  • Publication number: 20140125083
    Abstract: A removable cargo liner for use in a vehicle cargo area that includes a cargo surface having varying topography. The removable cargo liner includes at least one panel that is positionable in the vehicle cargo area. The panel has a first surface and an opposing second surface—the second surface being adjacent to the cargo surface. The first surface of the panel defines a first topography and the second surface defines a second topography. The second topography is substantially identical to the first topography. The first topography and the second topography are also substantially identical to the varying topography of the cargo surface of the vehicle cargo area. The removable cargo liner also includes a fastening member that at least selectively couples the panel to the cargo surface of the vehicle cargo area.

  • Patent number: 8662559
    Abstract: A removable cargo liner for use in a vehicle cargo area. The removable cargo liner comprises an upper cargo liner layer being positionable in the cargo area of a vehicle and a lower layer being made of a dual purpose, nonwoven, needle punch fiber having a loop feature. The lower layer is fixedly coupled to the upper cargo liner layer. The lower layer provides a generally non-abrasive contact interface with the vehicle cargo area. An intermediate layer made of a compliant material is coupled between the upper cargo liner layer and the lower layer such that the coupling of the lower layer to the upper cargo liner layer is via the intermediate layer. A single-sided member is connectable to the cargo area defining a hook feature, such that the hook feature of the single-sided member is releasably coupled to the loop feature of the lower layer.

  • Patent number: 5977176
    Abstract: Compositions comprising propolis, propolis and salicylic acid, or propolis and either a corticorsteroid such as hydrocortisone or a halogenated corticosteroid with or without salicylic acid, are effective in the treatment of warts and in the treatment of herpesviruses. Compositions with corticosteroids are more effective than propolis alone because they reduce inflammation associated with viruses causing warts or herpes eruptions.

  • Patent number: 5806909
    Abstract: A removable, separable rug for the cargo area of a vehicle such as a pickup truck or a van comprises interattachable panels. The panels include a pair of side walls, a front wall, a back wall, and a floor. One or more of the panels may be selectively used at a time. The panels may be composed of a resiliently soft material such as an expanded plastic or a closed-cell polyethylene foam or may be a laminated, bi-layered pad comprising an upper layer of carpeting and a lower layer of resiliently soft material such as an expanded plastic or foam. Each of the panels is attached to the other panel by hook-and-loop fasteners or by zippers. The panels are removably attached to the vehicle cargo area by magnets, conventional fasteners such as screws, rivets, or snaps, or by hook-and-loop fasteners.

  • Patent number: 5007670
    Abstract: A liner assembly for lining the bed portion of a pickup truck, a van or the like is disclosed. The liner includes a pad portion having a series of parallel, spaced apart channels defined on its underside for mating with the series of parallel, spaced apart corrugations conventionally provided on the bed surface of the bed portion of the truck or van. The pad portion may be a single piece of a resiliently soft material such as an expanded plastic or a closed-cell polyethylene foam or may be a laminated, bi-layered pad portion comprising an upper layer of carpeting and a lower layer of resiliently soft material such as an expanded plastic or foam. The pad portion is removably fastenable to the bed surface by a plurality of selectively positionable hook and loop fastening assemblies. Preferably, the loop portion of the fastening assembly is fastenable to the bed surface, preferably by adhesion. The hook portion of the hook and loop fastening assembly is fastenable to the pad portion by a conventional fastener.
