Abstract: A compact, gravity fed storage and dispensing rack for beverage containers. The box-like rack comprises a pair of rigid, generally parallel, and spaced-apart side walls terminating in a rear wall. A pair of upper and lower lengthwise inclined shelves extend generally transversely between the opposing sides. The upper shelf is inclined downwardly interiorly from an access end of the rack. The lower shelf is inclined downwardly from the rear wall towards the access end. Containers roll from the upper shelf at the rack access end into the interior of the rack, through a transfer throat, and then down the lower ramp back to the rack access end for access. To encourage reliable bottle transfer, both shelves are edgewise inclined and transfer throat is defined within the frame between the end of the upper shelf and the beginning of the lower shelf. A variable extension tongue is slidably associated with the input shelf.

Abstract: A display and storage rack for showing, holding and permitting customers to withdraw stored items. The rack has rows of hollow tubes supported at a slight angle from the horizontal. The front of the tubes are open to permit customers, or other users, to withdraw items stored within the tubes.

Abstract: A display rack and an integrally formed hanger fixture for supporting the display rack is disclosed, and wherein the hanger fixture is formed as a L-shaped bracket having substantially horizontal and substantially vertical walls. A retainer wall is connected to a lower portion of the vertical wall and extends upwardly therefrom in substantially parallel spaced relation to the vertical wall to define a gap between the vertical wall and the retainer wall for slidably receiving a rear wall portion of a display rack. A pressure sensitive adhesive is positioned on the underside of the horizontal wall of the hanger fixture for adhesively securing the hanger fixture to a supporting surface.

Abstract: A pair of vertical telescoping members are progressively lockable into any relative position to vary the overall length thereof by special locking hardware mounted on the inner member where it is not visible. The hardware includes a locking member movable in part by inertial forces between a released or unlocking position and a locking position where it forms a one way slip clutch with the inner surface of the outer member which permits the inner member to be raised which then preferably shifts the locking member into a release position. The inner member is moved further up or down to its desired position. Whenever the inner member is released, it is preferred that gravity will cause the inner member to move suddenly downwardly a small distance quickly to cause the locking portion of this member to move to its locking position.

Abstract: A file folder capable of being suspended from a hanging storage rack, having first and second straight shank ordinary fasteners for mounting first and second hanger members upon the file folder and whereby terminal portions of the hanger members are selectively positioned inside of the file folder or outside of the folder to enable the folder to be hung within an ordinary hanging storage rack. The fasteners also bind papers to the folder at the same time.

Abstract: A vertical file assembly which is easy and less costly to manufacture with injection molding techniques has (1) a divider unit with spaced apart dividers rising from an integral base panel to form compartments for books, catalogs, file folders and documents and (2) two wedge-shaped adapters each with a pair of barbed projections projecting inwards from an upper edge. These projections are inserted in receiving slots and latched in apertures formed in the bottom of the base panel of the divider unit. When the adapters and divider unit are assembled, the base panel slants upward from front to back to elevate each divider a certain measure above the preceding divider. The wedge-shaped adapters also have tabs with ledge portions which slide along the sidewalls and are caught in niches in the sidewalls of a supporting letter tray.

Abstract: Video Cassette holder/shelf for mounting on vertical surfaces of slot-wall for merchanising purposes. The holder is a module with bi-model display capacity and intercongruous or modular design characteristics. Each module has vertical walled recesses for displaying cassettes upright and at an angle relative to a vertical display wall surface and a tray with tilted bottom and back wall surfaces for displaying cassettes face-out and parallel to the vertical display wall surface.

Abstract: A firewood holder is disclosed which is constructed of two support sections each including an elongated rung portion and two end portions extending perpendicular to the rung portions, a hinge connecting the respective free ends of the end portions, and a baseplate having a series of spaced apart grooves in its upper surface so that the rungs of the two support sections can be placed in different grooves of the baseplate to enable the firewood holder to be used to support different lengths of firewood.

Abstract: A spacer to maintain separation between garments on hangers hanging on a clothes rod being a collar having a clam shell construction so that the spacer can be opening for attachment to, or removal from, the closet rod thereby avoiding the necessity of removing the bar from the closet. In preferred embodiment the spacer is generally cylindrical of diameter greater than the inner diameter of the coat hanger hook and having rounded ends to cause the hangers to rest on the rod. One or more hook retaining grooves may be included medially of the ends. Snap closure means secures the two hemi-shells closed. At least one of the shells may be decoratively configured, e.g. a Disney character or the like to appeal to children. The plastic may be color-coded or labeled.

Abstract: A foldable footwear support device for displaying and/or storing footwear articles comprises two rectangular panel sections having a hinge joint therebetween and an upwardly open pouch attached to each of the panel sections, the pouches being capable of containing the toe portions of footwear articles such as slippers and the panel sections being pivotable relative to one another. When pivoted into a coplanar orientation and when the two panel sections have holes in their upper corners, the device can be hung from wall brackets to display the footwear articles. When the two panel sections are pivoted about the hinge joint to be partially folded together, the device can be positioned on a flat surface to display the footwear articles.
