| 20090223917 | TELESCOPING SUPPORT BAR - A telescoping support bar installed in a shower enclosure and similar facilities requires no mechanical wall fasteners. The support bar includes telescoping tubes with end retainers gripping walls of the enclosures. Length of the support bar is governed by fixed length spacer means and internal extensible means. Extensible means, having bearings movable along a rod, provides the lengthening and shortening of the support bar as the distance between the bearings is increased or decreased. This change in distance likewise changes the overall length of the support bar. With the retainers snug against the walls, one of the tubes, being rotatable, is turned in circular motion. This rotation is converted into an axial force along the bar causing the retainers to forcefully grip the walls, providing a rigid and strong bar installation. | 09-10-2009 |
| 20110094985 | Shower Space Expander - The invention is an adjustable extendible (or telescoping) arm mounted on the shower wall of the typical tub and shower combination having 2 positions, stowed and active. The stowed (or normal/collapsed) position is against the wall, either the front or the rear wall (the nominal 30″ wide wall) of the shower. In the active position the device is positioned against the shower curtain pushing the mid to upper portion of the curtain outboard of the tub area increasing usable space for shower activities. The shower occupant rotates the collapsed arm toward the shower curtain and extends the sections to allow the arm to push the central area of the curtain out producing additional room. A secondary use for the invention is to use the arm to position the wet shower curtain inboard of the tub allowing the curtain to dry rapidly and prevent mildew. The invention is comprised of a flat plate with 2 ears which captivate the arm between them. A carriage bolt passes through holes in the 3 components. A knob with integral threaded nut is screwed onto the exposed threads of the carriage bolt. When tightened the knob produces friction against the arm enabling it to remain fixed in the desired position against the shower curtain. Once friction required for the specific curtain (s) is set by the occupant the invention requires no additional adjustment to maintain the curtain in the desired position. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20120152872 | TENSION ROD MECHANISM WITH OPPOSING THREADS - A tension rod mechanism for a tension rod having a first outer shaft with a second inner shaft slideable therein. A first collar receiveable in the first outer shaft of a tension rod for rotational movement therewith and slidable axial movement relative thereto threadingly engages a tapered first threaded shaft and is configured to apply a outwardly-directed radial force to the first outer shaft. A second collar fixedly receivable in the second inner shaft for movement therewith engages the second threaded shaft. A first rotation of the first outer shaft relative to the second inner shaft increases the outwardly-directed radial force applied by the first collar to the first outer shaft, and a second rotation in an opposite direction increases the axial distance between the first and second collars. | 06-21-2012 |
| 20120152873 | UNIDIRECTIONAL TENSION ROD MECHANISM - A tension rod mechanism for a tension rod having a first outer shaft with a second inner shaft slideable therein has a unidirectional slip-lock configured to be received in the first outer shaft for rotational movement therewith and unidirectional slidable axial movement relative thereto. A threaded shaft is fixedly connected to the unidirectional slip-lock. A collar is threadingly engaged with the threaded shaft and configured to be fixedly received in the second inner shaft for movement therewith. When the unidirectional slip-lock is in the first outer shaft and the collar is fixedly received in the second inner shaft, slidable axial movement of the unidirectional slip-lock relative to the first outer shaft may occur only in an expansion direction A rotation of the first outer shaft relative to the second inner shaft increases the axial distance between the unidirectional slip-lock and the collar. | 06-21-2012 |
| 20120152874 | MOLDED TENSION ROD MECHANISM WITH SINGLE LOCK NUT - A tension rod mechanism for a tension rod having a second inner shaft slideably received by a first outer shaft and rotatable about a longitudinal axis of the tension rod. An expandable collar is threadingly engaged with a tapered first threaded shaft is configured to be received in the first outer shaft for rotational movement therewith and slidable axial movement relative thereto. A second attachment shaft fixedly connected to the tapered first threaded shaft is configured to be received in the second inner shaft for rotational and slidable axial movement therewith. When the expandable collar is in the first outer shaft and the second attachment shaft is fixedly received in the second inner shaft, a first rotation of the first outer shaft relative to the second inner shaft expands a diameter of the collar fixedly attaching the expandable collar to the first outer shaft for axial movement therewith. | 06-21-2012 |
