  • Patent number: 11903530
    Abstract: Various hanging assemblies are disclosed. The hanging assembly can be configured to hold a bathing accessory, such as a loofa or a bath sponge, to more effectively dry the bathing accessory between uses. The hanging assembly can include a hanging apparatus and an adhesive component configured to adhere the hanging apparatus to a surface, such as a shower wall. The hanging assembly can include a base portion, a hook portion, and an intermediate portion extending between the base portion and the hook portion. The base portion can include a proximal side opposite a distal side. The adhesive component can be applied to the proximal side of the base portion to adhere the hanging apparatus to the surface.

  • Patent number: 6561376
    Abstract: A beverage container includes a body member and a lid that fits thereon in only a single orientation. One way this is accomplished is by using a lid that has an asymmetric perimeter profile such as a reniform. Another way is by using a projection on the body member that uniquely mates with a receiving area on the lid. A first orientation indicator, such as a groove, may be disposed on the body member to indicate the orientation of the container to the user's hand. A second orientation indicator may be disposed on the lid to help guide a user's lips to a drinking aperture and/or assist in preventing spillage. In a preferred embodiment, the body member includes a clear outer member and an inner member, wherein an advertising medium may be disposed between the two members for viewing.

  • Patent number: 6357344
    Abstract: A removable firebox for use in a portable, collapsible barbecue grill including retractable heating grate on top of the firebox and a retractable mid-level cooking grill for providing high-temperature cooking. A lower main grill is disposed in a base cavity of the barbecue grill for providing moderate temperature cooking. The firebox rests in the base cavity of the grill housing and provides heat to a cooking area defined by the base cavity, an upper lid of the housing and a pair of side walls extending upward from the base cavity. The firebox and/or the upper lid includes insulation and/or cooling baffles to protect users from heated surfaces. Venting is provided from the sides and rear of the grill housing. When collapsed, the grate and grills fold onto or are retracted within the firebox, and the entire firebox assembly is stowed in a sealed grill housing. The top and bottom portions of the grill housing mate to form a sealed container-like structure for convenient transportability or storage.

  • Patent number: 6253392
    Abstract: A tub defines a volume for receiving a child and holding water in a top side at least when oriented in a reclined position, the tub having a back side, head and foot ends, and first and second arms connected by a front cross member. The first and second arms are pivotally attached to the tub about an axis displaced from the foot end of the tub into at least first and second positions. The front cross member is disposed above, and displaced from, the top side of the tub when the arms are in first position. An elongated member is attached to the front cross member at a first end and extends from the front cross member to a second end having a foot disposed below the foot end of the tub and adapted to engage a smooth surface. The elongated member extends toward the foot end of the tub to provide a passive crotch restraint for a child received by the tub when the arms are in first position.
