Abstract: A composite hinge is provided for the seat and the lid of a cushioned toilet seat. The hinge has three arms or leaves, (1) a bowl leaf adapted to be secured as by bolt to the rear of the porcelain bowl, (2) a forwardly extending arm or seat leaf adapted to be secured to the underside of the seat at the rearward end thereof, and (3) a second forwardly extending arm or lid leaf adapted to be secured to the underside of the lid at the rearward end thereof. The pivot point of the lid leaf is adjustable automatically relative to the seat leaf, thereby to accomodate the lid to cushioned toilet seats having different cushion thicknesses. The seat leaf is adjustable automatically in the vertical direction to accommodate the seat to bumpers of different thickness. The composite hinge is so designed that there is no stress on the hinge pins.

Abstract: An overcap assembly which is particularly suited for use in conjunction with spray-type cans having domed upper ends with annular beads surrounding a valve actuator. The overcap assembly includes a molded-plastic cup-shaped member adapted to be placed over the valve and an inverted, frusto-conical sleeve connecting the cap to the can in such a manner as to expose the valve when the cap is rotated. The sleeve has a pair of legs connected together by flexible webs providing fulcrums at diametrical locations. Lugs are provided on the lower ends of the legs to engage underneath the bead, and a helical groove is provided in the upper end of the sleeve. A cylindrical wall depends from the end wall of the cap and has a bead which engages in the helical groove. The webs of the sleeve are located closer to the top the cap than to the lugs at the bottom.
