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.
Abstract: A weather-proof, wind-proof one-piece cover bag, for a motorcycle or other vehicle being transported on an open vehicle or trailer, comprises a bag made of durable, and flexible material provided with two or more tie down slits to accommodate tie down straps securing the motorcycle to the vehicle and several straps securing the cover bag to the belly of the motorcycle and the front and back wheels of the motorcycle.
Abstract: A collapsible ashtray includes a pair of panels joined by a pleated sheet which defines an ash receptacle when the panels are pulled apart. The pleated sheet includes at least one step formed therein for holding lighted cigarettes. In one embodiment, the panels are joined to form a hinge, and the ashtray may be folded and unfolded along this hinge. In another embodiment, the panels are not joined so that the panels may be pulled apart in a parallel fashion.

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.
