Abstract: An apparatus for an entryway includes: a sheet of material having a top, a bottom, a left side, and a right side, and a sleeve at the top of the sheet of material. The sheet of material has an opening extending to the bottom of the sheet of material between the left side and the right side of the sheet of material from a position below the sleeve. The opening has a left seam and a right seam, wherein a first magnet is positioned at the left seam of the opening and a second magnet is positioned at the right seam of the opening, wherein the first and second magnets are magnetically coupled. A variable-length cross member has a first end and a second end. The cross member is positioned in the sleeve and includes a first securing mechanism at the first end and a second securing mechanism at the second end that secure the cross member respectively to body portions of a first vertical pole and a second vertical pole.

Abstract: A mounting unit of a partition mount system that removably secures a sheet of material includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a first end and a second end opposite the first end and a pivot on a lower surface thereof. The second portion has a first end and a second end opposite the first end and is configured to mate with the first portion. The first end of the second portion is wider than the second end of the second portion. The first portion and second portion are configured to secure a sheet of material therebetween.

Abstract: A partition mount system includes an integrated plunger assembly. The integrated plunger assembly is constructed and arranged to be integrated into an interior of an end of an extension pole, for example a standard telescoping extension pole. Mounting of the plunger in an interior portion of the pole in this manner provides for a sleek design that is relatively lightweight. Assuming that the pole in which the anchor is mounted is part of a telescoping pole system, the anchor and plunger do not interfere with full travel of the interior pole with respect to other poles in the telescoping system. In this manner, operation of the telescoping pole system is not inhibited by the integrated plunger assembly.

Abstract: A pole clamp system for mounting between a pole and an abutting surface includes a pole interface configured to interface with a side body portion of a pole, a guide portion extending from the pole interface, a locking plate extending from the pole interface adjacent to the guide portion, a biasing unit extending through the guide portion and the locking plate, and a head interface coupled to the biasing unit. The biasing unit outwardly biases the pole interface and head interface in opposite directions.

Abstract: A coupler comprises a first channel having a first axis of extension in a first horizontal direction and a second channel having a second axis of extension in the first horizontal direction. The second axis of extension is parallel to and spaced apart from the first axis of extension in a second horizontal direction. The second axis of extension has a pitch angle relative to the first axis of extension in a vertical direction, the pitch angle being less than 180 degrees. The first and second channels each include head-mounting features, the head-mounting features constructed and arranged to retain an elongated head to the coupler while permitting movement of the elongated head relative to the coupler in the first horizontal direction.

Abstract: A partition assembly kit, includes a receptacle, a first strap, and a first zipper having a length greater than 50% a height of a standard-sized entry way. The strap and the first zipper are provided within the receptacle.

Abstract: A filter mount removably attaches a filter to a box fan. The filter mount includes an elastic band, a fan coupler at a first end of the elastic band and a filter coupler at a second end of the elastic band. The fan coupler removably attaches to a grate of a grill of a fan. The filter coupler removably attaches to a filter.

Abstract: A filter frame is removably attachable to a box fan. The filter frame is adapted for receiving a standard HVAC-style filter for removing contaminants from air flow induced by the fan. In this manner, a cost-effective means for filtering a flow of air is provided for residential and commercial settings. The filter frame is adaptable to a variety of standard box fan types of different styles and dimensions. The frame is configured to accommodate standard filters, such as those readily available from retail hardware stores and home centers.

Abstract: A pole mount includes a telescoping, length-adjustable pole having a head end and a foot end, a coarse length-adjustment mechanism, and a fine length-adjustment mechanism. The fine length-adjustment mechanism is proximal to the foot end of the pole and the coarse length-adjustment mechanism is at an end of a segment of the telescoping pole nearest the head end of the pole.

Abstract: A dust barrier system includes first and second barrier panels. Each of the first and second barrier panels includes a sheet of material including nylon, first zipper teeth extending from a first side of the sheet of material, second zipper teeth extending from a second side of the sheet of material, and a zipper pull coupled to only one of the first zipper teeth and the second zipper teeth and configured to slide along the one of the first zipper teeth and the second zipper teeth. The first zipper teeth of the first barrier panel mate with the second zipper teeth of the second barrier panel, and the first and second barrier panels are combined to form a barrier.
