The present disclosure is directed to an apparatus attachable to a vehicle having a flatbed support surface and a hitch receiver to assist with loading and unloading of wheeled items on and off the vehicle. The apparatus may be attached to a vehicle in a ramp configuration. The apparatus may also be attached to a vehicle in a non-ramp configuration such as a support surface configuration for carrying items thereon.

Hitchable apparatus for use with vehicles

An antenna mounting bracket assembly for coupling an antenna to a vehicle includes a first plate, a bar, and a coupler. A set of apertures positioned in the first plate is configured to be aligned with hinge holes positioned in an upper hinge. Hinge bolts are insertable through the apertures, the hinge holes, and holes positioned in a door frame of the vehicle so that the first plate is coupled to the vehicle. A spacer is coupled to and extends from a first face of the first plate. The bar is coupled to and extends from the spacer distal from the first plate so that the bar extends between the door frame and a door when the door is closed. The coupler is coupled to the bar distal from the spacer and is configured to couple to a mount of an antenna to couple the antenna to the vehicle.

A method for making a golf ball having fiber flock bonded to a core is provided. The fiber flock preferably has high color vibrancy to provide high quality aesthetics. Preferably, the fiber flock comprises fiber segments having a length less than one inch. The fiber segments may have substantially equal dimensions. In other instances, the fiber segments are of unequal dimensions. The golf ball includes a translucent cover layer surrounding the core. Thus, the fiber flock is visible from the exterior of the ball. Special decorative effects can be achieved using colored fiber flock and reflective particulate such as pearlescent pigment in the layers surrounding the core.

A leak-proof, interlocking, stackable travel container assembly has a sealing plug and a plurality of travel containers. The sealing plug is designed to create an airtight seal when positioned within an opening. In order to do so, the sealing plug has a first sealing ring, a second sealing ring and a lip. Each of the plurality of travel containers has a neck portion, an opening, a body portion and a base portion. The opening perpendicularly traverses into the neck portion allowing an user to place and remove items within the travel container. When required, the sealing plug is placed within the opening. Next, a protective cap is used to surround the sealing plug. If multiple travel containers are to be used, a base interlocking mechanism and a neck interlocking mechanism are used for interlocking each of the plurality of travel containers.

Leak-proof, interlocking, stackable, food, spice, and liquid travel

The present invention is directed a golf ball comprising a core and a cover and an optional intermediate layer disposed between the core and cover, wherein at least one of the core and the intermediate layer comprises any Pantone Matching System color including blue, green, yellow, pink, or orange having an L* value of about 80 or less; and wherein the cover comprises a translucent thermoset polyurethane material and an amount of pigment or dye such that the cover has any Pantone Matching System color including blue, green, yellow, pink, or orange that has an L* value of about 80 or less. The thermoset polyurethane material may be formed from an aliphatic isocyanate-based composition.
