Abstract: A support pole that includes a telescopic rod including a first shaft configured to move relative to a second shaft, first pad secured to a first end of the first shaft, a retention mechanism secured to the first shaft between the end of the first shaft and the second shaft, and a second pad secured to the second shaft. The retention mechanism is operable to move between an engaged position in which a sheet or curtain may be secured to the telescopic rod and a disengaged position in which the sheet is detached from the telescopic rod.

Abstract: A non-slip mat comprises an absorbent top layer, an impermeable middle layer, a non-slip bottom layer, and a reinforced outer hem. The reinforced outer hem is formed on at least one edge of the non-slip mat by folding all the layers of non-slip mat at least once such that the bottom layer is facing the bottom layer and the top layer is disposed on both top and bottom surfaces. A method for applying an adhesive coating material on a canvas includes heating the adhesive coating material and at least one roller of an apparatus, advancing the canvas through the apparatus in a forward direction to contact the at least one heated roller, and while advancing the canvas, a uniform coating of the adhesive coating material is applied on a surface of the canvas with the at least one heated roller.

Abstract: A protective sheet and method for protecting an object is disclosed. The protective sheet or drop cloth is made from a blend comprising ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and polyethylene (PE), making it naturally liquid impervious and slip resistant. The protective sheet includes a top side having a raised surface design configured for retaining fluid, and a bottom side that is smoother than the top side for added slip resistance. The method comprises the steps of providing the protective sheet and positioning it over the object, wherein the top side faces away from the object, and the bottom side faces the object and the top side is available for a workman to walk on.
