What the World Really Needs

The Defumer, "a straight forward, common sense, highly practical invention that should have happened when the bathroom came indoors." Simply stated, the Defumer exhausts bathroom odors before they become room size.

A molded pvc plastic collector assembly fits beneath the toilet seat and is fastened to the bowl by the same bolts which secure the seat and cover. It is so thin that it readily fits within the space provided by the toilet seat bumper pads. One end of the collector assembly unobtrusively extends over the bowl edge while the other end connects to a plastic hose leading to an exhaust fan.

The quiet highly efficient squirrel cage exhaust fan is powered by a 120 volt ac or optional 12 volt dc motor. The motor and fan unit and its steel housing are mounted in the wall space behind the toilet and vented through a 2" pvc pipe. Installation instructions are given for new and existing structures. Many home installers find it adequate to simply drill a 2" hole through the stud wall header and allow the exhaust air to escape into the attic where attic vents take over.

Electrical leads may be attached to either the light switch or a separate switch. A wall cover plate through (Please turn to Page 42 ) which the exhaust hose passes finishes the installation.

The optional 12 volt dc motor is offered for use in motor homes. campers, boats, and other recreation vehicles.

Factory suggested retail price at press release time is $5 9.95 for the Model 100.

A "Beautlful Beast"

The appearance and strength of Bommer Industries' newest door closing device prompted the 100-year-old company to name its new hinge the "Beautiful Beast."

The Beautiful Beast is a spring hinge with a trim shape and small barrel, but with the power needed for closing doors. Many finishes are offered to make it an even more attractive hinge.

Although the hinge has more closing power than others of its kind, it will not close too quickly because adjustable spring tension is one of its main features. It is non-handed and can be used with either left-hand or right-hand doors, which simplifies ordering and stocking. Identified as Item No. 4310, this spring hinge is available in sizes 4/2" x 4Yz" and 4/2" x 4" and is designed to align with regular butt hinges of the same size.

An economical alternative to door closers and ball bearing hinges, it is listed by Underwriters Laboratories for use on labeled fire doors in apartments, institutions, hospitals and other buildings with strict fire safety requirements.

Lav Faucet Control

A thermostatic bathroom faucet that gives you the same water temperature everytime you turn it on has been introduced by the Grohe Div. of Flygt Corp.

The product is available in two models. (l) The Grohmix concealed thermostat and (2) the Grohmix Exquisit Wideset Faucet using the Grohmix lavatory thermostat. Both models not only provide extra safety for children, but are the ultimate in convenience.

On the exquisite Wideset faucet, the Grohmix thermostat fits on the right hand side of the faucet spout. It is set to the desired temperature by the user.

A faucet valve on the left side of the spout is used to turn the water on and control the flow.

Once the thermostat is set, water will flow out at the same temperature every time the faucet is turned on. The thermostat setting can be changed at any time, even while water is flowing.

A safety button on the faucet thermostat must be depressed to move the temperature of the water above 1000F.

Another safety feature shuts off the hot water if the cold water stops flowing through the valve for any reason. This automatically protects against accidental scalds.

He blasted costly new legislation, pushed by labor, that hamstrings business; bureaucratic regulations that override the legislative intent of lawmakers; and the "do-gooders, theoreticians and anti-establishment types" who are currently displacing the previous crop of experienced lawmakers.

On the opening day of the convention, May 6, exec. v.p. Frank Davis of the AL&BSA, told local press and tv reporters that the modern woodbased home (which the association calls its "Maximum Energy Saver Home" (MESH) can save 40% or more in cooling costs.

Davis predicted that energy costs will rise 6OO% by 1985 and that the $300-$500 initial extra investment in a MESH home will soon pay for itself.

The Hon. John Conlon, (R-Az) spoke the final morning of the convention on the future of free enterprise in America. He said the only hope for the U.S. economy was to let business function without government "overcontrolling" it. A candidate for the U.S. Senate, Conlon called the upcoming election critical to the question of America becoming a coercive so ciety.

Following was a report on NLBMDA programs by Dean Drake, O'Malley Building Materials, Phoenix, who urged dealers to get involved for their own good in the various National programs available, He made a strong case for the dealer benefits to be derived.

Charles Ray, Phoenix, was elected new president for 1976-77, with Jim Barlow, lst v.p.; Bob Silvey, 2nd v.p.; Earl Heldt, treasurer; John Entz, asst. treasurer; and Frank Davis re-elected to his post as executive vice president.

According to its sponsor, Senator Moss (D-Utah), "the legislation is designed to make the market place regulate itself. ...manufacturers will be forced to compete- to provide a better product at a lower cost."

From a business point of view, the legislation probably represents another phase of the progressive and oppressive bureaucratic controls which erode the very foundations of business enterprise under the guise of benign concern and welfarism.
