  • Publication number: 20210378392
    Abstract: Disclosed is a removable handle cover device for wrapping around a bar to prevent a user's hands to be in direct contact with the bar. The handle cover comprises at least one piece of material wrappable around a handle bar, one or more spring steel elements, and a releasing mechanism for quickly removing the handle cover from the bar. The device is operative to be quickly installed and removed from the handle bar by the user with a single action, while physically isolating the user's hands from the bar. The handle cover is able to prevent the user from being exposed to contaminants on or to contaminate the surface of the bar by increasing the efficacy in the implementation and performance of proven healthy practices, reducing the risk of contamination with and spreading of contagious diseases.

  • Patent number: 8103155
    Abstract: A hands-free hair dryer mounting apparatus adapted for holding a hair dryer in a universal hair dryer holder assembly is disclosed. The apparatus includes a support bracket that is removably affixed to a wall mounting plate adapted for secure attachment to a wall or other surface. A universal hair dryer holder, adapted for receiving and holding any type, size, or style of handheld hair dryer, projects outward from the bracket. The hair dryer holder is connected to an adjustable arm which contains a vertical pivot connection that allows for manual angular adjustment and affixation of the hair dryer about a generally horizontal pivot axis. The adjustable arm also contains a horizontal pivot connection that allows for manual angular adjustment and affixation of the hair dryer about a generally vertical pivot axis. Angular adjustment in both the vertical and horizontal directions is accomplished by a spring biased interlocking joints.
