Abstract: A self-locking quick release bracket having a body which surrounds a support rod having a line of cavities. The body includes an internal projection adapted to be placed into a selected one of the cavities at a desired elevation along the rod. The body is so formed that it can be tilted relative to the rod to remove the projection from a cavity and allow the bracket to be moved longitudinally along the rod in order to change the location of the bracket on the rod.

Abstract: Portable storage support structure adapted for resting on a floor and leaning against a wall includes elongated first and second members having a bend so as to together define a plane, and a support bar secured to the upper one of the members which lies within the plane and extends generally orthogonally to a major axis of the upper member. The length of the support bar is shorter than the projection of the lower member away from the upper member major axis so that the center of gravity remains between the distal end of the lower member and the wall. The upper end of the upper member and the distal end of the lower member frictionally engage the wall and the floor, respectively, so as to maintain the position of the support structure when a downwardly directed load is applied to the support bar.

Abstract: A plant package for a live plant having a stem, roots and rooting medium surrounding the roots. The package comprises a self-supporting, light transmissive, sealed polymer shell having an internal surface defining a package interior. A shelf is provided on the internal surface, and defines first and second interior compartments for containing the roots and stem, respectively. An inner container is provided for the roots and rooting medium, and an outer container engaged with the internal surface is provided for the inner container. A divider is engaged with the stem and inner container and assists with the maintenance of the roots and rooting medium within the inner container.

Abstract: A plant package [12] for a live plant having a stem [S], roots [R] and rooting medium [D] surrounding the roots. The package comprises a self-supporting, light transmissive, sealed polymer shell [14] having an internal surface [22] defining a package interior [24]. A shelf [16] is provided on the internal surface, and defines first and second interior compartments [18, 20] for containing the roots and stem, respectively. The portion of the shell defining the first interior compartment has a greater thickness than the portion of the shell defining the second interior compartment, and the second compartment is substantially more permeable to oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules than the first compartment. An inner container [60] is provided for the roots and rooting medium, and an outer container [62] engaged with the internal surface is provided for the inner container. Together the containers and first interior compartment form a substantial water vapor barrier.
