Abstract: A bed enclosure comprises a frame, a tent supported by the frame, and a mattress cover. Material covering two opposed upright end members of the frame and an upper support bar extending between the upright end members is connected to the tent by zipper connectors. A lower edge of the tent is likewise connected to an upper edge of the mattress cover with a zipper connector.

Abstract: A bed enclosure comprising a frame, a tent supported by the frame, and a mattress cover is disclosed. The frame employs a pair of opposed upright end members, an upper support bar connecting the upright end members, and an attachment bar connected to at least one of the upright end members which is movable up and down along a portion of the end member. The frame further includes a releasable fastener for fastening the attachment bar to the bed.

Abstract: A double-lock friction fastener system useful as a restraint for hospital patients includes separate flexible first and second straps affixed to one another at a juncture and extending adjacent one another in the same general direction so that cooperating friction fasteners on free end portions of the straps can be frictionally secured to form a loop of infinitely adjustable size for attachment to an extremity of a patient to be restrained. A locking strap affixed to one strap is folded over the outer face of the other strap, and cooperating friction fasteners on the inside face of the locking strap and on the outer face of the other strap are frictionally secured so the folded-over locking strap covers the free end of the other strap and forms a double-lock friction fastener which resists pulling apart of the friction fasteners which form the loop.

Abstract: A patient is restrained in a wheelchair or hospital bed by a jacket disposed around the upper torso of the patient so that it makes a snug fit around the shoulders and upper torso of the patient. The jacket includes sleeves for extending along the arms of the patient. Adjustable ties on both sides of the midriff region of the jacket are tied to adjust the size of the jacket midriff region to fit the size of the patient and for retaining the adjusted size of the jacket. Fasteners in the form of restraining straps extend away from opposite sides of the jacket for attachment to a fixture such as the understructure of the hospital bed or wheelchair or wheelchair. In one embodiment, a zipper fastener opens and closes the rear of the jacket, and the zipper is offset from the rear center of the jacket so that it does not apply pressure to the spinal column of the patient when the jacket is worn.

Abstract: A golf swing aid fits around the wrists of a golfer and assists in keeping the golfer's wrists together during a golf swing. The golf swing aid comprises a first wrist strap having cooperating fasteners at opposite ends for releasably securing it around a golfer's wrist. An elastically stretchable second wrist strap overlies the first strap and its opposite ends are secured to the first strap to form an elastically stretchable loop that faces the golfer's other wrist. The second strap can be stretched to loop around the golfer's other wrist when the golfer grips a golf club. The second strap, when looped around the golfer's other wrist, stays under tension to provide an elastic return force that resists any tendency of the golfer to separate his wrists during a golf swing.
