Abstract

A wall mount towel bar assembly provides a wall mount bracket adapted to be mounted to a planar surface. A threaded shaft is supported upon the wall mount bracket for rotation relative to the wall mount bracket. A sleeve is in threaded engagement with the threaded shaft with a sleeve aperture formed therein. A bar is received for translation in the sleeve aperture. Rotation of the threaded shaft locks the bar in the sleeve to maintain a position of the bar within the sleeve.

Claims (12)

1. A wall mount bar assembly comprising:

a pair of wall mount brackets, each adapted to be mounted to a planar surface;

a pair of wall collars, each sized to attach to one of the pair of wall mount brackets with a through collar aperture formed therethrough respectively;

a pair of externally threaded shafts, each with a fastener head oriented between one of the pair of wall collars and one of the pair of wall mount brackets, and extending through a corresponding through aperture of a corresponding wall collar to rotatably connect to the corresponding wall collar for rotation relative to the corresponding wall collar;

a pair of sleeves, each with a sleeve aperture formed therethrough;

a pair of bosses, each extending from one of the pair of sleeves with a threaded aperture perpendicular to the sleeve aperture of a corresponding sleeve, and in threaded engagement with one of the pair of externally threaded shafts;

a pair of post collars, each extending from one of the pair of sleeves along an axis parallel to one of the pair of bosses respectively;

a bar received for translation in the aperture of each of the pair of sleeves; and

a pair of posts, each connected to one of the pair of threaded shafts for rotation with the corresponding threaded shaft, with a distal end extending within one of the pair of post collars, to enclose the corresponding threaded shaft from the corresponding wall collar to a corresponding sleeve respectively, whereby rotation of each post rotates the corresponding threaded shaft to lock the bar in the sleeves to maintain a position of the bar within the sleeves.

2. The wall mount bar assembly of claim 1 further comprising a pair of washers, each oriented about one of the pair of threaded shafts between each fastener head and the corresponding wall collar respectively.

3. The wall mount bar assembly of claim 1 wherein a brake aperture is formed in each of the pair of sleeves axially aligned with each threaded aperture and intersecting each sleeve aperture respectively so that rotation of each threaded aperture applies pressure from each threaded shaft upon the bar.

4. The wall mount bar assembly of claim 3 further comprising a pair of brakes, each oriented in a corresponding brake aperture in one of the pair of sleeves to distribute pressure from each threaded shaft to the bar.
