Abstract: An embodiment of the invention includes a ramp mechanism configured for use in a recreational vehicle including a ramp portion and an actuation mechanism. The ramp portion is movable between a closed position and an open position. The actuation mechanism is configured to move the ramp portion between the closed position and the open position. The actuation mechanism includes a first mounting assembly, a second mounting assembly and an actuator connecting the first mounting assembly to the second mounting assembly.

Abstract: A drain closure that has all of the advantages of and none of the disadvantages of both hand and foot tub closures. A post which is threaded into the bottom of the strainer body receives a stopper which moves up and down on the post to open or close the drain. A metal spring carried by the post exerts a frictional force against the stopper interior sufficient to hold the stopper open and enhance its sealing ability when closed. The stopper can be closed by hand or foot. The stopper cannot be removed without first removing the stopper knob. Out of sight under the stopper is an integral collar which receives an open end wrench which permits tightening of the stopper knob to a point where stopper theft is virtually eliminated.

Abstract: In a bath waste and overflow arrangement, a system and method for easily and accurately adjusting a valve actuating linkage to the proper length. An adjustable overflow tube assembly is provided with a graduated scale that indicates the length to which the tube assembly is adjusted. The linkage has a similar scale and is adjusted in its length until such scale provides an indication corresponding to that on the first scale. This correspondence between the indicators on the scales assures that when the linkage is inserted into the overflow tube, its length is proper to accurately locate a valve plug controlled by the linkage.
