  • Patent number: 7159631
    Abstract: A protective cover for motor vehicle mainly includes a cover, at least two flexible metal rings that are lengthwise sequentially spaced at and attached to an inner side of the cover to enclose a relatively large area of the cover, and adjustable belts with hook belt fasteners spaced at a lower edge of the cover. The flexible metal rings are adapted to automatically stretch the cover for covering an upper part of a motor vehicle, and the hook belt fasteners are adapted to firmly hold the cover to a lower part of the motor vehicle. To fold and store the cover, simply fold the cover to align the metal rings with each other, and bend the aligned metal rings into several superposed smaller loops, so that the folded cover may be stored in a bag in the flat and folded state to occupy only a relatively small space.

  • Patent number: 4577758
    Abstract: The ashtray of this invention comprises a folded member having a substantially V-shaped cross-section formed by two panels with a common side. The adjoining sides of the two panels contiguous to the common side are adapted for contact with a supporting surface to support the panels thereon in an upright position, the two sides defining the bottom side of the ashtray. The two panels then define an angular space there between, the angular space having an apical portion near the common side of the panels. The ashtray further comprises an upper member connected to the two panels for supporting cigarettes or cigars in substantially horizontal positions. The upper member is spaced apart from the common side of the panels to allow the lighted ends of cigarettes or cigars to protrude into the apical portion and to allow ashes from such lighted ends to fall through the apical portion towards the bottom side of the ashtray.
