Abstract: The grill frame includes a pair of elongated shaft members which are resiliently connected at their first ends so that upon the insertion of the first end into the abdominal cavity of the fowl, the shaft members may be urged against the opposite sides of the abdominal cavity with sufficient force to enlarge the abdominal cavity laterally and to disperse the meat of the fowl to substantially the equal plane. The method of insertion is such that the shaft members are held in substantially close proximity as the first end is inserted through the cavity and the shaft members are allowed to expand outwardly as the first end of the apparatus extrudes out of the rear of the cavity with the apparatus in position within the fowl.

Abstract: A glue gun organizer including a metal base for glue to drip on, a U-shaped member for holding the glue gun, a specific area for the storage of extra glue sticks, a tray for the presentation of parts, a pair of members for storage of an electric cord and a wall mounting bracket for hanging the equipment out of the way.

Abstract: A display stand for supporting either a rigid or non-rigid doll or other inanimate human-shaped figure. A flat base and vertical post balance the figure in an upright position. The vertical post telescopes to adjust for the height of the figure. A bracket and a belt extend from the post and provide further support for the figure. The bracket fits under and against the figure's pelvis, providing upward support, and may be moved along the vertical post to adjust for the length of the figure's legs. The belt fits around the figure's torso. Both the bracket and the belt are sufficiently flexible so as to adjust for the figure's circumference and to not mar its surface or weaken its structure. A variation of the display stand permits the figure to be held in a range of positions varying from vertical to horizontal.

Abstract: In a displaceable, electric distribution device for building sites or similar consisting of a main section holding current distribution equipment, other equipment and/or instruments, the main section (2) is mounted in a rack, which when the device (1) is uninfluenced by outer forces assumes specific positions for use. By means of relatively small outer forces, the device can nevertheless be moved from one position for use to another by rolling the rack (3). The rack (3) can comprise two substantially equal sets of rockers (10a, 10b) arranged parallel to each other on either side of the main section (2). The rockers (10a, 10b) can have a generally oval shape or the shape of an ellipsis. Aside from assuming specific positions for use and allowing rolling of the device, the rack can in overturned position allow for the possibility of stacking several devices on top of each other.

Abstract: A disposable bag is supported from two rectangular wire formed loops defining a stand which extend transversely to one another in a pivotal C-like relation. The invention provides for two horizontally disposed elements which cooperatively support a bag and stand cover when it is in an upright position. Also provided are rolling means for facilitating the transport of the stand, and an integral handle unit to enhance maneuverability. A removable shelf, to support the bottom of the shelf is also disclosed.

Abstract: A collapsible frame for supporting a container is manufactured from two loops formed from a single length of wire which are intertwined to form a handle and sprung to form base members which are yieldably urged apart. An inwardly narrowed neck portion is formed intermediate the handle and the base members to provide points of support for the container. A containment loop encompasses the neck portion of the frame and inwardly urges the points of support against the container as it is pushed into position within the containment loop. The base members are capable of being pressed into a planar assembly when the container is removed to allow a plurality of similarly constructed frames to be compactly stacked.

Abstract: A point-of-sale rack for display and open-stock storage of plastic (acrylic) picture holders. Preferably fabricated from wire stock, the rack provides a novel tripartite support system for the display of each size of frame offered for sale, and, directly underneath each displayed frame, means for compactly supporting a supply of the frames displayed. The rack may be fabricated readily for either counter-top or floor usage, depending on the number of tiers of display/storage couples that are desired.

The stands may be nested and stacked together by placing the rings on top of each other and supporting the whole assembly on the stand with the longest legs. Individually the stands may be used to support pots and the like as a double-boiler, for cooling a pot or for warming the pot from a flame beneath like a chafing dish.

Abstract: A support platform for a kitchen dish drainer unit which conserves kitchen counter space. The support platform is formed of a continuous length of shaped wire bent in the form of a rectangular-shaped rim, the corners of which are each bent to form a U-shaped leg. Each leg is bent at its base to form a U-shaped toe lying in a plane generally parallel to the plane of the rim. An extension leg is bolted to one tow to raise it a distance above a kitchen counter, with the remaining three toes rested on the top edges of the border flange of the counter.

Abstract: A collapsible plant support is provided having a plurality of elongated wire-rod legs which are rigidly secured together at one end. Several helically-wound wire springs of normally elongated configuration are also provided with each spring having the opposite ends adapted to be interconnected and thus form circular rings. These rings are positioned at vertically spaced elevations on the legs which are relatively divergent from their connected ends when the plant support is positioned upright on the ground. Each of the elongated legs is formed with longitudinally spaced notches into which the circularly configured wire springs are positioned and supported on the divergent legs having their free end portions inserted into the ground. Collapsing of the plant support for storage is readily accomplished by first pulling the legs from the ground thereby releasing the rings. The rings are then disconnected at their ends whereupon they again assume the relaxed, elongated configuration.

Abstract: A display unit having a plurality of adjustably mounted shelves, and a plurality of holder units adjustably mounted on each shelf, each holder unit comprising a base and one or two elongated holders mounted on and projecting upwardly from each base, each holder being of such dimensions as to fit within a wound roll or fabric and being long enough to support the roll on end in a substantially vertical position.

Abstract: A metal rod or bar frame configured to provide an elongated base member with opposed laterally directed end members. The base member includes a first surface which, when upwardly directed, is defined by two angularly related planar portions oppositely inclined downward and outward from a central point, the end members projecting vertically upward therefrom in the manner of book ends. The lower surface of the base member parallels the upper surface and, upon an inverting of the device, provides an elevated wide trough for the support of an open book.
