Abstract: The present invention provides a fluid handling apparatus for use in cold temperature conditions. In this respect, the apparatus of the present invention comprises a freeze protected conduit having a length comprising an elongated conduit for conveying or containing an aqueous liquid and an elongated compressible elastomeric material disposed within the conduit along its length. Alternatively, the conduit may comprise, at least in part, a substantially liquid impermeable membrane which is disposed in substantially adjacent relationship with a compressible elastomeric material. When exposed to freezing temperatures, aqueous liquid in conduits will freeze and expand. The compressible elastomeric material accommodates this expansion, thereby protecting the conduit from failure.

Abstract: A workstation support system which is designed to receive a computer mouse, keyboard and the like comprises a drawer of a desk and a suspension structure within the drawer. The suspension structure comprises a rigid support surface and hangers which fit with the spaced apart sidewalls of the drawer to suspend the support surface in a horizontal position within the drawer. The suspension structure is adjustable to fit different drawer widths.
