Abstract: A stabilizer box has a number of interconnected panels which automatically articulate to form a bottom which converts the box from a flat and knock-down shape into a cubical configuration. The box opens and the bottom locks in place simply by pushing on the opposite ends of the flat, knock-down shape. The top of the box is formed by four interconnected wedge or somewhat pie-shaped panels which snap down into the plane of the top of the cube responsive to a slight pressure of the thumb upon articulation panels. Each of the four wedge or somewhat pie-shaped top panels has a quarter circle, arcuate cutout, at the tip of the wedge or somewhat pie-shaped panels. The cutouts come together to form a variable circular opening when the top is set up.

Abstract: A walled refuse receptacle for receiving a paper bag. The side walls include retainer openings into which retainer teeth extend. When the tops of the side panels of a freshly inserted paper bag are pressed lightly outwardly, the side panel tops bend under the teeth. When the tops move past the teeth they bend back and engage the outer surfaces of the teeth, thereby maintaining the bag fully open and in proper position for use. Removal of the bag is the reverse of this procedure. The receptacle side walls project above the other walls to define handle anchorages about which the flexible handles of a plastic bag can be looped to support the plastic bag in open position. The receptacle is thus adapted to handle either paper or plastic bags.

Abstract: A florist's implement for temporarily stabilizing a flower or plant container or the like during transport is disclosed. The implement includes first and second square sheets of a flexible material hingedly connected to one another such that the sheets may be folded into superimposed juxtaposition to provide upper and lower sheets. The upper sheet is provided, on its upper face, with a series of scores in a predetermined pattern. There is first arranged a grid of scores equally spaced between and parallel to the square edges to obtain an array of squares. The number of scores is selected to obtain a junction of two mutually perpendicular scores at the center of the square sheet. The single central score which is directed generally normal to the hinge side of the sheet is heavier than the scores to which it is parallel and perpendicular and is sufficiently heavy as to permit ready manual separation along its length by hand.

Abstract: A support is constructed from a single, flat blank, e.g. of a resilient plastics material, which comprises an array of spaced, parallel tongues joined at their roots by a web and a base portion which is integral with the free end of one of the tongues and bendable relative thereto to a position where tabs on the remaining tongues can be passed through arcuate slots in the base. The tongues splay from the web so that some diverge downwardly while the rest converge downwardly to provide a cage-like enclosure adapted to hole a container for viscous material, such as a sauce bottle, in an inverted position. A projection on one end of the web engages a lug on its other end to hold the web in the shape of a ring, and the tabs lock in their associated slots by resuming a flat condition after being bent to pass through the arcuate slots.

Abstract: A bag holder for mounting on a vertical surface holds open a limp plastic film bag. The opening is maintained by holders fitting into the handle holes in the bag and spreading them apart.

Abstract: A stand for supporting a non-stick cooking liquid spray dispenser at a predetermined height above a heated cooking surface, such as a griddle, is disclosed. The stand, fabricated of an insulating material such as a high temperature plastic, is a generally tubular structure including a base section, an upper section for receiving and retaining the dispenser and a smaller diameter intermediate section joining the base and upper sections. The intermediate section defines a chamber in communication with the upper section for retaining sufficient air heated by the high temperature griddle to maintain the desired temperature level of the cooking liquid. Baffling disposed between the chamber and the base section deflects hot air rising from the griddle and provides radiative surfaces so that the temperature of the cooking liquid does not exceed a temperature range that is optimum for applying the liquid to the cooking surface by spraying.
