Abstract: A shower rod snap-fit assembly (200) includes a shower curtain rod (101) having at least one first aperture (202) at each end of the rod. A resilient spring (201) is used for insertion into each end of the shower curtain rod (101) such that portions of the resilient spring (201) extend through the at least one first aperture (202). A base member (105) is used for attachment to a wall and has plurality of second apertures (205). In use, the shower curtain rod (101) is inserted into the base member (205) such that the plurality of second apertures (205) receive portions of the resilient spring (201) extending from the at least one first aperture (202) for holding the shower curtain rod (101) into a fixed position.

Abstract: In one embodiment, footwear is provided that includes a sole having a light source disposed therein. A foot sensor, disposed in the sole, detects the presence or absence of a foot in the footwear. A light sensor is adapted to detect the amount of ambient light adjacent the footwear. The footwear may also include an energy storage element for powering the light source and maintaining the light source in the ON state for a period of time after the foot is removed. A selector may be provided for selecting a mode of operation, such as OFF, Auto ON and ON. In another embodiment, footwear is provided that includes a tag that is removably coupled to the footwear by a hook and loop fastener.

Abstract: Footwear is provided that includes a sole having a front and a back. A light source is disposed in the front of the sole. A foot sensor, disposed in the sole, detects the presence or absence of a foot in the footwear. A light sensor, disposed in the sole, is adapted to detect the amount of ambient light adjacent the footwear. The sole may also include a delay circuit for maintaining the light source in the ON state for a predetermined period of time after the foot is removed.
