Abstract: A non-human primate restraint system comprising a complex of a manipulating chamber and a restraint chamber. The system provides a humane, interactive, and safe structure and methods for leading non-human primates from a chute or a cage, through the manipulating chamber, and into a restraint chamber. The restraint chamber is removably attached to the manipulating chamber. The restraint chamber has an upper part with a screen, a middle portion with slots to accommodate platforms, and a lower section with a screen. The screens can be retracted or removed to access either the top portion or lower portion of the NHP.

Abstract: A holder for storing, warming and serving flat food items such as tortillas and flatbreads includes two or more round shelves spaced apart in a food storage area within a generally cylindrical housing. The holder is suitable for use in the refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher. The holder may also include a top cover or lid and a moveable door to enclose the food items on the shelves.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a first housing having a first cam and a second housing having a second cam. A link is configured and disposed to slidingly engage these cams. The first housing moves with respect to the second housing between a first position (that comprises a stacked configuration and a second position (that comprises a deployed configuration). The aforementioned link can include a pair of substantially collinear slots disposed therethrough. The cams, in turn, can be at least substantially pear shaped and can be disposed offset to one another and substantially longitudinally parallel to one another as well. Also if desired, such cams can be disposed on interior surfaces of both housings, and on both sides of the housings as well.

Abstract: An engine mounting device for a motor vehicle having a casing attached to the engine, a flexible annular cylinder disposed inside the casing with a longitudinal axis generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle body, a shaft attached to the vehicle body and disposed within the annulus of the flexible cylinder, whereby the casing and the flexible annular can move along the shaft in response to a frontal impact on the vehicle, and a retainer mounted on the shaft and arranged to prevent movement of the casing along the shaft below a predetermined threshold force on the casing.

Abstract: In a system for the storage of objects in a container configured as a cupboard, a drawer or other similar structures, the objects are stored in a plurality of compartments of various sizes forming a grid and filling out the base surface of the container. Each compartment is configured as a square or rectangular container open at least on one side and said containers are arranged in a plurality of levels, behind or on top of each other while being arranged, on each level next to each other and/or on top of each other. The containers may be pushed sideways individually or by groups so as to create a void which facilitates access to the farthest row of containers in the bottom or down in the container. This system is particularly appropriate for storage, warehouse deposition of sorting installations.

Abstract: A carousel portable pantry including a cabinet with a pair of outer and inner storage cylinders having shelves each concentrically mounted within said cabinet and each independently rotatable one from the other, and a vertical opening in both said cabinet and outer storage cylinder for access to the shelves of said outer and inner storage cylinders.

Abstract: A cabinet arrangement for the storage and use of cassette-like objects such as microfilm boxes or data tape cartridges with the cabinet in one form intended to be placed upon a table adjacent a person's work station, and in another stacked form intended to be used from a floor position. The cabinet arrangement comprises a plurality of open-faced boxes individually rotatively mounted on a swivel base assembly. The boxes can be aligned in any combination of the open-faced sides facing outwardly for access to the microfilm boxes or inwardly for prevented access to the cassette-like objects. A number of constructions are shown for fixing the boxes against rotation in any such combination.

Abstract: A two-piece cover for covering and enabling access to an open topped cabinet box, has a retaining lid and a captured lid which are interconnectable in either of a pivotal or sliding configuration; either of the lids may be separately opened and both are self-closing when pivotally connected, and either of the lids is slidably openable when the lids are slidably connected; a new retainer clip is provided for interconnecting the lids and for serving as at least part of a stop structure for limiting pivotal or sliding opening. A pin is alternatively provided in place of the retainer clip; the cover is sanitary and especially well suited for the storage bins of ice machines.
