An mat system with each mat having sloping lips which overlap with an adjacent mat's sloping lips and are secured by interlocking joints in the mats' lips and/or by captive locking pins to form an easily assembled and interconnected flat surface. In use, opposing ledges forms a slot within holes in the top overlapping lips to receive a captive locking pin. The pin is captive by mid body prongs which fix underneath the ledges in a mat's upper lip's holes, and the pin locks and unlocks with rotary turning of the pin resulting in the pin's keeper feet fixing underneath the similar ledges in the holes of the lower lip of an adjacent mat.

A waste container provides at least one protrusion spaced below a lip extending radially outwardly from an upper edge of the waste container. The at least one protrusion is spaced below the lip to permit a gripper from an automatic lifter to grasp the waste container between the at least one protrusion and the upper lip. The at least one protrusion may be a plurality of triangular shaped bosses formed midway between the upper edge and lower edge of the waste container. Alternatively, the at least one protrusion may be a base portion which extends radially outwardly at a lower edge of the waste container. The at least one protrusion prevents the waste container from slipping completely through the grippers while the waste container is inverted while emptying the contents into a truck.

A patient interface is described which is reduces the pressure of the mask on the users face. The patient interface has a sealing interface having an inner sealing member and an outer sealing member. The inner and outer sealing members are adapted to seal around the facial contours of a user providing a sealed fluid communication to the user's respiratory tract. The inner and outer sealing members are at least continuously in contact with each other around the portions where the sealing interface contacts the user's facial contours. The inner sealing member may be provided with cut outs to provide additional flexibility to particular areas, such as the nasal bridge, upper lip or cheek regions and may be provided with a contoured edge to better fit the facial contours of a user.

An underlayment for use between a veneer material and a foundation surface comprises a base layer and a series of supports extending upwardly from the base layer. The supports are configured to create voids in a layer of bonding material used to adhere the veneer material to the underlayment. Each of the supports includes at least one outer wall extending upwardly from the base layer and terminating at an upper lip, a bowl area defined adjacent a center of the support; and an internal wall extending downwardly from the upper lip toward the center of the support to at least partially define the bowl area within each of the supports.

The invention relates to the technical field of pressure cookers, and provides an extraction fresh-keeping electric pressure cooker which comprises a cooker body, an outer pot, an inner pot, an outer cover and an inner cover, wherein a circumferential groove with an opening facing upwards is formed in the outer side of the opening of the inner pot; a seal ring is arranged between the inner cover and the inner pot, and comprises an upper lip and a lower lip; the upper lip is clung to the inner side of the inner cover; the lower lip is a vertical annular ring; when the inner cover is in a closed state, the lower lip extends into the circumferential groove; a hose is connected onto the inner cover; one end of the hose is communicated to the inner side of the inner cover in a sealed manner; a mini-type vacuum pump is arranged in the cooker body; the other end of the hose is communicated to the mini-type vacuum pump. The extraction fresh-keeping electric pressure cooker has the advantages that the problem of short fresh-keeping time of residual food in the conventional cooker is solved; the mini-type vacuum pump is started to extract residual air in the extraction fresh-keeping electric pressure cooker, so that pressure in the extraction fresh-keeping electric pressure cooker becomes lower, the lower lip is clung to the inner side wall of the circumferential groove, and external air cannot enter the extraction fresh-keeping electric pressure cooker, that is, the purpose of keeping the residual food fresh for a long time can be realized; as a user needs not to pour the residual food out of the extraction fresh-keeping electric pressure cooker for fresh-keeping in another container, the use is more convenient.

An embodiment of the present invention is a nasal cannula for delivering continuous positive airway pressure (“CPAP”) to a patient's nares during operative procedures or in critical care areas. A malleable metal or plastic is encased in the bridge of the cannula to allow it to be shaped to the patient's face. As a result of contouring the cannula to the face, air leaks are minimized allowing a seal to be provided when an op site is applied to cover the upper lip, nasal cannula and nose. The cannula's nasal inserts can end in nontapered or slightly tapered non-sealing beads, which may be slightly angled out to accommodate various facial anatomies. When approximately several liters per minute of oxygen are flowed through the cannula, CPAP is obtained.

The present invention provides a nasal pad for use in a mask assembly for delivering pressurized gas to a patient's nose for therapy under continuous positive air pressure. The nose pad includes self-supporting side walls defining a nose receiving cavity; the side walls extending from a first end to a second end. The side wall is continuously formed by a thin septum, wherein the septum extends inwardly from the second end of the side wall into the nose receiving cavity so as to seal with the patient's nose, upper lip and cheek join. The sidewall has a continuously varying thickness. The first end of the side wall is adapted to engage a mask frame. The present invention also provides a mask assembly for delivering pressurized air to a patient, the assembly including nasal pads for sealing over the nose, cheek and lip areas, the nasal pads being as described; for receiving the nasal pads a frame; and a helmet; the helmet includes rigid arms for positioning behind the patient's ears.

The present invention relates to a surface covering (100) comprising panels (200) and at least one extraneous locking element (300). The panels (200) are provided with respective longitudinal and transverse coupling means (400, 500) which are adapted to connect similar panels (200) at corresponding adjacent edges (211, 211′, 213, 213′). The transverse coupling means (500) are adapted to form a channel (501) in coupled condition which is adapted to receive the extraneous locking element (300). When inserted into the channel (501) formed by the transverse coupling means (500) of panels (200) in a first row (206), the extraneous locking element is adapted to extend at least partially into the groove (430) of an adjacent parallel panel in the second row (207), such that a lower surface (305) of the extraneous locking element (300) is in contact with a lower lip contact portion (433), and the upper surface (307) of the extraneous locking element (300) is in contact with an upper lip contact portion (437).
