Abstract: A tubular member and flange combination includes a tubular member having a buckled section proximate an end of the tubular member. A flange is penetrated by an end of the tubular member where an end section of the tubular member is bent over the flange such that the flange is axially retained by the buckled section and the bent end section of the tubular member. A method of forming the tubular member and flange combination includes buckling the tubular member at a location proximate an end of the tubular member forming a buckled section, placing the flange over the tubular member end section such that the tubular member end section penetrates an opening of the flange, and bending an end section of the tubular member to extend over the flange, such that the flange is axially retained by the buckled section and the bent end section of the tubular member.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, the flange 10 has one or more openings 90 for accommodating fasteners 92 for fastening the flange and tubular member (e.g., for fastening the grab bar) to a structure such as a wall, as for example shown in FIG. 6. In example embodiment as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, flange covers 94 that extend over the flange 10, so as to cover the flange, may be used. The flange cover may be installed over the tubular member prior to the bucking, or from the opposite end of the tubular member after buckling. As can be understood, if flanges are connected to both ends of the tubular member in accordance with the example embodiment herein, the flange covers must be placed over the tubular member at least prior to the bucking of the second end portion of the tubular member. In an example embodiment, each flange cover has an opening 96 having a diameter larger than the outer surface diameter of the tubular member but smaller than the outer surface diameter of the buckled section of the tubular member.

Abstract: A triangular package includes three sides and two end tab each covering a portion of an end of the triangular package. A method of forming a triangular package includes bending side portions of stock material to form the sides of the triangular packaging and shrink wrapping the triangular package causing tabs to cover portions of the triangular package ends.

Abstract: A stile for at least partially enclosing a toilet, the stile includes a first board with a first face and a first edge surface adjacent to the first face, at least a part of the first edge surface defining a first slot. A second board with a second face and a second edge surface is adjacent to the first face, and at least a part of the second edge surface defines a second slot. The second edge surface is proximate to the first edge surface and the first face is adjacent to the second face with a joining line therebetween. An insert sheet is disposed within both the first slot and the second slot and adheres within the slots with adhesive. A laminate is fixed to and covers the first face, the second face, and he joining line.
