  • Publication number: 20160213079
    Abstract: The present invention is a set of suspenders requiring only a single strap, which enables a person wearing them to disconnect them for their trousers without having to remove the suspenders along with any coat, sweater or outer garment they may be wearing. The suspenders of the present invention require only two connection points, rather than the three or four connection points required by conventional suspenders. The present invention in several embodiments uses two small hooks that connect directly to the user's belt, rather than trousers.

  • Patent number: 7917979
    Abstract: An apparatus for lifting a mattress to an optimal work level so as to facilitate the bed making process. A generally rectangular size specific inflatable member is disposed between a mattress and box springs in an unsecured manner so as to create a functional space between the mattress and inflatable member into which the bed linen can be secured during the bed making process. A fluid communication means is engageable with the inflatable member and an air pump is engageable with the fluid communication means for providing air for inflating the inflatable member. A power means provides power to operate the air pump and a switch activates and deactivates the air pump. A valve controls inflation and deflation of the inflatable member.

  • Publication number: 20090205132
    Abstract: An apparatus for lifting a mattress so as to facilitate the bed making process and make changing bed linens less strenuous. The apparatus comprises an inflatable member disposed between a mattress and box springs of a bed and having each of a predetermined shape and a predetermined size and being formed of a predetermined material. A fluid communication means is engageable at a first end thereof with the inflatable member and an air pump is engageable with a second end of the fluid communication means for providing air for inflating the inflatable member. A power means is engageable with the air pump for providing power to operate the air pump and a switch means is engageable between the power means and the air pump means for activating and deactivating the air pump. A valve means is disposed in one of the fluid communication means and the pump means for controlling inflation and deflation of the inflatable member as desired.
