  • Patent number: 10809407
    Abstract: A tool for locating the position of an electrical junction box on a finished wall surface has a vertical support beam to which is attached a junction box position marking mechanism. When in use, the support beam rests upon a floor surface that is proximate to the wall and the marking mechanism can be forced into contact with the wall surface leaving an imprint that can be later used as a guide to position an electrical junction box. The marking mechanism can be connected to the support beam in a manner that permits it to be adjusted along the length of the support beam. Alternatively, the marking mechanism can be comprised of a template that serves as a guide for the operator to trace a line around at least a portion of the circumference of the interior opening of the template.

  • Patent number: 10092067
    Abstract: A walking stick can include a handle (50) including a head (52). The head (52) can include at least one internal reinforcement member (90). The at least one internal reinforcement member (90) can have a shape that is substantially the same as a shape of the head (52). The bathing wand can include a neck (54) and a shaft (20). The bathing wand can also include a foot (150, 180) for engaging the ground. The foot (150, 180) can be coupled to the shaft (20). In some aspects, the foot (180) can include at least two arms (186) extending from a top portion (190) towards a bottom portion (194) of the foot (180). Each of the at least two arms (186) can be coupled together through a base (188) of the of the bottom portion (194). In some aspects, at least one arm (186) can form a loop (193).
