Abstract: A reusable, multi-purpose collection bin for waste collection, particularly at special events requiring waste collection such as concerts, festivals, sporting events, and any other outdoor or indoor event where trash collection is desired. The bin easily contracts simply by pulling upward on the top panels through the grasping holes on the top of the bin.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to cable trays for carrying cables. In one such embodiment, a cable tray made of wire material is disclosed with a number of lateral U-bent wires and longitudinal wires fastened thereto. The U-bent wires form a bottom and a first and a second side wall for the cable tray, where the bottom is narrower than the side walls are high, as such the cables may be placed stacked one above another in the cable tray. The first side wall is made with a wavy shape with wave troughs placed close to or in contact with the second side wall and wave crests between the wave troughs. The wave-shaped first side wall forms, together with the second side wall, spaces for receiving cables.

Abstract: A chip washing basket and a method for its use. The chip washing basket can hold casino chips and can provide a maximum amount of surface area for the chips to enable the basket to be utilized in an ultrasonic cleaner. The ultrasonic cleaner can operate while the chips are present in the basket, thereby cleaning the chips. The basket can have a plurality of vertical slots that the chips can be dropped into. The basket would have a plurality of vertical bars and a plurality of divider panels to secure the chips while exposing a large amount of surface area on the chips so the ultrasonic action inside the ultrasonic cleaner can clean the chips effectively.

Abstract: A liquid receptacle made of a wire frame and a disposable and biodegradable material that is substantially impervious to water. The liquid receptacle is capable of being expanded and collapsed for ease of transportation and storage. For ease of use, the liquid receptacle is shaped with a flat bottom allowing it to stand without support, and equipped with a flap surrounding a top opening of the receptacle. For ease of transportation after use, a cord is supplied around the flap for closing the top opening of the liquid receptacle.

Abstract: A backseamed casing has a casing film comprising a first outer layer and a second outer layer, the first outer layer containing a polyamide having a melting point of from about 250.degree.-400.degree. F., and the second outer layer containing a polyamide having a melting point of from about 250.degree.-400.degree. F. A butt-sealed backseamed casing has a casing film to which a butt-seal tape film is sealed, the casing film having an inside layer containing a polyamide having a melting point of from about 250.degree.-480.degree. F., and an outside layer comprising polyolefin, with the butt-seal tape film comprising polyolefin. A heat-shrinkable film has a first outer layer, a second outer layer, and an inner layer. The first outer layer contains a first polyamide having a melting point of from about 250.degree.-400.degree. F.; and the second outer layer contains a second polyamide having a melting point of from about 250.degree.-480.degree. F.

Abstract: A beverage can carrier and storage device formed of a wire form structure having an upper and lower channel, each with a vertically disposed entrance wherein the upper portion of each channel is bent at an approximately 45-degree angle to the vertically disposed lower portion of each channel for cans to pass through such entrance and down the angular portions of each channel to the vertical portion of the channels and in a first embodiment to be caught by cross members within the bottom portion of the structure for storage and carrying of the cans, and in a second embodiment without cross members at the bottom of the channels to allow the cans passing therethrough to fall into and be contained within a storage container disposed therebelow.

Abstract: A structurally simple combination wine bottle carrier and rack includes three wire frames interconnected to define a skeletal, rectangular body with an open top end and partitions for receiving wine bottles, and a pair of U-shaped handles pivotally connected to the ends of the body for rotation of at least one of the handles through an arc in excess of 270.degree. between an abutting carrier position above the center of the body and a rack position in which the handles extend outwardly from the top ends of the body for supporting the latter in a position in which the open top end thereof defines an acute angle with the horizontal for supporting bottles in an inclined position.

Abstract: A portable receptacle capable of securely and orderly receiving returnable beverage containers for storage and transport is disclosed. The receptacle includes a frame structure definitive of at least one module that is sized to receive a plurality of returnable cans and/or bottles. The module has an outwardly facing open end to facilitate insertion of containers therein, and an at least partially sealed end opposed thereto for positioning the containers. Orienting means are provided for angling containers positioned within the module downwardly from the open end to the at least partially sealed end such that any residue fluid retained within the containers remains therein and such that the containers remain within the receptacle when in transport.

Abstract: A wire container for returnable beverage cans is disclosed. The wire container of the present invention is formed by joining together a plurality of spaced apart horizontal rectangular wire frame members utilizing a plurality of upright rods abutting the frame members around the periphery thereof. A bottom member is hinged to the lower most frame member and is biased to a closed position by a torsion spring. The wire container is divided into a plurality of equal compartments by a plurality of equally spaced divider members extending transversely between opposed sides of the frame members.
