Abstract: An exemplary beverage cooler (10) includes an interior area (14) which has a plurality of shelves (26). At least some exemplary shelves are configurable such that a front portion (50) of the shelf is rotatably movable relative to a back portion (52) of the shelf. The front portion is rotationally movable between a flat shelf position in which the front portion is in co-planar relation with the back portion, and a tilted position in which the front portion extends an acute angle relative to the back portion. The front portion is also movable to a retracted position in which the front portion underlies the back portion. The exemplary shelf further includes a plurality of horizontally extending slots (98) in which removable inserts (58) are positionable. Opposed horizontal edges of the inserts include projections and recesses having different spaced configurations.

Abstract: A refrigerator (10) provides configurable storage in an interior area of a refrigerator door (16). Door shelves (32, 34) are releasably attachable to inside faces (20) of the door in a first configuration in which the door shelves hold items in a substantially vertical orientation, and in a second configuration in which the door shelves hold items in a tilted orientation. Foldout door shelves (64, 66) are rotatably positioned in operatively supported connection with the inside faces of the door. Each of the foldout door shelves is selectively movable between a retracted position in which the shelf is positioned adjacent to a vertically extending inside face of the door, and extended positioned in which an item supporting surface (68, 70) of the respective shelf extends outward to hold items in a tilted orientation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a piezoelectric touch-controlled faucet, falling under the technical field of automatic faucets. The faucet comprises a first end connected to a water supply source, a second end having a water outlet for the faucet, and a passage arranged between the first end and the second end for directing the water from the first end to the second end. The faucet further comprises an electronic valve arranged on the passage, and a touch area arranged on the external surface of the passage covering a certain area, wherein a piezoelectric sensor is arranged underneath the touch area, and an electronic control unit is connected to the piezoelectric sensor to receive signal from the piezoelectric sensor for controlling the electronic valve on and off. The electronic control unit may include an automatic time delaying unit.

Abstract: A chalk line assembly and a pair of spreader allow two spaced apart chalk lines to be marked simultaneously. A chalk line assembly includes a chalk line, a spool, a box, and a crank. The chalk line has two ends wound on the spool and a middle portion forming a bight having a first side, a second side and an outer end. The box confines the spool and provides a bearing therefore, confines a body of powdered chalk and includes an aperture for passage of the chalk line from the box. The crank is connected to the spool for rotating the spool to wind up the chalk line. A pair of spreaders include a first spreader for receiving the line middle portion from the spool and includes a pair of spaced apart ports through which the line middle portion passes. The second spreader is slidably connected to the bight outer end and includes a spaced apart pair of ports through which the chalk line passes.
