  • Patent number: 11077395
    Abstract: A portable air filter and method of use are provided. The portable air filter includes a semi-permeable air filter, optionally disposed within a frame. An attachment surface, such as an adhesive, is disposed on the frame, for attaching the portable air filter to an air vent. In certain embodiments, a second air filter and frame are slidably connected to the frame. If the portable air filter is not disposed within a frame, the portable air filter is cut to fit over an air vent, and an adhesive, such as tape, is provided for a user to attach the cut filter to fit over the air vent. The method includes attaching the portable air filter to an air vent by pressing the adhesive to a wall, ceiling, or floor such that the portable air filter covers the air vent. The invention is useful for improving air quality in a variety of spaces, including in an airplane, in a hotel, on a cruise ship, on a travel bus, and other public spaces.

  • Publication number: 20210000319
    Abstract: A reusable hand article for cleaning is provided. The reusable hand article includes a sleeve, having a top layer and a bottom layer, that can receive a hand therein. The bottom layer is attached to a water-resistant layer, which is attached to an absorbent layer. The absorbent layer absorbs a cleaning solution therein, and the water-resistant layer isolates and protects the hand from the cleaning solution. The top layer is attached to an abrasive layer, which aids a user in scrubbing a surface to remove accumulated dirt and grime therefrom. After placing the hand in the sleeve, applying the cleaning solution to the absorbent layer, and scrubbing the surface with the abrasive layer, the reusable hand article can be applied to the surface. The reusable hand article may be composed of one or more microwave-safe materials, enabling it to be microwaved for sterilization before storage or reuse.
