Abstract: A shelving system is provided which includes a polygonal shelf assembly, shelf supporting assemblies and post. The polygonal shelf assembly includes at least three bracket receiving sections. At least three shelf supporting assemblies are provided for supporting the polygonal shelf assembly. At least three posts are provided for releasably coupling to the at least three shelf supporting assemblies for supporting a polygonal shelf assembly. Each of the shelf supporting assemblies includes a collar and a support bracket. The support brackets have a shelf receiving section. When assembled, each of the collars are frictionally coupled to the at least three posts and each of the support brackets are frictionally engaged to the collars. The at least three bracket receiving sections of the polygonal shelf assemblies are then releasably coupled to the shelf receiving sections of the support brackets to form a shelving system that may be easily assembled and disassembled.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved environmental strip curtain system which allows for easy installation, removal, replacement and adjustment of the plastic strips. The environmental strip curtain system includes a curtain-holding apparatus and a plurality of flexible, transparent strips. The curtain-holding apparatus includes a bar which can be mounted above an opening and a plurality of pegs spaced equidistance from each other. Each peg includes a leg extending substantially perpendicularly from said bar, and a foot spaced from the bar and mounted to the leg so that each foot is substantially perpendicular to the leg. The strips have multiple holes near the top of each strip which are spaced the same distance from each other as the distance between the pegs. Thus, the strips may be removably suspended from the curtain-holding apparatus to create a barrier over the opening.

Abstract: Two conductive mating halves of a connector hood include facing inserts of resilient conductive materials. A cable, having shielding conductive braid or foil exposed on a surface thereof is contacted in passing between the inserts. A low-resistance electrical path is provided between the shielding and the conductive connector hood by a resilient conductive material for resisting escape of radio-frequency interference from the connector hood. In one embodiment of the invention, a foam material with parallel embedded metallic wires is employed for the resilient conductive material. The wires are preferably oriented for conduction between the connector hood and the shield braid or foil on the cable with substantially no conductive paths parallel to the axis of the cable. Facing, metallic spring-type strain-relief devices in the connector hood provide strain relief as well as enhance the resistance to radiation of radio-frequency interference.

Abstract: A computer work station for use with a computer system includes two sections, a front section and a rear section, pivotably connected about an exterior pivot axis. The rear section includes shelves for supporting some components of the computer system, such as the CPU, display monitor, keyboard and modem. A keyboard shelf is slidably disposed within the rear section, while other shelves are fixedly mounted therewithin. A common power strip is disposed between two of the shelves of the rear section for providing a single connection of at least some of the components of the computer system to an exterior power source. The front section includes a front panel which extends substantially the entire height of the computer work station, and includes a cork strip for posting memoranda and the like thereon. The front section further includes shelves for supporting other components of the computer system, such as a printer and its associated box of paper.

Abstract: A hood for an electrical connector employs a pair of identical body porti which are mated together to grasp the electrical connector and to provide strain relief to the exiting conductors. Strain relief is provided by a resilient or flexible strain relief tab extending angularly inward from an inner surface of each of the body portions. The strain relief tabs have sufficient resilience to permit outward deflection thereof as necessary to handle a substantial range of cable or wire bundle diameters. An optional bifurcated tip on the strain relief tab doubles the contact lines with a small cable and improves the ability of the tip to conform to the shape of a small cable or wire bundle. Ridges on the strain relief tab engage the surface of a large cable or wire bundle. The ridges may be sawteeth which are angled to resist outward forces on the cable or wire bundle. Exit channels are provided for cable exit either axially or in either of two transverse directions.

Abstract: A computer terminal support includes two vertical posts about which respective pivoting collars are free to pivot. Each pivoting collar is affixed to a swivel arm. A terminal support tray is affixed to an outer end of the outer one of the two swivel arms to thereby provide a substantial coverage area over which the computer terminal may be disposed. A vertical adjustment of the position of the outer pivoting collar on the outer vertical post is provided in order to permit adjustment of the vertical position of the display screen of the display device of the computer terminal. A horizontal pivot and a vertical pivot are provided for rotation of the computer terminal and its associated display screen of the display device in order to permit angular adjustment of the display screen anywhere within the coverage area for avoiding interference from glare.
