Abstract:

A windshield protection and ice removal device comprises a pair of generally rectangular flexible wire frames enclosed by and supporting a nylon fabric coated by an outer layer of polyvinyl chloride. There are also a pair of opposed side view mirror “gloves” having expandable “wrists” and which are designed to enclose a vehicle's side view mirrors for securing the invention to the vehicle in a manner resistant to wind effects which might otherwise lift the cover from the windshield. Finally, the preferred embodiment also comprises a wire-connected belt terminating in a buckle which is designed to be trapped inside a vehicle's interior by the vehicle's door or side window to render the invention resistant to unauthorized removal from the vehicle's windshield. A relatively thick, cut-resistant wire runs through the belt to make it more difficult to cut the belt and sever it from the rest of the shield device.

Abstract:

A tape cassette player locking mechanism which comprises a container of the general configuration of a cassette adapted to be inserted into the player and including a locking mechanism preventing removal of the container without damage to the player. The invention comprises two integral portions, namely, an internal portion that is of dimensions substantially equivalent to the dimensions of a typical tape cassette and is therefore adapted to be inserted into the cassette compartment of a cassette player, and an external portion which is designed to be accessible at the front of the cassette player and which provides a locking device such as a key lock for locking and unlocking the mechanism of the present invention. More specifically, when the internal portion of the present invention has been suitably positioned within the cassette compartment of a tape cassette player and the locking device of the invention, which is accessible from the external portion of the invention, has been actuated to engage the locking mechanism, at least one latch is forced to protrude out of a suitably dimensioned latch window beyond the nominal boundaries of the internal portion of the locking mechanism of the invention. As a result, the latch renders it impossible to remove the tape cassette locking device of the invention without seriously and permanently damaging the cassette player whereby to render it useless and therefore of no value to the thief.
