Abstract: A saddle rack having a pair of mutually inclined seat panels which are pivotally supported by a base structure or stand including of a pair of leg assemblies for clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation. The panels are self-adjusting preferably within a substantially 20.degree. rotational range in a first use or saddle storage mode so as to automatically conform the underside of any saddle positioned thereon. In one embodiment, at least one removable end adapter panel is reversibly positionable on the leg assemblies beneath the seat panels so as to permit the seat panels to rotate inwardly to form a right angled support surface for supporting a saddle in an upside down position during a second use or saddle maintenance position mode. Also the seat panels can be held stationary in a coplanar position in a third use mode by an inversion of the adapter panel to provide a flat table-like work surface for tack and the like equipment.

Abstract: A mounting bracket for use to install a shelving accessory such as a drawer, a roll frame or a flipper door, into an office shelving unit comprising two opposite pairs of posts forming together a supporting frame structure. The bracket comprises an elongated plate provided at both ends with two U-shaped end portions. One of these end portions is provided with holes, whereas the other end portion is provided with slots which extend over part of the outer wall and part of the bottom wall of the U-shape. These U-shaped portions and the presence of slots in one of them make it possible to install the mounting bracket in a retrofit manner between one of the sets of posts in which bolts are previously inserted at a required height.

Abstract: A display device having a front cartridge section against which objects can be stacked, one against the other, in a first line; first and second strips each wound about itself to define first and second coils with first and second axes; structure for connecting the strips to the front cartridge section so that the axes of the coils are transverse to the first line; and a rear cartridge section having first and second legs which are extendable at least partially through the first and second coils. By moving the rear cartridge section away from the front cartridge section in the first line with the first and second legs extended into the first and second coils, the legs cause the first and second coils to unwind, whereby a force is developed on the first and second strips tending to draw the front and rear cartridge sections towards each other so that an article to be displayed can be resiliently captured in a display position between the front and rear cartridge sections.

Abstract: A stackable and nestable rack construction formed essentially of wire material so as to be capable of use in displaying articles, or for storing personal items, on a select stack of the racks. The racks are capable of being nested in groups, to facilitate their storage, transfer, and display, and then assembled or erected into a stackable configuration, for usage. The racks may accommodate slides, incorporating runners, upon which a wire or other material basket may be accommodated, to add variety to the manner of storage that may be undertaken through usage of this invention. A base member incorporating rollers, may be connectable onto the bottom of the assembly, to add to the maneuverability of the racks, when laddened with stored articles.

Abstract: A ski holder for the temporary, theft-proof storage of skis comprises a vertical guide post (1) erected in a suitable manner, to which a ski-holding device (10) is attached so that it is infinitely adjustable. The ski-holding device (10) comprises a coin-operated locking device (4), whereof the bolt secures the skis (12) stored.

Abstract: A multiple carriage rack assembly is described wherein storage load supporting carriages are employed of consistent widthwise dimension. This consistent width is achieved through the utilization of a rolling suspension of the carriages on two rails which is designed such that the forwardly disposed wheels of one carriage ride upon a wheel receiving surface of a next forwardly adjacent carriage, while the rearward wheels of all carriages ride only upon the two rails. By providing rearwardly disposed, downwardly depending rear wheel support components of incrementally increasing lengths, the storage surfaces of the carriages remain mutually parallel and the carriages readily are nested at the front accessing and placement position within any given bay. The structure also permits the employment of a substantial number of carriages within a given bay of a warehousing racking facility.

Abstract: A pallet rack has carts which can nest and un-nest while running on the same sets of rails.

Abstract: An add-on shelf for athletic or school lockers having hinged first and second planar shelf members. The edge of the first shelf member is hingedly affixed along the length of the second shelf member, the precise hinge point being adjustable to accommodate differing width lockers. Tabs on the first shelf member engage slots on the second shelf member to form the hinge. A plurality of slots are provided along the second shelf member to facilitate the above-noted width adjustment. Releasable latch means lock the shelf members is fixed planar orientation. Rubber abutment feet are provided along the outside edges of the shelf members to engage the locker walls. The shelf is installed by forming an obtuse angle between the shelf members, placing the shelf assembly into the locker, then, forcing the angle open until the shelf members are in the 180 degree planar locked position.

Abstract: The fixing device includes parallel slides 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d constituted by double folds of flexible thin curtains disposed opposite one another. Each slide is made up of two lips 2a, 3a, 2b, 3b, 2c and 3c which are able to receive cards 14a, 14b and 14c by sliding. Between the sldies 1a and 1b, the curtain has an arced shape and bears tie rods 6 so that any traction applied to these tie rods 6 flattens the arc-shaped section of the curtain 1, thus pushing back the lip 2a towards the lip 3a and the lip 2b towards the lip 3b. Thus, clamping of the cards 14a and 14b is respectively obtained in the slides 1a and 1b.The invention is applicable to the fixing of printed cards in housings, particularly on board space and aeronautical vehicles.

Abstract: A device for holding a stack of forms in a manner such that the first form in the stack is in contact with a first surface of one side of the holding device as each form is removed therefrom. In particular, the device comprises a front portion, side portions, a rear portion, a bottom portion and a top open portion to allow insertion of the forms. The front portion is fixed and is made of transparent material. The stack of forms is positioned in the enclosure between a moveable plate and the front portion of the device, the rear portion extending inwardly from the top toward the bottom portion of the device. After the forms are positioned between the front member and the moveable plate member, force exerting means are positioned between the rear portion of the device and the moveable plate member.
