  • Publication number: 20170050761
    Abstract: The multiple cleat bin of the present invention includes a base, a front wall, two opposing sidewalls, and a substantially vertical rear wall having an upper rim. The rear wall includes a cleat near the upper rim of the rear wall and a second cleat formed at the base of the rear wall. A third cleat formed in the rear wall may also be included. A fourth cleat formed in the rear wall may also be included. Preferably, a forewall and kick out wall are included to form a stacking space such that a second may be placed within bin for increased packing density for shipping or storage. The additional cleats provide additional strength for bins manufactured of more economical or recycled polymers that tend to be softer or less rigid. The use of multiple cleats allows for improved strength and flexibility in use.

  • Publication number: 20160229588
    Abstract: The support clip for industrial bins includes at least one support on the clip and can be used to increase the hanging load of an industrial bin when hung. The supports may be in the form of ledges or cleats. The multi-support clip provides additional hanging strength for existing bins or allows flexibility to use bins manufactured of more economical or recycled polymers that tend to be softer or less rigid. The additional supports on the clip may also allow the bin to be hung in a sloped forward configuration. The use of multi-support clips allow for improved bin strength when hung and flexibility for placement and use of bins already in service. The support clip is manufactured by a process of metal extrusion, metal stamping, or metal die casting or polymer extrusion, thermoforming, injection molding, blow molding, and rotocasting.

  • Patent number: 8256193
    Abstract: A pet pad storage system having an open frame body having a bottom wall and four sidewalls extending upwards therefrom. One pair of sidewalls, opposite each other, terminates slightly before a centerline that runs across their length; hence, no sidewall extends upwards at a center portion of the bottom layer for two of the four edges. A length of strip runs across the inside edge at a top of the remaining pair of sidewalls. In this manner, a stack of sheets can be laid across the interior portion of the frame body. Two perforated edges run across a length of the bottom wall where the sidewalls terminate. A third perforated edge runs across the centerline between the other two. The outer sidewalls of the frame are pulled upwards towards one another to fold the frame member closed. The sheet is rollably folded therein so that the storage system can stand upright in a closet space.

  • Patent number: 6206232
    Abstract: An article dispenser is disclosed for dispensing articles, such as pieces of candy, out a dispensing opening in the dispenser. Articles are stored in a storage chamber inside the dispenser. An inclined flipper plate forms the bottom of storage chamber. A flipper arm is positioned near the bottom edge of flipper plate. An actuator is included for vibrating the flipper plate and flipper arms causing the articles to slide down the flipper plate onto the flipper arms where they are flipped up onto a dispensing slide located above the storage chamber. Articles flipped up onto the dispensing slide are dispensed out of the dispenser through the dispensing opening.
