  • Publication number: 20210025418
    Abstract: A compression lock assembly for an adjustable length rod assembly with inner and outer tubes is provided. The compression lock assembly has an adapter adapted to be connected to rotate with the inner tube. An elastomeric ring with an inner opening and outer diameter is concentric and disposed coaxially with the adapter. A threaded fastener extends through the elastomeric ring and is fixed to the adapter. A lock nut is disposed about the threaded fastener and fixed to rotate with the elastomeric ring. The locking nut moves along the threaded fastener to compress the elastomeric ring and expand the outer diameter from a first diameter to a second diameter greater than the first diameter as the elastomeric ring is rotated relative to the adapter.

  • Publication number: 20210010503
    Abstract: A fastener assembly is provided having a cylindrical shank with a plurality of annular grooves formed along a length of the shank. A plurality of elongated ribs extends perpendicular to the grooves along the length. A fastener disc is provided with a central opening with a diameter less than a cylindrical shank diameter wherein an inner edge of the central opening includes a contact surface. The fastener disc is retained on the fastener portion in a locked position when the contact surface engages one of the plurality of grooves with a friction fit. The fastener disc is rotated to a release position so that the elongated rib contacts the inner edge thereby releasing the contact surface from the grooves.

  • Publication number: 20190021558
    Abstract: A paper roll assembly is provided with first and second plates and first and second arm assemblies. Each of the first and second plates defines a through-hole and includes two plate tabs spaced from one another and located on a plate inner surface. Each of the first and second arm assemblies is arranged with one of the first and second plates for rotation independent of the plate. Each arm assembly includes an arm secured to an internal shaft extending through the through-hole. Each internal shaft includes a first shaft tab and a second shaft tab extending from the internal shaft. One of the internal shafts is arranged with one of the plates so rotation of the internal shaft is constrained to facilitate mount or removal of the paper roll by contact between one of the two plate tabs and one of the first shaft tab and the second shaft tab.

  • Patent number: 9869424
    Abstract: A back plate assembly for home hardware is provided with a base and an attachment. The base includes at least one mount aperture and is adapted to be mounted to a support surface. The base defines a receptacle, a through-hole, a pair of grooves disposed at an outer edge of the through-hole, and a pair of ledges offset from an inner edge of the through-hole. The attachment includes a lock member with a pair of lock features and a connector member sized for insertion between the pair of ledges when the attachment is oriented in a first radial position. Each of the pair of lock features is positioned on the attachment for insertion within one of the grooves and the connector member is sized to rest upon the ledges when the connector member extends through the through-hole and the attachment is rotated to a second radial position.
