Abstract: A shelter is formed by joining a resilient sleeping pad at its edges to a thin, flexible, waterproof, vapor-breathable shell. The sleeping pad, being the floor of the shelter, eliminates material otherwise used for this purpose. An opening in the shell for the user's face, is edged with a sleeve containing a drawstring for closing the opening to the extent desired. A zippered separation in the shell extends from the opening, to provide easy access into the shelter. A canopy, attached to the shelter, is supported above a user by long, resilient wands attached to the canopy material. Various embodiments are disclosed for combining a canopy with the basic shelter, for supporting the canopy above the user, and for providing entry into the resulting shelter.
Abstract: A knockdown storage bin shelving system having horizontal crossbars joined to vertical posts to provide a spacial interstices that form shelves for storage bins. The front and back horizontal crossbars are connected by slide rails and the horizontal crossbars and slide rails form load bearing shelves on which the storage bins are stored. The horizontal crossbars are placed at a height providing an opening in which storage bins are placed. The horizontal crossbars are placed through holes in the interior vertical posts and are connected to the outer vertical posts. The vertical posts have the largest diameter, the horizontal crossbars are smaller in diameter than the vertical posts, and the slide rails are smaller in diameter than the horizontal crossbars. The slide rails are rigidly connected to the horizontal crossbars. The horizontal crossbars are placed through holes in the interior posts until they are stopped by a dimple. The dimple insures precise placement of the interior post.
