Abstract: Disclosed herein is a device for dispensing and collecting handle or armature cover material or covers for use, by way of example, with door handles, knobs, and the like. In one embodiment, the device is an automated handle cover dispenser that can include a dual use handle cover refill cartridge for both supplying and collecting handle cover material, or alternatively, a plurality of reels or cartridges (e.g., a supply reel and a take-up reel). The material, when supplied, at least partially covers a handle (e.g., door handle) during use by a consumer. This maintains sanitary integrity of the handle, so as to protect a consumer or other individual from touching an otherwise dirty or unsanitary handle. The dispenser can include at least one cutter for cutting at least one side of the handle cover material so as to facilitate supply, and in particular, collection of the handle cover material.

Abstract: A casing vent security device is disclosed and illustrated. The device includes an in-line section in communication with a casing vent, the in-line section having an ambient air passageway for selectively allowing ambient air to pass through the in-line section and into the vent; a plurality of sensors disposed within the in-line section for monitoring the ambient air passing through the in-line section; occlusion means positioned in the in-line section for selectively occluding the passage of ambient air into the vent upon receiving a signal from the sensors; and signaling means for providing information on the plurality of sensors and the vent.

Abstract: A casing vent security device includes an in-line section in communication with a casing vent, the in-line section having an ambient air passageway for selectively allowing ambient air to pass through the in-line section and into the vent. The device further includes a plurality of sensors disposed within the in-line section for monitoring the ambient air passing through the in-line section. The device still further includes at least one mechanism for selectively occluding the passage of ambient air into the vent upon receiving a signal from the sensors. The device provides information on the plurality of sensors and the vent.
