Abstract: An eyeglasses fogging prevention apparatus consists of a strip made of stretchable, elastic material. The strip has a central section made of pliant, form fitting material and strip adjustment clips for shortening and lengthening the strip. Loop sections are located at opposite ends of the strip, at least one adjustment clip being located between the central section and one of the loop sections. The apparatus is configured to be positioned across the face of a user who is wearing eyeglasses, beneath the eyeglasses of the user, with the loop end sections placed over the user's ears and the central section placed over and down the sides of the bridge of the nose of the user. The apparatus is held against the user's nose by altering the length of the strip with the adjustment clips, such that the strip is compelled tight against the nose, thereby preventing fogging of the eyeglasses.

Abstract: A patient's discomfort from a cold stethoscope head is avoided by a disposable fabric cover. The cover is disposed between the stethoscope face and the patient's skin and permits the patient's chest sounds and the like to be transmitted through to the stethoscope face at a sufficient level to be amplified and rendered audible by the stethoscope. Such sound transmission may be through the fabric itself or through a port defined in the fabric radially inward from the periphery of the stethoscope face. An elasticized outer hem permits the cover to be easily placed onto and removed from the stethoscope. The inexpensive cover can be economically discarded after a single use and replaced so as to avoid transmission of contagious diseases between successive patients examined with the same stethoscope.
