Abstract: A portable replacement for eyeglass nose pads and arm posts. The invention is a pair of tubes, made of flexible plastic tubing. The tubing can be padded for additional comfort. The padding can also be contoured to better fit against a user's nose. The tubing is designed to fit over the posts that remain after the nose pad is broken off, or they can be placed directly on the lens if the post is broken too. The tubes are friction fit over the lens or posts. Once the tubes are in place, the user may wear the eyeglasses until they can be brought to a repair shop. The tubes can be cut to any desired length as needed. Moreover, several diameters of tubing can be provided to ensure a proper fit on any given lens or set of posts.

Abstract: A large multi-level tent that has an interior divided into two levels. The tent is a ¾ sphere that is supported by shaped tubes, a set of braces, and a top band. The platform has polyvinylchloride (PVC) posts to secure the platform to the ground. Each post extends upward to the full desired height for a two level living space. Metal brackets are secured to the vertical posts at each floor location. These brackets hold 2×4 horizontal wooden frame members. The frame members are reinforced with additional wood framing, similar to deck construction. Each deck is then covered with plywood sheathing to form a “floor” surface. After the platform is built, the tent is constructed around it. The tent has frame, which is covered by a canvas outer covering that is attached to all the tent frame elements.
