  • Patent number: 9974425
    Abstract: A high-loop bracket has a handle portion that allows a user to manipulate a hose support portion that supports an electric dishwasher's discharge hose into a position that easily forms a high rise loop. The high rise loop is fixed against a sink base cabinet by securing an easy to reach mount portion of the high-loop bracket. Preferably, the high-loop bracket is formed from a single sheet of stainless steel that is bent to create the various portions of the bracket.

  • Patent number: 8905057
    Abstract: A shunt pan is used to prevent excessive water damage from occurring if water leaking from a kitchen appliance is not discovered in a timely manner. The shunt pan directs the flow of collecting water into a walkway of a kitchen, where it is visible, rather than allowing the water to soak into surrounding kitchen walls and cabinets. A shunt pan is characterized by a rectangular floor bordered on three sides by walls, but not bordered by a physical obstruction on the fourth side, which is open. Preferably, the open side includes an indicator material, such as confetti or glitter in a water-soluble binder, that can be carried by flowing water into the walkway. If the water that carried the indicator material evaporates, the indicator material will remain in the walkway to clearly show the presence of a water leak.
