Abstract: A pressure sensor carrier system of fasteners is provided for conveniently and removably attaching a pressure sensor carrier to the top surface of a bed mattress in a manner that minimizes stress concentrations, wrinkles and folds in the carrier. The carrier includes pliable elastic straps at each corner and articulated semi-rigid flaps at each longitudinal side. The tension in the elastic straps and the position of the articulated flaps are independently adjustable to accommodate mattresses of different dimensions.

Abstract: A floor machine for cleaning a floor and/or wall and/or downward upstanding from the wall, includes at least one disc having a floor cleaning pad covering a lower surface and wall cleaning material projecting from its periphery. The wall cleaning material may be bristles or a wrap-around separate strip of abrasive felted material, or a margin of the floor cleaning pad may be bent upwardly to form a vertical cylindrical surface. Alternatively, floor pads may be stacked to present a vertical cylindrical wall cleaning surface. The disc may be engaged with a drive shaft, or stacked discs may interengage with each other, the topmost being engaged with the drive shaft. The bottom disc may have a bevel rising from the lower surface. Bristles extend from the bevel at right angles. When the floor machine rests on the floor in operation position, the bristles extending from the bevel are bent upwardly to be forced towards the angle between floor and wall.

Abstract: A floor machine for stripping, washing or otherwise treating the surface of the floor with a rotating treatment disc such as a brush or a pad. A protective skirt over the pad is arranged to "float", i.e. to drop freely over the disc with a view to minimizing the clearance between the floor and the skirt without detracting from the even ride of the disc over the floor.
