Abstract: The pick-up device includes a support platform having a first side and second side. An elongated handle is connected to the first side. A plurality of sheets of adhesive material are attached to the second side. The sheets are arranged in a sandwich type fashion. Each sheet has an outwardly facing tacky adhesive surface and is adapted to be exposed when a preceding outermost sheet is removed. The tacky adhesive surface serves to pick up lint and other light substances when placed against it.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for providing artificial sounds in the vicinity of a toilet. It includes a housing attachable in the vicinity of a toilet and an electronic sound system which is contained within the housing and is activatable by a user of the toilet so as to block out the noise of eliminating. The sound system includes a speech processing microprocessor for providing an electronic signal representing a desired sound. A memory storage device is connected to the speech processing microprocessor for electronically storing a digital representation of the desired sound to be processed by the speech processing microprocessor. A counter is connected to the memory storage device. The counter has a clock for generating an address for the speech processing microprocessor. A variable resister is attached to the speech processing microprocessor for controlling a rate of the clock, and thereby controlling the quality of the desired sound.
