There is described a scratch-free snow removal tool comprising a flexible blade presenting a sweeping surface extending in a plane. The flexible blade defines a blade edge which is continuous and can be made of silicone or TPE. The blade support is more rigid than the flexible blade. A plurality of fingers is provided, which are more rigid than the flexible blade and extend in the plane of the sweeping surface, from the blade support toward the blade edge without reaching the blade edge.

A vehicle includes a body, a handle, and at least one connection site for the handle at which the handle is selectively connectable to the vehicle. The body defines a passenger compartment and a door opening, and includes a door over the door opening. The at least one connection site includes a home connection site on the door. When connected to vehicle at the home connection site, the handle, from its corresponding location on the door, is subject to being operated by a user to allow the door to open.

A scraper device designed to aid a user in safely cleaning the bed of a truck. The scraper device has a rod with a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is opposite the second end. The rod is designed to be telescopic, such that a bottom portion of the rod is designed to retract into a top portion of the rod. A blade, having a top edge and a bottom edge parallel to one another such that a trapezoidal shape is formed, is attached to the rod such that the bottom edge of the blade is secured to the second end of the rod. In this way, a user can safely scrape clean the beds of trucks.

The improved double-sided convex mirror cleaning tool disclosed herein may comprise, at least, a fixed, concave cleaning blade and a handle. Such a device contemplates the use of resilient and flexible materials for the cleaning blade suitable for use in cleaning windows, and resilient and solid materials suitable for structural rigidity in the device main body. The combination is unique in that the cleaning blade is a concave blade meant to contour most effectively with convex mirrors commonly found on tractor-trailer combinations. The device may further comprise a second, straight cleaning blade for use in the cleaning of planar mirrors, or may instead comprise a variety of attachments suitable for providing additional functionality to the device.

A cleaning element includes a fiber assembly having a plurality of fibers extending in a predetermined direction and a nonwoven fabric provided on the fiber assembly. A first fusion bonded part extends in a cross direction traversing the predetermined direction to fusion-bond the fiber assembly and the nonwoven fabric, and a plurality of second fusion bonded parts is provided discontinuously in the cross direction to fusion-bond the fiber assembly and the nonwoven fabric. Each of the second fusion bonded parts has a first area and a second area. A length in the predetermined direction from the first fusion bonded part to the first area is different from a length in the predetermined direction from the first fusion bonded part to the second area.

The tool has a folded position and an unfolded position. It will generally include a head assembly and an articulated handle. The handle can also be used alone. The handle, or the tool with such handle, occupies only a very compact space once in a fully folded position. It may thus be easily carried and stored when not in use. It can be folded and unfolded with only a minimal manipulative effort and level of difficulty. The main constituent parts cannot become detached and this unitary design alleviates the risks of parts being misplaced or lost.

A center console for a vehicle, has at least one storage chamber, laterally delimited on both sides by two side walls, and at least one dividing element, arranged in the storage chamber and which serves for subdividing the storage chamber. In order to provide a center console having a storage chamber which can be adapted to articles that are to be stored, the center console has at least two upwardly open holding slots which are arranged in the storage chamber and are mutually spaced in a transverse direction of the center console and which are arranged mutually oppositely on the side walls such that the dividing element can, at edges, be at least partially inserted into the holding slots from above.

A collapsible snow paddle. The paddle includes an elongated handle, a rotatable coupling affixed to one end of the handle, and a generally planar snow remover, the rotatable coupling affixed to a rear surface of the remover so that the remover may be collapsed against the handle for storage and extended transverse to the handle for use. The snow remover may have a scraper edge inclined at an angle relative to the surface of the snow remover for scraping ice and a relatively soft capped edge for removing snow.

A wheel brush and lug nut cleaner having a handle with a rear portion and a front portion operably configured to pivot with respect to one another utilizing a pivot pin with a plurality of grooves disposed along an external perimeter thereof. The rear portion has a spring-loaded release mechanism disposed therein and having an accessible release button and a lock tab in operational communication with the release button, wherein the accessible release button is operably configured to move the lock tab to a disengaged position and an engaged position with respect to the plurality of grooves, the disengaged position operably configured to enable pivoting of the front portion with respect to the rear portion and the engaged position operably configured prevent pivoting of the front portion with respect to the rear portion. The device also includes a brush head with a plurality of bristles disposed thereon.

A vehicle includes a body, a handle, and at least one connection site for the handle at which the handle is selectively connectable to the vehicle. The body defines a passenger compartment and a door opening, and includes a door over the door opening. The at least one connection site includes a home connection site on the door. When connected to vehicle at the home connection site, the handle, from its corresponding location on the door, is subject to being operated by a user to allow the door to open.
