  • Patent number: 6196401
    Abstract: A shelving system includes a shelf and support frame and a novel structure for interconnecting the rails that form the shelf. Specifically, a first shelf rail includes a downwardly depending tongue and an outwardly projecting tab. A second shelf rail includes a side wall and a shelf supporting shoulder. A first slot is provided in a shoulder for receiving the tongue and a second slot is provided in the sidewall for receiving the tab. The tab and tongue are provided in substantially perpendicular planes and when connected the bottom wall of the first rail rests upon the shoulder of the second rail. A crosstie further secures the structure.

  • Patent number: 5797502
    Abstract: A universal, height-adjustable bracket is provided for mounting a gravity flow rack product delivery system to an upright post of a support framework. The bracket includes an elongated body having first and second sets of fastening tabs projecting from opposite sidewalls thereof. The first and second set of fastening tabs are longitudinally offset from one another in order to provide relative height adjustability. A channel for engaging and supporting the gravity flow rack system extends transversely across the elongated body between the first and second sidewalls and sets of fastening tabs. Accordingly, by rotating the bracket 180.degree. about the longitudinal axis, the bracket may be used to cooperatively engage either right or left handed upright posts.

  • Patent number: 5623919
    Abstract: When a person is sitting in a chair facing an outdoor campfire, the radiant heat created from the fire can only be felt on parts of a person's body directly exposed to the fire. Other parts of the body not directly exposed to the radiant heat, such as a person's rear thighs and back, will often feel cold in cool environmental conditions. Using the radiant heat generated from a campfire, a flexible sheet with a textured reflective surface, attached to the top rail backrest of a chair and to the bottom rail between the two front legs of a chair forming a curve or an arc under the chair, will reflect the radiant heat in an upward direction warming those parts of a person's body not normally receiving heat. The sheet is shaped to fit between the rear legs of generally any typical outdoor folding chair.
