    Abstract: An oral hygiene device for use with a sink having hot and cold water lines includes a storage mount and a housing removably coupled thereto. The housing includes hot and cold water inputs and an outlet. The housing also includes first and second channels coupling the inputs to the outlet. The device includes piping tees and flexible tubing for connection to a sink's water lines. The device includes adjustable temperature valves in the first and second channels, respectively, for regulating amounts of hot and cold water passing through the channels. An adjustable volume valve is included for determining a volume of water exiting the outlet.

  • Publication number: 20090159599
    Abstract: A flame retardant storage device includes a flame retardant shell having upper and lower ends, front and back faces, and opposed sides. The shell defines an enclosed interior area and includes at least one door for accessing the interior area. The storage device includes a hanger element having a first portion lowerly adjacent the shell upper end and being configured to distribute a hanging force throughout the shell upper end. The hanger element includes a rotatable hook operatively coupled to the first portion and extends upwardly of the shell upper end. Further, the hanger element includes a fixed hook operatively coupled to the first portion and extends upwardly of the shell upper end. The rotatable hook is configured to attach to a generally horizontal pole and rotate at least about ninety degrees relative to the first portion.

  • Publication number: 20090159597
    Abstract: A storage device includes a plurality of shells with each shell having upper and lower ends, front and back faces, and opposed sides. Each shell defines an enclosed interior area and having a door for accessing the interior area. The shells are selectively maintained one above another in a stacked configuration. The shells are allowed to rotate relative to one another so as to selectively maintain respective back faces adjacent one another. The shells are able to separate from one another. A plurality of wheels are adjacent at least one shell back face adjacent a respective upper end or lower end. At least one shell includes a retractable handle. At least one shell includes a hanger element configured to distribute a hanging force throughout the shell upper end.
