Rail Profile with Attachment Mechanism and Related Methods
A profile system (1) for fastening objects to a room wall provided with a plate covering comprises at least one elongated rail profile (2), which extends in a longitudinal direction (L) and has a constant cross-section, and at least one plug element (3), which is designed to be fastened directly and detachably to the rail profile (2) in a plug-in manner. The rail profile (2), viewed in cross-section, has a substantially rectangular base section (6), whose depth (T) is adapted to the thickness of the plate covering and which is provided on its front side with a receiving groove (7) extending in the longitudinal direction (L) with a groove opening (9) accessible from the outside, and at least one fastening leg (13) which adjoins the rear side of the base section (6) substantially flush and projects outwards from the base section (6).
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.
Loose Hair Collection Device
A loose hair collection device that attaches to the shower wall for collecting lost hair while a person with long hair takes a shower. The device includes a pair of bristle pads that can be selectively disposed in a side-by-side (vertical) position, in an shelf (L) position, or in a face-to-face (U) position. A flex connector restrains the bristle pads in these positions without additional support. The face-to-face position facilitates collection of loose hair, the shelf positions provides a soap holder, while the side-by-side position facilitates cleaning of the collected loose hair from the device. The device may also include a water-tight pouch for holding a mobile device, or a speaker (and display screen if desired) and Bluetooth capability for wirelessly connecting to a mobile device locate outside the shower.
SLIDING TOILET PAPER HOLDER
A method and apparatus for dispensing toilet paper is disclosed. A sliding toilet paper holder includes a toilet paper holder configured to carry and dispense a roll of toilet paper. A slide assembly is coupled to the toilet paper holder and is attachable to a support structure adjacent to a toilet. The slide assembly operable between a stowed position and an extended position to selectively extend and retract the toilet paper holder. The apparatus and method permits a user to more readily access and dispense a desired quantity of toilet paper while seated on a toilet and to stow the toilet paper carried on the toilet paper holder when not needed. A spare tissue spindle may also be carried by the slide assembly.
Wall Attachment Device for Handrail and Handrail Assembly Comprising the Same
A wall attachment device for securing a handrail to a supporting wall, the handrail having a first end and a second end, at least one of the first and second ends being hollow and including an inner connecting member extending radially inwardly within the corresponding end, the device comprising: a body sized and shaped to be received in the corresponding end, the body including a planar rear face adapted to be positioned against the supporting wall, a front face opposite the rear face and a lateral face, the body further having at least one fastener opening to receive a fastener for securing the body to the supporting wall; and an outer connecting member extending radially outwardly from the lateral face for securely engaging the inner connecting member of the handrail to thereby attach the corresponding one of the first and second ends of the handrail to the supporting wall.
WALL-MOUNTABLE SANITARY CONDUIT CONNECTION DEVICE WITH INTEGRATED VALVE
A wall-mountable sanitary conduit connection device with integrated valve. More particularly, a wall-mountable sanitary conduit connection device includes a wall-mountable base body and a valve fastenable to the base body. The sanitary conduit connection device according to an illustrative embodiment includes a wall-mountable base body having a receiving sleeve and a water inlet duct which, with an inlet duct outflow, leads peripherally into the receiving sleeve, an electrically controllable valve having a cylindrical valve cartridge which is axially insertable into the receiving sleeve and in which a valve unit is located, which valve cartridge has an electrical valve connection unit on a first end face and a pipe connection coupling on a second end face and includes, on a peripheral side, a valve inlet opening which is capable of being coupled to the inlet duct outflow in a fluid-tight manner, and a fastening unit for fastening the valve cartridge in a fixed position in the receiving sleeve.
Dispenser with suction cups
A dispenser for hygienic articles such as wipes, towels, toilet paper or soap, includes a dispenser housing for containing the articles, and a fastener for fastening the dispenser to a fastening surface. The fastener includes a suction unit disposed on the outside of the dispenser facing the fastening surface. The fastener further comprise operating device by which the suction unit is operable so as to establish or release a sub-atmospheric pressure between the suction unit and the fastening surface. Access to the operating device is provided from inside the dispenser.
Paper dispenser
According to an exemplary embodiment, a dispenser for rolled paper product includes a first arm and a second arm, with the first arm having an elongate member configured to receive a roll of paper product. A first mounting bracket is configured to rotatingly couple the first arm to a mounting surface. The first arm is configured to cover the first mounting bracket from view. A second mounting bracket is configured to rigidly couple the second arm to the mounting surface.
Retractable toilet paper holder
A toilet paper holder comprising a base, an extendable arm having a first end and a distal end with the first end rotatably coupled to the base, and a toilet roll mount connected to the distal end of the arm. The extendable arm having alternative variations, one variation having a plurality of interlocking arms and a second variation being an expandable telescopic arrangement having a plurality of segments.
Fast fit bracket assembly
A bracket assembly includes a die struck metal plate, a molded plastic guide/nail set configured to fit over the die struck metal plate, the molded plastic guide/nail set including three spaced apart apertures, each of the apertures configured at an angle with respect to a central surface of the guide/nail set, the central surface comprising two upper opposing wings and a lower central wing configured to receive and secure an accessory, and common finish nails, the common finish nails used to secure the die struck metal plate and the molded plastic guide/nail set, when joined together, to a vertical surface.
