Abstract: A combination showerhead having a fixed showerhead and a handheld showerhead. The handheld showerhead is supported in line with an associated outlet pipe while the fixed showerhead is supported adjacent to the handheld showerhead. The fixed showerhead, although not removable like the handheld showerhead, can be positioned in a plurality of positions relative to the handheld showerhead. Such positions include, for example, above the handheld showerhead, or to the left or right of the handheld showerhead, or at positions intermediate the foregoing. The location of the handheld showerhead is fixed and the handheld showerhead can be selectively removed from its mount and used in conventional fashion.

Abstract: A water dispensing assembly including a handheld dispenser, a receiver mountable to an outlet pipe, a coupling mechanism for releasably coupling the handheld dispenser with the receiver. The coupling mechanism can include a male component adapted to be received in a female component, and a retention flange adapted to engage the receiver to assist in retaining the dispenser in a coupled state.

Abstract: A handheld showerhead assembly including a handheld showerhead and a receiver to which the handheld showerhead is releasably securable. The handheld showerhead includes a push-button on a handle portion thereof for releasing the handheld showerhead from the receiver. The handheld showerhead is maintained securely engaged with the receiver until the push-button is depressed to permit removal of the handheld showerhead from the receiver. Cooperating magnetic components attract the handheld showerhead to the receiver.

Abstract: A water leak detection system including a leak detector and a wall bracket with an integral or removable remote probe that can be positioned remotely from the leak detector. The leak detector is configured to electrically couple with the remote probe when mechanically coupled with the wall bracket, requiring no further user interaction to activate the probe. The wall bracket can include multiple remote probes that each electrically couple with the leak detector when the leak detector is mechanically coupled to the wall bracket, any one of the remote probes capable of triggering the leak detector when a leak occurs.

Abstract: A grab bar assembly for mounting on a wall is provided. The wall includes a stud having an X axis perpendicular to a length of the stud and a Y axis parallel to the length of the stud. The grab bar assembly comprises a grab bar having a first end and a mounting plate attached to the first end in fixed relation to the grab bar. The mounting plate comprises a plurality of openings shaped and arranged such that the grab bar can be rotated to any position in a plane that is parallel to a plane defined by the X axis and the Y axis of the stud and two fastening devices can be secured in the stud through the openings.

Abstract: An elevated toilet seat that includes integral flanges or wings that allow for attachment of one or more external apparatus. The toilet seat is removably attachable to the upper surface of a toilet bowl via a bracket. The seat is snap-fit to the bracket for easy installation and removal.

Abstract: An adjustable toilet lever mechanism that can be easily configured so that it can be mounted to various locations on a toilet for use with toilets of varying design. The toilet lever mechanism is capable of being positioned on various locations on the toilet tank and still being properly positioned to interact with the flush valve of the toilet and provide adequate stroke for the operation of the flush valve. Multiple embodiments of the adjustable toilet lever mechanism are contemplated that can be can be adjusted in the horizontal plane, the vertical plane, or both and may be adjustable at one or more points along the toilet lever mechanism.

Abstract: An arrester includes a housing having an inner bore, and a substantially cylindrical varistor body is received in the inner bore of the housing. The varistor body is formed of at least one varistor element having a lateral outer surface and a length defined between first and second ends of the varistor body, and a first mating element extending outwardly from the outer surface and along substantially the entire length of the body. A substantially rigid first support member is received in the inner bore and is disposed on the outer surface of the body. The first support member has a first mating surface that corresponds to and engages the first mating element of the body, thereby coupling the body and the first support member.

Abstract: An electrical device includes a housing with first and second portions. Each of the first and second portions has a first insulative layer and a second conductive layer. The first and second layers define an inner cavity. The second portion has opposing first and second lateral sides with the first layer defining a first thickness at the first lateral side and a second thickness at the second lateral side. An electrically conductive member is received within the inner cavity in the first portion. At least one electrical component is received within the inner cavity at the second portion. A weak section is defined by the first thickness at the first lateral side being substantially less than the second thickness at the second lateral side diametrically opposite it at given points along a longitudinal axis of the second portion.

Abstract: An electrical connector including a housing with an inner bore, a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The second end has an opening that provides access to the inner bore. A piston is received within the inner bore of the housing and includes a first sleeve and a second sleeve, the first and second sleeves being coaxial and slidably engaged in a telescoping arrangement. The first and second sleeves are movable between a retracted position and an extended position by sliding the first and second sleeves with respect to one another within the inner bore of the housing. A contact element is disposed on the second sleeve and movable with it between first and second axially spaced positions within the inner bore.
