  • Patent number: 9896244
    Abstract: Linkable workstations are provided that define a reservoir for containing liquid. The linkable workstations can be nested together in a compact vertical space. The workstations include a plurality of high rim portions and a plurality of low rim portions. The high rim portions on a workstation are configured to overlap a low rim portion of another workstation to link workstations side to side to form custom configurations. The workstations include overflow channels that allow for the sharing of the liquid containing capacity between linked workstations, and which can be selectively sealed to prevent fluid from flowing therethrough.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6382108
    Abstract: A spill pallet for supporting and providing secondary containment for at least one intermediate bulk container. The spill pallet consists of a base and side walls that form an open-top box structure. From the base of each of the four corners of the structure extend four pillars with flat upper surfaces. These pillars support a platform that covers a substantial portion of the structure. The platform contains a center support post that extends to the base of the structure. The container and platform have been adapted so that they can be nested with other containers and platforms for shipping.

  • Patent number: 5564343
    Abstract: An adjustable shelf for a paint colorant dispensing station comprises at least two platforms rotatably mounted on a pair of brackets. A pair of stops restrain the rotation of the shelf between two positions. One of the platforms is substantially horizontal and disposed beneath a dispensing head in one of the positions. The other platform is substantially horizontal and disposed beneath the dispensing head in the other of the positions. Each platform is adapted to hold a paint can. Each stop is adjustable by rotating the stop relative to the shelf. The rotation causes a threaded rod to extend from or retract to the element that supports the stop. A locking mechanism is provided to selectively restrain the shelf against rotation when the shelf is in one of the two positions.
