Abstract:
A portable sink (1) with a lid (3) that is capable of being connected to an existing water supply, such as an outdoor hose or faucet, such that running water can be provided inside the sink in an outdoor environment. The sink (1) preferably has folding legs 938-41), an adjustable spigot (26), a spray nozzle (29), a storage drawer (9), a shelf (34), a large drain (14), a funnel, a strainer for the drain, cutting boards, basket, etc. The lid (3) also enables the sink to be used as a container for storing items during travel. In this respect, the sink can be made of an insulating material so that it can double as an ice chest when desired. A pressurized water tank can be provided which is preferably sized to fit inside the sink and adapted to supply water where no other water supply is available.

Abstract:
A pair of levers are provided extending from a common junction to free tips which are spaced from each other. The junction is coupled to a valve of a faucet, with such a coupling either being direct or with intervening structures. The valve can be controlled by a user manual gripping and applying force to either the first lever or the second lever. The levers are sufficiently far apart that a user can control the valve while only touching one of the levers. The junction can be removably attachable to a control knob coupled to the valve or can be built into the faucet. The two levers are preferably elongate in form and preferably include indicia thereon indicating that one of the levers should be used first and the other of the levers should be used last. In one embodiment, the indicia include the wording "dirty" and "clean."
Abstract:
A hand-washing monitor and hand washing monitoring system are provided. The hand-washing monitoring system includes a motion detector mounted near, to or in a sink and configured to detect a scrubbing motion near an outlet of a sink faucet and a user wearable smart button device that interacts with the motion detector. The system includes a processor coupled to the motion detector and smart button device and a memory coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to monitor the motion detector for signals indicative of the scrubbing motion that is continuous during a predetermined scrubbing interval and to provide signal indicating a successful scrubbing operation when the scrubbing motion is continuously detected during the entire interval to the smart button device. The hand-washing monitor includes a housing containing the processor, the motion detector, the memory and proximity sensors for detecting the application of soap.
Abstract:
A display mount for mounting a flat panel display has a round opening and an elongate opening for enabling post-installation leveling on a mounting surface. The round opening enables rotation of the display mount around a first fastening member inserted through the round opening, while the elongate opening enables shifting of the bracket relative to a second fastening member inserted through the elongate opening. The display mount is adapted to receive the flat panel display and can be leveled with the flat panel display already attached.
Abstract:
A modular mounting system for mounting a dispenser or dispenser assembly to a wall or other surface. The modular mounting system can also include one or more connectors that connect adjacent modular mounting members. The connectors can be sized and configured to align adjacent modular mounting members and substantially prevent relative movement between the members.
Abstract:
A bladder tank for storing a liquid includes an outer housing and an inner bladder. A storage platform is mounted to the outer housing for storing an article thereon. Miscellaneous articles can be stored on the storage platform. The bladder tank can be mounted in a cabinet beneath a sink.
Abstract:
The present invention serves to anchor appurtenances to wallboards without requiring a hollow void or cavity behind the wallboard and providing a secure stable attachment. In preferred embodiments, the wallboard anchor of the present invention has an arcuate shank or prong, having a distal point, that is inserted into the wallboard on an upward curved path, a wall engaging portion proximate the arcuate prong contacts and engages the outer surface of the wall. Preferably, the wall-engaging portion presents a vertical flat surface and the arcuate prong extends directly from the flat surface of the wall-engaging portion, initially perpendicularly, and then sweeps upwardly with a radius of curvature.
