  • Patent number: 9995031
    Abstract: An anti-splashback urinal, comprising a bowl for receiving a user's urine, the bowl having a surface with a curvilinear shape designed to reduce the angle of impact between the urine and the surface and to carry the urine down and away from a user; an aperture, through which the user deposits the urine into the bowl, the aperture being off-center with respect to the bowl; and a drain that is offset aligned from the aperture. The urinal may also include a custom outer cover having a shape and color/pattern to complement the room. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the urinal is equipped with a low flow flush system having an armature that dispenses water at a low flow rate. The armature preferably comprises a plumbing tubing bent into a shape complementary to said urinal, and equipped with misting nozzles.

  • Patent number: 9249982
    Abstract: A device for altering the airflow pattern from a ceiling vent diffuser by obstructing openings in a region of the diffuser. The device comprises a flexible member that is secured to a diffuser vane by a hook member and two tabs. The hook member has two or more engagement regions which enable it to engage vanes on different manufacturer's diffusers. The first end of the hook member is either pivotally secured to the flexible member or is engaged in an adjustment mechanism thereon. The adjustment mechanism allows the second end of the hook to be situated in different positions relative to an interior edge of the flexible member so as to accommodate different diffusers. An extension detachably engages the flexible member to increase the size thereof to accommodate larger diffusers.

  • Patent number: 8002013
    Abstract: A device for altering the airflow pattern from a ceiling vent diffuser. The device comprises a flexible member that is secured to a diffuser vane by a spring-biased hook and one or more tabs. A release button on the outer surface of the device is depressed to pivot the hook out of engagement with the vane. The device is complementary shaped to a region of the diffuser. When installed, the device blocks the openings in that region and substantially prevents air from flowing out of the openings. One or more devices may be installed in selected regions to block airflow from those selected regions. A plurality of devices may be utilized to completely prevent airflow from the diffuser.

  • Patent number: 7703825
    Abstract: An extender for a bed of a truck, wherein the extender comprises a frame that has front end, a rear end and sides. At least one, and preferably two, spaced apart connector brackets extend outwardly away from the rear end of the frame. The connector brackets are designed to rest upon an end portion of the truck bed when the truck's tailgate has been removed. The connector brackets are preferably bolted into the truck bed, but may be frictionally engaged therewith. A strut extends downwardly from the frame and is connected to a rearwardly extending longitudinal support. The support is secured to the truck's trailer hitch. The extender is therefore supported by both the connector brackets and the hitch. The length of the strut is vertically adjustable to allow the extender to be secured to any type of truck. The longitudinal support is also slidably adjustable onto the trailer hitch to provide for the extender to be secured to any type of truck.
