| 20100170034 | Retractable shower expander assembly - A shower curtain support system for a shower stall or tub enclosure is disclosed, comprising a support guide member having a center holding portion and two opposing ends, two holders, and an attached shower curtain. The support guide member is selectively adjustable in the middle. The two holders are fixedly attached to the two surrounding opposing end walls, directly abutting a shower stall or tub enclosure, and are usably adjoined, one on each end, to the support guide member. Each holder comprises a roller bracket having an appendage with rollers and spacers attached to the roller bracket by fasteners, and which appendage projects through the access opening into the shower stall or tub enclosure. The rollers and spacers contact and communicate with the hollow interior and slots on each of the two opposing ends of the support guide member. Retainers prevent the support guide member from disengaging the holder. The support guide member is rotatably movable, by means of the rollers and spacers contacting and communicating with the hollow interior and slots on each of the perpendicular ends of the support guide member, between a first extended position and a second retracted position. In the first position the support guide member, with an attached shower curtain, is extended out at the top, and the bottom of the shower curtain remains inside the tub, angularly, creating a maximum amount of increased space inside a shower stall or tub enclosure, near the top of the shower curtain, for the users upper torso and arm movements, along the entire length of a shower stall or tub enclosure. In the second position the support guide member is retracted, to conserve space outside of a shower stall or tub enclosure, with the shower curtain hanging straight within the access opening. An alternate embodiment of the roller brackets allows for the shower curtain support system to be mounted on the walls inside of a shower stall or tub enclosure, so as to retrofit and replace an existing straight or stationary curved shower rod. | 07-08-2010 |

| 20110031256 | Can Shell and Double-Seamed Can End - A drawn aluminum can shell has a peripheral crown which is double-seamed with an end portion of an aluminum can body to provide a can end having a generally flat center panel connected by an inclined curved or straight panel wall to an inclined inner wall of an annular U-shaped countersink. The countersink has an outer wall which connects with an inclined lower wall portion of a chuckwall at a junction below the center panel, and the chuckwall has a curved or inclined upper wall portion which connects with an inner wall of the crown. The chuckwall also has an intermediate wall portion forming a break, and the inner bottom width of the countersink is less than the radial width of the panel wall. The inclined upper wall portion of the chuckwall extends at an angle greater than the angle of the inclined lower wall portion of the chuckwall. | 02-10-2011 |
