Safety illumination solutions for handrails, grab bars, floor mats and the like
09784415 · 2017-10-10 · ·

A safety cover for use on a handrail, grab bar or peripheral edge of a fixture or object at a darkened location. The cover features a longitudinally split tubular member of resiliently flexible material and an illumination source carried thereby that is operable to provide illumination of the darkened location. The tubular member has a circumferential resiliency that biases two free edges of the tubular member toward one another from to automatically close up the longitudinal split, whereby the tubular member frictionally grips the rail, bar or peripheral edge over which it is placed. An illuminating floor mat or toilet lid cover features at least one longitudinally-shaped illumination member running along at least one peripheral edge of the mat or cover with one or more light-emitting areas of said longitudinally-shaped illumination member in a visually detectable position left unconcealed by the mat or cover.

Cleaner dispensing toilet bowl brush and holder
11425993 · 2022-08-30 ·

A toilet bowl brush assembly, a toilet bowl brush, and a method of manufacturing the same. The brush includes a handle assembly that has a proximal end and a distal end and a brush head that includes a plurality of tufts of bristles disposed on an outer surface of the brush head, a cavity defined by an inner surface of the brush head, and a fastener portion. The toilet bowl brush assembly includes a base that forms a cup for receiving the brush head. The brush head selectively couples to the handle assembly distal end at the fastener portion of the brush head at a handle assembly-brush head connection. At least one of the base and the brush head define an interference feature for preventing the brush head from moving relative to the base as the handle assembly is selectively separated from the brush head.

System and method for controlling a plumbing fixture
09733631 · 2017-08-15 · ·

The present application relates to a system and method for controlling a plumbing fixture. The system includes a Bluetooth receiver module configured to receive a wireless signal from mobile equipment, a micro control unit in electrical communication with the Bluetooth receiver module, an asynchronous receiver and transmitter in electrical communication with the micro control unit, and a processor in electrical communication with the micro control unit and the plumbing fixture. The Bluetooth receiver module is configured to receive one or more wireless control speech data packets from mobile equipment, convert the one or more wireless control speech data packets into one or more digital signals, and transmit the one or more digital signals to the micro control unit. The micro control unit is configured to control one or more functions associated with the plumbing fixture in response to the one or more digital signals.

System with plunger and caddy
09730564 · 2017-08-15 · ·

A system includes a plunger and a caddy. The plunger includes a plunger cup, a plunger handle extending from a top of the plunger cup, and a plunger engagement member disposed relative to the top of the plunger cup. The caddy defines a first caddy cavity configured to receive at least a portion of the plunger cup when the system is in a carry mode. The caddy also defines a caddy stopper disposed relative to a top portion of the first caddy cavity. The caddy is configured such that, in the carry mode, the bottom of the plunger cup contacts a caddy base surface of the caddy that at least partially defines the first caddy cavity, and the plunger engagement member engages the caddy stopper, to thereby press-fittingly connect the plunger and the caddy.

PLUNGERS, TOILET BRUSHES, AND CADDY ASSEMBILES

Plungers and cleaning implement assemblies are described. The plungers include a handle having a tapering portion and a grip and a plunger member attached to the handle opposite the grip. The plunger member has a handle engagement portion configured to securely engage with the handle, at least one compression rib, a contact rib having an increased wall thickness section, wherein the increased wall thickness section of the contact rib is greater than a wall thickness of the at least one compression rib, and a plunger rim defining an opening to an internal cavity defined by the plunger member. The plunger member has a non-circular geometric shape in profile taken in a plane normal to an axis through the handle.
