Abstract: A solar shield apparatus for an automobile windshield includes a housing having a bottom wall and plurality of side walls that define an interior area. The housing is removably coupled to a mounting base via mounting brackets such that the housing is selectively released from the mounting base when the mounting base is coupled to a cabin ceiling of the automobile adjacent the windshield. A solar shield panel having a flexible and tinted construction is movable by a spool in the housing between retracted and deployed configurations. A guide channel extending downwardly from the housing along a side of the windshield guides the solar shield panel when being deployed or retracted. The solar shield panel may be motorized via actuation buttons or moved manually. A mechanical retraction assembly may be coupled to the spool to enable spring-actuated means for retracting the shield panel.

Abstract: A configurable massaging apparatus includes a mattress having opposed bottom and top surfaces and side walls connecting perimeter edges of the bottom and top walls that, together, define an interior area. The mattress includes cushioning material. The massaging apparatus includes a framework having a plurality of spaced apart massage rails situated in the interior area, each massage rail extending substantially between two opposed side walls of the mattress and defining a channel assembly along a top side thereof. A plurality of massage assemblies is coupled to the plurality of massage rails, respectively, each massage assembly being configured for movement along a respective channel assembly of a respective rail as directed by a remote control. Drive motors are coupled to respective massage assemblies causing a respective massage assembly to move along a respective massage rail when energized.
