Abstract: A shoe storage shelf assembly is suitable for mounting to an organizer system and has at least one storage shelf with a top side, an underside, a depth from front to back, and a width from side to side. The shelf is configured for use as a standard storage shelf in an organizer system. The assembly also has a pair of shelf support brackets each with a body having a rear end and an upward facing shelf support surface. The support surface is forwardly and downwardly inclined and has an upturned stop at a distal forward end. Connectors extend rearward from the rear end of the brackets and are configured to connect to uprights in an organizer system. The shelf can be inverted such that its top side rests on the shelf support surfaces with its front borne against the upturned stops.

Abstract: A flat panel assembly for a drawer tower includes a left panel including a left rail adapted to slidably receive a rim of a drawer, a right panel including a right rail adapted to slidably receive a rim of a drawer, and a back panel foldably integral with the left panel along a first joint, and foldably integral with the right panel along a second joint.

Abstract: An organizer system has a length adjustable horizontal top rail, a plurality of length adjustable vertical uprights, and a plurality of mounting brackets attachable to the uprights. The mounting brackets are mounted to the uprights at any of multiple optional desired locations. One or more shelves are mounted to the mounting brackets. The shelf width is adjustable to virtually any width from a minimum single shelf width by using two or more of the shelves. Storage accessories can be mounted to the system and can include shoe storage shelves, shoe storage racks, clothes hanging rods, vertical storage devices, and forwardly and rearwardly slidable storage devices.

Abstract: An adjustable width wire shelving unit has at least one first shelf and at least one second shelf. Each shelf has an elongate front wire, an elongate rear wire, and a plurality of transverse wires connected and extending between the respective front and rear wires. The front and rear wires extend a width of their respective shelf. The first shelf is sized to overlap and nest with the second shelf over a desired fraction of its width. The transverse wires of the overlapped first and second shelves lie in essentially the same plane to form a support surface.

Abstract: An improved reusable storage container is disclosed with a varying wall thickness. Specifically, the vertical corner sections have a greater wall thickness than the side and end panels and, possibly, the bottom panel. Further, the various corner sections or corner junctions of the structure may also have a greater average wall thickness than the vertical, side or end panels and, possibly, the bottom panel. The improved container is fabricated using an extrusion blow molding process with a shaped die in combination with parison programming so that the thickness of the extruded parison is non-uniform both radially and axially. An adjustable die for carrying out the extrusion blow molding process is also disclosed.

Abstract: A storage container includes a bottom wall, a pair of side walls extending up from the bottom wall, and a pair of end walls extending up from the bottom wall, the bottom wall, side walls, and end walls being interconnected and defining a cargo space. A side rim is disposed on top of the side walls and includes a bottom portion extending outwardly from the side wall and an arch extending upward and downward from the bottom portion. The arch defines a convex upper surface and a concave interior arch surface. A middle portion extends upwardly from the arch, an upper portion extends inward from the middle portion, and a lip extending downward from the upper portion and outside of the cargo space. A plurality of spaced apart ribs extend downward from and traverse the concave interior arch surface.

Abstract: A multiple layer reusable plastic container is disclosed. The multiple layer structure includes a thicker middle layer disposed between thinner inner and outer layers. The thicker middle layer has a high stiffness characteristic and provides structural integrity for the three-dimensional container. The inner and outer layers do not need a high stiffness characteristic, but preferably include high impact resistance for maintaining a suitable aesthetic appearance including scratch resistance, crack resistance, and the like. Commodity resins can therefore be combined to provide a multiple layer reusable plastic container which is low cost, lightweight, strong and provides suitable cracking and shattering resistance over broad temperature ranges.

Abstract: A storage container has a container base with a bottom panel and an upstanding circumferentially contiguous base side wall. The side wall extends from and is connected to the bottom panel. The base side wall terminates at a top end that defines a base opening into a base interior. A container lid has a top panel and a lid rim. The lid can be installed on the base with the rim registered with the top end of the base side wall to form a storage enclosure defined within at least the base interior. A basket can be hung from the base top end either within the base interior or exterior to the base side wall when installed. The lid is configured to define at least a vertical portion of the storage enclosure. The lid can be configured having a depth sufficient to provide additional storage space when removed from the container and inverted.

Abstract: A multiple layer reusable plastic container is disclosed. The multiple layer structure includes at least one layer of recycled or highly economic material and at least one outer layer made from either virgin resin or a more aesthetically appealing material to provide a multiple layer reusable container that is economical to manufacture in terms of material costs but yet has an acceptable outward appearance. The recycled or economical layer may be coated on both sides with virgin resin to provide an improved inner and outer appearance to the reusable container and also qualify the inner surface as an appropriate food contacting surface.
