Abstract: A bootie application device that provides booties that slide along a rail system on tabs that releasably connect the booties to the rail system. A sensor detects when booties are not disposed at a position along the rail system and issues a bootie level signal. An alert indicates when the bootie level signal has been issued.

Abstract: A bootie application device that provides booties that slide along a rail system on tabs that releasably connect the booties to the rail system. A tensioning apparatus connects the rail system to the bootie application device. When an increased tension is applied to the rail system, the tensioning apparatus permits the rail system to move away from the application device by the expansion of the tensioning apparatus. When the increased tension is removed from the rail system, the rail system is drawn back toward the application device by the contraction of the tensioning apparatus.

Abstract: A shoe cover removal vacuuming system for removing a shoe cover from a user's shoe. The system includes a shoe cover removal apparatus and a central vacuuming system. The shoe cover removal apparatus includes a trough for receiving a user's shoe, the trough including a removal portal. The central vacuuming system includes a central vacuum unit having a suction motor, a collection container disposed in a room remote from the at least one shoe cover removal apparatus for collecting shoe covers removed by the shoe cover removal apparatus, and tubing for connecting the removal portal of the shoe cover removal apparatus to the central vacuum unit and the collection container.
