Abstract: A gravity feed shelf capable of allowing a distance between a plurality of guide rails to be easily adjusted includes an upper shelf member having a pair of side frames, a pair of cross bars fixed on an upper portion of the side frames, respectively, a pair of junction bars fixed on a lower portion of the side frames, and a pair of guide fixing members, each being disposed on the cross bar. The guide fixing members are used to easily adjust the distance between the guide rails, thereby expanding the range of containers to be store therein. Further, the gravity feed shelf includes a lower shelf member having a pair of U-shaped channels and a plurality of plane members. Each of the plane members has a first surface with a plurality of projections with a relatively low contact area and a second surface with a plurality of projections with a relatively large contact area, the first or the second surfaces being selectively utilized depending on the weight of the containers to be stored.

Abstract: A cable-guide trough has a set of like U-shaped cross wires aligned with one another and lying in respective generally parallel and longitudinally spaced planes so as to form a trough with a horizontal floor and two upright sides. A set of generally parallel longitudinal wires is joined to the cross wires at the floor and sides. One of the sets is formed at the floor in upper and lower layers vertically flanking the other of the sets at the floor. The wires are all of identical cross-sectional size and shape. Both sets of wires are formed as two layers in the trough floor to produce a four-layer floor. Each wire of the lower layer lies directly underneath a respective one of the wires of the upper layer. The one set can be the longitudinal wires or the cross wires in a three-layer system. Furthermore the one set can be formed in the trough sides as inner and outer layers horizontally flanking the other of the sets at the trough sides.

Abstract: A holder for taper's knives is an open grid structure defined by parallel pairs of spaced apart stringer pieces connected together with transverse joiner pieces. Pairs of stringers in an upper tier are aligned with associated pairs of stringers in a lower tier. Some of the stringer pieces sub-divide the slot courses defined by the spaces apart ones of stringers in each pair. Knives are inserted into the slots courses and hang down with a handle of the knife supported on top of the pair stringers. Support legs and carrying handles at opposite ends of the grid structure are constituted from others of the joiner pieces.

Abstract: A cap holder for supporting the brim of a baseball type cap. The cap holder includes a bracket supporting a cap support member. The cap support member is composed of a substantially continuous frame member defining a substantially U-shaped opening shaped and dimensioned to selectively receive and retain the brim of a cap when bent and positioned through the U-shaped opening.

Abstract: A metal deck is received on the front and rear beams of a conventional rack system and is specially configured to receive a conventional nine leg plastic pallet. Weight and cost efficiency in the deck is achieved by concentrating the deck mass in those segments of the deck which make contact with the legs of the plastic pallet, and more particularly by recognizing that the center row of pallet legs carries a greater fraction of the pallet load then each of the outside rows of pallet legs. Closely spaced parallel front to back wire sections define pallet leg row support segments for the three rows of posts or legs of a plastic pallet, distributing the load of each leg over multiple wire segments. Front to back wires with an upwardly opening v-section are connected by struts to the wires within each support segment. Thus a single truss is formed as a part of each side support segment, and two trusses are formed as a part of the center support segment.

Abstract: A metallic or hard plastic storage shelf including four vertical rods provided at each corner of one or more shelves, with the upper ends of the vertical rods including fasteners for direct securement of the storage rack to a pair of routinely spaced apart rafters, as located within a garage, attic, manufacturing plant, machine shop, or the like.

Abstract: An expandable rack for foodstuffs or other articles for temporary use after baking or cooking to allow the foodstuff to cool. The expandable rack consists of a plurality of tiers or layers which are slidably arranged with respect to one another such that the entire rack may be slid together to form a compact size for storage. A first layer or tier consists of a plurality of spaced, longitudinally extending rods surrounded by a continuous, formed member, to substantially provide a rectangular shape and having downwardly depending legs to elevate the same above a support surface. Each of the additional layers employs the same construction but is of reduced size to permit all layers to be slid together in underlying relation to the first layer. The structure for retaining the tiers or layers to one another and allow sliding therebetween is incorporated into each of the tiers and each tier has support legs.

Abstract: A modular system (1) including a series of parallel dividers (4,5) attached to a back wall grid (80). The dividers (4,5) and grid (80) are formed primarily of 0.25-inch wires welded together in an orthogonal grid pattern having a center to center spacing of approximately three inches. The modular storage system (1) can be mounted on a wheeled base (2) or directly to a wall (50) by brackets. The width of the modular storage system (1) can be increased indefinitely by extender rails (113) which may be added to the basic top rail (10) and bottom rail (47). Rails may be affixed together in the field by a wedge tube fastener (142). The fastener (142) is formed of a horizontal member (143) welded to two vertical, cantilevered metal strips (145, 146). A bolt (148) extends through the horizontal member (143) and into the interior region (147) formed between the two strips (145, 146).

Abstract: A food service system for supporting a tray includes a frame, a pair of legs pivoted to the frame, and a pair of heater supports pivoted to the legs. In a non-deployed state, the legs and heater supports lie in a common plane for compact transport and storage. In the deployed state, the legs diverge from the frame, and the heater supports extend in a plane below the frame.

Abstract: A merchandise display unit having a foot design supporting a rack which allows the display unit to be easily combined with up to three additional similarly formed display units. The feet of the display unit have front and rear supports projecting past corresponding front and rear sides of the supported rack. The rear supports are offset with respect to the front supports to allow two display units to be arranged back to back with the racks substantially aligned. The front and rear supports are also shaped so that the rear supports may be inserted through the front supports, thereby allowing third and fourth display units to be arranged transversely of the first and second display units. The feet not only provide a modular design, but also minimize the amount of floor space needed for the display arrangements.
