PRIVACY MESH AND ASSOCIATED METHODS
A privacy mesh configured for effectively creating a one-way privacy screen in an opening of a space, along with associated methods of use and manufacture, are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the privacy mesh provides an interior surface and an opposing exterior surface. The interior surface provides an interior visual design configured to minimize any visual obstruction created by the privacy mesh when looking through the interior surface of the privacy mesh from within the space. The exterior surface provides an exterior visual design configured to visually obscure an interior of the space when looking through the exterior surface of the privacy mesh from outside of the space. In use, the privacy mesh is positionable in, between, or in front of the opening such that the exterior surface of the privacy mesh is spaced apart from the opening, with the interior surface facing the space and the opposing exterior surface facing outwardly away from the space toward an exterior of the space.

SEAT DIVIDER SAIL
A vertical seat blocking/divider device includes a seat back connector and a seat cushion connector. The vertical seat blocking/divider device is disposed on the center of an aircraft seat to block occupancy of the aircraft seat and establish a barrier between neighboring seats. In a further aspect, the vertical seat blocking/divider device includes a spring element to apply a force to the fabric of the seat blocking/divider device. In a further aspect, the vertical seat blocking/divider device may include armrest connectors on opposing surfaces so that the vertical seat blocking/divider device can be disposed between occupied seats to create a barrier between passengers.
PORTABLE SOUND SYSTEM
A system for enhancing sound provided by at least a first and a second speaker driver symmetrically positioned relative to a first side and a second side of a listener. The system includes a enclosure structure having a first portion relative to the first speaker driver and the first side of the listener, including a material having a sound reflective surface, and positioned between a first area proximate the first speaker driver and a second area proximate the first side of the listener. The enclosure structure also has a second portion relative to the second speaker driver and the second side of the listener, including a material having a sound reflective surface, and positioned between a third area proximate the second speaker driver and a fourth area proximate the second side of the listener.
SANITARY SHIELD
Example aspects of a sanitary shield and a method of folding a sanitary shield are disclosed. The sanitary shield can comprise a lower shield defining a upper end and a lower end, the lower shield comprising a lower center wall, a first lower sidewall angled relative to the lower center wall, and a second lower sidewall angled relative to the lower center wall, the lower end of the lower shield configured to rest on a support surface; and an upper shield coupled to the lower shield at the upper end, the upper shield comprising an upper center wall, a first upper sidewall angled relative to the upper center wall, and a second upper sidewall angled relative to the upper center wall, wherein the sanitary shield is positionable in an upright configuration, each of the lower shield and upper shield oriented substantially vertical in the upright configuration.
Screen
A screen mountable on a chairback of a chair can include a primary panel, a vertical strap, and a brace assembly. The primary panel can have a front and back sides, extend between first and second lateral edges and between top and bottom vertical edges. The vertical strap can be fixed to the front side at first and second ends and extend around the chairback. The vertical strap can be formed to elastically stretch around the chairback. The brace assembly can be fixed to the front side to urge the top vertical edge forward. A second end of the brace assembly can be selectively engageable with the front side at a second position above the first position. The second end can be engaged with the front side in operation and disengaged from the front side when not in operation.

DEPLOYABLE PERSONAL SAFETY SHIELD
A deployable personal safety shield comprises a pair of longitudinally elongated members; a pair of bases for supporting the elongated members in an upstanding orientation; and a flexible member connectable the elongated members and extendable therebetween to provide an upstanding shield when the longitudinal members are spaced apart and supported by the bases.
Clamp for Extending Height of Cubicle Walls
A system for extending the height of a cubicle wall is disclosed. The system comprises a vertical wall extender and a clamp. The clamp further includes an upper portion that receives the vertical wall extender, the upper portion further includes two jaws that apply a compressive force to the wall extender fixing it to the upper channel. The clamp also includes a lower portion that is mounted to the existing cubicle wall, the lower channel further includes two sections, the first section containing a nut channel with a nut disposed therein, the second section containing a slot through which the screw can thread into the nut. Further improvements for the system are disclosed, along with a method for using the system.
Portable Recreational Device with Safety Folding Apparatus
A portable expandable device with a contracting mechanism which allows for many forms of recreational products and structures to be expanded, reinforced in the expanded shape, and then contracted easily to regain its portable form. The expansion means is exercised by the use of at least one of the following, resiliently extending, unfolding, inflating, as to become an expanding form which can then be easily retracted to the redeployed form. The retraction mechanism reverses the expansion process utilizing a mechanism which sequentially exerts the forces needed in the proper locations in order to ensure proper contraction. Disclosed embodiments utilized supplemental structural reinforcement of the expanded form through the use of joints, releasable interlocks, latching mechanisms, air bladders, to ensure the form is stable and usable. The objective being a stable structure with a rapid and easy deployment and a supplemental retraction means as to be easily transportable.
