Abstract: A cover assembly for a mattress is provided that includes a first cover and a second cover. The first cover includes a top panel, a bottom panel, and a continuous side panel collectively defining a cavity for enclosing the mattress. The second cover includes a top surface and a bottom surface, with the second cover being positioned over and dimensionally-sized to cover at least the top panel of the first cover. A fastener then connects the second cover to the first cover along the perimeter of the second cover. Methods for marking a mattress are also provided that include the step of marking an indicia indicative of a characteristic of a mattress on the top surface of the second cover of the cover assembly.

Abstract: A vaginal insert device including a support portion, a stabilizing portion, a removal device, and at least one fluid passageway extending though the support portion is disclosed. The vaginal insert relaxes in the vagina to deliver outward compression force against the bladder neck via the anterior vaginal wall to assist prevention of urinary stress incontinence. The substantially cylindrical support portion has a distal end, a proximal end, and a hollow interior section with a plurality of struts extending from the distal end to the proximal end. Desirably, the plurality of struts helically curve as the plurality of struts extend from the distal end to the proximal end. The largest circumference of the support portion has an insertion diameter when the plurality of struts are twisted together and an in-use diameter wherein the plurality of struts are extended outward into a convex position larger than the insertion diameter.

Abstract: Generally, a vaginal insert device used to treat urinary incontinence is disclosed. The vaginal insert device includes a support portion, a stabilizing portion, a removal device, and at least one fluid passageway extending though the support portion. The substantially cylindrical support portion has a distal end and a proximal end. In addition, the support portion has a plurality of foldable areas extending from the distal end to the proximal end. Desirably, the plurality of foldable areas helically curve as the plurality of foldable areas extend from the distal end to the proximal end. The largest outer circumference of the support portion has an insertion diameter when the plurality of foldable areas are compressed and foldable inward and an in-use diameter wherein the plurality of foldable areas are extended outward into a maximum in-use diameter position. Desirably, the in-use diameter is larger than the insertion diameter.

Abstract: A tower includes a base configured to sit upon a surface. A light source is coupled to the base and is positioned a first horizontal distance from a center of the base. The light source is configured to produce light therefrom when energized. The tower includes a cylindrical outer body that is coupled to and positioned a second distance from the center of the base, wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance. The outer body is oriented to extend vertically from the surface and is configured to allow light from the light source to pass therethrough. A plurality of leaves are coupled to an outer surface of the outer body and are configured to hang therefrom. The leaves are configured to freely move with respect to the outer body when air flow is applied thereto, wherein light from the light source is viewable through the outer body when the leaves move.

Abstract: A handheld torch which comprises a cylindrical body that has a top and a bottom. The body is configured to be grasped by a person and is preferably made of wood. The torch includes a window portion configured to extend at least partially around the body and one or more light sources positioned within the window portion. The torch includes a power source that is coupled to the light source, where the power source located within the body. The torch includes circuitry within the body, in which the circuitry is coupled to the power source and the light source. The light source produces light which illuminates through the window portion when the light source is energized.
