  • Publication number: 20080085157
    Abstract: A catch basin configured to allow selective positioning of the outlet and inlet ports on the side walls of the catch basin's receptacle body. At least one of the receptacle side walls comprise a slide opening having opposing sides. A slide member has a pair of slide edges that slidably engage the sides of the slide opening to substantially close the slide opening. The slide member has a port section and two or more positioning sections, with at least one positioning section located above the port section and one below the port section. The port section has an outlet or inlet port integral therewith or fixedly attached thereto or the port section comprises a mechanism for attaching an outlet or inlet port thereto, such as a port cutout having a removable knockout plate. The slide member has section removal indicators to identify which positioning sections should be removed.

  • Patent number: 7278644
    Abstract: A portable workspace for laptop computers that includes a main compartment configured to store computer peripherals and work materials in one or more storage spaces therein and a work surface area configured to securely store a laptop computer between a lid pivotally attached to the main compartment and the top surface of the main compartment. A retractable handle assembly is attached to the main compartment and utilized to move the workspace apparatus on wheels rotatably disposed in a wheel compartment at the back of the main compartment. A chair is removably attached to the main compartment so the user can sit on the chair when utilizing the workspace apparatus. One or more side tables are pivotally attached to the sides of the main compartment and configured to form a generally planar working surface with the top surface of the main compartment.

  • Patent number: 7210876
    Abstract: A rollable load bearing mat for protecting turf areas from damage caused by weight bearing loads, such as vehicle or pedestrian traffic, configured from a plurality of interconnected mat units having a plurality of spaced apart cell rows comprising a plurality of generally upstanding tubular cell members. The cell members comprise a series of first cell members and adjoining second cell members that, in the preferred embodiment, share a common sidewall and are axially offset. The cell rows are interconnected by a plurality of flexible strap members configured to allow the mat unit to be rolled for ease of handling and installation. The cell member sidewalls and the flexible strap members are configured to provide a substantially open cell member to facilitate plant growth through the mat unit. Connecting mechanisms at the periphery of the mat unit connect with adjacent mat units to form a unitary load bearing mat.
