According to an exemplary embodiment, a dispenser for rolled paper product includes a first arm and a second arm, with the first arm having an elongate member configured to receive a roll of paper product. A first mounting bracket is configured to rotatingly couple the first arm to a mounting surface. The first arm is configured to cover the first mounting bracket from view. A second mounting bracket is configured to rigidly couple the second arm to the mounting surface.

Paper dispenser

A mounting system includes an arm having a first end and a second end, the first end configured to engage a first side of a wall. The mounting system further includes a bracket configured to engage a second side of the wall opposing the first side, the bracket coupled to the arm by a fastener, wherein the second end of the arm is configured to engage the first side of the wall at a location offset from the fastener.

Mounting system and method

A rolled paper dispenser having a first arm having a cavity; a second, spaced apart, arm that includes one of an extension and a notch; and an elongated paper holder extending between a first end, which is coupled to the first arm, and a second end, which has the other of the extension and the notch to couple to the second arm in a closed position and to decouple from the second arm in an open position, the paper holder comprising a tubular member and a fastener, the tubular member having an outer surface, which is configured to receive a rolled paper product, and an inner surface, which defines a longitudinal bore in which the fastener is disposed, the fastener extending beyond the tubular member at the first end to engage the cavity to couple the paper holder to the first arm.

An adjustable lavatory drain assembly includes a receptor and a cover. The receptor includes a lower end and an upper end. The upper end of the receptor includes an outer flange. The cover is removably coupled to the upper end of the receptor. The cover includes a body having an opening defining a first flow path and a sleeve extending from a bottom surface of the body. The sleeve is adjustably coupled to the upper end of the receptor forming a circumferential gap between an upper surface of the outer flange and a bottom surface of the body. The cover is selectively adjustable relative to the receptor to increase or decrease the circumferential gap. The circumferential gap defines part of a second flow path.

Lavatory drain

A rolled paper dispenser including a first arm having a base portion and an end portion; a first mounting bracket attachable to a wall and disposed in a cavity of the base portion of the first arm; first and second bushing members that are rotatable relative to one another, such that the end portion of the first arm and the first bushing member are selectively rotatable relative to the second bushing member and the first mounting bracket; a second arm including a second cavity; a second mounting bracket attachable to the wall and disposed entirely in the second cavity; and an elongated member configured to receive the rolled paper product, the elongated member detachably coupled to the end portion of the first arm by a fastener extending through the elongated member, such that the elongated member rotates with the end portion of the first arm relative to the second arm.

A control is provided adjacent an overflow of a bathtub or sink. It both remotely controls operation of a basin bottom drain, and provides an option of shutting off flow through the overflow. Rotation of a handle of the control controls the bottom drain, and axial movement of the handle controls flow through the overflow. For example, a clicker-type pop-out valve can control overflow flow. Slot and projection structures restrict use of the overflow shutoff when the drain is not closed, and/or in some circumstances even when the drain is closed.

Combined control for a basin overflow and a basin drain

A consumable roller holder is disclosed that provides a pair of arms extending from an essentially centrally located mount. A spindle is coupled to one of the arms for supporting a consumable roll and one of the arms is configured to pivot between a closed position and an opened position at which the arm is self-supporting to resist rotation of the arm toward the closed position.
