Abstract: A shelf includes a shelf support plate, an insulator formed at least partially of a first electrically insulating material, a first fastener, a second fastener and a shelf brace. The shelf support plate, the first fastener, the second fastener, and the shelf brace are formed at least partially of electrically conductive material. The shelf support plate includes a first aperture wall. The insulator includes second and third aperture walls. The shelf brace includes a brace plate, a shelf hook that extends from the brace plate, and a fourth aperture wall through the shelf brace. The insulator mounts between the shelf support plate and the shelf brace using the first fastener inserted into the first and second aperture walls and the second fastener inserted into the fourth and third aperture walls. The shelf hook connects to an electrical connector to provide current to the shelf brace.

Abstract: A liner hanger includes a body wall, a first hook wall, a second hook wall, a brace wall, and an abutment wall. The body wall includes a first face and a second face. The second face is on an opposite side of the body wall relative to the first face. The first hook wall is mounted to the first face of the body wall to form a first hook channel. The second hook wall is mounted to the second face of the body wall to form a second hook channel. The brace wall includes a first end and a second end. The second end is on an opposite end of the brace wall relative to the first end. The first end is mounted to the first face of the body wall. The abutment wall is mounted to the second end of the brace wall.

Abstract: A shelf electrical signal connector is provided that includes a ladder connector and a shelf connector. The ladder connector mounts to a ladder of a shelving system and includes a spring-loaded contact pin formed of an electrically conductive material and electrically connected to a first wire configured to carry an electrical signal. The shelf connector mounts to a shelf bracket and includes a contact pad formed of an electrically conductive material that is connected to a second wire. The contact pad abuts and rests on the spring-loaded contact pin to electrically connect the first wire to the second wire when the shelf bracket is mounted to the ladder of the shelving system.

Abstract: A shelf light assembly is provided that includes a trim configured to mount to a shelf, a light assembly including a plurality of lights, a first end cap housing, and a second end cap housing. The light assembly is mounted to the trim. The first end cap housing is mounted to the trim on a first side of the light assembly. The second end cap housing is mounted to the trim on a second side of the light assembly. The first side is opposite the second side. The first end cap housing is attached to the first side of the light assembly. An expansion gap is located between the second end cap housing and the second side of the light assembly to support movement of the light assembly relative to the second end cap housing longitudinally along the trim.

Abstract: The invention is directed to storage containers and lids for storage containers which provide for a secure closure and a storage container which is airtight and leakproof. The lid includes a generally U-shaped closure made of a plastic material for securing to a container base; a center window also made of a plastic material and preferably the same as the U-shaped closure; and a thermoplastic material which provides for a sealing gasket on the underside of the U-shaped closure for mating with the container base and a perimeter seal on the outside of the U-shaped closure and around the outer circumference of the center window. The lid may further include a gripping tab made at least in part of thermoplastic material in the lid corner for opening or closing the container, and wings made of a thermoplastic material in one or more portions or corners of the lid.

Abstract: A material trimmer for trimming sheet material having a blade slidingly engageable with the sheet material along a cutline and an indicator indicative of the approximate location of the cutline. The indicator provides for ready and correct orientation of the sheet material within the material trimmer. In one set of embodiments, the blade is attached to a carriage or trolley adapted for sliding translation along a portion of a guide. The guide is operatively connected to a base. The indicator is disposed in relation to a slot provided in the guide overlaying the sheet material orientated on the base. The indicator may comprise a cord operatively connected to the guide. The tension of the indicator is maintained or adjusted through manipulation of one or more tensioners operatively connected to the guide.
