Abstract: An interlocking portable rollout attic flooring having a plurality of planks laid in a mutual abutting relationship of side edges of the planks, to define a common longitudinally extensive top and bottom surfaces, the common bottom surface having longitudinally directed notches oriented orthogonal to the side edges. The longitudinally directed notches engaged with spaced apart beams for support and stability of the flooring. The side edges of the planks configured in a mutually overlapping relationship wherein each plank supports a portion of weight applied to each adjacent plank. At least one longitudinally directed flexible strap fixed to the top surface of the flooring to secure the planks in the abutting relationship while allowing the planks to be rolled into a cylindrical configuration.

Abstract: A protective cover for a valve which is mounted proximally on an inlet pipe extending from a distal wall surface along a longitudinal axis provides a base cylinder wall aligned with the longitudinal axis and terminating distally with an integral base end wall. The base cylinder wall has a base slot extensive longitudinally, the slot contiguous through the base end wall radially to a medial position. a cover cylinder wall aligned with the longitudinal axis and frictionally engaged with the base cylinder wall; the cover cylinder wall having a cover slot extensive longitudinally therethrough from a distal end of the cover cylinder wall to a medial position therein. In an alternate embodiment, the base cylinder wall and end wall are replaced by a block with a longitudinal recess.

Abstract: A cord securement apparatus comprises an elongate elastic band having a hook integral with one end of the band, and an eyelet integral with the other end of the band. The eyelet is slidingly engaged medially with the band thereby forming a loop at the other end of the band. The loop may be tightened about an electrical cord and the band may be wound about the electrical cord and its appliance in order to secure the electrical cord in place.
