Publication number: 20110131890Abstract: A drop cloth includes: a sheet of material having a length that is greater than its width; and a series of panels, each panel being connected to the sheet in series along the length of the sheet. The length may be substantially greater than the width. The panels are generally identical to one another and are equally spaced along the length of the sheet such that the spacing is sufficient for the sheet to be folded in-between adjacent panels such that the panes are stacked, the spacing between adjacent panels being about twice the thickness of each panel. The drop cloth can be used for protection against drips and spills when painting along a wall of a room.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2010Publication date: June 9, 2011Inventors: Danny SWEENEY, Michael Sherman, James Dale, William Lane Ball, Scott Pyle

Publication number: 20110131891Abstract: A water deflection system is provided for use with a wall mounting assembly, wherein the water deflecting system and the wall mounting assembly are suitable for mounting to a wall of a structure, such as a building. The wall mounting assembly includes a mounting plate and a cover plate. The mounting plate and the cover plate of the wall mounting assembly are spaced apart from one another and/or provide sufficient clearance to allow for a downward flow of water therebetween. The water deflection system interrupts, channels, and/or directs this downward flow of water and safely diverts the water away from the region proximate to the top portion of the cut hole towards a region proximate to and/or below the bottom of the cut hole, thereby preventing the damage associated with water being introduced behind the siding.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2011Publication date: June 9, 2011Applicant: TAPCO INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Aundrea Nurenberg, Michael C. Clark
