Abstract: Multi-use tool tables configured to support table tools and allow selective rotation of the table tools between an upright position and an inverted position are described in the present application. The multi-use tool tables include: one or more rotatable plates having a first surface for receiving a first tool and a second opposing surface for receiving a second tool, a perimeter edge of the one or more rotatable plates being attached to a rotatable shaft; a column with a first attached to a support mechanism and a second attached to a sleeve, the sleeve being configured to receive the rotatable shaft; and a stop mechanism configured to selectively resist movement of the rotatable shaft within the sleeve. The one or more rotatable plates are rotatable between a first surface upright/second surface inverted position and a second surface upright/first surface inverted position.

Abstract: An outdoor cooking vessel apparatus enables a user to selectively fry, boil or steam food items by reconfiguring the apparatus. The apparatus employs a cooking vessel having a bottom wall, side wall, an open top and a vessel interior. A basket is sized and shaped to fit the vessel interior. The basket having a bottom with an inner surface and an outer surface. A skewer rack is connectable to the basket bottom panel. The rack is connectable to the bottom panel inner surface for skewering the food items to be cooked in the basket interior when the basket occupies the vessel interior. The rack is connectable to the basket bottom outer surface wherein the skewer rack supports the basket in an elevated position above the cooking vessel bottom. The basket enables items to be cooked within the basket when the basket occupies the vessel interior and wherein the skewer rack is not connected to the basket such as when frying large items (for example, turkey).

Abstract: A shelf clamp for connecting a rack unit to a display shelf has a flat body with a clasp extending from the top end of the flat body, a support lip extending from the mid-section of the flat body, and a front fin extending diagonally upward from the front face of the flat body, wherein the front fin is comprised of flexible material such that the front fin can flex towards the flat body. The bottom end of the shelf clamp is fashioned to slide down between an edge of the shelf and a wall, causing the front fin to flex upward toward the flat body as it presses between the shelf and the wall, and then return to its diagonally upward position once it passes the shelf. Thereby, the shelf clamp engages the edge of the shelf and the support rib and the front fin.

A plurality of height stabilizing members are connected to two or more of the straight wires or the outer wire, such that the plane is disposed above a surface upon which bottom portions of the height stabilizing members rest. A plurality of upstanding members extend from the plane, the upstanding members each connected to one or more of the straight wires and the outer wire, the upstanding members each comprising an arched portion and an upstanding stick, wherein a second plane is disposed through the arched portion of each upstanding member is at an acute angle with a line parallel to the straight wires.

Abstract: A stand for a surfboard includes an upper member and a lower member. The upper member is comprised of at least two members. The lower member is comprised of a first distal end and a second distal end. The upper member is connected with the lower member at the first distal end of the lower member.

Abstract: A shoe storage shelf assembly is suitable for mounting to an organizer system and has at least one storage shelf with a top side, an underside, a depth from front to back, and a width from side to side. The shelf is configured for use as a standard storage shelf in an organizer system. The assembly also has a pair of shelf support brackets each with a body having a rear end and an upward facing shelf support surface. The support surface is forwardly and downwardly inclined and has an upturned stop at a distal forward end. Connectors extend rearward from the rear end of the brackets and are configured to connect to uprights in an organizer system. The shelf can be inverted such that its top side rests on the shelf support surfaces with its front borne against the upturned stops.

Abstract: A new jerky hanging rack for facilitating the curing of meat strips which have been seasoned with a preferred recipe of ingredients by supporting the meat strips a finite distance apart allowing aeration of the meat strips until cured. The inventive device includes a rack structure formed into an elongated U-shaped structure with a first upper member and a second upper member secured to the cornice of the rack structure in opposition to one another, where the upper members include a plurality of skewer slots which receive a plurality of skewer members.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for increasing the efficiency of gathering cut tobacco stalks, particularly burley tobacco stalks. The apparatus includes a metal tobacco stick being of a length sufficient so that the stick can be pushed into the ground with a portion thereof remaining above ground for supporting a plurality of cut tobacco stalks which are to be impaled thereon. A spear tip is provided and adapted to be fitted to the end of the tobacco stick above the ground. The spear tip also provides a worker with a means for grasping and pushing the tobacco stick into the ground. The spear tip has a cross-sectional area which is greater than that of the tobacco stick but generally less than that of the cut tobacco stalks so that the stalks can be threaded onto the stick by forcing the stalk onto the spear tip and subsequently sliding the stalk down onto the tobacco stick.

Abstract: A skewer device for barbecue cooking foods such as shish-kabob. The skewer device has a rod to which the food is attached and a pair of support members slidably retained on the rod at opposite ends of the food arrangement. The support members are ring-like in the preferred embodiment and elevate the food above the cooking surface. The support members loosely fit on the skewer so they may be tilted to frictionally engage the rod to secure the food and lock the members relative to the rod.

Abstract: A multi-purpose baking and roasting rack which includes a drip pan and a plurality of upwardly directed generally vertically oriented skewer rods positioned above the interior surface of the drip pan each adapted to support and pierce a food item to be baked or roasted. The skewer rods each form part of a skewer assembly which are mounted on the drip pan, with associated or cooperating skewer assemblies being arranged and substantially orthogonal planes and include indentations therein at the points where the skewer assemblies cross to stabilize the skewer rods in relation to each other, thereby providing a generally rigid construction when assembled for use which facilitates the reliable and safe use of the rack.

The device has an angular carrier member with a first arm pivotally mounting a hanger bracket which is adapted to be supported on a rail system by means of rollers. A second arm extends in a substantially upright orientation, at least in its used position, and releasably supports, at vertically spaced positions, a plurality of rods for supporting goods to be conveyed. Each of the rods extends through a bore in the second arm to be lockably retained in the bore by one of its end portions, and it is constructed so that, when it is extracted from the bore, the end portion is extracted first. Each of the bores extends substantially parallel to the first arm.
