Abstract: A retaining device for refrigerator shelves, particularly for use in boats, trailers, and other moving vehicles. The device is made of spring wire for the purpose of exerting outward pressure at the lower ends. The lower ends have specially designed double U-shaped clips formed therein, the U-shape being tapered to accommodate variable shelf wire sizes. The clip is also offset from the main wire body so that when force is applied to the main body wire the grip of the clip on the shelf is increased.

Abstract: A collapsible plant support is provided having a plurality of elongated wire-rod legs which are rigidly secured together at one end. Several helically-wound wire springs of normally elongated configuration are also provided with each spring having the opposite ends adapted to be interconnected and thus form circular rings. These rings are positioned at vertically spaced elevations on the legs which are relatively divergent from their connected ends when the plant support is positioned upright on the ground. Each of the elongated legs is formed with longitudinally spaced notches into which the circularly configured wire springs are positioned and supported on the divergent legs having their free end portions inserted into the ground. Collapsing of the plant support for storage is readily accomplished by first pulling the legs from the ground thereby releasing the rings. The rings are then disconnected at their ends whereupon they again assume the relaxed, elongated configuration.

Abstract: A device for sanitary pickup of ground deposited excrement comprises a metal frame structure having an excrement engaging pickup portion and a conventional bag supporting portion. Said bag holding portion positively retains a conventional shopping bag on the holding portion in a manner to hold the mouth of the bag open for ready reception of the said excrement together with additional structure supported by the handle for quick and easy release of said bag from positive retention on the support portion. Additional covers are also provided for the excrement engaging portion of the device to increase the usefulness of said device.
