Abstract: The disclosure describes a portable garage with a ballast-containing base. The garage is assembled at a site without physical attachment thereto and disassembled for erection at another site. Each elongated base segment extending along the sidewall of the garage has a cavity therein for receiving ballast which stabilizes the structure. The bases have extensions which interlock and overlie connector portions. Apertures through the connectors have a metal sleeve housing support columns and, upon the sidewall being assembled, these columns are vertically disposed. Between support members a prefabricated roof is attached. The ballast-container is a lightweight, molded plastic construct of high-impact, UV resistant material. The base is equipped with suitable inlet and outlet ports for the addition and removal of ballast.

Abstract: The disclosure describes a portable garage with a ballast-containing base. The garage is assembled at a site without physical attachment thereto and disassembled for erection at another site. Each elongated base segment extending along the sidewall of the garage has a cavity therein for receiving ballast, which, after erection of the garage, is filled with water, sand or gravel. The weight thereof stabilizes the structure. The bases have extensions which interlock and overlie connector portions. Apertures through the connectors house support members and, upon the sidewall being assembled, these columns are vertically disposed. Between support members a prefabricated roof is attached. The ballast-container is a lightweight, molded plastic construct of high-impact, UV resistant material.

Abstract: A display device for a plurality of carpet samples is provided having a base; a rectangular frame slopingly mounted in the top portion of the base, the frame having a back frame member, a front frame member, and a pair of side frame members, the back frame member when assembled thereto, being elevated substantially above the front frame member;a plurality of bottom support rails interconnecting the medial portions of the front and the back frame members the bottom support rails having a rear portion descend substantially vertically from the back frame member, having a middle portion disposed substantially parallel to the side frame members, and having a front portion extending horizontally to the front frame member; and, a plurality of sample-holding compartments mounted thereon, each compartment forming a pigeonhole for one of the carpet samples with the samples being arrayed in a waterfall display.

Abstract: Adjustable display apparatus comprising a pair of laterally spaced side supporting elements, each having an elongated front leg, an elongated rear leg, an upper section joined to the upper ends of the front and rear legs, and a lower section joined to the front and rear legs near the lower ends thereof. Elongated support bars are removably connected to the upper and lower sections of the supporting elements and are positioned near the rear legs of the supporting elements. A pair of support panels, such as aperture boards, are secured to the rear portions of the support bars to provide a mounting surface extending between the supporting elements. The support panels are overlapped at their inner ends and are removably connected together at their overlapped portions. Laterally adjustable display racks are removably mounted in vertically spaced relation on the support panels and are laterally adjusted to extend across the support panels from one supporting element to the other.

Abstract: An unbreakable basket detachably coupled to a nestable shopping cart, has vertical and horizontal plastic ribs, certain ones protecting a detachably mounted sign on the forward face. The open end of the basket has a continuous rolled rim which enhances structural ridigity of the basket and protects the shopping cart and the sign. The upper end of the basket is mounted to the shopping cart by S-hooks. Recesses in the basket prevent the S-hooks swinging and facilitate assembly and disassembly.Retainer receiving members arranged along the rearward end snap fittingly receive a plastic retainer securing the basket to the cart and preventing the basket from swinging. The vertical ribs and rolled bumper rim removably receive and support the sign. The basket is tapered to permit nesting during shipment or storage. Advertising material and/or messages are printed on both sides. An angle member along the bottom of the basket behind the sign urges goods away from the sign.

Abstract: A plastic ornament and a method of making the ornament. Plastic pellets are placed in the holes of a mesh according to a predetermined pattern, each hole being sized to accommodate a single pellet. The pellets and mesh are heated until the pellets begin to fuse together. The mesh is then separated from the fused pellets. The fused pellets may be heated further until the plastic ornament achieves the desired smoothness.
