Abstract: A toilet flush water supply control unit (10) which enables hot water to be immediately available at a hot water faucet (56), is described. The control unit (10) is formed from a first fluid conduit (12) and a second fluid conduit (20). The first fluid conduit provides a passage (12C) between the cold water supply (52) and the toilet flush tank (40). An intermediate opening (12D) in the first fluid conduit is opened and closed by a thermostatic device (21) mounted in the second fluid conduit. The thermostatic device allows cool water in the hot water system to flow into the first fluid conduit and thus into the toilet flush tank. Once hot water reaches the thermostatic device, the device closes. A valve (28) which is manually controlled by a handle (29) attached to the toilet flush tank, allows the user to turn the control unit on and off. The unit saves water and at the same time provides convenience of use.

Abstract: An improved food spill catching device (10) with folded straps (12) mounted in a tray portion 10c for attaching the device around the neck of a person is described. The device is preferably provided by forming the straps 12 and trays (10b and 10c) separately as preforms (20 and 30) which are then assembled and formed into the device.

Abstract: A device (10) for catching spills when foods are eaten in a moving vehicle is described. The device includes a tray (11) and a strap or straps (12a or 12b) which hold the tray in position across the chest (C) of the person (P). Preferably the tray is used by a driver of the vehicle. The device 10 can be cut from a sheet (20) of material to provide a preform (20a, 20b, 20c or 20d) which is assembled to form the device. The device can also be stacked (10A to 10F) with each of the straps inside each of the trays prior to use.
