Abstract: A monolithic, polymer ramp for elevating a tire of a vehicle from ground level to an elevated position includes a slanted portion having a slanted surface extending from a front end, the slanted surface configured to engage the tire and elevate the tire to the elevated position. The ramp includes a wheel supporting portion having a substantially flat surface extending from the slanted surface and a first chock molded therein proximate a back end, wherein the slanted surface and the substantially flat surface comprise a plurality of spaced apart rows of spaced apart columns wherein the spaced apart columns extend from apertures in the slanted surface and the substantially flat surface and terminate at a distal end that is proximately even with the front end.

Abstract: A self-adjusting tie down for securing a tire on a wheel to a platform having first and second loops attached thereto includes a first ring and a second ring spaced from the first ring. A tread engaging strap is configured to engage the tread surface of the tire, the tread strap being attached to the first ring proximate a first end and positioned through the second ring, where the tread engaging strap includes a length adjusting mechanism attached to a second end and a first securing mechanism configured to engage the first loop attached to the platform. The tie down includes first and second sidewall engaging straps configured to engage the left and right sidewalls of the tire, each of the first and second sidewall engaging straps attached to the second ring proximate a first and positioned through the first ring, each of the first and second sidewall engaging straps comprising a second securing mechanism configured to engage the second loop attached to the platform.

Abstract: A foldable funnel includes a bowl having a continuous outer wall having a top edge defining an opening to an interior space. The continuous outer wall includes a plurality of spaced apart bowl living hinges and a first flange extending from the top edge, where the first flange having a width and a length. The foldable funnel includes a stem extending from the bowl, the stem having a through bore in fluid communication with the interior space wherein a cross-sectional area of the through bore is less than a cross-sectional area of the opening. The bowl is configured to be positioned into a first position wherein the bowl is configured to transfer a fluid from the bowl through the opening and the interior space and into the through bore in the stem. The bowl is also configured to be positioned into a second position wherein the bowl is folded about the plurality of living hinges into a compact configuration wherein the first flange having the length and the width is positioned over the opening of the bowl in the compact configuration to minimize the accumulation of dirt and grime in the bowl after use.
