Abstract: A plurality of sections of fireproof material are movably mounted on the ceiling of a room in the area of a window in the room. The sections are shaped to enclose a predetermined area around the window. One of the sections is affixed to the ceiling and the remaining sections are movably mounted in coupled and cooperative relation with the one of the sections and with each other. In stored condition, the sections are in a minimum area in abutment with the ceiling and spaced from the floor. In extended condition, the sections form a continuous partition from ceiling to floor at a predetermined distance from and around the window and abut the wall at a predetermined distance from both sides of the window thereby isolating a predetermined area around the window from fire. A latch device releasably maintains the sections in stored condition and permits the sections to extend to the extended position when the latch device is released.

Abstract: A ball type umbrella covering the head and extending below the top of the shoulder line being held in place by a draw string arrangement. The umbrella device is double layered with means of inflation thereof providing optional inflating means at two points within and without the device. The two layers are welded at a multiplicity of points whereby the ball or globular appearance of the umbrella is substantially maintained after inflation and during use due to uniformity of air pressure throughout the interlayer space.
