  • Patent number: 9003981
    Abstract: A furniture connector includes a pair of connector blocks disposed in opposing relation. Each of the connector blocks includes: a first end which cooperate to removably secure an end of a longitudinal frame member between the pair of connector blocks; and a second end having a first flange and a second flange extending longitudinally. When the pair of connector blocks are secured to the end of the longitudinal frame member, the first flange of each connector block cooperate to define a proximal transverse channel where a first transverse frame member may be removably secured to the pair of connector blocks. The second flange of each connector block cooperate to define a distal transverse channel where a second transverse frame member may be removably secured to the pair of connector blocks.

  • Publication number: 20060138002
    Abstract: A combination toilet implement and holder therefor includes an implement handle having first and second handle ends, a handle intermediate portion between the first and second handle ends, and a shield retaining structure. An implement head is provided attached to the handle proximate the second handle end. A shield is provided that at least partially surrounds the handle intermediate portion. The shield has first and second shield ends in turn having first and second shield openings respectively. The first shield opening is oriented toward the first handle end and the second shield opening is oriented toward the second handle end and is sized so as to be capable of surrounding the implement head. The shield is movable along the handle toward the implement head so as to at least partially surround the implement head and so as to be movable along the handle away from the implement head so as to be engaged with the retaining structure to prevent the shield from falling over the implement head during use.
