A shield for protecting furniture against damage that a pet can cause, includes a body and a lock. The body is expandable from a collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration by moving in a first direction a first end relative to a second end. When the body is in the expanded configuration and positioned adjacent furniture, the body can cover a region of the furniture. The lock includes a first portion and a second portion, and is operable to maintain the body in the expanded configuration when the first and second portions engage each other. With the shield's body in the collapsed configuration, one can easily transport the shield to any location. With the shield's body in the expanded configuration, one can cover a region of furniture with the body and thus discourage a pet from sitting or lying on top of the shield. With the body in the expanded configuration, the shield may also be used as a barrier to protect a leg or other vertical portion of a piece of furniture.

An airline tray sleeve includes a main body having a top surface, a bottom surface and a side surface that define an interior space. An opening having a retention device is positioned along a back end of the main body. One or more pockets are suspended from the main body, and the sleeve is constructed from a lightweight malleable material that transforms into a refuse bag after use.

A system for reversibly attaching a flexible substrate (e.g., a fabric panel) to another surface comprises one or more magnetic elements and one or more magnetically responsive elements. The magnetic elements and magnetically responsive elements are disposed on the flexible substrate and the surface so that they engage and produce a reversible attachment of the flexible substrate and the surface.

A multi-functional tray table cover is configured with a flexible sleeve and a relatively more rigid use area that enables users to simultaneously hygienically protect themselves from the tray table while still having an area for functional and practical purposes. For example, the flexible sleeve, which may be comprised of a spandex material, can stretch or at least encapsulate a tray table. Once positioned over the tray table, the rear side of the sleeve is exposed while the tray table is in a down position. When the user props up the tray table, the use portion of the tray table cover is exposed. The use portion includes a series of receptacles, such as pockets, pouches, and the like, that the user can input various items, such as water or other bottles, pens, pencils and other writing utensils, and other personal or professional items.

The present technology relates to furniture covers, in particular, to knitted items of material that are configured to cover pieces of furniture such as chairs, couches, stools, tables, mattresses or box springs, and that are knitted from environmentally friendly fibers that constitute recycled or recyclable materials. Such furniture covers are aesthetically appealing, durable, environmentally friendly, easy to use and change, and otherwise sufficient to satisfy users' practical and design goals. They also have the advantage of permitting a user to dispose the furniture covers, and remove them, without disturbing adjacent pieces of furniture, particularly in the case of a box spring that can be covered without removing the mattress stacked on top.

There is provided a counter pad, comprising: a non-abrasive and flexible surface including: a work surface designed for placement of jewelry, and a data communication interface configured for communicating with at least one screen for presenting the data associated with an identifier of the jewelry, an RFID antenna(s) positioned within the non-abrasive and flexible surface and below the work surface, the RFID antenna(s) configured to transmit and/or receive signals from a RFID tag(s) located on the jewelry when the jewelry is located on the work surface, an RFID reader(s) configured to process the signals to determine the identifier of the jewelry, a wireless network interface(s) configured to communicate with a wireless network, a processor(s) executing a code for accessing a server over the wireless network for obtaining data associated with the identifier, a memory for storing the code and the data, and a battery.

The invention concerns an apparatus comprising a sterile cover and a protective cover. The sterile cover may be configured to prevent a contamination of a surface. The protective cover may be configured to fit over a first portion of the sterile cover and provide protection against a sharp edge piercing the sterile cover. The first portion of the sterile cover may be within the protective cover. A second portion of the sterile cover creates an open end that may extend out of an open edge of the protective cover. The open end and the open edge may enable the sterile cover and the protective cover to slide over a top side and a bottom side of the surface together. An attachment may connect the protective cover to the sterile cover.
