Abstract:
In order to provide a structure for removable attachment to a substantially vertical surface for example of glass, glazed tiles or metal, the structure has a mounting means comprising: suction means (1) for sealingly contacting a surface, pulling means (2) being attached to the suction means (1) for drawing a part of the suction means (1) away from the surface, so that a partial vacuum is created between the suction means (1) and the surface. There is a substantially helical or wedge shaped surface on the pulling means (2) engaged with a corresponding substantially helical or wedge shaped surface of a rotatable member (13), whereby rotation of the rotatable member (13) draws the pulling means (2) and respective part of the suction means (1) away from the surface. An intermediate member (5) is provided for engaging a sealing part of the suction means (1), the intermediate member (5) supporting the rotatable member (13). The structure comprises a structural member (10) mounted in or on the intermediate member (5), so that the structural member (10) is not gripped by the intermediate member (5) or rotatable member (13). At least part of the rotatable member extends beyond a part of the intermediate member which is adjacent to the rotatable member. There is a friction reducing member (11) between the rotatable member and the intermediate member. A clip means, possibly also acting as a friction reducing member (11), can be provided for holding the structural member 18 temporarily in position on the intermediate member 5 during assembly
Abstract:
A device for holding shower accessories has an attaching element formed as a vacuum attaching element and having an axis, the attaching element being attachable to a surface in a plurality of positions by turning the attaching element around its axis, a holding element connected with the attaching element and pivotable between an operative position in which one end of the holding element applies a pressure on the attaching element and causes the attaching element to be vacuum attached to the surface and an inoperative position in which the holding element is turned relative to the attaching element from the operative position, the holding element having another end which is opposite to the end applying pressure to the attaching element, the opposite end being provided with a tubular channel having a second axis extending transversely to the first axis of the attaching element and formed so as to receive a shower accessory turnably around the second axis, so that the shower accessory can be spatially oriented by turning the attaching element about the first axis and turning the shower accessory in the tubular channel around the second axis.
Abstract:
A bathroom rail assembly includes a rail having opposed ends, each of which is attached to a respective suction fastening device by which the rail assembly can be attached to a fixed surface.
Abstract:
A wall-mountable modular assembly is provided for mounting bathroom accessories on a wall or other supporting surface. The assembly includes a plurality of substantially identical supports and a plurality of accessories that are releasably mountable on the supports. Each support includes a suction cup and a cam lever that is pivotally movable from a release position to an actuating position for actuating a griping engagement of the suction cup with the wall or other supporting surface. The accessory is releasably engaged with the support when the cam lever is in the actuating position.
Abstract:
A fixing device for a bath support rack includes a base, a body mounted on the base, a clamping rod mounted on the body, and a press mechanism movably mounted on the body and having a distal end rested on a central portion of the base, so that the press mechanism can be pressed downward to compress the base. Thus, the fixing device can be positioned on an object, such as a flat wall, rigidly and stably. In addition, the fixing device can be detached from the object easily and conveniently.
Abstract:
A bathroom hanger in combination with multiple suction disk assemblies, a telescopic tube clamped between the suction disk assemblies, multiple shelves mounted on the telescopic tube, multiple arms extending from the telescopic tube, and a showerhead holder mounted on the telescopic tube. The suction disk assemblies are able to remain securely sucked to a bathroom wall due to pressure of a knob to a suction disk in each of the suction disk assemblies such that the bathroom hanger is securely mounted to the bathroom wall by the suction disk assemblies and the bathroom hanger will not easily fall from the wall.
Abstract:
A fitting includes an annular shielding member with a rear annular wall adapted to abut against an upright wall of a bathroom to define an abutment plane, and a front annular wall formed with a front major area of a faceplate member. The front major area has a recess extending rearwardly thereof to form an impact bearing portion. A front annular portion surrounds and is connected to the impact bearing portion by an inner annular wall. The impact bearing portion has a rear bearing wall spaced apart from the abutment plane, and a front bearing wall opposite to the rear bearing wall, and defines a fastening hole through the front and rear bearing walls. A holding member includes an anchored end disposed on the rear bearing wall, and having a clamped portion adjacent to the fastening hole so as to abut against an enlarged head portion of an anchoring stud which is inserted into the upright wall. The holding member further includes a holding arm extending from the anchored end and outwardly of the annular shielding member to form a holding end for holding the article, and a fastening member tightening the impact bearing wall against the enlarged head portion of the anchoring stud by passing through the fastening hole. A covering member engages the faceplate member to shield the impact bearing portion from being seen.
Abstract:
A bathroom rack comprises a fastening seat provided with a female retainer, an article-holding frame extending from the fastening seat, a plurality of fastening screws for fastening the fastening seat with a bathroom wall, and a decorative cover provided with a male retainer. The decorative cover is detachably fastened with the fastening seat such that the male retainer of the decorative cover is engaged with the female retainer of the fastening seat.
Abstract:
An apparatus for attaching a variety of article supporting fixtures to a variety of support surfaces, having an anterior appendage and two posterior appendages, all three of which being connected by a joining area or joining member, said anterior appendage being of a width at least as great as about the diameter of one of a plurality of wire shelf body wires, and preferably as wide as the space occupied by at least two body wires, said two posterior appendages each being of such a width as to enable them to fit into the space between two adjacent body wires, and likewise being spaced apart from each other on centerlines the distance between which is some multiple of the distance between the body wire center to center distance, said bracket may be positioned at any point and still fit between the body wires of the wire shelf, said posterior appendages being preferably spaced outboard of the anterior appendage, but alternatively arranged otherwise, in a preferred embodiment said posterior appendages each having at least a hole therethrough to facilitate attachment to a support surface, and said anterior appendage having affixed thereto an attachment.
Abstract:
A grab bar is mounted on a wall by a pair of hangers. Each hanger is generally L-shaped with the inner leg thereof inserted through a hole in the wall to extend upwardly along the inner surface of the wall and the outer leg projecting away from the outer surface of the wall. The grab bar is mounted on the outer legs of the hangers. The grab bar is tubular and has internal support members in the form of washers to which the outer legs of the hangers are secured. Screws extending through the wall secure the inner legs of the hangers to the inner surface of the wall. Flanges on the outer legs of the hangers are pressed against the outer surface of the wall by the same screws that secure the inner legs.
