Abstract: A cabinet and a kit for retrofitting a cabinet are disclosed. The cabinet includes a stationary box, at least one moveable wing attached to the stationary box and configured to open and close relative to the stationary box. The at least one moveable wing includes at least one of a door hinged to the stationary box or a drawer mounted via slide actuators to the stationary box. The cabinet also includes a reed switch attached to the stationary box, a magnet attached to the at least one moveable wing, and at least one light emitting diode (LED) fixture installed within the stationary box. Opening the at least one wing separates the reed switch from the magnet and permits current to flow to the at least one LED fixture to illuminate at least an interior portion of the stationary box.

Abstract: An extruded housing using a single polymeric material to form an opaque body portion that defines an open channel, a light transmitting lens portion, and a hinge portion joining the body portion to the lens portion to form a unitary body. The hinge portion allows the lens portion to pivot relative to the body portion between an open position, where the channel is open, and a closed position, wherein the lens closes the open channel. The extruded housing is designed to form part of a light emitting diode light fixture, where the housing accepts a strip or plurality of LEDs within the channel for emission of light through the lens portion.

Abstract: A portable storage and transportation cart that is easy to assemble, disassemble, and reassemble, and a kit for constructing same. The cart includes a plurality of elongated hollow frame members having substantially uniform outer profiles and at least one series of incrementally spaced transverse holes along their length. The frame members may have various lengths. The cart also may include a plurality of three-way couplings, a plurality of unions, a plurality of cylindrical shelf tubes, a plurality of casters, and a plurality of wheel adapters. The various components of the cart or a portion thereof are configured and suited for non-permanent assembly together in a variety of combinations and configurations to form various portable utility and transportation carts.

Abstract: A drawer construction that may be quickly assembled without tools or separate hardware, including opposed side walls having a drawer bottom support and retainers for receiving and holding down opposed front and rear walls, and a drawer bottom.

Abstract: A guide rail for rear-mounted drawer slide assemblies of the type attached to the rear wall of cabinets, having an elongated side wall with front and rear ends, a front mounting surface parallel to the side wall for mounting to a drawer cabinet front wall, and an extension member with a radially outwardly extending tongue for connecting the guide rail to a cabinet rear wall by inserting the extension member and tongue through the rear of the cabinet.

Abstract: A mounting bracket for the side rails of rear-mounted drawer slide assemblies, including a base, spaced apart side walls, and substantially rigid L-shaped retainers attached to each side wall. The L-shaped retainers each have a horizontal portion and a vertical portion, where the vertical portion terminates with a gripping edge that is spaced from the front surface of the bracket base for frictionally receiving and laterally adjusting a side rail tongue portion.

Abstract: A cabinet door or doors are each hingedly mounted to the slide brackets of a pair of slide track assemblies which, in turn, are secured to a side wall of a cabinet. A pair of inelastic cables of substantially the same length connect the upper and lower slide brackets in a prescribed configuration to prevent skewing of the slide brackets at all times. One of the cables extends rearwardly from the upper bracket across an upper rear pulley, downwardly and forwardly around a lower front pulley and back into the lower bracket. The other cable follows the opposite path from the upper bracket forwardly around an upper front pulley, downwardly and rearwardly around a lower rear pulley, and forwardly into the lower bracket. Because the cables are of equal length, they insure that vertical alignment is maintained.

Abstract: A system for organization, inventory control, and reordering of hardware items or the like. The system includes a rack to organize cartoned hardware items for easy access. End panels attached to each side of the rack displays the complete line of hardware available. Each carton includes a label attached to the carton's face. The label includes one portion that displays indica representing the particular item, e.g. a drawing of the hardware type, a description of the contents, and quantity. Each label also has a detachable perforated portion which may be peeled off from the carton and has a reusable pressure-sensitive backing. Order forms related to the labels of each hardware carton are also provided. Thus, when a carton is low, the user simply removes the perforated portion of the label from the face of the carton and affixes it to the order form to complete the order.

Abstract: A connecting device for connecting two panels, particularly furniture panels, together in a preliminary position. A casing of the connecting device has an overall cylindrical shape. The casing is capable of receiving a bolt head through an enlarged opening into a hollow interior. A portion of an exterior circumferential side wall has a slot which is opened to only one side. The enlarged opening has an elastic narrowing section in which the width of the opening is less than the largest diameter of the bolt head.
