Abstract: A display rack or stock cart including a base structure, a pair of spaced posts upstanding from the base structure, and a plurality of shelves supported on the posts in vertically spaced relation. A series of pins are provided on the posts for selective coaction with a series of notches on the shelves to allow each shelf to be mounted on the posts in a first generally horizontal position, or a second downwardly inclined position, or a third generally vertically downwardly extending nesting position. The shelves are moveable between their various positions by simple pivoting and sliding movement of the shelves relative to the posts and the shelves in their downwardly extending position allow nesting the plurality of display racks.

Abstract: A multi-level rack assembly comprising a plurality of base members each including a generally rectangular platform portion and an upstanding tubular portion at each corner of the platform portion having a plug dividing the interior thereof into upper and lower tubular volumes; a plurality of side support members each including a pair of spaced upstanding tubular portions and truss means interconnecting the tubular portions; and a plurality of core rod means sized to fit slidably within the tubular portions of the base members and of the side support members. In one embodiment, the core rods are elongated and unitary and have a length somewhat greater than the length of the side support member tubular portions so that the core rods may extend vertically within the side support member tubular portions and seat at their lower ends in the upper tubular volumes of the tubular portions of a lower base member and seat at their upper ends in the lower tubular volumes of the tubular portions of an upper base member.

Abstract: A platform hand truck having a molded thermoplastic deck cover with an integrally molded bumper extending about the periphery of a metal deck. An interchangeable handle is disclosed that may be attached to either the pivot end of the turning end of the truck.

Abstract: A method and machine adapted to removed baked waffles from a succession of waffle irons on a feed conveyor, trim the waffles so removed into a regular peripheral configuration, and transfer those waffles in succession onto a transfer conveyor. The feed conveyor is adapted to convey a series of successive waffle irons, with baked waffles thereon, from an oven to a transfer location. A vacuum head of novel structure is provided at the transfer location to move cyclically in a machine direction of the feed conveyor between an upstream and a downstream location, the vacuum head being raised and lowered during that limited motion path to pick up waffles by vacuum from successive waffle irons without stopping the conveyor. The vacuum head is also movable in the cross machine direction of the feed conveyor between the feed conveyor and a transfer conveyor.
