Abstract
A grab bar assembly includes a post having a recess that receives a grab bar. The post includes a flange having a plurality of first openings arranged in a circular pattern. Each first opening receives a respective fastener therein for fastening the post to a fixed structure. An escutcheon has a second opening therein. The escutcheon is rotatable about the post such that each of the first openings of the flange is accessible through the second opening at a respective rotational position of the escutcheon.
Claims20
An accessory mounting assembly comprising:
- a post having a recess configured to receive an accessory, the post including a flange having at least one first opening, the at least one first opening for receiving a respective fastener therein for fastening the post to a fixed structure;
- and
- an escutcheon having a second opening therein, the escutcheon being rotatable about the post such that the at least one first opening of the flange is accessible through the second opening at a respective rotational position of the escutcheon.
A grab bar assembly comprising:
- a post having a recess configured to receive a grab bar, the post including:
- a body;
- a flange extending from a periphery of the body and having at least one first opening, the at least one first opening for receiving a respective fastener therein for fastening the post to a fixed structure;
- and
- a protrusion attached to at least one of the body and the flange;
- and
- an escutcheon having a second opening therein, the escutcheon being rotatable about the post such that the at least one first opening of the flange is accessible through the second opening at a respective rotational position of the escutcheon, at one said rotational position of the escutcheon, the second opening receiving the protrusion therein to thereby inhibit further rotation of the escutcheon.
A grab bar assembly comprising:
- a grab bar;
- a post having a recess configured to receive an end of the grab bar, the post including a flange having a plurality of first openings disposed equidistant from a longitudinal axis of the post, each said first opening being for receiving a respective fastener therein for fastening the post to a fixed structure;
- and
- an escutcheon having a central through-hole through which the post extends, the escutcheon having a second opening therein, the escutcheon being rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the post such that each of the first openings of the post is exposed through the second opening at a respective rotational position of the escutcheon.
