Abstract: Ligature-resistant lavatory assembly incorporating a ligature-resistant adjustable faucet and valve, particularly suitable for use in behavioral health, psychiatric facilities, or prisons. The ligature-resistant adjustable faucet control includes a fixable seating element and a control knob at least partially rotatable received in the seating element. The control knob is connected to a mixing valve so that rotation of said control knob controls the mixing valve and, in turn, adjusts the temperature of water dispensed from the faucet.

Abstract: This is a molding apparatus designed to mold a plastic tub of circular transverse cross-section and re-entrant shape. Specifically, the tub tapers from its closed bottom to its opened top. The mold core is, therefore, collapsed radially to permit extraction of the plastic tub from the mold. This radial collapse is accomplished by forming the mold core of a central segment and a plurality of peripheral segments, and then axially extending the central segment while moving the peripheral segments along a radially inward path so that core collapse occurs. The exterior shape of the peripheral core segments defines a circular cross-sectional shape for the interior of the tub, despite the fact that the central core segment has the configuration of a hexagonal pyramid. Side mold segments which move radially outwardly and a tub extraction ram complete the equipment for extracting the tub from the mold.
