Oval Cover Member for Pre-Cast Concrete Lift Hook
An oval cover member is formed of high density polyethylene and sized to cover a pocket in which a lift member is secured to a pre-cast concrete structural member. The cover member can be secured to the lift member by a cable tie threaded through the opening of a first protrusion, back through a smaller opening in a second protrusion and pulled to draw the cover member tightly against the concrete structural member. The opposing protrusions form a valley therebetween for the positioning of the lift member. The size of the smaller opening in the second protrusion is too small for the passage of the head of the cable tie, enabling the cover member to be tightly secured to the lift member. A peripheral channel in the cover member can receive a gasket or adhesive that can seal the cover member against the surface of the concrete structural member.

SELF-CLOSING ENTRYWAY PARTITION
An apparatus for an entryway includes: a sheet of material having a top, a bottom, a left side, and a right side, and a sleeve at the top of the sheet of material. The sheet of material has an opening extending to the bottom of the sheet of material between the left side and the right side of the sheet of material from a position below the sleeve. The opening has a left seam and a right seam, wherein a first magnet is positioned at the left seam of the opening and a second magnet is positioned at the right seam of the opening, wherein the first and second magnets are magnetically coupled. A variable-length cross member has a first end and a second end. The cross member is positioned in the sleeve and includes a first securing mechanism at the first end and a second securing mechanism at the second end that secure the cross member respectively to body portions of a first vertical pole and a second vertical pole.

TEMPORARY WALL SYSTEM WITH FIRE BLOCK PROTECTION
A barrier system for partitioning a space includes panels which interlock with each other to provide a barrier that is fire rated. The interlocking panels are assembled in the barrier in columns using a tongue and groove assembly and a panel lock using a strike and latch supported by the tongue member and groove member, respectively. Each panel includes a peripheral frame (that is shaped to provide the tongue and groove members), opposed steel side faces mounted to the peripheral frame, and an insulation block filling an interior space delimited by the peripheral frame and the opposed steel side faces. The insulation block includes a pair of insulating material layers that sandwich a radiant barrier layer. A floor module supports a bottom edge of the panel and an interface module supports a side/top edge of the panel. The floor/interface modules are configured with telescoping sections and are length trimmable.
STEP COVER AND STAIR COVER SYSTEM
A step cover and a stair cover system. The step cover includes a flat tread, a length of extruded plastic cap, and a spline. The tread having a front, two sides, and a back, a lower surface and an upper surface, at least the upper surface wrapped with a decorative film, the front and the sides each having a groove, the length of plastic cap having a curved cross section with two ends, an outer surface and an inner surface, a curved front, said back having two straight edges between the ends, at least one of the edges having a groove, the outer surface of the plastic cap wrapped with a decorative film, and the spline having a top surface and a bottom surface, the spline configured to fit into grooves in the tread and the plastic cap.

Drywall Particulate Catching Device
The present invention relates to a drywall particulate-catching device that catches dust, particulates, and debris while repairing drywall. The device is primarily comprised of a body having a pouch and a flap with at least one adhesive strip. During use, the device can be adhered to a drywall surface below a working area via the adhesive strip such that pouch of the body catches any dust, particulates, and debris created by the drywall maintenance. The flap can then be attached to the body via a second adhesive strip to seal the contents of the pouch such that it can be discarded.
