Publication number: 20070257165Abstract: An article support device for vertical mounting on a wall surface includes a base plate having opposed front and rear major surfaces, an upper edge, a lower edge, a first side edge, and a second side edge, and a cover plate having opposed front and rear major surfaces, an upper edge, a lower edge, a first side edge, and a second side edge. The base plate front surface and the cover plate rear surface include a raised connecting portion and a cooperating recess configured to engage by horizontal sliding engagement such that when the device is mounted vertically on a wall surface, any load applied to the cover plate creates a force in a direction generally perpendicular to the direction of horizontal sliding engagement between the base plate and the cover plate. A method of mounting a hook on a vertical surface using the article support device is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2005Publication date: November 8, 2007Inventors: Peter Newbould, Sigurdur Thorsteinsson, Mauro Porcini

Publication number: 20070169292Abstract: A head (1) for a strip mop comprises a hollow dome-shaped body (3) which is attachable at its top to one end of an elongate mop handle (4). Web material is secured within the body (3) so that a portion hangs down from the base of the dome-shaped body to provide the cleaning substrate (2) of the mop. To facilitate access to confined areas of a surface that is being cleaned, such as corners, the base of the dome-shaped body (3) of the mop head has the general form of an equilateral triangle. A spacer (17, FIG. 4) is provided between two adjacent layers of the web material within the dome-shaped body, to enhance the volume of the cleaning substrate (2); and a peripheral skirt (8) of a more resilient material is provided at the base of the wall of the dome-shaped body (3) to reduce the risk of damage to surfaces that might be impacted by the mop head (1) when in use.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2005Publication date: July 26, 2007Inventors: Estrella Cabrero Gomez, Maria Martin Rivera, Carmen Echeverria Alonso, Maurizio Beolchi, Christophe Corsi, Patrice Freyermuth, Eric Soyer, Mauro Porcini, Sigurdur Thorsteinsson, Peter Newbould

Publication number: 20070138044Abstract: The present invention relates to an article for storing and organizing materials. The article has opposing front and rear panels. Each panel has an inside surface and an outside surface. The panels are substantially similar in geometry as defined by a perimeter. The panels are joined substantially along the entire perimeter such that at the inside surface of the front panel is proximate to the inside surface of the rear panel. An opening disposed within the front panel away from the perimeter. Finally, an adhesive disposed on at least a portion of the outside surface of the rear panel. A stack of a plurality of the articles is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2005Publication date: June 21, 2007Inventors: Byron Trotter, Kenneth Hanley, Eser Donovan, Dwight Evans, Sharon Benjamin, Peter Newbould, Ivana Babic, Lisa Love
