Abstract: A thermometer configured to detect a range of temperatures of a cooking surface includes a gauge including a first indicia and a second indicia, a thermometal operably connected to the gauge, and a stationary member defining a first aperture, the gauge configured to rotate relative to the stationary member. In response to the thermometal detecting a first range of temperatures, the gauge is configured to rotate relative to the stationary member to display the first indicia through the first aperture. In response to the thermometal detecting a second range of temperatures, the gauge is configured to rotate relative to the stationary member to display the second indicia through the first aperture.

Abstract: A wipe dispenser is disclosed. The wipe dispenser has an ellipsoidal housing having at least two equal principal horizontal axes, an interior wipe storage space, a lower housing, and an upper housing. The lower housing has a bottom wall and a first side wall. The upper housing has a top wall and a second side wall. The top wall has a wipe dispensation aperture. The upper housing disconnectably engaged to the lower housing.

Abstract: A mop is disclosed. In some embodiments, the mop has a head, a shaft, and an absorbent substrate. The head is connected to an end of the shaft. An absorbent substrate roll arrangement usable with a mop and a method of cleaning a floor are also disclosed.

Abstract: A adjustable resistance band assembly for providing resistive force during the performance of an exercise. The adjustable resistance band assembly includes a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween. First and second resilient members are provided. An adjustment assembly enables a user to selectively engage the first or first and second resilient members to adjust the resistive force provided for performance of an exercise.

Abstract: A method of varying a resistive force applied by exercise equipment including providing a resistance band assembly for providing resistive force during the performance of an exercise. The resistance band assembly includes a housing having a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween. A bore is defined in the housing and a connector is provided in the bore. The connector includes first and second surfaces and a hole is defined in the connector and extends between the surfaces. A disc is also provided in the bore and also has a first and second surface. An aperture is defined in the disc and extends between the first and second surfaces thereof. A first and second resilient member is provided and these resilient members are selectively engageable with the resistance band assembly to provide a first resistive force during the performance of an exercise.

Abstract: A detachable handle assembly for an item of cookware includes a handle configured to removably engage a mounting member coupled to the item of cookware, and a locking assembly slidably received in a slot defined by the handle. The locking assembly includes a housing defining an aperture and a button, a biasing member configured to apply a biasing force on the housing, and a locking surface positions on a circumferential surface that defines the aperture, wherein the mounting member is configured to be received by the aperture and selectively engage the locking surface.

Abstract: A shared workstation apparatus with converging treadmills including treadmills with centerlines that are transversely oriented towards each other at an angle, which can for example be an acute angle. The shared workstation includes a frame, a first treadmill, a second treadmill, and at least one shared work surface located above the treadmills. The orientation of the treadmills and the shared work surface allows users to share work with each other across the shared work space.
