Abstract: A cover for covering a cross-member of an automotive vehicle rack has a body and a hole. The body has a rounded leading edge and a tapered trailing edge. The hole extends longitudinally through the length of the body and is sized to receive a cross-member. In a further embodiment, the body also has a slit extending radially outwardly from the hole to an outer surface of the cover and extending longitudinally along the length of the body providing a passage through which a cross-member may slide into the hole.

Abstract: A fluid ejector for discharging gases and fluids from an aircraft. The fluid ejector is fastened to an exterior surface of the aircraft and includes an air tube which is spaced apart from the exterior surface of the aircraft by a mast. Unwanted fluids and gases are evacuated from the aircraft through a conduit located inside the drain mast and are expelled from an outlet located in the side of the air tube. In this manner, the liquid or gases present at the outlet are discharged in a rearward direction away from the downstream portion of the aircraft by the airstream through the tube.
