The upright also has at least one second segment with a pair of opposed ends, at least one of which being configured to connect end-to-end with the lower end of the first segment. A clip has a pair of opposed ends each configured to connect to the lower end of the first segment and to the one end of the at least one second segment to hang the second segment from the first segment.

Abstract: A shelf mounting bracket has a bracket body with a forward end, a rear end, an upper side, and a lower side. One or more connectors extend from the rear end for mounting the bracket to a support. At least one forward shelf support is provided near the forward end and faces in the direction of the upper side of the bracket body. At least one rear shelf support is provided near the rear end and faces in the direction of the upper side of the bracket body. A locking clip is carried near the rear end of the bracket body. The clip is slidable between a locked position such that a portion of the locking clip is positioned vertically over and spaced from the rear shelf support, and an unlocked position providing vertical clearance to the rear shelf support.

Abstract: A versatile organizer system and merchandizing method for same includes a base organizer unit package marketed and sold separately from a plurality of accessory and upgrade packages, each being mountable to the organizer system. The base package has a horizontal top rail assembly that is width adjustable, a plurality of vertical upright segments that are configurable to achieve a plurality of upright heights and that are mountable to the horizontal top rail assembly, a plurality of mounting brackets mountable to the vertical upright segments, and a plurality of shelves mountable on the mounting brackets and configurable to achieve a plurality of shelf widths. The accessory packages are each separately packaged from the base organizer unit package and from one another. Each accessory package includes at least one accessory for upgrading the organizer system and includes the hardware necessary to install the at least one accessory on the organizer system.

Abstract: A portable picnic table is disclosed. The picnic table can be configured from a setup configuration to a portable configuration by detachment of the benches from the table, folding the bench supports and the table supports, and attaching the benches to the table, while both are in the folded configuration. Alternately, the benches can remain attached to the table, and the picnic table can be configured from a setup configuration to a portable configuration by simultaneously folding the bench supports and table supports so that the benches and the table lie in one plane.

Abstract: A roof support with an integral gutter including a roof support, a panel joint cover, and a gutter for a small storage or utility building or shed having a shallow-pitched roof. In particular, the roof support with integral gutter includes a support web, an exposure surface perpendicularly bisecting the support web, and a collector perpendicularly bisecting the support web opposite the exposure surface. The roof support with integral gutter is made by the pultrusion process, which eliminates the need for additional and separate components to provide rigidity and strength to the roof support.

Abstract: Modular shelving with at least one cabinet that includes a plurality of shelves and vertical risers which serve to space the shelves and support loads placed thereon. Cabinet side wall, back wall and door panels are installed about the risers, with each component having a pair of spaced apart holes adapted to slide over the risers. The holes preferably have a diameter just slightly less than the smallest diameter portion of the risers over which the panels will be placed, and are surrounded by one or more radial slots which allow the material around the hole to flex and accommodate larger diameter portions of the risers with an interference fit. The interference fit eliminates the need for precise hole size manufacturing and provides an additional advantage of holding the cabinet doors in a position selected by the consumer.

Abstract: A container is disclosed that is adapted to interconnect with like containers. The container has a connecting device disposed on a side wall. The connecting device is adapted to removably connect with a portion of an adjacent container. Once connected, one of the containers can be pulled which in turn pulls the other container along.

Abstract: An adjustable pliers wrench including a fixture having a handle and an opposing stationary jaw, a co-acting jaw pivoted to the fixture and a lever pivoted to the co-acting jaw. A guide is attached proximate the handle and a locking element is arranged on the guide for reciprocal and canting movement. At least one attached biasing element urges the locking element toward the stationary jaw. An arm is pivoted to the lever and a cam is pivoted to the arm and to the locking element so as to be movable between a first condition permitting the locking element to reciprocate along the guide and a second condition bearing against the guide and canting the locking element into frictional engagement against the guide.

Abstract: A jewelry organizer (10) includes a housing preferably formed on interconnected housing portions (11, 12). The front of the organizer (10) is provided with an assembly of bins (70) which, when released by a release mechanism (25) open to provide access to the contents of the bins (70). Side doors (53) are hingedly attached to one housing portion (12) and have a hook (60) thereon to carry hangable items of jewelry. A rear open compartment (42) likewise has hooks (51, 52) to carry similar items of jewelry. Like the bins (70), a top compartment (63) having a pivotal cover (64) can also carry smaller items of jewelry.

Abstract: A container shown in the form of a lunchbox (10) includes a base container portion (11) and a cover portion (12).
