Specifically, the invention is characterized by an inverted U-shaped hanger detachably and snugly mounted upon the head bar in a stable position, wherein one leg of the hanger serves the dual function of suspending a hygienic reservoir assembly in a partially stabilized position by limiting the swinging movement of the lower free end portion of the assembly backwardly in the direction of the other hanger leg.

Abstract: A device for suspension of a solution container in both an infusion and drain position, easily foldable or rollable for storage or carrying. The device comprises an elongated, flexible, foldable strap (10) attached at one end to a bracket (12), the bracket adapted to be secured to an elevated surface. There is an adjusting means, preferably a bolt (18) integral with the bracket to enable attachment and detachment of the bracket to an elevated surface. Finally, there are support means (24, 30) for suspension of the solution container, the support means being adjustably engagable with the strap at any desired location on the strap.

Abstract: A wall storage system makes use of a support rail horizontally attached to a wall. The rail may be offset from the wall between its ends and has one or more vertical grooves across its width. One or more brackets formed with a U-shaped arm section to support a load are attached to the rail by an inverted U-shaped fastener section. A protrusion at the open end of the fastener causes it to grip the rail and yet permits the bracket to be mounted on the bar at the groove. Once the bracket has been slid along the rail out of the groove area, it is captured on the rail and provides firm support for the load.

Abstract: A hanger for supporting a toilet tank chemical dispensing apparatus which attaches to the top edge of the tank and which incorporates a tilt compensating feature to accommodate non-vertical toilet tank walls. The dispenser is preferably so mounted on the inner leg of a generally U-shaped hanger which contacts the innermost surface of the toilet tank wall as to be vertically adjustable. The outer leg of the hanger contacts the outermost surface of the toilet tank wall at a pivot point. Resilient means, which direct a force between the inner leg and the inside surface of the toilet tank wall at a point above the pivot point, coact with the pivot point to produce a coupled force system. The coupled force system causes the hanger and dispenser adjustably secured thereto to rotate about the pivot point into a position in which the lowermost end of the dispenser is held adjacent the tank wall, thereby maintaining the dispenser as close to vertical as is feasible despite the tilt inherent in the toilet tank wall.

Abstract: A junction enclosure assembly including an enclosure having a pair of vertically spaced rails mounted upon the inner surface of the back panel thereof in forwardly spaced relation and a junction mounting panel having a mounting bracket at each of its upper and lower end portions which extend rearwardly and downwardly behind the rails and are inserted behind the rails from above to attach and support the mounting panel upon the rails in a readily, quickly and easily removable manner is disclosed. Threaded interengagement means is carried by the mounting panel for locking same to the rails.

Abstract: A bottle suspending device primarily for a toilet cleaner dispenser bottle for use in a toilet tank. A pivotal member is received in a recess of the bottle's sidewall when stored and is swingable outwardly to an extended position for resting over the top of the toilet tank wall when the bottle is inverted. The pivotal member has a pair of protruding nipples which are press fit upon assembly onto a pair of corresponding sockets in the recess of the bottle wall, so that the pivotal member rotates from its stored position through about 90.degree. to its extended position along a horizontal pivot axis near the upper end of the suspended inverted bottle. A pair of stop ribs on the pivotal member near the pivot axis abut against the dispenser bottle walls when the pivotal member is extended, to prevent rotation beyond the extended position, and structure associated with the recess provides further protection against over-pivoting.

An elongated, generally planar holder is mounted on and extends outwardly from the plate across part but not all of the width of the drawer between the opposite sides or the length of the drawer between the front and back, and a pin mounted on the plate opposite the holder for engagement in a groove running along the inside surface of the side or back on which the plate is mounted. With the holder free of file folders or other objects the plate is free to slide along the side or back on which it is mounted so as to firmly position the holder against file folders or other objects to be secured within the drawer.

Abstract: A filter apparatus for aquariums consisting of two separable units. Within a filter unit is located the water filtering means and a pump for circulating the water from the aquarium through the filter means and back to the aquarium. Mounted upon a power unit is a motor having an output shaft which at one end is provided with a magnet. The power unit and filter unit are both hung from the rim of a wall of the aquarium by means of interlocking lip structures. The units are constructed such that the filter unit is seated in a "nesting" fashion upon the power unit, thus the power unit and filter unit are positioned in close proximity to one another and maintained in proper alignment such that the magnetic field of the magnet on the motor shaft magnetically influences a flywheel of the water pump and causes the latter to pump water when the motor is energized.

Abstract: The dispensing container defines a main chamber and integrally formed pump chamber beneath the main chamber. A first check valve is positioned between the main chamber and pump chamber within the container and a second combination pressure relief and check valve is provided at the lower end of the pump chamber. The walls of the pump chamber are flexible and may be manually squeezed to dispense liquid in the pump chamber through the second check valve, releasing of the walls then drawing more liquid from the main chamber into the pump chamber. The dispenser container design is such that a plurality of such containers can be conveniently coupled to a track in horizontal, side-by-side relationship for mounting on a bathroom wall.

Abstract: An improved bracket which can be mounted to walls with conventional fasteners such as screws or nails, and also can be mounted to wall molding by a detachable hook assembly which hooks over the top surface of the wall molding and enters between the back surface of the wall, thus eliminating the need for conventional fasteners, such as screws or nails.
