Abstract: A cutting board assembly has a housing that has a plurality of side walls, a top wall and bottom wall that together define an internal storage space. The top wall has a cutting surface, and the bottom wall has at least one vent opening. A plurality of cutting sheets are stored inside the storage space.

Abstract: A shelving system has a plurality of shelves, with each shelf having a plurality of intersecting wire rods. The shelving system also has a plurality of posts connected to the shelves and separating the shelves. A storage bin is adapted for use with the shelving system. The storage bin has a bottom wall, at least one side wall, an interior space enclosed by the at least one side wall and the bottom wall, and a plurality of rails provided on the bottom surface of the bottom wall. Each rail has a groove, with the groove of each of the rails aligned to form a row of grooves. The storage bin is seated on one of the shelves, with one of the wire rods in the one of the shelves positioned in the row of grooves to maintain the storage bin at a desired position on the shelf.

Abstract: A fan assembly has a base portion having a fixed base, a blower portion that includes an oscillating blower mount that is operably coupled to the fixed base, and a blower that is coupled to the blower mount and which oscillates when the blower mount oscillates. The assembly further includes a degree swing setting assembly that controls the degree of oscillation to be experienced by the blower mount.

Abstract: A fan assembly has a base portion that remains stationary during the operation of the fan assembly, the base portion having a stationary base support plate. The assembly also includes a blower portion that includes an oscillating top plate, a blower that is coupled to the top plate and which oscillates when the top plate oscillates, and a grill cover that is coupled to the base support plate so that the grill cover remains stationary even when the top plate and the blower oscillates. The assembly can optionally include a smooth glide mechanism positioned between the top plate and the base support plate.

Abstract: A storage assembly has a plurality of panels that are assembled to form a plurality of storage spaces, a plurality of connectors for coupling adjacent panels to form the plurality of storage spaces, and at least one tray positioned inside one of the storage spaces. Each connector has a generally circular body having a plurality of spaced-apart scalloped regions, with a recess provided at each of the locations of the scalloped regions. The storage system includes a caster having a wheel and a caster frame. The caster frame has a body, a bore provided therethrough for receiving the wheel, and at least two spaced-apart passages formed in the circumference of the body.

Abstract: A modular shelving assembly has at least three spaced poles, each having a connector, a first post unit and a second post unit. Each post unit has first and second opposing ends, with a first protrusion extending radially inwardly from the hollow interior surface of the first post unit adjacent the first end thereof, and a second protrusion extending radially inwardly from the hollow interior surface of the second post unit adjacent the second end thereof. Each connector has first and second opposing ends, a first track provided adjacent the first end of the connector and a second track provided adjacent the second end of the connector. Each of the first and second tracks has a leg portion extending from one of the first or second end of the connector, and a foot extending from the leg portion.

Abstract: A hamper assembly has a plurality of separate sections, and a plurality of supports. Each section has a first side and a second side, and a connector provided on each side of each section. In addition, each support removably couples the connector on the first side of one section and the connector on the second side of an adjacent section.

Abstract: A patio umbrella has a pole that has an opening extending therethrough. The patio umbrella has a plurality of ribs for supporting and umbrella covering, and a runner adapted to slide along the pole and coupled to the ribs. The patio umbrella further includes a pulley system that has a first pulley member secured to a first side of the pole, a second pulley member coupled to the runner on the first side of the pole, a wheel positioned inside the opening of the pole, and a pulley rope. The pulley rope has a first end secured to the second pulley member and passes through the first and second pulley members, and then through the wheel inside the opening of the pole, to a free end that is positioned on a side of the pole that is opposite to the first side.

Abstract: An organizer assembly has a frame that includes a base that is adapted to rest on a horizontal surface, a rear support extending vertically from the base, and a support ring having a front edge and a rear edge that is attached to the rear support. The assembly further includes a removable tray having a rear edge that is removably engaged with the rear edge of the support ring, and a bottom that is supported by the front edge of the support ring, when the tray is deployed at a horizontal use position with the frame. The removable tray may be deployed by inserting the rear edge of the tray through the support ring at an angle, and then engaging the rear edge of the tray with the rear edge of the support ring.
