Abstract: Disposable protective covers for pet beds, automobile seats, automotive trunk interiors, furniture and other solid surfaces stay in place, preferably using detachably re-releasable adhesive. Once protected, the protected surface can still be used for its intended purpose by its customary user, such as a pet or person for sifting, sleeping, laying, etc., because the disposable protective cover has a top surface that is pet-friendly or human-friendly, as the case may be. One such disposable protective cover is a relatively-flat two-sided adhesive article, with detachably releasable adhesive on the surface that contacts the pet bed or other surface to be protected and with lighter adhesive on the top surface (and/or other components for retaining dust, dirt, hair, etc.).

Abstract: A portable showering cabinet for use by non-ambulatory, aged, or other persons unable to use conventional showering and hygienic home care facilities, particularly useful for a private home, hospitality industry, residential schools, general and specialized hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and bedside care in a nursing home. The showering cabinet system provides daily hygienic care for disabled, with or without minimal assistance from a caregiver, eliminating the need for a caregiver to help a disabled person enter a shower stall and eliminating the need for a caregiver to perform the showering of the individual. The portable cabinet includes a water supply system that attaches to existing hot and cold water supply cabinets and a manually movable cabinet that has casters, allowing it to be moved easily and quickly along a floor surface to a bedside, and an improved access auxiliary seat to insure safe entrance by the patient into and out of the enclosure from a seated position on the outside of the cabinet.
