Abstract: A bearing and detent mechanism for automatic alignment of a Lazy Susan Turntable or shelf to an original position or door closed position is provided which includes a bearing mounted to the Lazy Susan Turntable and a cabinet shelf with a cavity on the outer bearing having an entrance and exit ramp and wherein the bottom of the exit and entrance ramp represents the detent or stop location of the Lazy Susan Turntable. The bearing and detent mechanism allows for the Lazy Susan Turntable to smoothly stop where it needs to so as to keep products on the shelf in a stable and upright position.

Abstract: A hanger rod for supporting clothes hangers, wherein an elongated rod including a slot extends along the upper longitudinal surface of the elongated rod; at least one hanger rail mounted within the slot at least at one predetermined position therein and in noncontacting relationship with the surface of the elongated rod; and at least one hanger supported on the hanger rail to prevent substantial contact of the hanger with the surface of the hanger rod, thereby reducing the frictional engagement between the at least one hanger and the surface of the hanger rod. The elongated rod may include a lighting fixture mounted therein and emitting light at least from both end portions of the elongated rod and/or from a slot extending along the bottom of the elongated rod.

Abstract: An appliance garage with a front panel having left and right side frame members supported in spaced relation by a front panel member extending between the top portions of the left and right side frame members; each of the right and left side frame members including an angled projection extending away from the front of the front panel; a tambour door connected at each respective front side thereof to a respective right and left side frame member; left and right side panel members each having a channel extending substantially the length of the front edge portion and to engage the respective projection of the left and right side frame member so that the side panels extend angled from the tambour door.

Abstract: A combined molding cap and molding strip with the molding strip having opposed attachment surfaces extending along a longitudinal axis, a plurality of beaded ridges extending along one attachment surface of the molding strip, and a plurality of fluted channels extending along the opposed attachment surface of the molding strip. The molding cap has a surface including at least one of complementary fluted channels and beaded ridges for respectively engaging the beaded ridges and fluted channels of the molding strip.

Abstract: A combined molding cap and molding strip wherein a molding strip having opposed attachment surfaces extends along the longitudinal axis thereof; a plurality of beaded ridges extends along one attachment surface of the molding strip and a plurality of fluted channels extends along the opposed attachment surface of the molding strip; and at least one molding cap having a surface including at least one of complementary fluted channels and beaded ridges for respectively engaging the beaded ridges and fluted channels of the molding strip so that the at least one molding cap is in closely abutting relationship with the molding strip at a desired location along the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A floor covering member with a bottom and a top cover surface for covering sub-flooring a first end portion extending between the top cover surface and the bottom surface, and having a blind attachment surface extending outwardly from the bottom surface and through which at least one fastening member is driven; the blind attachment surface having an end face; a step portion having an upper surface parallel to the top cover surface and extending upwardly from the blind attachment surface at a distance inwardly from the end face; a first edge portion extending from the top cover surface and forming a vertical wall extending downwardly from the top cover surface; a groove formed between the vertical wall and the upper surface of the step portion; a second end portion spaced between the top cover surface and the bottom surface and including a cove having an upper surface formed in the second end portion opposite the blind attachment surface; a tongue having a vertically stepped lower surface joining the upper sur

Abstract: In a tambour door opening/closing apparatus, a tambour door is moved along a longitudinal axis between open and closed positions under restraint of a frame guiding opposed sides of the door. A constant spring is mounted to the tambour door and has a section thereof extending generally along the longitudinal axis to assist in moving the tambour door between the opened and closed positions. A fixed rod is mounted between the frames guiding both sides of the door and a spool is rotatably mounted on the rod with the spring being coiled around the spool and the exposed end of the constant spring is attached to the tambour door. A track assembly is mounted on each side of the frame for guiding the movement of the tambour door and includes a substantially straight portion extending substantially the length of the opening and a loop portion with a coiled track for forming coils of the tambour door.
