Abstract: A shelf having a horizontal planar supporting surface and an edge portion is supported by a vertically disposed post having a pair of support strips fixed in angular relation to each other and in each of which a plurality of apertures are formed in vertically spaced relationship together with a support clip having a pair of vertically disposed support panels fixed in angular relation to each other and respectively disposed adjacent said support strips, the angular relation between said support panels corresponding generally with that between said support strips so that the panel and strips are disposed in parallel relationship to each other and wherein at least one support tab is formed on each support panel and disposed in an aperture in the associated support strip, the support tabs being configured so that the shelf edge portion may be firmly gripped between said support strips and their corresponding support panels.

Abstract: An improved utility table mounted on the back of a reclinable seat, such as those found in commercial airplanes, for use by the passenger occupying a second seat immediately behind the first seat. The table top includes forward and rearward sections which fold onto each other. The utility table is removeably supported by arms which are pivotally attached to the back of the first seat. The rearward section is connected to the forward section by hinge means. When the rearward section is folded onto the forward section the table may then be used as a small table for holding drinks. Thereafter the folded table may be pivoted as a unit into the first seat back for storage.

Abstract: There is disclosed a fastener assembly including a fastener or screw member having a head portion and an externally threaded body portion, and an improved novel washer design pre-assembled thereon and held in captive relation by the external thread form. The washer member comprises a frusto-conical body section which includes surfaces converging in a direction away from the fastener drive head, in contrast to the normal accepted practice of employing washer which surfaces converge toward the drive head. From this reversal of design numerous manufacturing and operational advantages result, most particularly when the washer includes a plurality of axially extending teeth disposed radially about the convex face thereof. When the assembly is engaged with a nut or a workpiece to clamp or join structural elements, the fastener head portion will bear directly over the teeth of the washer member urging them into biting engagement with the adjacent surface regardless of the degree of final assembly.

Abstract: This invention is for an improved print-out reader rack for use in the computer industry or the like for supporting a binder having print-out sheets contained therein. This rack consists of a carbon steel rod framework having two parallel spaced sides inclined upwardly and terminating in vertical legs for positioning the sides at an angle to the horizontal. Cross filler members are positioned between the sides to give rigidity to the framework. The front of the rack is formed angularly upwardly to receive the back of the binder. A weighted arm is pivotally mounted to one side of the rack to hold sheets of a binder in operative position.

Abstract: A cylindrical money box assembly that is received in a housing through a generally circular opening thereof and has a locking mechanism with a plate that is rotatable to position projecting portions in relation to a set of parts of the housing. In one position of the plate, corresponding to an unlocked state, the projecting portions are located to clear the set of housing parts allowing insertion of the money box assembly into the housing, and removal therefrom. In another position of the plate, corresponding to a locked state, the projecting portions engage and interfere with the set of housing parts to securely lock the money box assembly to the housing.

Abstract: A display unit used with an aperture board for displaying a plurality of cylindrical objects in which four fixtures each having engagement prongs which space the fixture from the associated apertured board are used to mount spaced apart container sections. Each container section has two horizontal pairs of spaced apart channels which are tapered, thereby permitting sliding engagement of the container section with the fixture. The constructed display unit slopes downwardly at an angle of about 10.degree. to about 12.degree. from a line extending normal to the apertured board providing gravity feed of the displayed merchandise.

Abstract: A wheelchair for the use of invalids has two propelling wheels, at least one of which can be swung rearwardly of the seat of the chair. An armrest is provided which can be swung down, so as to be in the horizontal and permitting the user of the wheelchair to slide on the downswung armrest onto a seating or lying accommodation, the armrest being constituted by two plate elements hinged to one another, so that when unfolded the armrest offers a wide surface adapted to bridge a wide gap between the seat of the wheelchair and an accommodation to which the user of the chair transfers.

Abstract: A device is disclosed for the display of jewelry articles such as earrings and the like, such device including a frame to which parallel overlying article supports are attached. The device further includes a slide having a plurality of flanges adapted in turn to overlie the article supports in such a fashion that when the slide is in a lower position, the space between the adjacent flanges and article supports is such that the articles cannot be removed from the latter. The slide is subsequently movable to a second upper position wherein such space is sufficient for the removal of the articles. An alarm responsive to the slide movement between such lower and upper positions serves to indicate any unauthorized attempt to remove an article.

Abstract: A bicycle seat post for supporting a saddle on a bicycle frame. A tube cap is secured to the upper end of a tube and provides a cylindrical-segment upper surface. There is a generally cylindrical concentric inner surface, and an oversize upward passage through both surfaces. A cylindrical swivel pin is in engagement with the inner surface. The saddle has a rigid frame that is to be clamped between upper and lower clamp members. The lower clamp member has an upper clamping surface and a lower cylindrical-segment surface in engagement with the cylindrical upper surface of the tube cap. The upper clamp member has a lower clamping surface and a threaded vertical opening. The assembly is held together by a single bolt, preferably extending up from the bottom of the tube cap, through a diametric opening in the swivel pin, through an opening through the lower clamp member, and into the threaded opening of the upper clamp member, tightening all the members together and to the saddle.
