A fishing rod carrier for use in a vehicle cab interior bounded in-part by a vehicle cab roof is provided for receiving a plurality of fishing rods having a handle at one end and a rod tip at the opposite end, and includes first and second carrier members. Each carrier member includes a first flexible non-elastomeric elongated strap having first and second ends. A second flexible elastomeric elongated strap is coupled to the first strap at selected locations but otherwise uncoupled to the first strap, and forms a plurality of elastomeric loops along the length of the first strap. Each loop defines a clearance of preselected dimensions between the first and second straps. A means is provided for releasably coupling the first and second ends of the first strap to the vehicle cab roof. The first and second carrier members are spaced apart a selected distance and positioned substantially parallel along the vehicle cab roof with the handle of each of the plurality of fishing rods disposed in one of the plurality of loops on one carrier member and with the tip of each of the plurality of fishing rods disposed in the corresponding loop in the opposite carrier member.

A mouthpiece () for an inhaler or inhalation device () includes an elongated body () having a substantially oval opening () at a first end and a substantially round opening () at a second end opposite from the first end, a plurality of depending arms (), extending from the elongated body forming at least one air passageway () between two depending arms (), and at least one flexible gripping finger () coupled to an inner surface of each depending arm (), extending inwardly into the medicament delivery passageway of the mouthpiece at or near the substantially round opening () at the opposite end. Once coupled with an inhaler or inhalation device, the mouthpiece functions as a “pass through” mouthpiece to improve the consistency of inhaled medicament/drug delivery.
