Appl. No.:

9/395271

Inventors:

Robert L. Wheeler - Monrovia CA

Assignee:

Acorn Engineering Co., - City of Industry CA

International Classification:

E03D 1100

US Classification:

4254

Abstract:

A toilet seat cover assembly for use as a combination toilet seat cover and auxiliary bathroom seat with self-positioning, retractable backrest. The assembly includes a cover which is hinged to either the toilet or a housing structure positioned on either side of the toilet. A backrest having a base portion and an adjoining upright portion is hinged to the cover at the base portion such that when the cover is raised from a closed position to an open position, the backrest pivots with the cover until it contacts a stopper. At such point, and as the cover is continuously raised, the stopper urges the backrest to hinge separately from the cover and to retract in a compact manner.

Appl. No.:

7/809333

Inventors:

Robert A. Wheeler - Glendora CA

International Classification:

B05C 1100

US Classification:

118504

Abstract:

A pliable, resilient retaining means integrated with an area to be masked in an architectural structure, extending over and substantially covering a channel about the perimeter of the area. The retaining means is attached to the channel wall proximate the area to be masked and is inwardly displaceable, allowing for the insertion and retention of non-adhesive paper or plastic masking material. The resilience of the retaining means urges it from its displaced position outward towards the channel wall distal the area to be masked where it frictionally engages the masking sheet between the end of the retaining means and the channel wall. Placement of the masking sheet is accomplished by stuffing the edges of the sheet into the channel by running a tool along the perimeter of the channel structure, displacing the retaining means inwardly both substantially parallel and at an angle to the channel walls. The resilience of the retaining means causes it to close behind the tool, engaging the masking material and storing any excess material within the channel. After use, the material is removed and the retaining means remains in place for future applications.
