Abstract: A manual sorter and reproducing machine including the sorter. The sorter has a plurality of sheet receiving bins arranged one behind the other from front to back. The bins include sheet supporting surfaces which are oriented to provide efficient sheet stacking and jogging as well as ease of use and operator convenience. The sorter is adapted to be positioned adjacent the sheet output device of the machine with its front to back direction being transverse to the direction in which sheets are generally fed into or removed from the sheet output device.

Abstract: A paint chip display structure wherein a plurality of pocket members are arranged to define a series of vertically spaced, forwardly and upwardly opening pockets with edge retainer elements on the pocket members for receiving the side edges of a paint chip extending upwardly from a subjacent pocket with the lower portion of the paint chip removably carried by the subjacent pocket. The upper portion of the paint chip is releasably retained by the edge retainer structure to be exposed forwardly of the pocket member overlying the subjacent pocket member and may be frictionally retained therein by the springiness of the paint chip material. A control paint chip may be retained in the pocket to identify the chip to be retained in the subjacent pocket when all of the chips are removed from the subjacent pocket. The identifying chip is locked in the overlying pocket.

Abstract: This invention consists of a metal plate pickling rack which eliminates manual handling at several stages of the pickling operation, and provides a safety factor for the operator against contact with the pickling acid. The rack consists of an acid resisting metal rack in which the plates are contained in two opposite piles. The plates are spaced from each other, are supported at their bottom edges by alternately spaced notches in the opposite walls of the rack, and are supported at their top edges by leaning against a pair of removable rods centrally located in the rack. When the entire pickling operation is completed, the upper plate edge supporting rods are removed and the plates fall alternately out of the rack into a uniformally stacked pile which is ready for shipment or the next operation.

Abstract: A storage rack for accumulating and temporarily storing papers, such as old newspapers, wherein the rack is constructed of wire or rods.
