Abstract: A tension-mounted pole for mounting between two substantially parallel surfaces includes a central tubular body, a first telescoping tubular body having a telescoping first end coupled with the central tubular body and a free second end, and a second tubular body having a telescoping first end coupled with the central tubular body and a free second end. An extension mechanism is mounted to the central tubular body. The extension mechanism is configured to be manually actuated and has a toothed rack and pinion arrangement configured to simultaneously move the first and second tubular bodies in opposite directions relative to the central tubular body.

Abstract: A cam lock mechanism for use with an associated consumer product includes a base member defining a receptacle. A cam member is received in the receptacle of the base member. The cam member has an engaged position wherein the cam member is configured to be non-movably fixed relative to the associated consumer product and a released position wherein the cam member is configured to be movable relative to the associated consumer product. A lever is hingedly connected to the cam member. The lever has a closed position wherein the lever is configured to move the cam member into the engaged position and an opened position wherein the cam member is in the released position.

Abstract: A device for mounting to a surface includes a surface attachment device and an accessory assembly selectively connectable to the surface attachment device. The surface attachment device includes a surface attachment member and a latch operatively connected with the surface attachment member. The surface attachment member includes a contact surface configured to contact a surface against which the surface attachment device is to be retained. The accessory assembly is selectively rotatable about a rotational axis with respect to the surface attachment device when connected with the surface attachment device. The accessory assembly includes a catch and a spring member cooperating with the catch. The spring member biases the catch in a direction not parallel with the rotational axis.
