  • Patent number: 12635833
    Abstract: The dual towel hook with secure retention of a hanging article is a spring activated device for securing articles such as bath and hand towels, robes, garments and the like, intended for use while traveling under jolting or vibratory conditions such as recreation vehicles, smaller nautical vessels, food trucks, semi-trucks, and airplanes. The hanging article is placed onto or removed from the hook by rotating a securing clip feature that contains a torsion spring securely encapsulated in the hook assembly, in an upward direction. The tensioned securing clip retains items placed on the hook by seeking its neutral, least untensioned position and thereby either retains the article though pressure or encloses the item placed on the hook. The towel hook device also contains a secondary, non-tensioned, position to hang articles. The dual towel hook device offers a space saving alternative to other traditional and wider bath and hand towel storage devices such as towel rings and towel bars.

  • Patent number: 12590671
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a combined tripod. An auxiliary frame and a main frame are combined together through a main connecting frame. When the auxiliary frame and the main frame are combined for use, the auxiliary frame is used as a center shaft and plays a role of adjusting a height; and when the auxiliary frame is separated from the main frame, two tripods with independent functions are formed. An outwards pulled buckle lock, i.e. a locking mechanism, of the main frame uses an innovative design, which is conductive for quick unfolding and folding. Three main frame legs can be as close as possible to each other, so that an occupied space is reduced. Central shaft legs of the auxiliary frame can be inserted into outer gaps between the three main frame legs; and a cross-sectional shape can be determined according to a gap envelop shape, thereby forming the most compact spatial structure.
