  • Publication number: 20240115090
    Abstract: A grab bar assembly including a body, first and second end caps, and first and second couplings. The body includes a first end and a second end and is formed of one of a single body section or multiple body sections. The first end cap is attached to the first end of the body by the first coupling and the second end cap is attached to the second end of the body by the second coupling. The body sections may be of differing lengths so as to provide the grab bar assembly with a modular construction readily and easily allowing for a wide range of different length grab bar assemblies.

  • Publication number: 20240081569
    Abstract: A ligature resistant hook for supporting a personal article from a wall or door or other vertical support surface. The hook includes a pivot arm that is biased into a retracted, substantially vertical position and moveable between the retracted position, an over-extended positon and an extended position located between the retracted and over-extended positions. The pivot arm is biased so as to prevent movement of the pivot arm into the over-extended position until exceeding a threshold weight applied to the pivot arm.

  • Patent number: 10292457
    Abstract: A warming rack for holding footwear includes a base and an array of support posts supported by the base. The base defines a length extending between a first end and a second end and a width between a pair of opposing side edges. The array of support posts is configured to retain multiple articles of footwear above the base. Each support posts includes a first portion extending from a proximal end in a first direction substantially perpendicular to the base to a bend line, and a second portion extending at an angle relative to the first direction from the bend line to a terminal end. The second portion is configured to retain a corresponding article of footwear in a fixed position when the second portion is received by an interior void of the footwear.
