Abstract: A shingle includes a shingle neck, and a shingle body. A raised engagement and guide element (5) is disposed at the bottom side of the region of the shingle body (2) disposed remote relative to the shingle neck. The raised engagement and guide element (5) exhibits a raised engagement guide element (5) in the lower region of the shingle body (2). The raised engagement and guide element (5) exhibits a female mold like undercut zone (6) in the direction of the body (2) and disposed remote from the shingle neck. Correspondingly dimensioned male mold like undercut zones (7) are disposed at the two shingle shoulders (4). The width of the two shingle shoulders (4) corresponds in each case to about one half of the width of the raised engagement and guide element (5). Preferably, the shingle is a roof shingle.

Abstract: A hinge and an associated method of use are provided that enable one person to hinge a cabinet door relative to a cabinet aperture. The hinge has first and second hinge leaves, and the first hinge leaf is segmented so that a first segment is perpendicular to a second adjacent segment. The first segment of the first hinge leaf is provided with at least one hole which is preferably preliminarily engaged with a mounting screw member. After the second hinge leaf is conventionally mounted to the door by screws, the first hinge leaf is positioned at the cabinet aperture with the second segment overlying the aperture edge, and the preliminarily engaged mounting screw is advanced into the cabinet to an extent sufficient to position and support the first hinge leaf, the hinge and associated components. The first hinge leaf is then conventionally mounted to the adjacent cabinet wall by screws.

Abstract: A hinge and an associated method of use are provided that enable one person to hinge a pivotable member, such as a cabinet door, relative to an aperture in stationary structure, such as a cabinet, or vice versa. The hinge has first and second hinge leaves, and the first hinge leaf is provided with a hanger receiving aperture. After the second hinge leaf is mounted to the pivotable member by screws or the like, the aperture in the first hinge leaf is hung temporarily over a hanger that is preliminarily positioned and mounted in the stationary structure and the first hinge leaf is mounted to the stationary member. The hanger can be a headed protruding screw. After the mounting, the hanger may be removed.

Abstract: A desk structure is provided that is adapted for use in a modular work environment. The desk structure has a transparent portion in its top member and incorporates a pair of side walls, a bottom shelf, and a back brace. The desk structure is cooperatively associated with an underdesk adjustable monitor support assembly. The support assembly incorporates a shelf member and a pair of side supports and such are all preferably comprised of formed wire. Each side support is associated with desk components including adjacent portions of one side wall, the top member, the bottom shelf, and the back brace. The shelf member is adjustably associated with the side supports.
