Repositionable and adjustable baskets shelves and accessories
The present application discloses shelving systems (e.g., shower stations) with adjustable shelves (e.g., baskets) that can be moved by hand.
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.
Miniature, concealable, tamper-resistant bracket 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.
A HOUSING FOR AN ELECTRIC MOTOR
A housing for an electric motor includes a tubular wall extending in an axial direction of the housing, and closures at opposite axial ends of the tubular wall to rotatably support opposite axial end portions of a rotor. At least one of the closures is separate from the tubular wall and includes a radially inner portion and a radially outer flange that, in an assembled state, is in physical contact with a radially inner surface of the tubular wall and extends from the radially inner portion of the separate closure towards the opposite axial end of the tubular wall.
Soap dispenser drip catcher
The soap dispenser drip catcher comprises a bag holder and a soap collection bag. The bag holder attaches to a wall-mounted liquid soap dispenser and suspends the soap collection bag under the soap dispenser. In an embodiment, the bag holder comprises a front frame and a rear frame which are each U-shaped armatures that are separated from each other by two springs. The front frame and rear frame hang from mounting holes in the soap dispenser using hooks at the upper end of each arm of the frames. A bag attachment comprising a plurality of clips are located at the bottom of the bag holder. The clip removably hold the soap collection bag in place. In another embodiment, the hooks at the top of the bag holder are replaced by a net that rests on the top of the soap dispenser.
Magnetic Holding System With Enhanced Magnetic Strength
A magnetic holding system for securely affixing an object to a wall surface including a first magnetic sheet layer having specific polarity line spacing, a second layer having magnetic receptive properties, and finally an object with a mounting surface designed to abut the second layer, the mounting surface including a magnetic material having specific polarity line spacing that is substantially the same as the specific polarity line spacing of the first layer and a sheet of steel, such that, when the object polarity line spacing is aligned with the first layer polarity line spacing, the object is securely held to the wall.
Surface-mounting Holding Device
A surface-mounting holding device includes a holding assembly and a mounting assembly. The mounting assembly further comprises a mounting foot and a mounting shoe. The mounting shoe is capable of being mounted to a flat surface. The mounting foot is capable of coupling with the mounting shoe and rotating within the mounting shoe. When the mounting foot is coupled with the mounting shoe, the holding assembly is affixed to the wall. The mounting foot is capable of coupling with the mounting shoe in an engaged position and in an unengaged position. If the mounting foot is in the unengaged position, the holding assembly is rotatable while remaining secured to the mounting shoe such that the holding assembly has various mounting positions on the wall. The surface-mounting holding device is capable of holding objects of different sizes.
Wall mountable soap dish assembly and methods of making and using the same
The invention is directed to a soap dish assembly that promotes the longevity of a bar of soap and allows a user to access to the soap without directly handling it. Particularly, the disclosed assembly includes a bottom plate configured to attach to a support surface (e.g., a shower wall). The bottom plate comprises a housing sized and shaped to cooperate with a bar of soap. The soap is therefore retained within the base housing via a middle plate. A front plate attaches to the bottom plate to retain the soap and middle plate therebetween. In use, a sponge or other bathing accessory can contact an exposed surface of the soap, thereby allowing access to the soap without having to directly handle it. Alternatively, a user can rub a desired body part (e.g., their hands) on the exposed portion of the soap for cleaning. As a result, the life of the soap is extended and does not get soggy or softened from excess contact with water during and after use.
Automated Cleaning Solution Spray Device
The present disclosure provides an automated dispenser and spray device configured to apply a cleaning solution to a user's body in an automated fashion as they take a shower, freeing their hands. The device comprises an oscillating arm assembly of adjustable height with a spray nozzle at the end. Various parameters of the spray can be adjusted to a user's preferences via a control module and interface so that they can simply focus on cleaning themselves as the solution is applied.
Housing for an electric motor
An electric motor includes a housing with a tubular wall extending in an axial direction of the housing and a closures positioned at opposite axial ends of the tubular wall, a stator fixedly mounted inside of the housing, a rotor rotatably mounted inside of the housing, and a bearing rotatably supporting the rotor. At least one of the closures includes a rotor supporting portion. The rotor supporting portion includes a through hole configured to receive a portion of the rotor. The through hole is defined by a closed shape including at least three or more straight sides, and a radius of an inscribed circle of the closed shape of the through hole is larger than a radius of the portion of the rotor received in the through hole.
