  • Publication number: 20140091510
    Abstract: An apparatus for holding fastening hardware in place on a workpiece having an arrangement of through-holes. The apparatus includes a body having a first surface and a second surface on opposite sides of the body. The first surface has at least one projection extending from the first surface and a recess configured to hold the fastening hardware, with the recess being open to the first surface. A brace extends from the second surface of the body and is configured to hold the first surface in an installation position relative to the workpiece. The at least one projection is inserted in a first hole of the arrangement of through-holes when the first surface is in the installation position. The fastening hardware is held by the recess in a position to receive a complementary fastener through a second hole of the arrangement of through-holes when the first surface is in the installation position.

  • Patent number: 7959017
    Abstract: A bin system includes a plurality of bins arranged in stacks, wherein each of the bins in a stack includes a first element which interlocks with a second element in a lower bin in a stack of bins. The interlock holds the upper bin in a defined position on the lower bin. The first element includes a projection and the second element includes a lateral recess in a side wall of the bin. The system further includes two cross beams for supporting the stacks of bins, wherein the first element of the lowermost bin of a stack of bins is received between the two cross beams. The first element may comprise at least one additional projection arranged to engage an inner side of the side wall for additional support. The interlock between the first and second elements provides a self stacking function in that the interlock retains the upper bin on the lower bin.

  • Patent number: 7882969
    Abstract: A display system for product stored in bins includes a first track member which can be fixed to an elongate support member, and a second track member which can be fixed to the first track member in a selected one of a plurality of relative positions to form a track having a height dimension which is dependent on the relative position selected. A plurality of product holders can be secured side-by-side in the track, the relative position of the track members being selected dependent on the height dimension of the product holders. A plurality of bins can be arranged side-by-side on shelves adjacent to the track, the elongate support member preferably being fixed to the distal end of a cantilever beam.

  • Patent number: 7350648
    Abstract: A modular display system comprises a plurality of identical modules. Each module includes a vertical mounting surface, a pair of sidewalls, top surface and a bottom surface lying in planes which extend at right angles to the mounting surface. A pair of top rails lie above the top plane and form outward facing channels. A pair of bottom rails extend inward from respective sidewalls just above the bottom plane, each bottom rail engaging in a respective channel when two modules are assembled one above the other. The inner surfaces of at least one of the top rails and the bottom rails converge toward the top or bottom plane at an acute angle so that the inner surfaces of the top rails are received against the inner surfaces of the bottom rails in a press fit. The modules are latched in this position by a detent and shoulder arrangement.
