Abstract: An ear cover assembly having a resilient frame attached to ear covers via a rotatable mounting located in an upper portion of the ear cover, the resilient frame being configured to apply clamping force to hold the ear covers in place over the wearer's ears and the geometry of the frame and rotational mounting being configured to distribute clamping force over the ear cover to hold the assembly in place when worn. Thus, the ear cover assembly can be supported in place by the rotationally mounted frame rather than a headband. The frame can be used to support elements such as eye protectors, visors, face masks, microphone etc.

Abstract: A pet container for transporting pets, in particular for air shipment of pets, comprising an outer shell having a top portion and a bottom portion, wherein the outer shell defines a pet chamber for accommodating a pet, wherein the outer shell has an opening formed therein for providing access to the pet chamber and a door for opening and closing the opening, and a climate compartment for receiving a cooling or heating medium therein, wherein the climate compartment is provided below the pet chamber and has an orifice for horizontally inserting a cooling or heating medium into and removing a cooling or heating medium from the climate compartment.
