Abstract: A tray which includes a floor member having openings formed therein for the passage of sterilization material. A plurality of upright flexible brackets are anchored to the floor and a lid is pivotally connected to the brackets in a manner which allows the lid to be frictionally retained in various positions relative to the underlying floor and brackets.

Abstract: An instrument bracket, primarily for holding medical instrumentation, having a clip part which is mountable to a plate and a holder part. The plate may form a part of a sterilization tray or similar container. The clip part is of an inverted U-shaped configuration having spaced upwardly projecting legs. The clip part fits about the holder part which is flexible and shape retaining and which includes a recess to accommodate the instrumentation. The clip part compresses and retains the holder part and is secured to the plate.

Abstract: A releasable rail locking device for a tubular fence comprises first and second substantially identical elongate flexible legs joined at a predetermined angle to define a generally V-shaped flexibe bow-like portion elastically deformable to a predetermined range of angles about this predetermined angle. The legs terminate in respective oppositely oriented outwardly extending gripping portions for releasably grippingly engaging a wall of a tubular fence rail member about aligned through apertures therein. Each of the gripping portions comprises a body portion extending from the associated leg and an enlarged head portion extending from the body portion to define a shoulder therewith. Both the head portion and body portions as well as the bow-like portion are sized to extend the heads and bodies through the through apertures in the tubular fence rail wall while maintaining the bow-like portion in a partially compressed condition, at an angle somewhat less than the predetermined angle.

Abstract: A spoked wheel and method for assembling the same in which formed sheet metal spokes are disposed between the rim and hub and are attached to each by portions on the spoke which are bent over and crimped on the side portions of the rim and the hub bushing. The ends of the rim are held together by one of the spokes, which is crimped over the junction of the rim ends, thus requiring no riveting or welding of the rim ends. A semi-pneumatic tire is mounted on the rim and assists in holding the crimped portions of the spoke in place on the rim. The wheel bearings are press fitted into the hub bushing and secure the crimped ends of the spokes in place on the hub. In the method of making the spoked wheel, the rim is bent into an annular shape and the rim ends are brought into close proximity. One spoke is secured to the rim at the junction point of the rim ends and holds the ends in that position.
