Abstract: The present invention comprises a sheet metal leg retaining anchor having an upturned perimeter flange edge. The perimeter edge includes a plurality of holes there through and a threaded nut is secured centrally thereof. In the illustrative embodiment the anchor is placed within a roto-molded mold for the particular leg supported structure/cabinet being produced therein. The upturned perimeter flange edges are oriented to extend into the mold, that is, in the opposite direction from what will be the bottom end of the structure/cabinet from which the legs will extend. The bin is then formed by the roto-molding process whereby the plastic material flows over and around the exposed surfaces of the anchor. Specifically, the plastic flows through the holes in the perimeter flange edges providing for a strong mechanical locking or securing of the anchor to and with the plastic structure/cabinet. The legs are threadably engaged with the anchor and firmly anchored thereby to the structure/cabinet.

Abstract: A mounting assembly for securing one or more elongated items to a structural member. In one embodiment, the assembly may include a saddle mount device, a button head cable tie and may include one or more conventional cable ties. The saddle mount has at least one primary funnel-shaped aperture and may include additional apertures. The button head cable tie secures or cradles the elongate items to the saddle mount and secures the saddle mount to the structural member. The saddle mount base mates with the structural member. The resulting assembly holds the items in a spaced-apart relationship from the structural member. The conventional cable ties may be used to secure additional items to the saddle mount. Alternate embodiments include an integral or separate mounting member to affix the mounting assembly to the structural member.

Abstract: A self-centering system is described for holding an object (e.g. a vial, tube or cell) to maintain the longitudinal axis of the object in the desired orientation. The system includes two cam members which are pivotably mounted on parallel axes. The cam members include sloped surfaces which are able to accommodate objects of various diameters or shapes (e.g. circular or non-circular cross-section). The cam members are biased (e.g. with weights or springs) such that the sloped surfaces are automatically brought into contact with the object to be oriented and supported.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus adapted to angle and space a laptop computer above a surface. The apparatus is a laptop stand and comprises a concave member having a first portion and a second portion adapted to receive a laptop computer. The first portion is at a height which is substantially higher than the second portion so as angle the laptop as it lies atop the stand. The invention cantilevers the laptop to advantageously cool the laptop at a greater rate than if the laptop were directly in contact with a surface, such as a desk top, and, simultaneously, provides laptop users with a more user-friendly angle from which to operate the laptop keyboard.
