  • Publication number: 20060150922
    Abstract: A portable pet transportation device that provides additional surface area and space for supporting and transporting a pet, and especially a medium or large size pet, on the seat of an automotive vehicle, includes a platform of a thin, lightweight, rigid configuration that is disposed on the vehicle's seat with a portion of the platform snugly inserted at the interface of the back rest and the seat rest of the seat, and an opposite portion of the platform projecting in a cantilevered manner past the seat and above the vehicle floor creating a storage space between the cantilevered portion and the vehicle floor with the platform configured so as to avoid damaging the vehicle seat when disposed thereupon and of sufficient size to accommodate thereon a typical pet nest, blanket or pet carrier for the pet to lie in.

  • Publication number: 20050128121
    Abstract: The Indash Car Stereo Combined With Speed Detection Device is generally comprised of a conventional indash automobile stereo system that has police radar detection capabilities. When police radar is detected, the stereo's volume is immediately muted. An audible alert is then outputted through the vehicle's speaker system or a built-in speaker on the control panel, or a combination of both, depending on how the driver has it configured. A visual alert is also produced on the control panel, which displays the band of radar that was encountered, and its relative signal strength. The radar detector receives signals from the vehicle's antenna and an auxiliary antenna. The auxiliary antenna is attached to the vehicle's grille. This improves the signal reception ability.

  • Publication number: 20040182329
    Abstract: A pet transportation device that provides additional space for the pet, in particular the medium and large size dog, while being transported in a typical motor vehicle. A thin, lightweight, rigid, device rests on the vehicle's seat. A portion of the device is snugly inserted between the seat and the backrest. A portion of the device extends over the foot rest area, which is otherwise not utilized during pet transport. The additional space allows the pet to be more comfortable and relaxed during pet transport. The device also helps protect the vehicle's seat from damage. A typical dog nest, blanket, or pet carrier can overlay the device to provide additional comfort for the pet.

  • Publication number: 20040055469
    Abstract: An air purification system comprised of a particulate filter element and activated carbon element that is secured to the vehicle's air inlet grille. Outside ambient air is therefore cleaned prior to it entering the vehicle's cabin. The air purification system is capable of removing allergens, dust, gasoline and diesel odors, particulates, and a wide range of other air pollutants. Purifying the ambient air as it comes into the vehicle's cabin promotes better health for the occupants and also keeps the interior of the vehicle clean. Changing the air purifying member is simple and relatively inexpensive.
