Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A hardware assembly is provided with a base for mounting to a support surface, the base having a longitudinal axis. A receiving member extends outwardly from the base along the longitudinal axis, the receiving member having an aperture. A hardware component is mounted to the receiving member in a plane that includes the longitudinal axis. According to at least one embodiment, an accessory may be removably received within the receiving member aperture.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A hardware assembly, comprising: first and second bases each having a first surface and an opposed planar second surface, the first surface for contacting a support surface, the first and second surfaces having substantially similar areas, the first and second bases having first and second longitudinal axes, respectively, the first longitudinal axis transecting the first and second surfaces of the first base, and the second longitudinal axis transecting the first and second surfaces of the second base; first and second planar rings each having an outer edge directly contacting the planar second surfaces of the first and second bases along the first and second longitudinal axes, respectively, the first and second planar rings each having an aperture formed about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; and a hardware component mounted to the first and second planar rings in a plane that includes the first and second longitudinal axes. 2. The hardware assembly of claim 1 , wherein the hardware component comprises a towel bar. 3. The hardware assembly of claim 1 , wherein the aperture is curvilinear. 4. The hardware assembly of claim 1 , wherein the hardware component comprises a tissue holder. 5. The hardware assembly of claim 1 , wherein the hardware component comprises a towel ring.
