Abstract: A masking fixture for coating dishware includes a support base having a first ferromagnetic member and a contoured support surface configured for engagement with a lower contour of the dishware. A mask base includes a second ferromagnetic member. The second ferromagnetic member is magnetically attracted to the first ferromagnetic member. The mask base includes a mask guide. A mask includes a masking surface configured for engagement with the upper contour. The mask is moveably coupled to the mask guide for movement between an engaged position in which the masking surface is engageable with the upper contour and a disengaged position. The mask can be moved to the disengaged position to facilitate removal of the mask base from the dishware after a coating operation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a microwavable heating element and thermal storage composition for the controlled storage and release of thermal energy to a thermal mass. The microwavable heating element can be used in conjunction with a warming trivet. One disclosed warming trivet includes a housing, a heating element arranged within the housing and made of a matrix material and a microwave susceptor suspended within the matrix material, and an insulation layer disposed between the heating element and the housing, the insulation layer being configured to insulate the housing from thermal energy emitted by the heating element.

Abstract: A storage container assembly comprises a storage receptacle and a removable lid. The storage receptacle has a base and a continuous sidewall connected to the base. The sidewall projects upward from the base to a peripheral edge. The removable lid has a rigid central cover portion and a flexible seal portion that traverses a perimeter of the rigid central portion. The flexible seal portion has a release tab disposed along its periphery, and a pocket disposed inward of the release tab. The flexible seal portion further has a ledge disposed generally at the periphery of the flexible seal portion. The ledge contacts the peripheral edge of the storage receptacle. The flexible seal portion further has and a blade portion disposed below the ledge. The blade portion contacts the side wall of the storage receptacle and forms a generally fluid-tight seal with the sidewall.

Abstract: A system for exhibiting a sample of a product. The system comprises a rail and a display unit. The rail extends from a first end to a second end, and includes at least one display unit engaging portion. The display unit can be removably mounted on the rail, and has a display surface, formed on the front of the display unit, on which the sample of the product can be mounted. The display unit also has at least one rail engaging portion, the at least one rail engaging portion being removably engagable with the at least one display unit engaging portion. The display unit can be removably mounted on the rail directly at a predetermined location between the first end and the second end of the rail through a snap-fit connection between the at least one rail engaging portion and the at least one display unit engaging portion.

Abstract: A gate latch includes a bracket that has flanges with a plurality of holes for receiving fasteners that enable the bracket to be mounted to a bracket mounting surface. The bracket has a raised portion joined with the flanges and cooperates with the bracket mounting surface to define a space therebetween. The latch also includes a latch arm having an end portion thereof pivotally joined with the raised portion and capable of limited pivotal movement relative to the bracket. The latch arm is received in the space between the raised portion and the mounting surface when the bracket is secured to the mounting surface. The latch further includes a catch to be mounted to a catch mounting surface adjacent to the bracket and the latch arm. The catch includes a latch arm receiving region and a movable lock.

Abstract: A door handle assembly comprises a handle mount having an opening therethrough and a manually engageable handle rotatable about an axis, the axis aligned with the opening positioning structure is fixed relative to the handle mount. The positioning structure has a plurality of locking regions defined by locking surfaces, the locking regions being spaced at predefined distances from the axis. A pair of mounting studs, are adapted to extend through an associated pair of apertures in a door. The mounting studs have lock surfaces that are engageable with the spaced locking surfaces of the positioning structure to enable the elongated mounting studs to be selectively fixed relative to the positioning structure at desired predetermined distances from the axis.
