Abstract: An attachment is provided which can be retrofitted to conventional smoke alarms to make it possible to deactivate the smoke alarm in order to avoid operation of the alarm as a result of intentionally produced smoke which does not represent the threat of fire. The attachment provides a signal that the smoke alarm has been deactivated, the signal serving to remind occupants that the alarm is deactivated. Particularly advantageous embodiments make it simple and easy to replace the battery of the smoke alarm.

Abstract: A flexible plug-to-socket connection firming-up device which is at least partly foldable from an initially substantially flat and inoperative state to at least a partly folded operative state includes an adhesive strip adapted for being connected to at least a holder of the socket, and flaps connected to the adhesive strip, and adapted to be at least partially wrapped around the plug so as to restrain the plug from being unintentionally unplugged from the socket.

Abstract: A device for relieving skin itch includes a flexible mesh sheet having a pair of spaced bare electrical wires interleaved within the sheet. An electrically non-conductive cover sheet is applied to one side of the mesh sheet while portions of the electrode wires are exposed on the other side of mesh sheet for contact application to the skin to relieve itching when a voltage is applied to the terminal ends of the electrode wires. The mesh sheet may be stored in a roll and cut to any desired length appropriate to the skin area to be treated.
