The invention relates to a convertible cushion that may be used as a blanket in an unfolded configuration or used as a cushion or bed in a folded configuration. One use of such a device relates to a fully washable pet bed. When folded, the convertible cushion may be used by a pet as a bed. When unfolded, the convertible cushion may be used as a blanket. Additionally, the device is constructed of material that is fully washable so that it may be washed in a typical household washing machine when in the unfolded position and fully cleaned.

For some configurations, the convertible cushion may further be used in a pocketbook mode, a backpack mode, and a sleeping bag mode (by combining two or more convertible cushions).

Portable motor-driven transportation means consists essentially of a personal portable motor-driven transportation means (PMT), with a telescopic handle on the upper part (2), a hand grip (25), where stowage is preferably done with a backpack (1), which offers protection and which is easily carried or slung over one's back, in a simple, practical and fast manner when arriving at one's destination or when it can no longer be used. The board is retractable and/or foldable (8), offering an additional extension (8′), proving to be extremely practical in its use. This additional space (8′) can receive any object, adding a seat, or even another person. In the personal portable motor-driven transportation means (PMT), the driver and rolling wheel assemblies, such as the drive shaft (12) with a free wheel (13) and a pulled wheel (14); with a free axle (3) with free wheels (4); simple axle (3′) with free wheel (4), considering several traction combinations, with simultaneous or partial operation, varying between 4×4, 4×2, 2×1, front or rear, with the aid of an electric motor activation system (15) in the traction, guaranteeing a multifunctional and ecologically correct personal portable motor-driven transportation means (PMT).

The invention provides a luggage apparatus (10, 110) capable of being used in normal mode and alternately in child carrying mode. Luggage apparatus (10, 110) has a top (12, 112) a bottom (14, 114), a front (16, 116), a rear (18, 118) and opposing sides (20, 120) and (22, 122). The dimension between the front (16, 116) and the rear (18, 118) is longer than the dimension between the opposing sides (20, 120) and (22, 122). A first wheel means (24, 124) is located in the vicinity of the front (16, 116). The first wheel means (24, 124) is used to wheel luggage apparatus (10, 110) in normal mode. A second wheel means (28, 128) is located in the vicinity of the rear (18, 118) and, in conjunction with the first wheel means (24, 124), can be used to wheel the luggage apparatus (10, 110) in child carrying mode. A child seat (44, 144) is foldable within the luggage apparatus (10, 110) in normal mode and unfoldable in child carrying mode to be positioned on or above the top (12, 112) of the luggage apparatus (10, 110). In child carrying mode, the longer dimension is substantially parallel to the ground supporting the luggage apparatus (10, 110) and the unfolded child seat (44, 144) is positioned so that the centre of gravity of the child seat (44, 144) and any child thereon is substantially between the front (16, 116) and the rear (18, 118).

A folding wheelchair comprising a luggage compartment, a collapsible frame and wheels, the wheels being mounted to a chassis of the collapsible frame for supporting the folding wheelchair in use, the collapsible frame having a first support pivotally mounted to the chassis at a first end of the first support, the first support and chassis being configured to rotate relative to one another between a stowed position, in which the chassis and the first support are adjacent, and an erect position in which the first support extends away from the chassis to support a seat and handles for pushing the folding wheelchair.

The present invention is directed to stylist's portable salon for providing a work space for a stylist that may be taken with the stylist to any location where a client is available for service. The portable salon comprises a portable case, an adjustable chair, and an accessory stand. The present invention further includes improved accessories, including a chair with a hinged chair base, a variety of accessory trays and mirror attachments for attaching to the portable base and accessory stand, and a silicone pocket for insulating and holding heated tools.

A mobile field-deployable laboratory to more conveniently enable the detecting, sequencing and analyzing of biological agents at the point-of-need. This device enables field operators to go from sample to actionable information in the field without the need for an internet connection or grid-based power. The present mobile laboratory is configured in a footlocker configuration including a plurality of different compartments specifically configured for holding all of the necessary equipment for use in a wide variety of different applications including successfully extracting, amplifying, sequencing and characterizing specific viruses, pathogens and other bacteria directly in the field including an integrated power supply for providing power to the relevant components for up to 72 hours of continuous use without the need for any external power source. The present mobile laboratory includes a deployable workbench area which provides a stable workstation when the footlocker configuration is deployed.

A luggage apparatus and method is described herein that introduce a separate wheeled sub-frame that mounts on the base of a luggage apparatus and which allows for dual mode use between an upright mode and a tilt mode. The geometry of the relationship between the bag frame and sub-frame of the luggage apparatus urges the bag to tilt and return upright. The luggage apparatus is securely supported about the sub-frame in both modes with a changing centre of gravity and can be pushed or pulled in either mode.
