Abstract: An impact resistant shingle is provided which includes an asphalt-coated substrate having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface having a headlap portion and an exposure portion. The headlap portion comprises a transition zone disposed at an edge region of the substrate distal to the exposure portion. The first surface of the substrate exclusive of the transition zone comprises granules, wherein the shingle has a smaller thickness dimension at the transition zone than a thickness dimension of a remaining area of the shingle.

Abstract: A portable shower stall is disclosed. The present invention is designed to utilize a conventional trailer receiving hitch by providing a portable bathing apparatus, otherwise similar in nature to those commonly suspended from overhanging objects, designed to be secured directly to a standard receiver hitch. A main frame, of a generally linearly elongated, rectangular, upstanding, L-shaped configuration slidably engage and fittingly secures inside of the square channel of a conventional receiver hitch typically found on a motor vehicle, such as a truck or camper, via a frictional fit. A trailer receiving hitch connecting means connects the present invention to the trailer hitch via locking means. A water container holding hook or similar device is located on the end of the vertical member, opposite the horizontal member. The water container holding hook is used to releasably secure a water container above the user's head. A valve is used to facilitate controlled release of the water from the water container.
