Abstract: A shelving assembly (500) includes a pair of sheet metal sidearms (506) having ladder connectors (508) releasably coupled to cantilever ladders (504). An LED strip (520) having spaced apart LEDs is positioned immediately behind a refrigerator shelf (516). A rear form (522) is used for securing the LED strip (520) to a refrigerator shelf (516). The LED strip (520) is powered through electrical contact modules (524) which conductively connect to low voltage power strips (534).

Abstract: The specification discloses a method for containing spills on shelving and the like, and the resulting support members made in accordance with the method, by providing the generally flat top surface of a support with a hydrophobic surface which is arranged in a spill containment pattern and which is generally in the plane of the top surface of the support. The majority of the top surface of the support consists of one or more spill containment areas which are of a non-hydrophobic nature and which are bounded by the hydrophobic surfaces, such that spills on the shelving collect in the non-hydrophobic spill containment area or areas and are prevented from spreading by the hydrophobic surfaces.

Abstract: A cooling tube system (100) is formed as part of a refrigerator shelf (102). The shelf (102) includes a frame (104) having a series of frame wires (106). Secured above and supported on the frame wires (106) are a set of cooling tubes (114). A fan (132) directs cool air generated from cooling air equipment (130) through vents (136) into the refrigerator interior (129). The air flows through rear hollow ends (140) of the cooling tubes (114). The cooling air (138) is directed toward the front (124) of the refrigerator (120).

Abstract: A shelving assembly (920) is disclosed, with the shelving assembly (920) including a series of heat stake ribs (926). The ribs (926) may be hot formed and made pliable so as to be flexed for purposes of providing additional retention and support to a glass shelf panel (928). The glass shelf panel (928) is also secured to a plastic rim (922). Heat stake pads (942) may be utilized with the heat stake ribs (926). The heat stake ribs (926) may be deformed against the corresponding heat stake pads (942) so as to provide support for the glass shelf panel (928).

Abstract: A handle rack (100) includes an oven rack (102) moveable between extended and retracted positions within an oven cavity. In one embodiment, a handle (116) has a rear handle brace (118) interconnected to support members (110) of the oven rack (102). A pair of handle sides (122) are interconnected to or otherwise integral with the rear handle brace (118), and extend perpendicularly to the support members (110). The handle (116) also includes a front handle brace (120), being elongated and substantially parallel to the rear handle brace (118). The handle sides (122) are integral with or otherwise interconnected to the front handle brace (120). The handle (116) is provided for purposes of manual manipulation in extending and retracting the oven rack (102) relative to the oven cavity.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a wound splashguard which includes a wound cover for blocking fluid splatter, and an adjustable fluid source mount for allowing movement of a fluid source from a first position to at least a second position to re-direct a fluid spray relative to the wound while the splash guard is maintained in a substantially stationary position. The invention is further directed to a method of using the adjustable mount which allows the practitioner to move the fluid source so that the fluid spray can irrigate a larger portion of a wound without having to move the splashguard thereby increasing irrigation efficiency and reducing the risks of needle stick injury.

Abstract: A medical instrument for expanding a cavity within a body to perform obstetrical and gynecological examinations and procedures, which includes a handle and pluralities of blades. One plurality of blades includes adjustable longitudinal blades for expanding the vaginal cavity in a vertical direction, and these blades are mounted upon the handle. Another plurality of blades includes adjustable latitudinal blades for expanding the vaginal cavity in a horizontal direction, and these blades are also mounted upon the handle.
