Abstract: A plurality of angled members that are positionable between a bed's mattress and box spring to prevent a pet from falling off or of being accidentally pushed off a bed. The angled member positioned at the foot of the bed extends from one side to the other whether twin, queen or king sized mattress with the side angled members positioned on opposing sides of the bed with each adjacently fastened to the foot member by means of at least one bracket. The vertical portion of the angled members sufficiently extends above the planar top surface of the mattress to form a barrier to prevent the aforementioned accidents.

Abstract: A wear shoe holder is provided for allowing the easy removal and replacement of wear shoes from sludge collector flights in a sludge collecting tank. The wear shoe holder is a retaining plate fastened to a sludge collecting flight. The inside surface of the retaining plate has detents that become axially aligned with the apertures in a wear shoe when the wear shoe is in its proper operating position. The detents hold the wear shoe securely in place during operation and allow for the easy replacement of a worn wear shoe.

Abstract: A heat deflector is disclosed for use on electric stove heating elements. The deflector includes a heat shield and a support/spacer member to support the cooking utensil in a level position in relation to the electric heating element. The shield serves to block heat rising from the electric coil and prevent overheating of the cooking utensil handle. The invention is suitable for use on virtually all electric stoves regardless of the size or shape of their heating elements.

Abstract: A stove-top safety grate flame deflector is disclosed for gas stove burner grates. The deflector includes generally a plate-like member and a downwardly extending protective skirt for preventing flames or heat from heating a pot handle beyond what can be tolerated by hand touch. The deflector and protective skirt are positioned and proportioned to permit universal mounting capability on virtually any gas stove safety grate. The deflector and protective skirt can also be formed integrally with a stove-top grate.

Abstract: A flame deflector is disclosed for use on gas stove burner grates. The deflector includes a top deflector and lower skirt/mounting member. The top deflector plate serves to keep rising flames from heating a cooking utensil handle. The skirt/mounting member keeps the device from moving on the burner grate. The invention is suitable for use on all burner grates regardless of the shape and size, and a variety of embodiments are disclosed for mounting the invention on different burner grates.
