Abstract: An attachment for a fork lift is provided. The attachment includes two arcuate members which are pivotally connected. The arcuate members have gripping surfaces which approximate a radius of curvature of a cylindrical drum of known dimensions. The gripping members are pivoted together to pivot between open and closed positions. In the closed positions, the gripping surfaces assume the external surface of the drum.

Abstract: A drum handler is provided for manipulating drums of known dimensions. The handler includes a frame and carriage attached to the frame to move along a vertical line of travel.

Abstract: A desktop organizer comprising a pair of side wall panels attached to a rear wall which extends approximately the length of the back edge of a desk. The desktop organizer may include one or more shelves extending the full length of the organizer, or a portion of that length terminating in an intermediate wall panel, with the remainder of the length having a set of stacked shelves or other various modules. The desktop organizer may be open topped, or a top cap may be added which also serves to support additional items.Each of the shelves includes a multiplicity of slots extending partially across the depth of the shelf generally perpendicular to the front and back edges thereof. The dividers may be inserted into the slots, each divider having one or more notches defined in the front edge of the divider which receives a portion of the shelf, the top of the divider being longer than the slot to prevent the divider from passing entirely through the slot.

Abstract: A mail sorting apparatus having a pair of opposing side panels, a top panel, a pair of opposing back panels, and a plurality of shelving members extending between the opposing side panels. The shelving members are supported by brackets having spaced apart shelf supporting tabs, the brackets being located along the opposing side panels and back panels. The shelving members are divided into compartments by a plurality of dividers, with the dividers being received within slots extending through the shelving members. The size of the compartments is adjustable by modifying the spacing of the shelving members and placement of the dividers.

Abstract: An open top support base for articles such as steel flat files, desk tops, and the like. The open top support base comprises a pair of opposing side panels, a back panel and a bottom shelf panel each extending between the side panels, a pair of leg weldments extending along the bottom edge and parallel with each side panel, and a pair of support braces attached to the top edge of each side panel and extending parallel thereto. The article may thus be rested upon or secured to the open top support base to elevate the article from the floor, or to provide a work surface or suitable height for a person to work while seated.

Abstract: A data carousel stand for accessible storage of data-holding materials is disclosed, having a base, a hollow vertical central hub for adjustably supporting a hollow vertical newel. One or more data carousels is rotatively mounted on the newel, each carousel comprising a plurality of radial arms in vertically adjustable offset stacked array. Each arm has a slidable upwardly extending bracket on each side which cooperate to hold data-containing materials therebetween.
