Abstract: An adjustable barrier device for securing a partial load in a load-carrying area of a vehicle has a rectangular panel of compressible material and at least two spaced, upper and lower elongate members of adjustable length extending across the width of the panel and attached to it. Each elongate member has feet for gripping engagement with opposite side walls of a load-carrying area when the elongate member is adjusted in length to fit across the area.

Abstract: A wiper blade assembly has an elongate carrier strip for supporting on a windshield wiper arm, a pair of spaced, flexible wiper blades depending parallel to one another from the carrier strip with a gap between the blades, and a cleaning member supported in the gap between the blades, the cleaning member having a base portion and a plurality of conical cleaning tips depending from the base portion. The cleaning tips are shorter than the wiper blades so that they do not contact a windshield surface until the wiper blades are deformed in a wiping action, and are more rigid than the blades.
