Abstract: An aircraft pallet assembly structured to support and retain cargo intended to be loaded on and transported by commercial aircraft, wherein the pallet assembly comprises a base and a surrounding peripheral portion normally including a multi-sided configuration. Each side of the base includes a peripheral flange extending at least along a majority of the length thereof, which is disposed and configured for fixed attachment to one of a plurality of track segments, collectively defining a track assembly, and structured to removably secure a load retaining assembly, typically in the form of a retaining cover or net in overlying, covering relation to the cargo, for purposes of maintaining the cargo in an intended position on the base of the pallet assembly.
Abstract: A slide opening and closing door apparatus for a control box is provided, in which a cover portion of a slide door opens and closes an exposed button portion of the control box which is located in the substantially same vertical surface as that of a front panel. The control box slide opening and closing door apparatus includes a guide unit in which a vertically elongate hole is formed in an inner wall of each side of the control box, a door member which moves up and down along the guide unit in order to open and close the upper portion of the control box, and a power transmission unit for transmitting power to the door member. In this manner, the door which is transferred by the driving of the electric motor ascends and descends in the control box, to thereby cover a button portion in the control box appropriately.
Abstract: A rack for holding industrial components, such as vehicle components, including class A components, includes a rigid frame and a collapsible, self-supporting frame which is positionable in the rigid frame. The collapsible, self-supporting frame is adapted to support a plurality of industrial components in at least a spaced vertical arrangement. Preferably, the rack also includes a cover which is movably mounted to the rigid frame and is movable between a closed position to cover the components in the collapsible, self-supporting frame and an open position retracted in the rigid frame to permit access to the components supported by the self-supporting frame.

Abstract: A laterally adjustable mounting bracket for use with a tongueless drawer guide, comprising a mounting plate and a hollow central elongate member connected at one end to the front face of the mounting plate. An opening in one end of the central elongate member opposite the mounting plate connection is adapted to receive a tongueless drawer guide. The opening is designed to maintain tension on the drawer guide, such that the drawer guide remains relatively secure after adjustment to a particular position. This is accomplished by a tab which is deflected slightly inward toward the interior of the opening, and which is somewhat displaced when a drawer guide is inserted.
Abstract: A portable rack for assembling packages of building materials. The rack comprises a base having a proximal side, a distal side, a top, a bottom, and a pair of channels extending between the proximal side and the distal side, the channels being designed to receive the forks of a forklift, and a plurality of elongated members attached to the proximal side and projecting upwardly from the base. The process for using the rack comprises placing the building materials onto the base of the rack using the forklift, moving the building materials toward the elongated members until the building materials abut at least one of the elongated members, and pulling the forks out from under the building materials.
Abstract: A vertical tubular rod used inside cabinets to support revolving shelves. The rod is made of transparent materials and capable of housing a neon tube inserted therein. The neon tube is electrically powered at the ends of the transparent rod.
Abstract: A door jamb that can be installed in a wall has an inward face facing inwardly toward the door and a peripheral face facing away from the door. The system has, in combination, a spaced plurality of clips each with an external arm and a transverse internal arm. The external arm is adapted for longitudinally directed, surficial attachment to the wall. Being adapted for its purpose, the internal arms are separately attached along the peripheral face of the jamb. Thereafter, with the jamb positioned in the wall, the jamb is plumbed and the external arms of the clips are surficially attached to the wall longitudinally.

The first and second towers define a space for receiving a television or a television stand for supporting a television.
Abstract: A window is attached to a bezel, housing, or other assembly. The bezel, housing, or other assembly has a series of pins surrounding an opening, and the window has a corresponding series of holes. The centers of the holes are slightly off-center from the centers of the pins in one dimension. When the window is pressed into place over the opening, the window deflects slightly. This deflection causes the edges of the holes to “dig into” the pins, and retains the window in place over the opening.
Abstract: A mounting bracket system is provided for installing a shelving accessory within a cabinet assembly having a pair of front and rear corner posts on opposed sides of the cabinet. Each of the pair of corner posts has facing surfaces formed with aligned keyholes therein.
