Abstract: Storage container for small articles. A storage container for small articles provides a stationary upright cabinet open at the front, one or more bins received in the cabinet and tiltable between an upright closed position and a forwardly tilting open position, and a latch secured to a front wall of the bin for locking the bin in the closed upright position. The cabinet includes a vertical back wall and vertical side walls which have lower edges that are adapted to rest on a horizontal supporting surface, and a bottom wall between these lower edges and directly above the supporting surface. Each bin includes a front wall and a bottom wall joined by a curved transitional surface, which has the curvature of a right circular cylinder. This curved transitional surface rolls along the upper surface of the bottom wall of the cabinet as a bin is moved from an open position to a closed position or vice versa. This rolling motion takes the place of a structure having a fixed pivot axis for supporting a bin.

Abstract: A tire repair method includes assembling a harness having straps, a first (or outside) air bag and a first (or outside) heating pad, placing a tire having an area in need of repair so that the repair site is over the heating pad and the tires axis of rotation is parallel to the harness straps, then inserting a second (or inside) heating pad and a second (or inside) air bag on the inside of the tire, and finally putting in place a pair of complementary mandrel halves of the same size. These mandrel halves when in place overlie the repair area of the tire and the other items of equipment. Each mandrel half includes a top surface (which is placed in proximity with a tire bead), a convex outside surface which generally has the same contour as that of the inside of the tire sidewall, a flat inside surface, a bottom surface which is preferably convex, and two ends.

Abstract: A molded plastic carrier case is provided which forms an enclosure and which enclosure has ends and a bottom, and a pair of support walls positioned inside the enclosure with one support wall at each end of the enclosure, the enclosure having a front with an opening therein, and a tray, slidably supported at its ends on the support walls, and movable out through the enclosure opening. Additionally a lock bar is provided within the carrier case enclosure and is pivotal through a limited arc in a vertical plane for engaging an associated lock section formed on a rear portion of a tray slidably received within the carrier enclosure.

Abstract: An open top storage drawer having a storage compartment formed by front, back, side and bottom walls molded integrally of plastic. An undercut is formed in a lower portion of the front wall to provide a handle for slidably removing the drawer from a storage space. A pair of offset, vertically spaced U-shaped slots are formed on the front wall. The upper slot defines a window for viewing the interior of the storage compartment, and preferably supports a transparent panel to enclose the front of the drawer. A content identifying label is mounted in the lower slot in juxtaposition with a backing wall. The drawer provides both a frontal visual inspection of the drawer's contents through the window and a printed identification thereof.

Abstract: Merchandising display units having a base with one or more pairs of closely spaced cross frame members with opposed, rectangular, vertical grooves in opposing faces thereof forming a vertical socket; a flanged standard-mounting unit fitted tightly over the upper edges of the pair of cross frame members with a rectangular hole above the socket and a depending, U-shaped strap snugly fitted in the socket; and a vertical standard having a lower end of substantially rectangular overall cross section snugly seated in the socket with one pair of opposed sides of the lower end supported by the bottom walls of the grooves and the other pair of opposed sides supported by the vertical legs of the U-shaped bracket.

Abstract: A cassette or similar article storage cabinet including an open frame enclosure means including opposed sides having vertically spaced horizontally positioned support flanges. One or more flexible partition members having support flanges on opposite sidewalls thereof are removably engagable with the frame to provide support action. Different sized articles can be accepted by providing one or two parallel vertically extending partition members in the frame.
