In one embodiment, the sidepieces each have two notches and the platform has protrusions or extensions that engage the notches in the respective position(s). In one position, the protrusions on the platform engage one notch on each sidepiece; in the other position, the protrusions engage the other notch on each sidepiece.

Abstract: An adjustable bracing device used for holding an openable case includes first and second mounts which respectively extend away from a case body and a hinged lid member of the case, and a carrier frame which is pivotally mounted to the first mount and a linking lever, and which has a biasing member mounted thereon. A cam surface of the linking lever is disposed to abut against a depressed end of the biasing member for holding the lid member in a partially or fully opened position. An adjusting member is disposed to adjust the biasing force of the biasing member.

Abstract: The invention includes an attachment for a socket wrench that is capable of imparting torque about an axis simultaneously in opposite directions. The invention also includes a method for imparting torque about an axis simultaneously in opposite directions.

Abstract: A collapsible storage bin having a base member and an upper containment member is provided. The base member includes a plurality of base walls, and a downwardly facing lip is disposed on at least one of the base walls. The upper containment member includes a plurality of containment walls, and an upwardly facing lip is disposed on at least one of the containment walls. The upwardly facing lip is configured to matingly engage the downwardly facing lip when the base member and the upper containment member are in an assembled position. A locking tab on the containment member is configured to lockingly engage a recess on the base member to lock the base member and the upper containment together in the assembled position.
