  • Patent number: 10123617
    Abstract: An apparatus that can be used to hold varying weights contains a planar body, a plurality of support beams, a first beam receiving channel, and a second beam receiving channel. When in use, items are stored upon a load bearing surface of the planar body. The plurality of support beams is slidably positioned in between the first beam receiving channel and the second beam receiving channel. Depending on the weight of the items, the user can adjust the number of the plurality of support beams being utilized. When the items are stored, the weight of the items are evenly distributed among the plurality of support beams. Since the plurality of support beams is positioned opposite to the load bearing surface, the items can be stored with no interference.

  • Patent number: 6193100
    Abstract: A tilting container apparatus includes a container and a leg pivotally mounted to the container for movement between a raised position and a lowered position. The leg supports the container in a tilted position when the leg is in the lowered position. A gas spring is connected between the container and the pivotal leg to dampen the movement of the pivotal leg as it moves downward from its raised position toward its lowered position. After the tiltable leg swings downward to a position approximately 90° to the horizontal base of the container, the gas spring functions to extend the movement of the tiltable leg toward its fully extended position and to hold the tiltable leg in its fully extended position.

  • Patent number: 5695079
    Abstract: A device for hanging a workpiece such as a bicycle is described. The device includes a hanger assembly having a roll pin, a neck, and a hook that is received by a lug attached to some part of the wire deck and preferably to a joist. The hanger assembly is pivotally received by the lug. The lug having a face placed away from the joist receives the hanger assembly about the roll pin. A biasing member such as a spring is placed to bias the neck toward the face of the lug. The face of the lug is provided with detents which lock the hanger assembly in a raised or lowered position. In a lowered position, a workpiece such as a bicycle can be placed on the hook. When boxes are placed below the hook, the hook can be rotated to a raised position out of the way.
