Abstract: An apparatus capable of moving a shiftable valve member into a closed position, the shiftable valve member mounted in a valve housing having a bore and being moveable between at least one open and at least one closed position relative to the bore, includes at least one elastically deformable member that extends at least partially around the circumference of the bore and is disposed at least partially in a cavity in the valve housing. Each elastically deformable member is elongated, has first and second ends and is connected to the shiftable valve member at one location and to the valve housing at at least one other location. Each elastically deformable member is torsionally loaded to provide biasing, closing force to the shiftable valve member to assist in moving the shiftable valve member into a closed position and retaining it in the closed position.

Abstract: Each tray in a plurality of 90 degree nestable and stackable trays is formed with a specific key portion along the upper edge of the end walls and a corresponding specific groove and web structure along the lower edge of the end walls. A first group of trays has a specific key structure different from a second group of the trays, each group of trays having its own key structure. Trays of a first group cannot be stacked in vertical alignment with trays of the second group, since the key structure of the first group is adapted to be received by the web structure of the first group, and not by the web structure of the second group, and vice versa.
