A fitting assembly for attaching an elongate member to a surface within a shower or bath area includes a clamp including a collar arranged to receive and abut the elongate member, the collar having an axially extending split, the clamp further including a finger extending outwardly from the collar adjacent one side of the split. A cover includes an aperture arranged to receive the elongate member, the cover arranged to retain the clamp within such that the collar is axially aligned with the aperture. A bracket is arranged to be fixed to the surface and to receive and retain the cover containing the clamp, the bracket comprising a receiving portion arranged to urge the finger so as to compress the collar portion at the split, thereby clamping the elongate member within the collar.

A handle assembly has a first handle with first and second end regions connected to and fixed relative to first and second mounts on a wall, respectively. A second handle extends longitudinally between third and fourth end regions, with the third end region connected to the first end region of the first handle. The first and second handles each have surfaces for grasping by a user. A position of the second grab bar is adjustable relative to the first grab bar by at least one of one of pivoting the second grab bar about the longitudinal axis of the first grab bar, pivoting the second grab bar about a horizontal axis adjacent to the first end region of the first grab bar, and sliding the second grab bar along the first grab bar. A method of installing the handle assembly is also provided.

A handicap palm assist system includes a first shell, and a second shell, and at least one connector for removably attaching a first shell to the second shell. The first shell and the second shell are sized to fit a handrail, such as for disabled individuals. In some embodiments, the handicap palm assist system includes a handrail. The first shell and second shell are sized to removably attach to the handrail. In still another embodiment, a collar is formed integrally with the handrail. In other embodiments, a plurality of collars are formed integrally with the handrail.

An adjustable bathroom handrail assembly is provided with a pair of elongate vertical handles with mounting hardware to mount to an upright support surface and spaced apart from the upright support surface. An adjustable horizontal bar extends between the pair of vertical handles, and a locking mechanism connects the at least one adjustable horizontal bar and one of the pair of elongate vertical handles. A locking mechanism is located at an intersection of the horizontal bar and the one of the elongate vertical handles. A method for installing and adjusting wall-mount hardware installs a pair of elongate vertical handles to an upright support surface. The ends of a horizontal bar are installed onto the pair of elongate vertical handles. A locking mechanism on the horizontal bar is disengaged to adjust the horizontal bar to a location along the pair of elongate vertical handles.

A support assembly that includes a structural member that is delimited by a first end and a second end with a first end cap configured to be at least partially disposed within the first end of the structural member and a second end cap configured to be at least partially disposed within the second end of the structural member to mount the structural member to a structure. The support assembly allows for forces to be applied in all directions without causing rotation or disengagement of the support assembly from a mounting structure.

The invention provides an adjustable grab bar apparatus that allows a user to easily and quickly position the grab bar to suit his/her particular requirements and capabilities, without the need for tools and/or additional hardware. Adjustment may be done by users with impaired dexterity and/or limited strength, since adjustment is accomplished using a simple interface such as a manual crank, a switch (e.g., push-button or touch sensitive), a foot pedal, etc. Embodiments include a self-locking feature wherein the grab bar remains secure at any user-selected position, and adjustment is a simple one-step procedure in that there is no need to disengage a locking mechanism prior to adjusting the grab bar position and/or engage a locking mechanism after adjusting the grab bar position.

A toilet installed in a bathroom includes a toilet bowl and a tank coupled to the toilet bowl. The tank can contain fluid for the toilet bowl. A rear surface of the tank is flush against a wall of the bathroom such that there is no gap between the tank and the wall and a bottom surface of the tank is flush against a floor of the bathroom such that there is no gap between the tank and the floor. The tank extends longitudinally above and below the toilet bowl and laterally outward past the toilet bowl such that a first side surface and a second side surface of the tank define outermost side peripheries of the toilet.

A shower gripping accessory device is provided which may comprise an elongate cylindrical body having a plurality of terminal ends. The elongate cylindrical body may comprise an outer shell body and a cavity therein. The thickness value of the outer shell body may be substantially between one-quarter to one-half a radius value of the cavity. Further, a multilayered frictional surface substrate may be disposed over the outer shell body. The multilayered frictional surface substrate may comprise a flexible polymer base layer, one or more adhesive resin layers and a frictional material layer. The one or more adhesive resin layers may couple the frictional material layer to the flexible polymer base layer.

A support assembly that includes a structural member that is delimited by a first end and a second end with a first end cap configured to be at least partially disposed within the first end of the structural member and a second end cap configured to be at least partially disposed within the second end of the structural member to mount the structural member to a structure. The support assembly allows for forces to be applied in all directions without causing rotation or disengagement of the support assembly from a mounting structure.
