  • Patent number: 5350057
    Abstract: A display device that can be used singularly for securing a single open-faced container on a shelf for display of and access to the container contents or in multiples to secure any number of like open-faced containers on a shelf for display of and access to the contents of each container. The display device includes a frame defining an access opening. The frame is dimensioned to surround the open face of the container on which the frame is to be mounted. The display device further includes a releasable lock for removably securing the frame to the open-faced container, and an anchor for attaching the frame to the shelf when the display is in use.

  • Patent number: 5065556
    Abstract: An office space dividing partition having an electrical raceway. The raceway includes an extruded plastic spine having a vertical web; a top portion which includes an extruded mounting slot; a bottom portion which includes first and second extruded grooves and a noise seal; and, an intermediate portion which defines four passageways for communication and power wiring. First and second extruded plastic side panels are telescoped into engagement with the first and second extruded grooves of the spine. An extruded panel-to-raceway connector connects the spine to the bottom edge of an office space dividing panel. Raceway stabilizers extend outwardly from the spine to engage support posts which support the panels. Raceway shrouds, which conceal the posts adjacent to the ends of the raceways, are positionally keyed to the spine for accurate mating with the side panels of the raceway.

  • Patent number: 4769199
    Abstract: A U-shaped raceway having bottom and side walls formed as substantially rigid plastic panels, and flexible plastic hinges integrally joined between the lower edges of the side walls and the adjacent edges of the bottom wall. The plastic hinges are soft and flexible, and of substantially less hardness than the walls. The plastic hinges extend across the thickness of the walls. The raceway is formed as a dual extrusion so that the hinges are integrally joined to the rigid walls. During the extruding step, a rigid bridge structure is also extruded so as to span transversely across the hinge outwardly from one of the surfaces of the panels to maintain dimensional stability across the hinge. The bridge structure is severed from the panels following the extrusion operation.

  • Patent number: 4430073
    Abstract: An improved surgical suction probe includes a tubular probe portion and a tubular handle portion joined together to define an internal bore. A reciprocable one-piece valve is disposed within the bore and is movable between flow and non-flow positions for regulating flow of material through the probe. The components of the probe may be easily and inexpensively fabricated from plastic or other suitable material, thus providing a suitable suction probe arrangement with the necessary operational characteristics which may be fabricated inexpensively for single use service.
