Abstract: Inflatable balance equipment for training dogs that includes an inflatable pad in the general shape of a right rectangular prism with rounded edges and with an indentation in each of two opposite sides with each indentation spanning a height of the side it is in, and two handles unitarily using the same material as the inflatable pad with one handle positioned in each of the indentations. The inflatable pad can also include markings along either or both of the longitudinal or horizontal axis of the pad that can be used by a trainer to position the dog on the pad. A connecting device can be used to connect multiple pads together at the handles to create an array of pads.

Abstract: An inflatable portable ledge apparatus comprises an inflatable platform having a plurality of transverse baffles and a plurality of longitudinal baffles. There are a plurality of suspension straps connected to the inflatable platform. The suspension straps are connected the inflatable platform so that a load on the inflatable platform is distributed across all the suspension straps when the portable ledge apparatus is anchored at a single point.

Abstract: A pillow is provided herein which includes a cover having opposing first and second panels. A gusset perimetrically bounds, and joins, the first and second panels. The gusset is formed of an open cell construction. Compliant fill material is disposed within the cover. Advantageously, with the subject invention, a pillow is provided allowing for lateral ventilation between opposing panels. This permits a cooling effect while a user is resting or sleeping.

Abstract: A rescue raft that includes a buoyant, elongated floor and a pair of parallel air chambers or pontoons on each side thereof is disclosed. Together, the floor and the parallel flotation members possess sufficient buoyancy to prevent the raft and a victim thereon from sinking. The raft also includes series of graspable members, extending across the floor and distributed sequentially along its longitudinal extent, that facilitate a victim's entry onto the raft and, when oriented vertically, form a ladder that assists entry onto a rescue boat. In a first embodiment, the graspable members are a series of cut-out windows through the raft floor. In a second embodiment, similar windows are formed by transverse inflatable rungs secured to the parallel air chambers. In a third embodiment, the windows are replaced with buoyant segments or cushions that project from the floor.

Abstract: A mattress composed of various innerspring type mattress modules for use in boats, motorhomes, and recreational vehicles. Each module has large-screened side openings to match the side openings of adjacent modules to facilitate the exchange of air into the module or to facilitate air flow through a module to an isolated one.
