  • Patent number: 9388837
    Abstract: A twist-locking mechanism for two telescoping tubes, as may comprise a curtain rod, comprises a sleeve which expands outwardly as it moves along the screw of a screw body. A tapered or straight screw connects to a plain shaft portion upon which the sleeve rests when the device is in the unlock position. In another embodiment, the pitch or profile of the thread of a straight screw changes along the length of the screw, so the sleeve is forced radially outwardly as it moves from the unlock position. Split-sleeves useful in the locking mechanism have spring like features or an oblong shape, so the sleeve is biased outwardly to frictionally engage one the tube when the sleeve is at the unlock position.

    Abstract: A hanging shower caddy has detachable shelves which engage brackets that extend from the front of the legs of the caddy back; preferably a stringer on the shelf interacts with a tie that connects the legs, to inhibit vertical lifting of the shelf from the bracket. Alternatively, the top rear rail of a shelf engages notches at the front of the legs. A pole caddy has a removable shelf with tangs that engage holes or other features in a collar that is clamped to the pole. The legs of the back of a hanging caddy are hinged so the top of the back folds for compact shipment.
