Back plate assemblies for home hardware
A back plate assembly for home hardware is provided with a base and an attachment. The base includes at least one mount aperture and is adapted to be mounted to a support surface. The base defines a receptacle, a through-hole, a pair of grooves disposed at an outer edge of the through-hole, and a pair of ledges offset from an inner edge of the through-hole. The attachment includes a lock member with a pair of lock features and a connector member sized for insertion between the pair of ledges when the attachment is oriented in a first radial position. Each of the pair of lock features is positioned on the attachment for insertion within one of the grooves and the connector member is sized to rest upon the ledges when the connector member extends through the through-hole and the attachment is rotated to a second radial position.

GRIPPING TOWEL
A towel includes a body formed from a first material and having a first side and an opposed second side. A first gripping area is disposed on at least a first portion of the first side of the body. The gripping area includes a plurality of friction elements formed from a second material that is different from the first material.
Dish towel with separable mating elements
The dish towel with separable mating elements is an attachment device that is adapted to work with a dish towel. The attachment device comprises a first element and a second element. The second element is attached to the dish towel. The first element is attached to a stationary object such as the door handle of a refrigerator or an oven. The attachment device holds the dish towel in a storage position until first element is separated from the second element which allows the dish towel to be used. The dish towel with separable mating elements comprises a dish towel and an attachment device.
DEVICES FOR PREVENTING TOWEL SLIPPAGE
Devices, apparatus and systems for preventing towels from slipping off a towel holder are disclosed. The apparatus, devices and systems may include a surface that provides a frictional interface between the towel and towel holder. Two opposing edges of such a device may each include at least one raised or enlarged attachment formation which, when the device is moved from an unraveled condition to an engaged condition, may be aligned and connected to effectively connect the edges to each other. Such a device may further include a plurality of friction formations configured to face and contact a towel and a plurality of ridges configured to face and contact a towel holder when the device is in an engaged condition, surrounding a towel holder and supporting a towel.

TOWEL RACK
In one aspect there is provided a towel rack having a width and comprising a wall mounting bracket and a towel support frame. The wall mounting bracket is for fastening the towel rack to a wall. The towel support frame is supported by the wall mounting bracket and defines a perimeter thereabout and a plane therebetween. The length of the perimeter is longer than the width of the towel rack. The towel support frame may be secured in a drying configuration so as to orient said plane substantially perpendicular to the wall. When in the drying configuration, a towel may be positioned on the towel support frame substantially around said perimeter.

Clipping Apparatus to Keep a Towel In-place
A clipping apparatus to keep a towel in place includes an interchangeable embellishment and a towel clip. The towel clip is configured with a first stem, a second stem, and a spring loaded connector as the first stem and the second stem are tensionally connected to each other through the spring loaded connector. A user is able to open the towel clip by compressing the first stem and the second stem together. Once the towel clip is opened and positioned with a bath towel, the first stem and the second stem are released so that the towel clip is able to firmly secure the bath towel against the user's body. The interchangeable embellishment is selectively attached to a front surface of the first stem to enhance the appearance of the towel clip.
