  • Patent number: 9349514
    Abstract: A vehicle door handle cover includes a flexible waterproof sheet and a flexible waterproof handle attached to the sheet. The handle may be removable, and preferably has a length that is longer than the length of the sheet, such that the handle is retained in an outwardly bowed position in use. Magnets connected to the sheet adhere to a metal vehicle body to attach the cover to the vehicle in a removable manner. The magnets may be retained within first and second magnet holders that are inserted into pockets formed in the sheet. Barbs formed on the holders help retain the holders within the pockets. Each magnet is positioned with the polarity of the magnet in the same direction, and the magnets on the holders align such that the holders attract one another, allowing the vehicle door handle cover to be folded into a storage position.

  • Patent number: 8919620
    Abstract: A long handled sock donning tool includes a handle portion adapted to be gripped by a user and an opposing sock engaging portion. The sock engagement portion includes first and second flanges spaced from an elongated support by first and second spacers. Each of the flanges include a sock engagement arm for retaining a sock thereon, and an opposing stabilizing arm for supporting the tool during the mounting of the sock onto the tool. First and second rubber sock gripping portions help retain the sock on the tool. Once an upper portion of a sock is folded over the sock gripping portions, a user's foot can be inserted into the sock comfortably without being forced into contact with a hard plastic wall of the tool. Additionally, the tool can be used as a shoe horn by fitting one of the first and second flanges into the heel of a shoe.
