings (16) attached to the base (10), rotating via multiple pivot bolts (18). With an expanding trunk (14) diameter, the pressure of the trunk forces the semi-circular winds to move away from the trunk. Due to the overlapping of the semi-circular wings, their mutually-applied pressure blocks sturdier grass or weeds from uplifting the wings (16) or permeating the base (10). Along the perimeter of the base (10), a barrier wall (12) prevents the semi-circular wings from rotating too far respective to the trunk (14). For the purpose of mounting, base (10) pivots via a pivot bolt (18) while opening along slit at pivot side of base (26). On the opposite side of the base (10), slit at opening side of base (24) opens to account for a wide range of trunk diameters. To secure the base (10), lockable bolt (20) transects a hole connecting to lockable bolt (22).
