A handheld showerhead assembly including a handheld showerhead and a receiver to which the handheld showerhead is releasably securable. The handheld showerhead includes a push-button on a handle portion thereof for releasing the handheld showerhead from the receiver. The handheld showerhead is maintained securely engaged with the receiver until the push-button is depressed to permit removal of the handheld showerhead from the receiver. Cooperating magnetic components attract the handheld showerhead to the receiver.

A water dispensing assembly including a handheld dispenser, a receiver mountable to an outlet pipe, a coupling mechanism for releasably coupling the handheld dispenser with the receiver. The coupling mechanism can include a male component adapted to be received in a female component, and a retention flange adapted to engage the receiver to assist in retaining the dispenser in a coupled state.

Handheld shower assembly

A water leak detection system including a leak detector and a wall bracket with an integral or removable remote probe that can be positioned remotely from the leak detector. The leak detector is configured to electrically couple with the remote probe when mechanically coupled with the wall bracket, requiring no further user interaction to activate the probe. The wall bracket can include multiple remote probes that each electrically couple with the leak detector when the leak detector is mechanically coupled to the wall bracket, any one of the remote probes capable of triggering the leak detector when a leak occurs.

A handheld shower assembly including a handheld showerhead, a receiver mountable to an outlet pipe, a coupling mechanism for releasably coupling the handheld shower with the receiver. The coupling mechanism can include a male component adapted to be received in a female component, and a retention flange adapted to engage the receiver to assist in retaining the showerhead in a coupled state.

A system for mounting a frame (e.g., a mirror frame) allows the frame to be easily installed, securely mounted and readily replaced without damaging the mounting surface (e.g., the surrounding wall or mirror) or the frame. No tools are required to mount or unmount the frame. The mounting hardware is concealed within the frame.

Grab bar

An elevated toilet seat that includes integral flanges or wings that allow for attachment of one or more external apparatus. The toilet seat is removably attachable to the upper surface of a toilet bowl via a bracket. The seat is snap-fit to the bracket for easy installation and removal.

An arrester includes a housing having an inner bore, and a substantially cylindrical varistor body is received in the inner bore of the housing. The varistor body is formed of at least one varistor element having a lateral outer surface and a length defined between first and second ends of the varistor body, and a first mating element extending outwardly from the outer surface and along substantially the entire length of the body. A substantially rigid first support member is received in the inner bore and is disposed on the outer surface of the body. The first support member has a first mating surface that corresponds to and engages the first mating element of the body, thereby coupling the body and the first support member.

Reinforced arrester housing

An electrical device includes a housing with first and second portions. Each of the first and second portions has a first insulative layer and a second conductive layer. The first and second layers define an inner cavity. The second portion has opposing first and second lateral sides with the first layer defining a first thickness at the first lateral side and a second thickness at the second lateral side. An electrically conductive member is received within the inner cavity in the first portion. At least one electrical component is received within the inner cavity at the second portion. A weak section is defined by the first thickness at the first lateral side being substantially less than the second thickness at the second lateral side diametrically opposite it at given points along a longitudinal axis of the second portion.

Arrester housing with weak section

An electrical connector including a housing with an inner bore, a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The second end has an opening that provides access to the inner bore. A piston is received within the inner bore of the housing and includes a first sleeve and a second sleeve, the first and second sleeves being coaxial and slidably engaged in a telescoping arrangement. The first and second sleeves are movable between a retracted position and an extended position by sliding the first and second sleeves with respect to one another within the inner bore of the housing. A contact element is disposed on the second sleeve and movable with it between first and second axially spaced positions within the inner bore.

An insulator in the form of suspension insulator or pin type insulator has an elongated load sustaining body with a plurality of weathersheds extending radially relative to the longitudinal axis of the body on the outer surface of the body. The body and weathersheds are unitarily formed as one piece of rigid dielectric plastic polymer which are molded together. Clevis and eye coupling means are provided on the ends of the body to facilitate connection to support structures and high voltage lines.

Solid polymer insulators with eye and clevis ends

An electrical device has a housing with an internal cavity lined with insulating material. An electrical component is mounted in the cavity between the opposite ends of the housing. An electrically conductive probe is mounted in the cavity at one housing end. An end connector is mounted in the cavity at another housing end. The electrical component is electrically connected to the end connector and to the probe. The electrical component connection to the probe includes wedge insert engaging the component inner end and engaging an inner surface of the lining of insulating material to form a seal between them. Gas generated by the electrical component will not flow past the wedge insert in the direction of the probe.

An electrical insulator for supporting an electrical conductor includes a load sustaining molded core, a mounting on the core, an dielectric sheath, and a metal cap. The molded core is formed of a dielectric polymer with opposite longitudinal ends and a profiled lateral outer surface between the ends. The dielectric outer sheath overlies the core outer surface and has a weathershed extending laterally outwardly relative to the core. A metal cap is secured to one end of the core by the metal cap having a portion directly molded to the core. The mounting is located on the end of the core opposite the metal cap.

Polymer insulators with metal caps

An electrical insulator in the form of a pintype insulator has a load sustaining mechanical core and a dielectric sheath overlying the mechanical core to protect the mechanical core from the weather. The mechanical core is constructed of a load sustaining dielectric material which is different from the dielectric material of the sheath. The mechanical core has a profiled outer surface with a top groove, two side grooves, an annular rib and an axially extending threaded bore. The dielectric sheath is applied over the mechanical core as thin as practical to minimize the amount of sheath material being used. However, the dielectrical sheath is molded on the mechanical core to form a pair of weathersheds which can either extend radially outwardly therefrom or substantially downwardly therefrom in the form of vertical sheds.
