Abstract: A shelf partition has a front panel and an adjustable length side panel with first and second portions. The second portion is slidably connected with the first portion to adjust the length of the side panel between an expanded position in which the second portion overlaps some of the first portion and a retracted position in which the second portion overlaps more of the first portion. The first portion projects rearwardly from the front panel. The first portion and the second portion have opposite forward and rearward edges. The first portion forward edge is adjacent the front panel. The second portion forward edge is closer to the front panel than the second portion rearward edge. The first portion top peripheral edge has a region tapering toward the first portion rearward edge. The second portion top peripheral edge has a region tapering toward the second portion forward edge.

Abstract: The variable length baking equipment divider is an invention geared towards maximizing existing baking equipment versatility. The invention is an apparatus used to divide existing cooking equipment into isolated areas to substantially reduce fluid or physical contact for preparing one or more types of food at once. Features of the apparatus are a housing component with a triangular structure; one or more arm components which attach to the housing component. The one or more arm components are configured to expand and retract from the housing component. The base of the housing component and a base of the one or more arm components are effectively in a same horizontal plane so cooking equipment may be effectively partitioned.

Abstract: An extrusion is provided that may be used in the construction of a framework assembly and that is lighter, stronger and less expensive than previously available extrusions. In various aspects, the extrusion generally has four sides and is quadrangular in cross-section. A web member may extend the inside of the cross-section of the extrusion between two of the sides. The web member thus may bisect the interior of extrusion forming a first interior cavity and a second interior cavity. The first and second cavities may be equally dimensioned in cross-section. The extrusion may be a metal extrusion formed from aluminum and/or steel.

Abstract: Described herein is a skid for transporting and storing pallets. The pallets may be loaded with any cargo but in one example are loaded with drilling mud or its components.
