Personal use accessory
A personal use accessory comprising a utility plate having a front side and a rear side, a backing plate having a front side and a rear side, a first plurality of magnetically attractive elements disposed upon the rear side of said utility plate, a second plurality of magnetically attractive elements disposed upon the front side of said backing plate, and a utility element; said first and second plurality of magnetically attractive elements arranged to permit magnetic attraction between at least a subset of said first plurality of magnetically attractive elements and at least a subset of said second plurality of magnetically attractive elements, said magnetic attraction being of sufficient total force to support the personal use accessory when said utility plate and said backing plate are separated by a non-magnetic divider.
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.
LIGATURE-RESISTANT DISPENSER
Dispensers with anti-ligature safety features are disclosed herein. An anti-ligature dispenser may include a back mounting plate for mounting to a surface and a front housing cover with contoured and curved features that are substantially devoid of ligature anchoring points. Dispensing systems that allow for mechanically efficient actuation without providing gaps for ligature anchoring are also disclosed.
Rail Profile with Attachment Mechanism and Related Methods
A profile system comprises at least one elongated rail profile which extends in a longitudinal direction and has a constant cross-section, and at least one holding element which is designed to be detachably fastened to the rail profile. The rail profile, viewed in cross-section, has a substantially rectangular base section which is provided on its front side with a receiving groove extending in the longitudinal direction which describes a circular arc extending over at least 200 and having a first radius R.sub.1 and is accessible via a groove opening of a predetermined groove width, and at least one first fastening leg which adjoins the rear side of the base section substantially flush and projects outwards from the base section.
Hair Removal Device
The Hair Removal Device may be a wall mounted assembly of a base attached to a wall. The base having a plurality of holes extending from a top to a bottom. A cluster of tentacles mounted on a bristle ball body. The body having a suction cup on a stem, the suction cup spaced from the tentacles. The base disposed between the suction cup and the tentacles. The bristle ball having a plurality of tentacles extending radially from the bristle ball. The bristles formed of a flexible, resilient material. The each one of the plurality of holes filled with a stem holding the suction cup on the base and the tentacles spaced from the base.
SHOWER WALL UPRIGHT SOAP CASE
The present invention comprises a recessed soap case wall unit with pins that the collapsible soap holster clamps into that rest on a dripping tray which is in place to catch the excess water that drips from the soap when it has been used. The hosting device is configured in different sizes to accommodate different shapes and molds of soap.
Hair dryer mountable between spaced apart wall panels
A hair dryer and dryer system mountable between a pair of wall panels includes a hollow cylindrical housing having open inlet and outlet ends and a passageway extending therebetween, a group of co-operative components supported by the housing in communication with its passageway and co-operable to induce an inflow of unheated air into the housing open inlet end and an outflow of heated air from the housing open outlet end, a threadably adjustable annular coupler at the housing open inlet end, and an annular flange at the housing open outlet end. The annular coupler and annular flange together enable the housing to be disposed between and clamped respectively to the wall panels with the open inlet and outlet ends of the housing respectively occupying the first and second openings of the wall panels.
MINIATURE, CONCEALABLE, TAMPER-RESISTANT BRACKETS FOR DISPENSERS AND OTHER WALL-MOUNTED ARTICLES
A dispenser system includes an inconspicuous, tamper-resistant bracket used to mount containers, bottles, vessels, dispensers or other articles to a wall surface. A coupling structure engages with and supports the article for use. The coupling structure may comprise a male-female coupling structure including, for example, a vertical rail on one of the bracket or container, and a corresponding vertical slot on the other of the bracket or container. An upper panel, door or lid opens with a tool or key, providing access to the bracket coupling structure. A spring biases the panel, door or lid into an open condition, and a latch mechanism maintains the panel, door or lid in a closed and locked condition until opened. The system may further including a proprietary container with dimensions to visually obscure the bracket. The container may include a dispensing pump, and may be filled or refilled with a personal hygiene product.
Convertible Dispenser
A system and method for dispensing toilet paper. The system includes a back plate coupled to a cover. An arm base is coupled to an arm, and the arm is coupled to a post. The arm base can rotate relative to the cover. By applying a force the arm rest can unseat and freely rotate. If the user starts with an over-the-top roll configuration the user can rotate the arm to present a behind-the-roll configuration without any need for tools or disassembly.
ANGLED FLUSHABLE MOIST WIPE DISPENSER
A moist wipe dispenser having a wipes container having a lid with an orifice for dispensing the wipes; an angled bottom surface; an inner bottom surface sharing an edge with the angled bottom surface and extending proximately parallel to the orifice, wherein a stack of wipes rests on the inner bottom surface; and a mounting means for removably installing the wipes container at a surface, wherein the angled bottom surface and the mounting means securely position the orifice and the stack of wipes at a stack angle for a continuous, one-at-a-time dispensing of the wipes requiring only one hand of a user.
