The handle grip is pivotally attached to the support bracket to facilitate pivoting the handle grip to a close alignment with the toilet seat edge avoiding undue intrusion into the remainder of the toilet facility area.

Abstract: An electrical power controller includes an input filter, a touch logic and a power conditioner combining to control a power device coupled to an electrical load which in turn is coupled to an AC main power source. The controller includes an overload or short circuit current sensor and apparatus for disabling the electrical power coupling to the load to protect both the load and the output power device against excessive current. A visual display indicating the level of voltage applied to the load is provided. In alternate embodiments, a timer having a preprogrammed power variation profiles imposes a predetermined variation of power to the load over time.

Abstract: A bolt actuator is supported within a vehicle to move a dead bolt between a withdrawn or open position and an extending or locked position in response to an applied switch condition. A lock plate defining a center bore and a guide defining a similar center bore are supported in alignment between a movable vehicle door and a fixed or stationary portion of the vehicle chassis or body. The bolt actuator slides the bolt through the guide and lock plate to provide a dead bolt lock which is independent of the vehicle lock system. Embodiments are shown utilizing an electromagnetic solenoid bolt moving mechanism and a cam driven bolt moving mechanism having an electric motor drive coupled thereto.

Abstract: An air-powered projectile launcher includes a housing defining a cylindrical launch tube for receiving a projectile and a cylindrical cylinder bore. A piston having an extending piston rod is sealingly movable within the cylinder bore and is coupled at its forward end to a coil spring. The piston rod extends rearwardly through a trigger and cocking mechanism which in turn is coupled to a pivotal pump handle. A ratcheting mechanism is operatively coupled between the pivoting pump handle and the piston rod to facilitate the incremental drawing motion of the piston rod and piston stretching the power spring. The trigger mechanism holds the piston rod against the force of the stretched spring until the user pulls the trigger into its release position. Thereafter, the stored energy of the spring drives the piston forward against the launch tube and projectile providing an air burst which launches the projectile.
