Abstract: A vehicle bumper that also serves as a towing and/or tugging receiver includes a U-shaped member having first and second ends and a midpoint therebetween. The first and second ends provide respective upper attachment points for attaching the bumper to the vehicle. The bumper further includes a triangular brace having first and second vertices that provide respective lower attachment points for further attaching the bumper to the vehicle, and a third vertex joined with the midpoint of the U-shaped member. A towing receiver is joined with the triangular brace for towing a wide range of payloads.

Abstract: A container used to transport and protect cylindrical consumable items is disclosed. This invention has reinforced walls made of a strong plastic material, a large latch that is easy to open, a gasket seal, and a removable insert with contoured inner chambers that reduce the amount of movement the contents of the case can go through during travel. Once the insert is removed the container becomes a crafting station for cylindrical consumables and the insert becomes a stand holder for crafted cylindrical consumables.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for preventing de-bonding of insulation from a propellant container surface. When assembled to a propellant container, the container includes a substrate having an outer surface, a base material having an overall rough outer surface relative to the outer surface of the substrate, and an adhesive material adhering the base material to the substrate. Alternately, the base material may be welded to the outer surface of the substrate.
