Abstract: An elongate floor protecting door painting shield that may be removably secured to a wood door under the lower horizontal edge surface thereof to define two elongate areas on each side of the door to receive spilled paint and prevent the latter defacing the floor surface over which the door is disposed. The shield is preferably formed from a resilient sheet material, and the resiliency of this sheet material being used to maintain the shield in place on the door as the latter is pivoted during a painting operation.

Abstract: A drain strainer that includes a vacuum cup defining a ring-shaped base that has an inverted generally conical first shell projecting upwardly therefrom, which shell has a number of circumferentially and vertically spaced first drain openings therein that are of substantial area. Due to the vacuum cups forming a part thereof, the base may be removably secured to the bottom of a sink to encircle the drain discharge formed in the latter. The external surface of the shell and the upper surface of the base merge into a downwardly and inwardly extending ring-shaped area in which stringy material such as hair, and the like, will accumulate rather than passing through the first drain openings.
