A pad is made by inserting a comb through a row of holes along the spine of the pad, which has been assembled with a relatively stiff backing leaf overlying a cover leaf and curving the comb teeth over to form a closure joint between the ends of the teeth and the back of the comb. The binding apparatus includes a turn-over device for turning over the stiff backing leaf so that the latter now underlies the pad with the closure joint lying between the penultimate (or last normal) leaf of the pad a...

A one piece resilient and compressible pad having a generally oblong shape has a flat bottom surface with a rounded rear end, generally parallel longitudinal sides, a substantially straight forward end and rounded corners connecting the forward end to the longitudinal sides. The top surface of the pad is contoured with the forward end of the pad having a flat portion of maximum thickness and its heel end having a flat portion of lesser thickness. A sloping portion is provided between the two fla...

A pad for the key cups of wind musical instruments for use in selectively sealing tone holes and spit holes, comprising a plastic disc made up of two layers, one of which is suited for sealing the hole and the other of which is less stiff and carries a layer of contact adhesive and a release paper. The invention is used by forcing the disc into the key cup which causes the paper to take a set on the inside concavity of the key cup thus exposing an annulus of adhesive coated surface. This annulus...

Surgical pads for relieving the pain of corns, callouses, bunions, abrasions, etc., which pads are made of thermoplastic chemical foam and each having an affliction-receiving cavity pressed into the body of the pad from the underface of the pad.

A pad removably mountable on a golf bag for protecting the bag against wear.

Two traction pads are formed with lugs which bite into ice or snow. The pads are connected together by chains having a length such that the chains are taut when one pad is under a front wheel of an auto and the other pad is under the rear wheel of the auto. This way, the weight of the car on the front pad keeps the traction force of the rear wheels from flinging the traction pad out from under the wheels and behind the car.

An incontinence device consisting of a rectangular pad of absorbent material incorporating along its upper surface at least one strip of a skeleton polyester foam material, the function of which is to enable urine to flow rapidly to the surface of those regions of the pad not immediately saturated by urine. In a preferred embodiment there are provided three strips of skeleton foam, two peripheral and one along the center line of the pad, to enhance further the capability of the device to absorb ...

Pad devices disposed between a lift sling and a load. The pad permitting relative sliding motion between the load and the sling without the sling and the load being in direct contact. This avoids damage to the sling and/or the load during the lift.

Knee pads which are to be worn while a person is working on a surface in a kneeling position have a first section provided with a first portion to be attached to a lower leg and a knee seat to accommodate the knee cap and the upper portion of the tibia, a second section connected to the first section and having a seat for a buttock and the adjacent portion of the upper leg and a support engageable with the surface when the user is kneeling with body weight transferred to the surface by the knee ...

A pad for absorbing lacteal fluid is constructed comprising an absorbent central portion, a moisture-impermeable outer portion, and a fluid-transmitting body-contacting portion. Between the body-contacting portion and the absorbent central portion there is positioned a layer of material which has a higher degree of capillary transfer of lacteal fluid than said body-contacting portion, whereby capillary spread of fluid in said body-contacting portion is minimized.
