Abstract: A backrest of a lounge chair that has an open frame partially shrouded by a sheath. The sheath has a light transmissive front half. The rear half has a decorative design element and the front half has a decorative design element. The two decorative design elements are spaced from each other so that when looking through the light transmissive front half, both decorative design elements may be seen with the decorative design element on the rear half appearing to be further away than the decorative design element on the front half.

Abstract: A portable apparatus that includes fan and a harness adapted to permit the fan to be hung from a harness in a self-supported position on the wearer and which permits relocation of the fan to vary the distance of the fan from the neck of the wearer. The harness includes a cord that is looped about the wearer's neck and which passes through an adjustable coupler, whose sidewalls are configured and arranged to deform in response to squeezing forces. In response to the sidewalls being squeezed, the adjustable coupler releases the cord to permit simultaneous relative movement of the adjustable coupler along the cord. In response to removal of the squeezing forces, the adjustable coupler resiliently returns to its undeformed condition, grasping the cord to prevent relative movement of the adjustable coupler.

Abstract: A mister and an electric fan combination is mounted upon a vertical stand. The mister has a housing arranged to define a curvature that is concentric with a rotational center of rotary fan blades and with the central back of the fan. The housing is attached to the fan guard grill. The mister has a flexible hose extending from a junction with the housing to a location distal from the housing to convey pressurized fluid from a source. The electric fan is pivotally connected on diametrically opposite sides to a connection structure, which is raised by a pole from a base structure.
Abstract: A combination spray bottle and paper towel holder configured and arranged to prevent an edge of a roll of paper towels from being damaged by condensate and/or fraying, comprising a body having a shaft, a base, a hand grip, a flange, a threaded screw-top; a tensioner; and a spray assembly. The body serves as a reservoir for liquids. The roll of paper towels is inserted over the shaft, rests on the flange and does not contact the base. The tensioner maintains pressure on the roll of paper towels, preventing the uncontrolled unrolling thereof. The tensioner is attached to the spray bottle at two attachment locations, located on the body at locations beyond either edge of the roll of paper towels when the roll is inserted over the shaft. At least one of the attachment locations is such that the tensioner is releasably attached thereto.
