Abstract: An information center including a vertically elongate open front housing having vertically aligned storage compartments therein. The upper portion of the housing, for a major portion of the height thereof, is selectively closed by a closure which in turn incorporates a lower enlarged calendar-receiving pocket, a digital timepiece immediately above the lower pocket, multiple transversely aligned smaller pockets above the digital timepiece, and an upper enlarged analog clock. The lower portion of the housing mounts an adjustable writing desk.

Abstract: A meat cleaning machine having an improved meat driving cylinder which includes a series of concentrically arranged, axially spaced, meat driving rings having outwardly projecting teeth which define the outer surface of the cylinder, and a supporting framework which consists of a pair of ring-shaped end frames positioned axially outwardly of the meat driving rings and interconnected by a pair of cross members disposed outwardly of the periphery of the cylinder. Each end frame has a pair of spaced, outwardly opening slots and a single inwardly opening slot. The slots in each end frame are aligned and form seats to journal the ends of grooved rollers which receive the meat driving rings in their grooves to support them, space them axially of the cylinder and maintain them in concentric relationship to each other.

Abstract: Rising from the opposite ends of an elongated rectangular base structure equipped with casters are two tubular uprights interconnected at their upper ends by a cross bar having opposite overhanging ends and brackets projecting therebeyond. The lower portions of these uprights are detachably bolted to upstanding upwardly convex arcuate braces secured to the opposite ends of the base structure. The cross bar and its end brackets are similarly detachable as a unit from the upper ends of the uprights whereby the truck may be disassembled into a compact space for return to its starting point. The base structure is so constructed as to nest with the base structures of similar trucks, so that when the articles transported from the warehouseto the destination have been delivered by several such trucks, these may be disassembled in the foregoing manner and their base structures stacked one upon the other for compactness of shipment or storage.
