Abstract: The Dual Automatic Dryer and Washing Machine Protective Basin is a drip pan sized to fit both a washer and dryer, and to contain leakage from both appliances. The position of the washer and dryer can safely be swapped, and the pan can optionally be provided with an opening directly over a floor drain, which now need not be located under the washing machine. The front wall of the basin can be sized to clear a door or pedestal drawer; alternatively, the basin can have raised spots supporting the feet of the appliance or pedestal, so as to lift doors or drawers above the front wall.

Abstract: Disclosed is a brake grip 10 including a body member 12 and a lever arm section 14. The brake grip 10 has an ergonomically shaped exterior surface which supports and distributes proportionately the weight and pressure experienced by a hand grasping the grip during bicycling. The body member 12 includes a palm saddle 20, a rocker ridge 32 along an outer rear edge of the palm saddle, and a thumb ledge 22 on an inner side of the body member. An outwardly projecting wedge element 46 is at the front end of the palm saddle 20. The wedge element 46 terminates at an outer end in a semi-rounded tip 46a, and it has a base 46b which merges at a lower, inner side portion with the curved surface 30 of the thumb ledge 22, and at a lower, rear portion with a front end of the palm saddle 20. The merging portions form a smooth, rounded, enlarged load bearing surface. The lever arm section 14 has grooves 50-52 for fingers and it covers the exterior of a lever arm 48 of a conventional brake lever.
