Abstract: A bin system includes a plurality of bins arranged in stacks, wherein each of the bins in a stack includes a first element which interlocks with a second element in a lower bin in a stack of bins. The interlock holds the upper bin in a defined position on the lower bin. The first element includes a projection and the second element includes a lateral recess in a side wall of the bin. The system further includes two cross beams for supporting the stacks of bins, wherein the first element of the lowermost bin of a stack of bins is received between the two cross beams. The first element may comprise at least one additional projection arranged to engage an inner side of the side wall for additional support. The interlock between the first and second elements provides a self stacking function in that the interlock retains the upper bin on the lower bin.

Abstract: A display system for product stored in bins includes a first track member which can be fixed to an elongate support member, and a second track member which can be fixed to the first track member in a selected one of a plurality of relative positions to form a track having a height dimension which is dependent on the relative position selected. A plurality of product holders can be secured side-by-side in the track, the relative position of the track members being selected dependent on the height dimension of the product holders. A plurality of bins can be arranged side-by-side on shelves adjacent to the track, the elongate support member preferably being fixed to the distal end of a cantilever beam.

Abstract: A clipboard may be assembled from a backboard and a clip assembly by sliding the clip assembly onto the top edge of the backboard. The clip assembly and the backboard are shaped so that the clipboard assembly has a substantially continuous contour along its top edge. Specifically, the top edge of the backboard is spaced away from the remainder of the top edge in the area where the clip assembly is attached. The amount of spacing away corresponds to the thickness of a lip that depends from the clip assembly and engages the top edge or the backboard in the area where the clip assembly is attached. The clip assembly is retained on the backboard by flanged rails that engage slots in the backboard and by ramped projections that engage detents and the backboard.

Abstract: A modular display system comprises a plurality of identical modules. Each module includes a vertical mounting surface, a pair of sidewalls, top surface and a bottom surface lying in planes which extend at right angles to the mounting surface. A pair of top rails lie above the top plane and form outward facing channels. A pair of bottom rails extend inward from respective sidewalls just above the bottom plane, each bottom rail engaging in a respective channel when two modules are assembled one above the other. The inner surfaces of at least one of the top rails and the bottom rails converge toward the top or bottom plane at an acute angle so that the inner surfaces of the top rails are received against the inner surfaces of the bottom rails in a press fit. The modules are latched in this position by a detent and shoulder arrangement.

Abstract: A manual trash compactor comprising a can for holding the trash, a lever arm, at least one coupling arm coupling the lever arm to the can, and a plunging arm connected to the lever arm. There is also a compression plate connected to the plunging arm wherein this compression plate is designed to compress garbage inside the can. Disposed on top of the can is a collar and a cover coupled to the collar. The cover is coupled to the collar via a rotatable hinge. In a first embodiment of the invention, the can is disposed in a slidable tray so that the can, is able to be stored in a closed compartment. In addition, disposed adjacent to the can in the tray is a bin for storing other materials such as recyclable bottles. Coupled to either the can or the tray is a support means for supporting the can above a surface such as a kitchen floor.

Abstract: A medallion for fixing to display devices. The medallion can contain a plate which has an outer rim and a plurality of brackets. Each of these brackets comprise an inner region, an outer region, and a notch disposed in the outer region of these brackets. There is also a backing plate for fixing this plate to the display device. The backing plate comprises a base for fitting into the outer region on the plurality of brackets. This base has an inner channel. There are also a plurality of wings coupled to the base. These wings fit into the inner region on the plurality of brackets. There are also a plurality of clips coupled to the base. These clips are for fitting into the notches on the brackets. To fix the medallion on this display device, there are a plurality of protrusions extending in from the base within the channel.

Abstract: A device for supporting objects for drying. This device contains a catch basin, for receiving fluid that drips off of these drying objects. Attached to the catch basin is a multi-part rack, wherein each part has a front end and a back end. The back end of each part of the multi-part rack is rotatably supported within the catch basin. In addition, there is also a complementary rack. This complementary rack is rotatably attached to the catch basin and extends in a substantially upright or vertical position. Both the multi-part rack and the complementary rack are comprised of a series of parallel extending slats that are spaced apart from each other to receive a plate between these parallel extending slats. These parallel extending slats are also designed to support a series of pots on either the multi-part rack or the complementary rack wherein these parallel extending slats allow water to drip down through the slats and into the catch basin.
