Abstract: A storage and assist assembly for a shower includes a first member, a second member, and an elongated member. The first member is configured to be coupled to an upper portion of a fixed wall member. The second member is configured to be coupled to a lower portion of the fixed wall member. The elongated member is removably coupled between the first and second members and is configured to receive one or more storage accessories thereon.

Abstract: A storage system for a shower enclosure includes a first wall member, a second wall member, and a storage accessory. The first wall member includes a corner defining a recessed portion. The first wall member further includes a corner notch disposed along the corner within the recessed portion, and a first side notch disposed along an inner side surface of the first wall member adjacent the recessed portion. The second wall member is coupled to the first wall member at an end of the corner adjacent the recessed portion and is oriented perpendicular to the first wall member. The second wall member includes a second side notch disposed along an inner side surface of the second wall member. The storage accessory is removably coupled between the first wall member and the second wall member at the corner notch, the first side notch, and the second side notch.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for producing randomly slubbed textile yarns. The method involves passing the yarn through a zone of fluid turbulence having a pair of counterdirectional fluid streams maintained under different fluid pressures. The yarn passing between these counterdirectional fluid streams is alternately treated in opposing directions, with slubs being formed at the null points between the opposite directional treatments. Due to the uneven fluid pressures employed, the length of treatment in each direction along the yarn is not consistent, thus leading to slubs at various points along the length of the yarn. A fluid jet is also disclosed for accomplishing this result. The fluid jet includes a pair of interconnected and overlapping passageways which form a chamber through which the yarn passes, with each passageway having one or more fluid inlets arranged to direct fluid circumferentially around it and with the fluid streams being counterdirectional to one another.

Abstract: A transport vehicle with a front end that leads the vehicle during normal movement thereof and a substantially planar surfaced rear end that trails the vehicle during such movement. Mounted on the rear end is an inflatable enclosure that when inflated possesses convergent contoured surfaces that extend from the edges of the rear end's planar surface. An inflation mechanism is operable by a driver of the vehicle to inflate the enclosure and thereby reduce the effects of base drag during relatively high speed movement of the vehicle. Also operable by the driver is a deflation mechanism that can be operated to deflate the enclosure into a stowed position when the vehicle is not in use or operating at low speeds in confined areas.
