A handle and screw facilitate the applying of soap to hard to reach areas of the body. The handle may be wood, plastic, metal, or the like and may be of various desirable lengths and shapes. The screw is a specialty item with a novel characteristic of having features enabling a bather to easily advance the screw into the handle and a bar of soap wears thinner. The head of the screw is rounded to prevent scratching the user, and the screw either includes engaging features on an underside of the screw head to cause the screw to turn and advance into the handle by turning the soap, or the screw is a barbed screw advanceable by pressing into the handle.

Apparatus and method for attaching soap to handle

A vehicle comprises an interior area including a driver compartment and a sleeper compartment. The vehicle includes a first apparatus adapted to provide occupant comfort air at least in the driver compartment. The vehicle further includes a second apparatus adapted to provide occupant comfort air at least in the sleeper compartment.

HVAC system for truck sleepers

Vehicles include a first air conditioning system adapted to condition at least air in the driver compartment. The first air conditioning system has a condenser coil, a condenser fan, an evaporator coil, an evaporator fan and a compressor. The vehicles also have a second air conditioning system adapted to condition at least air in the sleeper compartment. The second air conditioning system has an auxiliary condenser coil, an auxiliary condenser fan, an auxiliary evaporator coil, an auxiliary evaporator fan and an auxiliary compressor. The auxiliary condenser fan can be provided as an auxiliary direct current condenser fan, an auxiliary axial condenser fan or an auxiliary direct current axial condenser fan.

Vehicle with air conditioning arrangement

Vehicles are provided with a first air conditioning system adapted to condition at least air in the driver compartment and a second air conditioning system distinct from the first air conditioning system and adapted to operate independently of the first air conditioning system. The second air conditioning system is adapted to condition at least air in the sleeper compartment and includes an exterior assembly mounted to a location outside the interior area and an interior assembly operably connected with the exterior assembly and mounted within the interior area. The exterior assembly includes an auxiliary condenser coil and an auxiliary condenser fan and the interior assembly includes an auxiliary evaporator coil, an auxiliary evaporator fan and an auxiliary compressor. Air conditioning kits are also provided with an exterior assembly including a condenser fan and a condenser coil precharged with refrigerant fluid and an interior assembly including an evaporator fan, a compressor and an evaporator coil precharged with refrigerant fluid. Methods of installing an air conditioning system are also provided.

Air conditioning system with interior and exterior assemblies

A cover for an air conditioning system includes a fluid inlet port adapted to permit fluid located outside the interior space to enter through a wall of the cover and into a first interior space portion of the cover. The cover further includes a fluid outlet port adapted to permit fluid located inside the second interior space portion to exit through the wall to a location outside the interior space. The cover may be integrated as part of a vehicle wherein a fluid inlet port of the cover can be placed in fluid communication with an air inlet of a first evaporator fan and an air inlet of a second evaporator fan and a fluid outlet port of the cover can be placed in fluid communication with an air outlet of the second evaporator fan. Methods also include retrofitting a vehicle comprising the steps of removing a first cover from a support surface and mounting a second cover to the support surface.
