Abstract: A resilient clip or spring clip is disclosed which has a pair of jaw members and a generally U-shaped biasing member for connecting the jaws together and for biasing the jaws into a closed position. The biasing member has a pair of legs connected by a curvilinear central portion and a curvilinear support portion interior thereof. The central portion and support portion are connected by a bridge-like member, and define a channel therebetween. The sidewall of each jaw member has a closed sidewall extending along a substantial portion thereof and defines an arcuate surface. During actuation of the clip, the sidewall traverses through the channel in the biasing member, while the support portion defines and serves as a fulcrum for rotation of the jaws between the open and the closed positions, independently of any separate support member.

Abstract: A modular assembly comprised of a plurality of shelf members, each having a plurality of equally spaced sockets for selectively receiving a plurality of legs insertable therein to facilitate a variety of arrangements of interconnected shelf members. Cap members can be inserted into said sockets to provide a smooth surface.

Abstract: A molded plastic load-bearing support device with an adhesive coated fabric backing member is disclosed. The fabric backing member is adhesive coated so that the molded plastic, load-bearing support device will adhere to a surface. The fabric backing member is integrally associated with the molded plastic load-bearing support device. The adhesive coating at least partially penetrates the surface of the fabric backing member.

Abstract: Modular shutter constructed of modular components including side rails, end rails, and a central generally planar panel member, and including a stabilizing member disposed between the edge of said central panel member and adjacent end rails and connectable therebetween for maintaining the relative positioning therebetween and including a portion for covering any gap between the edge of said central panel member and the adjacent end rail.

Abstract: A spring clip having a pair of jaws and a spring or biasing member interconnecting the jaws for biasing the jaws to a closed position, the spring including a support ledge defining a fulcrum for rotation of the jaws between the open and closed position independently of any separate support member.

Abstract: A multi-panel modular shutter assembly comprised of a plurality of center panels disposed side-by-side between a pair of side rails which include retaining means engagable with the adjacent sides of a center panel for retaining said center panel in place and including a plurality of top and bottom rails for framing said center panels engagable with said side rails and an elongate stabilizing strip disposed between adjacent center panels and end rails for retaining said center panels in place and providing a stable shutter assembly.

Abstract: A shutter assembly of modular members molded or extruded from a polymeric material. Each of two side rails has a front wall and an inner wall defining a channel portion. Each of upper, and lower frame members and two louvered panel members has runners or mounting flanges extending along the sides thereof. The channel portion of each side rail has a base leg projecting from the side rail, a second leg projecting from the base leg, and a third leg projecting from the second leg toward the side rail. The third leg is spaced from the side rail by a distance approximating the mounting flange thickness when the channel portion is unstressed. The base leg flange has a groove defining a hinge. The channel portion defines a flexible mounting channel accommodating the mounting flanges despite minor dimensional variations.

Abstract: A coated wire shelf assembly capable of free standing support and collapsible to a reduced size to facilitate shipping and storage thereof. The shelf assembly includes a shelf and a pair of laterally spaced shelf supports connected by hinge joints to the shelf. Separate locking mechanisms releasably secure each shelf support in a shelf supporting position and allows each shelf support to be rotated about a respective hinge joint to a storage position to substantially reduce the size of the shelf assembly thereby facilitating shipping and storage thereof.
