  • Publication number: 20230363556
    Abstract: The invention involves a beverage station and bar. The beverage station and bar is constructed from lightweight blow molded panels secured to a metal frame. This construction provides a structure that can be shipped to homes and assembled on site. Ballast containers that utilize locally sourced ballast material are securable within the base of the beverage station and bar to provide stability and reduce the tendency of the beverage station and bar to tip from users leaning against the structure during use.

  • Patent number: 8069820
    Abstract: The instant invention is directed to a pet shelter for domestic pets. More specifically, the instant invention is a pet shelter constructed from a plurality of plastic panels each having integral connectors. The panels are constructed and arranged to be shipped and/or stored in a nested or stacked arrangement to reduce space requirements and shipping costs. The integral fasteners formed onto the panels intermesh to allow the panels to be snapped together without the need for additional fasteners or tools.

  • Patent number: 7891678
    Abstract: A wagon assembly for carrying items and materials typically used in lawn and garden care. The wagon assembly has a wheeled unitary body construction that forms a storage compartment. A storage bin can be placed inside the compartment or beneath and external the storage compartment. A lid is positionable over the storage compartment having recesses formed within the lid for holding of various items including a cushion, the recesses each having a drain to avoid the collection of water. A handle is provided by use of a flexible and detachable pull strap. The strap is adjustable in length and allows pulling of the wagon at most as well as hands free operation when desired.

  • Patent number: 7798341
    Abstract: The present assembly provides a suspended shelving system. The shelving system includes a shelving panel supported by a plurality of hanger members. The shelving panel includes a plurality of longitudinal members constructed of wire or plastic. A plurality of cross members are arranged substantially transverse with respect to the longitudinal members and generally parallel with respect to each other. At least a portion of the longitudinal members and the cross members are bonded together at crossing points to comprise the shelving panel. A plurality of hanger members are rotatably secured to the cross members positioned at the distal ends of the shelving member so that they may be rotated between a storage position that is generally parallel to the underside surface of the shelving member for shipment and storage, and a support position that is substantially perpendicular to the upper surface of the shelf for suspending the shelf from an overhead member.

  • Publication number: 20100162635
    Abstract: The present invention includes a system or kit of injection molded and extruded panels and other components having integrated connectors which combine together to form an enclosure, preferably in the form of a gazebo. Optional kits are available to provide the gazebo with screen and/or solid enclosures. The support posts, roof rafters, roof supports, roof panels and walls are formed of injection molded plastic to interlock with one another without the need for separate I-beam connectors. The system incorporates a minimum number of components to construct a gazebo type enclosure by integrally forming connectors in to the injection molded components and panels. This minimizes the need for separate extruded or molded connectors to assemble the enclosure. The symmetry of the support posts, roof rafters, roof supports, roof panels and other components also minimizes the shapes of the components and simplifies construction of the gazebo.

  • Patent number: 7581357
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system, or kit, of injection molded panels having integrated connectors which combine to form an enclosure, commonly in the form of a utility shed. The panels are formed of injection molded plastic to interlock with one another without the need for separate I-beam connectors. The ends of the wall panels have cavities to accept both roof and floor outwardly projecting locking bosses for interlocking cooperative engagement which serve to rigidly connect the components together. The symmetry of the wall, roof, floor and door components also minimizes component shapes and simplifies enclosure construction.
