  • Publication number: 20240115072
    Abstract: A decorative holder for foodstuff trays, tins, and pans is provided. The decorative holder includes a receptacle having a partially corrugated bottom wall, a pair of opposing side walls, and a pair of opposing end walls. The side walls and the end walls extend upwardly from an outer periphery of the corrugated bottom wall and terminate in a top edge. The decorative holder further includes a lid that is hingably coupled to the top edge of the receptacle and configured to pivot between an opened position and a closed position, the lid defining a central opening providing access to an interior region of the decorative holder when disposed atop the receptacle. The receptacle and the lid are configured to hold and generally encapsulate a foodstuff tray, tin, or pan therebetween.

  • Patent number: 11927250
    Abstract: An adjustable stroke mechanism has a housing with a central axis and a wall enclosing a cavity. At least one counterweight is movably disposed within the cavity. A mounting assembly is disposed within the cavity. The mounting assembly has a workpiece attachment mechanism. A stroke adjustor couples the at least one counterweight with the mounting assembly. The stroke adjustor enables the counterweight and mounting assembly to move with respect to one another such that a distance between the counterweight and the mounting assembly is variably adjusted which, in turn, variably adjusts a stroke radius of the workpiece attachment mechanism with respect to the central axis of the housing.

  • Publication number: 20210187695
    Abstract: An adjustable stroke mechanism for a random orbital machine including a housing having a wall enclosing a cavity, an adjuster ring surrounding the housing and having a first set of gear teeth along a first portion of an inner surface, and a second set of gear teeth along a second portion of the inner surface, a counterweight having gear teeth on an exterior surface disposed within the housing, and a bearing carriage having gear teeth disposed within the housing. At least one counterweight gear that meshes with the gear teeth of the counterweight and the first set of gear teeth of the adjuster ring, and at least one bearing carriage gear that meshes with the gear teeth of the bearing carriage and the second set of gear teeth of the adjuster ring, so that movement of the adjuster ring causes movement of both the counterweight and the bearing carriage.

  • Patent number: 8267249
    Abstract: A forward leaning, hinged-lid storage and dispensing box is described, suitable for use with flat, stacked articles such as index or playing cards, dry stiff articles and pads such as cleaning or burnishing pads, or the like. Minimally the box of the present invention comprises in combination; a back panel; side panels; a bottom panel; a front panel; a top panel; and, a lid hinged to the front panel that forms at least a portion of both the front and top panels of the closed box, and wherein the lid drops and opens forward on at least one hinged connection, and wherein the front panel is angled forward from vertical at least a few degrees. In this way, stacked flat articles loaded into the box will necessarily lean against and parallel to the inside surface of the front wall, ready for easy reach and removal one-at-a-time by the consumer.
