In order to provide a structure for removable attachment to a substantially vertical surface for example of glass, glazed tiles or metal, the structure has a mounting means comprising: suction means (1) for sealingly contacting a surface, pulling means (2) being attached to the suction means (1) for drawing a part of the suction means (1) away from the surface, so that a partial vacuum is created between the suction means (1) and the surface. There is a substantially helical or wedge shaped surface on the pulling means (2) engaged with a corresponding substantially helical or wedge shaped surface of a rotatable member (13), whereby rotation of the rotatable member (13) draws the pulling means (2) and respective part of the suction means (1) away from the surface. An intermediate member (5) is provided for engaging a sealing part of the suction means (1), the intermediate member (5) supporting the rotatable member (13). The structure comprises a structural member (10) mounted in or on the intermediate member (5), so that the structural member (10) is not gripped by the intermediate member (5) or rotatable member (13). At least part of the rotatable member extends beyond a part of the intermediate member which is adjacent to the rotatable member. There is a friction reducing member (11) between the rotatable member and the intermediate member. A clip means, possibly also acting as a friction reducing member (11), can be provided for holding the structural member 18 temporarily in position on the intermediate member 5 during assembly |

An adjustable height rod support provides vertical support to rods, such as clothes closet rods, shower curtain rods, towel racks, etc. An embodiment of the rod support includes a housing, a spring, an insert, and a cradle. The spring and insert fit into the housing. The cradle is mounted on the insert. The apparatus is placed under the rod to provide vertical support. When the cradle receives the rod, the spring compresses commensurate with the weight of the rod and any items on the rod. The adjustable height rod support supports the weight of the rod and any items on the rod, thereby relieving stress on the rod itself, as well as the walls, brackets, etc., used to mount rod. The apparatus uses no mounting hardware for installation so it can be installed easily, without tools or fasteners. The apparatus is adjustable to various heights. The apparatus is light weight and thus portable. |

An assembly is disclosed for mounting articles such as soap dishes, towel hangers, handles, and the like, to a recessed stud that lies behind a non-structural wall, such as the side wall of a pre-fabricated fiberglass bathroom shower. A fascia plate has a mounting surface on one side, and a cup-shaped portion on the other side. The cup has an internal thread that engages an external thread of an elongated stud. The elongated stud has an axial through hole for receiving a screw that has a screwhead and a threaded shaft. The screw is inserted into the through hole of the stud, and then inserted into a hole formed in the non-structural wall and screwed into the recessed stud. The cup portion of the fascia plate is then inserted into the hole in the non-structural wall and screwed onto the external thread of the elongated stud. As such, the mounting surface of the fascia plate is rigidly supported by the recessed stud for mounting the articles thereto. Further, the fascia plate obscures the hole in the non-structural wall from view. |
