An improved knock-down spool assembly is disclosed including a spindle body having specially configured end projections and a pair of end plates for receipt thereof. The end projections provide a restraining surface that, upon being yieldingly received by an opening in the end plates, is captured to secure the spindle thereto. A second embodiment is provided with radial extending yielding detents upon the spindle body and matingly positioned openings to further secure the spindle body with the end plates. The invention is snapped together to form an integral, yet readily disassembled, spool.

An automobile litter box includes an enclosed volume open at one end which provides a receptacle with a base which is curved and adapted to rest on the outer periphery of an automobile transmission and drive shaft tunnel. A pair of arcuate arms are rotatably mounted at opposing ends of the base and adapted to engage the outer periphery of an automobile transmission and driveshaft tunnel. Means are provided for applying spring-like compressive force to at least one of the arms thereby providing frictional compressive engagement of the arms with the outer periphery of the tunnel.
