  • Patent number: 6068345
    Abstract: A portable wheel mask suitable for position placement in close proximity to the face of a wheel on which a mounted tire is to be cleaned. The mask comprises a flexible but durable body of fabric composition that is collapsible from an open taut relation to a collapsed relation for storage. A handle secured to the backside of the body enables supporting the mask in place while a pocket on the inside surface of the body enables the valve stem of the tire to be received during such time as the mask is being utilized for protecting the wheel face against available forms of tire cleaning products.

  • Patent number: 4660837
    Abstract: A golf tee setting apparatus for inserting and presetting the height of golf tee on which a golf ball to be supported is comprised of an all polymer plastic construction that includes a tubular sleeve-like body and a plunger internally displaceable within the body and adapted to releasably support a golf tee to be inserted. The body includes a pair of oppositely aligned longitudinal slots which in communication therewith are a plurality of separate apertures of a geometric configuration able to effect a longitudinal interlock with an appropriately shaped protrusion received therein. Extending connected from the plunger is a pair of elongated longitudinal arms each terminating at its distal end with a lateral protrusion adapted to be received in a selected one of the apertures. By inwardly squeezing a finger grip extending outward of each of the arms the protrusions can be displaced inwardly to release the interlock and enable the plunger to be adjustably positioned relative to the base plane of the body.
