  • Patent number: 7650933
    Abstract: A baffle for a heat exchanger tube extending between opposed header pipes. The baffle is a longitudinal member with a concave underside shape conforming to the convex circumferential shape of the heat exchanger tube, and has a length substantially equal to the distance between the header pipes. A lip having a convex top side shape conforming to the concave underside shape of the longitudinal member extends along one longitudinal edge of the member. Two such members can be nested together by overlaying the non-lipped longitudinal edge of a one member atop the lipped longitudinal edge of the other member. A plurality of longitudinally aligned heat vent slits extend substantially the entire length of an uppermost portion of the member.

  • Patent number: 7165497
    Abstract: The invention provides longitudinally extending track support and track members for a mobile storage unit. The track support's upper surface has at least one protrusion which projects above and extends longitudinally along that upper surface. A mating recess extends within and along the track member's under surface. The recess and protrusion are sized and shaped for loose-fit longitudinal engagement of the protrusion within the recess when the track member is laid atop the track support. This permits limited transverse movement of the track member with respect to the track support, reducing susceptibility of the mobile storage unit's wheels to derailment if a transverse force is applied to mobile storage unit as it rolls along the track.

  • Patent number: 5082388
    Abstract: Apparatus for securing a hooked member to a post after engagement of the hooked member with the post. The hooked member has vertically aligned upper and lower hooks. A deformable locking tab is formed atop the lower hook, beneath a recessed web portion of the hooked member. The locking tab has top, rear and front edges. A locking arm projects forwardly from the front edge. A first notch is cut in the top edge; and, a second notch is cut in the recessed web portion, adjacent the first notch. A levering implement such as a screwdriver can be fitted between the notches and used to pry the locking tab away from the locked position if it is desired to remove the hooked member from the post.
