Abstract: A modular library system for computer cartridges has stationary and mobile racks. Each of the racks comprises a plurality of spaced "T" shaped vertical supports. The vertical supports define vertical spaces for receiving cartridge holding trays or packs. The "T" shaped supports have tabs for holding the packs. The "T" shaped supports are interconnected by a top panel, a rear panel, a mounting base and a spreader. The spreader interlinks with all the vertical supports for providing structural rigidity.

Abstract: A filing device hanger bar supports a center hook cartridge binder from its center hook for storage or from either end of the binder in an inverted inclined position for accessing the inner pages of the document bound by the cartridge binder. The hanger bar has a bead flange for supporting a center hook cartridge binder from its center hook for storage and a retention lip above the bead flange for engaging an end of the binder to support the binder in an inverted inclined position for accessing the document bound by the cartridge binder. A support flange above the retention lip supports end hook filing devices for storage, and another retention lip above the support flange may also be used for engaging an end of the binder to support the binder in an inverted inclined position for accessing the document bound by the cartridge binder.

Abstract: A cabinet includes a plurality of compartments, each compartment having a door that is positionable in a closed position, a recessed position, and a posting shelf position. A tracking mechanism is connected adjacent a trailing edge of each door to slidably and pivotally mount the door relative to the compartment. Forward ends of a pair of support bars are pivotally connected to each door adjacent a leading edge. Rearward ends of the support bars include shoulder rivets that are slidably and pivotally mounted in slots formed in mounting panels. The door is in the posting shelf position when the shoulder rivets are seated in retaining portions of the slots.

Abstract: A cell for receiving, storing and dispensing an object having a bottom (18), a side wall (30), a rear wall (32), a discharge end (40) opposite the rear wall and a ridge at the discharge end of the cell. A central, elongate, cantilever area (50) is formed in the bottom of the cell which supports an object when the remainder of the cell has been pivoted downwardly and the cell has been partially ejected by the rear wall.

Abstract: A machine-readable, human-readable coding system comprising a one piece, pre-printed label having at least two identical messages coded on the label. The label has two columns, one column, (2) being a series of aligned segments (6). There is one data character (12) of an OCR code located in each segment. The background of each segment is color coded for human readability. A second column (8) contains a single machine-readable bar code (12) containing the same message as the OCR code. The color coded segments and the OCR code are readable one direction and the bar code in the opposite direction.

Abstract: The invention is disclosed as being embodied in the stationary storing and dispensing system for substantially square or rectangular objects and comprises at least two shelves (S) each having a bottom (20), a ramp (32), a finger guide (26), and and article restraining member (30), the shelves being assembled horizontally one above the other.

Abstract: A storing and dispensing sytem for square or rectangular objects such as computer media cartridges and packages. The system includes a housing (10) forming a plurality of stalls (16), and an ejector (18) associated with each stall (16) and pivotally mounted in the housing (12) for dispensing the contents of the associated stall (16) upon manual actuation of the ejector (18).

Abstract: There is disclosed a hollow, blow molded plastic panel for door and drawer fronts for storage cabinets having a recessed handle (16) of substantial keystone configuration in a surface (2). Also disclosed is a mold having a movable core insert (58) for forming the handle and a method of molding.

Abstract: Disclosed is a removable, replaceable assembly for supporting a file system of the type which has a plurality of separator cards each of which is centrally apertured near its bottom to receive a locking rod. The cards are assembled behind the other. The assembly includes a pair of spaced parallel pivot rails (2, 4). Each rail has an upper pivot surface (6) lying in a common plane on which the bottom portions of the cards are supported for pivotal motion. Means (10, 36) join the pivot rails together and are located below the pivot surfaces of the rails. A locking rod (20) is located midway between the pivot rails of extends parallel to the rods and passes through the apertures in the separator card. Rod retaining means (24) extend upwardly from the joining means and are releasably engagable with the locking rod. The retaining means are apertured to position the rod between the rails at or below the plane of the pivot surfaces of the rails.

Abstract: A storing and dispensing system for square or rectangular objects including a tray (T) having side by side cells 10. Each cell has a front wall (2), side walls (12), and a rear wall (4), a bottom (6), and an upwardly inclined ramps (28), extending rearwardly from the bottom surface to the rear wall. The side walls have extenders (14) joining them to the front wall.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, cartridge storage racks are subject to being arranged end-to-end and back-to-back in stationary rows; and, adapted to be mounted to slide alongside the front of each row are similar racks. The number of stationary racks, without disturbing existing racks, may be extended to the extent of room space; and track elements may be added as needed to the extent of the rows of stationary racks for sliding thereon additional slide racks. The slide racks are subject to sliding relative to the stationary racks in such manner as not to block full access of an individual to the stationary racks; and means is provided whereby the slide racks are subject to being braked against over-travel relative to the stationary racks.The questions raised in reexamination request No. 90/003,277, filed Dec. 10, 1993, have been considered and the results thereof are reflected in this reissue patent which constitutes the reexamination certificate required by 35 U.S.C. 307 as provided in 37 CFR 1.570(e).

Abstract: A modular system for erecting workbenches and equipped walls, in particular for use in laboratories, comprises a structure constructed of modular uprights and crosspieces to which beams can be fixed which permit supports for pieces of furniture, working tables, etc . . . , to be fitted in a slidable manner.?.. M.!..Iadd., m.Iaddend.ounted to the wall are also panels including electrical connections, panels for fluid supply, etc . . . , which have all of the components entirely received inside the associated wall in a flush-relationship therewith.
