Abstract: A storing and dispensing system for substantially rectangular objects having a tray (12) with a plurality of side-by-side cells (40). Each cell has a bottom (30) that terminates at a location (41) spaced from a rear guide (32) to create a supporting surface (42) and a gap (44) contiguous with the rear guide of the cell to permit an object in the cell to be tilted into the gap to gain better access to an object in an adjacent cell.

Abstract: There is disclosed a locking pin subassembly (94) for pull out components of storage cabinets having a locking bar (86) of C-shaped configuration, a locking pin (115) projecting from a threaded stud which is engagable in a threaded nut (127). The nut is the shape of a parallelogram, the nut has two pairs of projections (133a and 133b) engagable with interior surfaces of the flanges (92) of the locking bar so that when the lock pin is threaded into the nut, the nut will be drawn toward the rear surfaces of the flanges with the projections engaging the rear faces of the flanges affording antirotational and antisliding contact.

Abstract: A latch housing of molded plastic has a flanged surface that makes surface contact around a rectangular cutout in a dimpled or recessed area of a metal panel flush with the panel surface. Four extended retainers having a lightly tapered bottom edge retain the housing in the panel. A latch having a stepwise tapered end resides within the housing with the end passing through a vertical slot in a rear wall of the housing. A spring is connected between an integral hook on the housing and the forward end of the latch to keep the latch normally in the locked position. An opening in the housing allows a finger to engage the latch and release it from the locked position.

Abstract: A new and improved cable bushing including a frame portion, and a detachable filler portion connected to the frame portion, is herein disclosed and claimed. The filler portion includes at least one hinged flap movable between a first position in which the flap is remote from the interior of the frame portion, and a second position in which the flap is disclosed substantially within the frame portion so as to permit a cable to be received therethrough while the frame portion occupies an opening within a unit of office furniture or partition. The filler portion with its flap in its first position has a substantially flat top surface which may be disposed in a coplanar relation with the top or exposed surface of the structure in which the bushing is mounted.

Abstract: A storage file of open box-like form for storing books, documents, cassettes, discs and the like in a suspension filing system is disclosed herein. In one embodiment the storage file includes on its top a hook and a lock means, designed to prevent inadvertent disengagement of the hook, Another feature is an interlock which cooperates with a strap-like member disposed parallel to a hanger bar in the filing system to prevent rotation of the storage file while it is suspended from the hanger bar.

Abstract: Guard device for storing a disk package comprising a jacket containing a flexible magnetic disk, said device being substantially rigid and having a front or cover surface, a back surface, sides and a bottom, said cover surface being preferably shorter in length than the back surface to permit a label on the jacket to be observed as well as to permit writing on the label and the sides preferably extending above the cover to protect the side edges of the disk package. The device also preferably includes ribs to protect a pocket for the disk package as well as restraining ribs located at the bottom of the pocket.
