Abstract: Self-moving mechanisms, slides incorporating such mechanisms, i.e., self-moving slides and methods of self-moving slides are provided. An exemplary embodiment self-moving slide includes a first slide member and a second slide member slideably coupled to the first slide member. A self-moving mechanism is coupled to the second slide member for self-moving the first slide member relative to the second slide member. A dampener is included dampening the movement of the first slide member relative to the second slide member.

Abstract: A liquid feed system supplies liquid from a collapsible container to at least one liquid dispenser. At least one line couples, in fluid communication, the collapsible fluid container to the at least one liquid dispenser. The liquid feed system may include first and second collapsible containers, with the first collapsible container at an elevation higher than the elevation of the second collapsible container. The first and second collapsible containers are coupled, in fluid communication, to one another and to at least one liquid dispenser by at least one connecting line. Other embodiments of the liquid feed system provide for a series connection between the first and second collapsible containers, and the second collapsible container and the at least one dispenser.

Abstract: A washing system for dispensing a liquid cleanser or lotion includes a housing enclosing a first and second reservoir, a tube system for connecting in fluid communication the first and second reservoirs to a manual valve that is located on or outside of the housing. The first reservoir comprises a collapsible, airtight bag containing liquid cleanser or lotion, and is located above the second reservoir, such that soap or lotion will flow into the second reservoir from the first reservoir due to gravity when the first reservoir bag is installed. The second reservoir provides additional liquid storage for use between replacement of the first reservoir.

Abstract: A pull handle for dispenser machines having a first arm and a second arm. The second arm may be articulated and translated about an axis. The joint between the first and second arms is configured such that the second arm may be secured into and released from a first position. The first position facilitates accessible engagement of the pull handle.

Abstract: The present invention provides an ambulatory assistance device such as a grab bar or the like which pivots between a non-in-use and an in-use position. The pivoting of the device is assisted by a torsion member acting between the base member and the body. The torsion device is selected so as to retain the body in its non-in-use position when placed in that position. The weight of the pivoting body of the present invention overcomes the force generated by the torsion member when the body is placed in the in-use position so as to retain that orientation. Moreover, the torsion member acts to assist the user of the device in counteracting the weight of the pivoting body member when the body member is moved between the non-in-used position and the in-use position.
