Abstract: A customizable potted plant watering apparatus is made up of a variety of interconnecting parts to form one or more separate elongate trays which are arrange in any fashion but generally one above the next. Each linear or radial tray section is adapted for supporting one or more potted plants. Trays are interconnected by flexible tubes so that when water is introduced into an upper tray it flows downwardly into subsequent lower trays. Trays are inexpensively fabricated by an extrusion process and when attached at both ends to end sections, form a finished shelf into which water may be introduced so as to hydrate and feed the plants by root absorption. The end sections are held in place by a snap on cover which also engages a screen to provide an effective watering tray and a clog free system.

Abstract: A spring-loaded hoist mountable vertically on a wall is provided for use particularly in mounting a heavy television receiver to a wall and raising it to an elevated position. The hoist includes a fixed housing which is attached permanently to the vertical wall of a room and is formed with a vertical guide channel. A movable carriage is mounted within the housing for vertical reciprocation along the guide channel and is urged upwardly by means of a constant force spring reel assembly mounted in the top of the housing and connected to the carriage. The carriage includes a locking mechanism adapted to engage the housing for locking the carriage in a lowered position and also includes a connecting member adapted to engage a cooperating connecting member of a television by means of which the carriage, when unlocked and supporting a television, may be raised or lowered with little physical effort.
