Patent number: 10408531Abstract: Rack systems, devices, and methods for attaching and providing foldable storage racks underneath refrigerator shelves or cabinets or other shelves for suspending, storing and separating wine bottles and beverage cans and plates. The storage racks can include a plurality of bail cradles each having ends pivotally attached to brackets. The bail cradles can have concave support surfaces for supporting and separating bottles and cans. The bail cradles can have ribbed upper surfaces for allowing a shelf/tray to slide thereon. The racks can have pivotal vertical legs with a slide out drawer on lower ends of the legs. The racks can be used for storing other items such as computer keyboards and the like, used with desks, tables, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2019Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Inventor: Ronald Beck

Publication number: 20120315001Abstract: A fiber optic connector assembly includes a ferrule and a hub. The ferrule has a distal end and a proximal end, wherein the proximal end of the ferrule is mounted to the hub. The ferrule defines a fiber passage that extends through the ferrule from the proximal end to the distal end. Adhesive is injected through the distal end of the ferrule into the fiber passage. An optical fiber and the fiber optic connector are, then, assembled by inserting the optical fiber into the adhesive filled fiber passage of the fiber optic connector.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2012Publication date: December 13, 2012Applicant: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventor: Ronald A.
