The present invention provides a cleaning pad which can be used with various cleaning implement. The cleaning pad has an absorbent layer, attachment wings which can be attached to grippers located on the top surface of the mop head of a first cleaning implement and loop fasteners which can be attached to hook fasteners located on the bottom surface of the mop head of a second implement.

A rubber pad comprises a support plate having substantially the same shape as an outer surface of an iron shoe plate provided on its outer surface with lugs, a rubber block vulcanized and adhered to the support plate, wherein the support plate is provided with a bolt or a female member fixed to at least one side face of the support plate, a hook member fixed to the support plate at a position opposite to the bolt or female member. Further, the rubber pad is provided with a fastening member secur...

A method of forming a cushioning pad includes placing a component formed of polyurethane foam onto a first web of polyethylene foam. A second web of polyethylene foam is then placed over the component to sandwich the component. Heat and pressure is applied to the sandwich, which flattens the component and forms a seam between the first web and the second web encircling the component. If an unsealed cushioning pad is to be formed, a hollow needle is inserted into one of the first web or the secon...

These interface pads have a right and a left inflatable member with the volume of air in each of these inflatable members being independently adjustable. Each member is adapted to provide an interface between one side of a load-bearing animal and a load-supporting structure such as a saddle. Connecting means span the spinal area of the animal and link the members to one another in a manner that avoids the placement of any substantial compression on the animal's supraspinous ligament. Moreover, a...

A percussion pad includes an upper surface 28 that may be struck to activate the pad and a lower surface 18 on which is mounted a sensor 20 for detecting when the upper surface 28 is struck. An enclosed cavity 24 is located above the region of the lower surface 18 on which the sensor 20 is mounted. The cavity 24 prevents the shock wave of an impact above the sensor 20 from being transmitted directly to the sensor 20. Because shock waves will not propagate significantly around the cavity or along...

This article is a padded gap protector for hospital beds that provides zero clearance no matter what the articulated position of the bed is. The pad remains in compression with the mattress and closes the gap between the mattress and side rails. The pad provides a zero gap when the matters is in a horizontal position and when the mattress is secured in an articulate position such as an elevated position. Straps secure the pad to a bed frame beneath the mattress to maintain compression and a V-sh...

A rail pad that is formed from elastomeric material has an upper face adapted to underlie a lower face of a rail. The lower face is adapted to overlie a concrete rail foundation member. The elastomeric rail pad generally has a rectangular plan configuration. The elastomeric pad includes a reinforcement member, which is generally parallel to its mean plane and which extends at least between dispositions associated with generally opposing comers of the generally rectangular pad. The reinforcing me...

This invention provides a pair of pads for covering the area of the femur nearest the hip joint to distribute trauma forces to surrounding soft tissue areas, thereby protecting the bones proximate the hip joint from direct insult from injury when a person falls. The pads thereby spare the weak and osteoporatic bone from fractures. Each pad includes an inner core of linear density polyethylene molded to a shape to fit the proximal femur. The inner core of polyethylene or other suitable plastic co...

The invention provides an elastomeric rail pad of generally rectangular plan configuration, the pad having an upper face adapted to underly the lower face of a rail, and a lower face adapted to overly a rail foundation member, wherein each of the upper and the lower faces of the pad is provided with a multiplicity of distinct and separate portions, when separately viewed from adjacent side edges of the rectangular pad, raised above the base level of the respective face and adapted to engage the ...

A gel of specific composition is encased in a flexible elastic casing to form a gel pad. The gel used is made up of (a) 15-62 weight % (based on (a)+(b)) of a high molecular weight covalently cross-linked polyurethane matrix and (b) 85-38 weight % (based on (a)+(b)) of a liquid dispersing agent. The liquid dispersing agent is a polyhydroxy compound having an average molecular weight between 1000 and 12,000, and an OH number between 20 and 112. This dispersing agent contains essentially no hydrox...
