  • Patent number: 8484771
    Abstract: A tub enclosure includes a back wall and a first side wall attached to the back wall. The first side wall and the back wall establish an interior of the tub enclosure. An interior side of the first side wall extends past an interior side of the back wall to establish an offset between the first side wall and the back wall. A caulk joint extends along the offset between the back wall and the first side wall. The caulk joint is obscured from vision when viewed in a direction toward the interior.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8132275
    Abstract: The present invention is a tub and shower enclosure formed from three pieces. A wet wall, back wall, and dry wall are each formed separately. Living hinges connects the wet wall to one end of the back wall and the dry wall to the opposing end of the back wall. The hinges allow the wet wall and dry wall to be folded into positions that are generally parallel to the back wall for shipping.

  • Patent number: 8095999
    Abstract: Shoulder supports extend from a shower enclosure wall and support a shower accessory. The shoulders have an attachment on the side for the shower accessories. The selected shower accessory would have a mating attachment on each of its ends to correspond to two shoulders extending from the enclosure walls. The attachment is preferably a male/female indentation on one of the shoulders and shower accessory and a corresponding attachment on the other. The indentations provide a non-permanent attachment of the shower accessory to the supports so that the chosen accessory may later be removed and replaced if desired.

  • Patent number: 7638436
    Abstract: The invention includes a semiconductor processing method. A first material comprising silicon and nitrogen is formed. A second material is formed over the first material, and the second material comprises silicon and less nitrogen, by atom percent, than the first material. An imagable material is formed on the second material, and patterned. A pattern is then transferred from the patterned imagable material to the first and second materials. The invention also includes a structure comprising a first layer of silicon nitride over a substrate, and a second layer on the first layer. The second layer comprises silicon and is free of nitrogen. The structure further comprises a third layer consisting essentially of imagable material on the second layer.

  • Patent number: 7509752
    Abstract: A level assembly includes a housing having a level mounted within. The housing includes a first arm and a second arm slidably attached to the housing. The first and second arms are both stored in storage positions. Fastener locators associated with each arm are both stored in storage positions. During use the fastener locators are pivoted to an extended position.

  • Patent number: 7467572
    Abstract: A hammer equipped with a mallet attachment and a measuring scale. The mallet attachment includes a surface cap for covering the striking surface of the hammer such that the hammer is visible as a mallet which provides a resilient surface. A surface cap holder stores the surface cap when using the hammer. The measuring scale is located on a grip which surrounds a hammer shank. The hammer functions as both a hammer and a mallet.

  • Patent number: 7210243
    Abstract: A level assembly includes a housing having a level mounted within. The housing includes a first arm and a second arm slidably attached to the housing. The first and second arms are both stored in storage positions. Fastener locators associated with each arm are both stored in storage positions. During use the fastener locators are pivoted to an extended position. If additional distance between the fastener locators is needed the first and second arms can also be extended by sliding them along another axis relative to the housing.
