An improved motor vehicle headrest structure is disclosed wherein individual support posts are securely attached to a plastic armature. The armature is formed separately from the support posts, which are subsequently attached by rivets or other suitable means, and includes a shroud about the end of each support post. A conventional foam-filled cover surrounds the armature assembly.

A storage box for ice fishing tip-ups and related fishing tackle and equipment is especially constructed to carry a plurality of tip-ups in separate storage compartments in a manner to prevent tangling of hooks and lines with those of adjacent stored tip-ups or on the stored tip-up itself. Other compartments provide convenient storage for all of the other tackle and equipment normally needed for ice fishing and the box includes drain holes to allow water accumulating from ice on the stored equipment to drain from the box. The drain holes are disposed in the bottom panel of the box as are similar attachment holes so that two identical boxes may be attached back-to-back. The drain and the attachment holes are all selectively openable as with molded-in knockouts, so they may be utilized only if desired or necessary. The carrying handle is demountable for relocation closer to the centerline of a attached box pair to facilitate carrying.

An insulating cover provides a easily removed thermal barrier over a hatchway used for access to an attic or other unheated area located above a heated living space. A cap, besides providing thermal insulation, provides an insulated dome or pocket space above the hatch, this space being used to manipulate a hatch cover or folding stairway. The seating surface of the insulating cap interlocks with a deck member on the attic floor sufficiently to hold it in place while allowing seepage of air during closing of the hatch cover or folding stairway. It is well known that such closing of a folding stairway of common design can cause an air movement or air rain into the stairwell opening. Only materials with high thermal 'R' value are used.
