20150208874 | SLIDING SHOWER DOOR GUIDE AND DRAIN ASSEMBLY - A guide and drain assembly has a drain channel with a base wall and first and second side walls extending along a longitudinal axis, and a cover extending over the channel. The cover has at least one guide channel extending along the longitudinal axis and positioned between first and second edge members. The at least one guide channel is formed by a first base section positioned between first and second sides. The at least one guide channel is sized to receive an edge portion of a sliding door of a shower door assembly. The base section of the at least one guide channel defines a series of apertures extending longitudinally and providing fluid communication between the guide channel and the drain channel. | 07-30-2015 |
20150096117 | SHOWER ROD MOUNTING ASSEMBLY - A shower rod mounting assembly is provided with a flexible substrate having a first side and a spaced apart second side. A reversible dry adhesive layer at least partially covers the first side of the substrate to attach the flexible substrate to a surface and leave the underlying surface unmarked after removal. The reversible adhesive retains an adhesion property for a plurality of adhesion cycles. A receptacle is mounted to the second side and is adapted to receive an end of a shower rod. A boss extends from the substrate with a track formed therein with an opening to receive an end of a shower rod. A biasing member extends from the substrate adjacent to the opening to retain the end of the shower rod after installation. | 04-09-2015 |
20150090624 | REUSABLE DESIGN SWATCH APPARATUS AND SYSTEM - A swatch assembly includes a substrate with a decorative sample thereon, and an adhesive layer at least partially covering the substrate. The adhesive layer is a reversible adhesive configured to releasably and temporarily attach the design swatch to an underlying surface, leave the underlying surface unmarked after removal, and retain an adhesion property for a plurality of adhesion cycles. A design system includes a first design swatch with a first substrate and a first adhesive layer being a reversible adhesive, and a second design swatch with a second substrate and a second adhesive layer being a reversible adhesive. A display apparatus for a design swatch includes a substrate layer, an adhesive layer being a reversible adhesive, and an attachment feature supported by the substrate layer and configured to receive a design swatch for display against an underlying surface. | 04-02-2015 |
20150090135 | PAINT STENCIL - A stencil includes a substrate defining at least one aperture extending therethrough.
