Abstract: A device for dispensing liquids from under the rim of a toilet by way of the toilet flush water is disclosed. The device includes a first arcuate bottle containing a first liquid and a second arcuate bottle containing a second liquid. The dispensing device has an arcuate base for holding the bottles. A wicking device supported by the base conveys liquid from the bottles to dispensing positions contacted with flush water. A hook is provided for suspending the base from a toilet rim. The majority of the upper surfaces of the bottles are not visible from above the rim of the toilet bowl when the dispensing device is installed on the rim, and the wicking device does not extend outward beyond an edge of the base. The bottles are at least partially spaced apart to define a flush water flow path between the bottles and through openings in the base.

Abstract: A bathroom wall mounted rack has mounts with a wall end as one end; holes set on the wall mount, and in the center one frame is perforated to the wall end. Through holes are set on the connector end of frame in the condition of radial transfixion, and the two ends of through hole are corresponding to the fillisters of wall mount. Bolts go through the through hole of frame connector end, the two ends protrude on two sides of frame connector ends and further embed into two fillisters of wall mount correspondingly so as to connect and fix the frame and wall mount. Therefore, the combination and orientation design of bolts will enable the frame to have an effect of firm support and orientation to actually avoid from circumvolution, loose and split so as to meet the advancement requirements of more firmness and durability.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (2) for controlling and/or regulating the supply of a medium using a supply unit for an impingement device. Said supply unit comprises at least one shut-off member and each shut-off member can be moved into a closed position and at least one open position by means of an actuating element. The device comprises a sensor unit (50) for determining in a contactless manner the presence of a material that is to be impinged by the medium. The inventive device (2) is characterized in that said sensor unit (50) is additionally configured for the contactless determination of the relative position of the material in relation to the impingement device (10) and for the output of signals, which act on the actuating elements in such a way that the later moves the shut-oft members into a position that corresponds with the presence and the location of the material to be impinged by the medium.

Abstract: A hydraulic suction fuse is mounted in a conventional debris collection trap of a swimming pool, spa or the like, to significantly reduce or eliminate any suction force on the bottom or side wall mounted drain of the swimming pool, spa or the like, as a result of the drain becoming essentially wholly covered by a body part of a person or other drain clogging article. Alternatively, the hydraulic suction fuse may be mounted in a compartment in line between the drain and a suction pump of a swimming pool, spa or the like. Thereby, a person captured by the suction force at the drain will be released and the person is free to move away from the drain essentially instantaneously upon contact with the drain. In one embodiment of the hydraulic suction fuse, the hydraulic suction fuse may be easily manually reset.

Abstract: The CURVE SHOWER CURTAIN ROD is just like a straight curtain rod except the former has its' two ends bent 70 degrees. So, the end points of the whole rod assembly are at the middle of the tub, unlike that of a straight curtain rod, the end points are near the outside of the tub. The curtain of the curved shower curtain rod encloses the tub very well. It eliminates water spilling onto the floor when one is taking shower. It will take only less than a minute to assemble or disassemble the unit. No tool is needed during assembly or disassembly. The rod self supports itself very strongly against the wall. No screw, glue, nail or anything else like hanging bar is needed.
