The drawings show three designs which do not differ substantially from each other. FIGS. 1-8 show the first variant. FIG. 9 shows the second variant. FIGS. 10-12 show the third variant. The first variant has a lip (the left-side extension shown in FIG. 4) with three holes. The second variant has a lip with no holes. The third variant has no lip. The broken line showing of a typical land vehicle is for illustrative purposes only and forms no part of the claimed design.
