Abstract: A bed that includes a base with first and second sections each with a face and sidewalls that extend around the perimeter of and outward from one side of the face. The bed also includes a mattress and a support. The bed is selectively positionable between a first configuration and a second configuration. The first configuration includes the support positioned in the base and with the mattress supported on the base. The second configuration includes the mattress and the support positioned in the base for storage or shipping.

Abstract: An support structure of an article that has a tamper deterrent structure. The support structure, such as a handle, includes segments that are connected by a series of connectors. Both the segments and the connectors, on their own, are designed to prevent their use as a weapon. The connectors provide structure to the segments when the support structure is used as intended but are positioned so the support structure will fail upon intentional manipulation. This manipulation causes the support structure to break into smaller pieces in the event the support structure is attempted to be fashioned into or used as a weapon.

Abstract: A two-panel bag constructed from first and second panels that each has the same shape and size. The panels are connected together and a top edge is open for accessing the interior space. The top edge of the panels form handles that can be tied together to close the interior space. The two panels have a laterally inverted shape relative to a centerline. The top edge of each panel further includes two identical sections that each has a vertically-and-rotationally inverted shape. The shape of the panels facilitates manufacturing as the panels can be cut from a flat sheet with limited or no wasted material.

Abstract: An adjustable smock that facilitates attachment and detachment from a person. The smock includes a body with one or more adjustable tabs. The tabs extend outward from the body and are configured to be inserted into a corresponding receptacle along an opposing section of the body.

Abstract: An enclosure for positioning within a vehicle and having a secure holding cell for housing one or more persons. The enclosure includes a body that forms the holding cell to contain the persons. Benches are positioned within the interior space to accommodate the persons. An area below the benches forms a storage compartment. Access doors to the storage compartments are positioned outside of the holding cell along an exterior side of the enclosure. Doors that enclose the holding cell are movable between open and closed positions and include notches to provide access to the storage compartments.

Abstract: A furniture piece that may include a support member with opposing first and second surfaces. A recess may extend into the first surface. The support member may also include a first aperture within the recess that extends through to the second surface. A brace may be positioned to support the support member. The brace may include a second aperture that aligns with the first aperture. A fastener that includes a head and an outwardly-extending neck may attach the support member and brace together. The head may seat within the recess and the neck may extend through the first and second apertures. One or more spacers may be positioned along the neck to position the head relative to the support member. A thickness of the head may be less than a depth of the recess such that a surface of the head is flush with the first surface of the support member or positioned within the recess below the first surface of the support member.

Abstract: A mattress to support a user that includes a core positioned within an interior space formed by a cover. The cover protects the core from damage that could result from contact with liquid or debris. A vent extends through the cover to allow airflow into and out of the interior space. The vent 40 includes a plurality of pores that allow the airflow, but limit ingress of liquid and debris.

Abstract: A mattress to support a user that includes a body pillow contained within a cover. The body may include first and second sides that are both configured to support the user. The body may also include a height measured between the first and second sides. The pillow may also include first and second sides that are both configured to support the user's head and neck. The pillow includes a height measured between these first and second sides that may be larger than the height of the body. The pillow may also include one or more chamfers. A cover may form an interior space to contain the body and the pillow. The cover may be sized to position the pillow outward from an end of the body in a non-overlapping arrangement.

A thickness of the head may be less than a depth of the recess such that a surface of the head is flush with the first surface of the support member or positioned within the recess below the first surface of the support member.

Abstract: An isolation cell for transporting inmates, and a method of loading and unloading the inmates from the cell. The isolation cell features a number of separate compartments for holding inmates. Once in the compartments, the inmates are isolated to be out of contact with the other inmates within the cell. A number of interior walls are positioned throughout the cell to form the separate compartments. One or more of the interior walls are movable between first and second positions. In the first positions, the interior walls are moved in a manner for the inmates to be loaded and unloaded from the compartments. In the second positions, the interior walls are locked to complete the compartments and securely isolate the inmates.

Abstract: A drawer assembly with an interchangeable lock for mounting on a furniture piece. The drawer assembly comprises a storage area formed by exterior walls. In one embodiment, a front wall includes a cut-out section in which an adapter plate is removably mounted. A locking bar having first and second ends is selectively positioned adjacent to the adapter plate to mate with different locks. The first end includes a tongue that extends through the adapter plate to receive a hasp lock. The second end includes an angled edge for mating with an integrated lock mounted within the adapter plate.

Abstract: A stool comprising a seat mounted to a leg assembly. Apertures within the seat are sized to contain fasteners that mount the seat to the leg assembly. Nuts are positioned on a bottom edge of the seat to receive the fasteners. In one embodiment, the present invention is used within institutional facilities because the stool is difficult to disassemble without tools or excessive amounts of force.

Abstract: A shower curtain assembly for enclosing an opening in a shower enclosure in environments where there is a risk that an individual might attempt to use a part of the shower curtain assembly to cause injury to himself or others. The assembly is constructed of a foam plastic curtain support, a shower curtain attached at its upper edge to the curtain support, and releasable attachments that include hook-and-loop fasteners attached at opposite ends of the curtain support to attach the assembly across the enclosure opening. The shower curtain assembly may also include a cover around the curtain support, with the upper edge of the curtain being releasably attached to the cover.
