Abstract: A nestable crate for bottles having an upright retainer wall surrounding a horizontally disposed floor. The retainer wall has an upper portion, a lower portion, a vertically disposed interior surface and an exterior surface. A plurality of tangency pads are integrally formed in the upper portion of the retainer wall of its interior surface. A nesting window is formed in the interior surface of the retainer wall below each tangency pad. The crate accommodates both single bottles placed in the crate separated as well as bottle-filled cartons.

Abstract: The system includes a plurality of flood plains. Each flood plain contains a plurality of plants and each plant is held in a pot. The flood plains are excavated at different elevations from an upper most elevation to a lower most elevation. The flood plains are sequentially flooded for a resident time period with a selected volume of water directed from a water source. As the flood plains are excavated to different elevations, gravity, and a series of flood gates, control the water flow from one flood plain to a next lower flood plain. Each flood plain has a top surface and an underlying bed comprising a soil and clay composition. The surface of each bed is contoured to adequately drain water from one flood plain to the next. This clay mixture firms the bed to adequately support vehicles and laborers to prevent depressions in the bed which may adversely affect water flow in and out of a flood plain. Each of the flood plains is lined with a water impermeable membrane.

Abstract: A retainer for holding eyeglasses that includes a retainer ring rotatably mounted to the clamping means. The clamping means includes a first clamp member pivotally attached to a second clamp member, and a means for biasing together a first end of each of the clamp members. A mounting element is attached to the retainer ring in a spaced relation to the clamping means. The retainer ring is rotatable about a longitudinal axis of the mounting element.

Abstract: A bakery tray having a substantially rectangular floor has a retainer wall extending along a periphery of the floor. The retainer wall includes a front wall opposing a rear wall, and a first side wall opposing a second side wall. Two feet are spaced apart horizontally on the first side wall, and two feet are horizontally spaced apart on the second side wall. A first pair of nesting pockets are disposed along the exterior surface of the first side wall above the feet on the same wall; and a second pair of nesting pockets are disposed along an interior surface of the second side wall above the feet on the same wall. When bakery trays of a like configuration are stacked, the feet on the first side wall of a top tray seat within the nesting pockets on the second side wall, and the feet on the second side wall seat within the first nesting pockets on the first side wall of a bottom tray.

Abstract: A washer has an extension integrally attached to the washer. The extension is scored tangential the washer and extends across the width of the extension. Notches are formed in the extension so the extension tapers inward. The extension is detached from the washer by bending the extension back and forth lateral of washer, and until detached from the washer.

Abstract: The present invention is for a recreational water vessel that may by operated driven by a manually operated propeller and drive system or it may be driven by wind under sail. The vessel includes two boards mounted to a main frame. Each board has a concave shaped bottom surface and an inner side surface that is vertically disposed with respect to the surface of the water. The drive system operates two propellers simultaneously and/or independently. A key mechanism may be biased between a position to operate the propeller simultaneously and independently. The vessel has a mast that is mounted toward the rear or stern of the main frame. A boom is mounted forward of a seat. A sail has a top mounted to the mast and a clew mounted to the boom. The sail is triangular such that a fold extends from the boom to the mast forming two halves of the sail.
