Abstract: A pass-through medications cabinet is built into a wall of a hospital room and can be accessed from the room interior or from the hallway. A frame mounted in the wall supports a rack or box containing patient drawers or bins, arranged in a vertical stack parallel to the wall or in a horizontal row. There is a hall-side door that can be opened by pharmacy staff to place pre-loaded bins into respective compartments, and one or more room-side doors or drawers that may be opened by nurse staff for administering the medications to patients. The hallway door and room doors interlock to prevent their being opened at the same time to safeguard patient privacy. The system maintains an audit trail of access to the bins.

Abstract: A controlled access dispensing unit arranged to permit selective access to supply items within a portion of the dispensing unit. Preferably, the dispensing unit includes a cabinet arranged to hold a plurality of supply items. An enclosure assembly desirably includes a first panel and a second panel positioned in a plane substantially parallel to and aligned with a plane defined by the first panel. The two panels each comprise an opening that together defines a variable size and moveable access opening.

Abstract: A modular greenhouse enclosure is formed by mounting on a conventional shelf storage unit having spaced shelves supported on upright posts a rigid frame on which an impervious transparent cover is supported. The cover overlies and extends past the side edges of the shelves to define the enclosure. A vertical gap opening in the cover gives access to the shelves within the enclosure, and this opening can selectively be closed. The frame can be modular, formed from a plurality of posts and connectors, generally with three posts secured to each connector held angled relative to one another. Some of these frame posts can be connected to the shelf unit to hold the frame overlying the shelf unit. Several storage units can be positioned proximate one another for increasing shelf capacity, with a single frame and cover overlying all units.

Abstract: The present invention is a container assembly for use with a rapid transfer port. The rapid transfer port (RTP) is of the type having an RTP door, an RTP circular seal around the door, and spaced RTP indentations. The RTP requires rotation of the device being attached thereto. The container assembly includes a circular ring member having an interface end and a bearing system end. The interface end includes a first set of ring member protrusions for engagement with RTP indentations of an RTP and a container assembly circular seal for providing sealing engagement of the ring member and the RTP. A circular enclosure door is concentrically positioned within the ring member. The enclosure door includes a first set of enclosure door indentations for engaging associated RTP door protrusions and a second set of enclosure door indentations for engaging a second set of ring member protrusions. The container assembly circular seal further provides sealing engagement of the ring member and the enclosure door.

Abstract: A commodity display auxiliary base of the present invention consists of a shelf plate 3 having a plurality of grooves 2 provided on one side at predetermined intervals and parallel to one another, and of an auxiliary base 7 constituted such that a plate 4 is bent on an arbitrary portion at a predetermined angle and engagement pieces 6 detachably engaged with the grooves 2 of the shelf plate 3 on both ends in a direction perpendicular to the angle 5 thus formed. The shelf plate 3 is disposed on a commodity display surface at an arbitrary angle using a base or the like and a plurality of the auxiliary bases 7 are engaged with the grooves 2 of the shelf plate 3 in various directions, whereby various outlooks convenient to display of commodities on the shelf plate 3 can be created.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide an elevated screen which can be a simple screen or combined with a desk or a table. The elevated screen includes a screen base which sets a inner space in the center, and there is a elevating device in the inner space, and a rotating shaft of the elevating device is set at an outside surface of the screen base to be operated by users, and a bottom of the spacing board is connected to the elevating device in the inner space to be driven up and down by the elevating device, and a top of the spacing board forms a cover, wherein, the inner space of the screen base has various type to match the shape of the spacing board.

Abstract: A vandal-proof vending machine includes a rigid frame housed within an opening of a building with a cabinet of the dispensing machine being housed entirely within the building and thereby being rendered inaccessible from the exterior. A front opening of the frame to which products housed in an interior of the cabinet can be viewed is protected by a laminate of tough transparent material and tough metal mesh. The cabinet has rollers at a bottom thereof and one corner is secured by pivots to a side of the frame. The cabinet can thereby be rolled between a closed dispensing position and an opened servicing position.

Abstract: A protective member is disposed in a contracted state thereof within an exhibition case for an exhibition apparatus. When a larger shaking of the exhibition case than a predetermined level is detected by a detector, an actuation mechanism expands the protective member in response to the detection of shaking. The protective member thus expanded surrounds an exhibit.

Abstract: Presented is a vending machine with an outer door, a space for merchandise capable of being seen through the outer door and filled with merchandise, and with additional units, as for example coin changer/coin counter, etc., adjacent to the merchandise space, which are lockable with the outer door. The merchandise space is cooled by a cooling assembly and the vending machine displays means that reduce cold losses during operation, in particular at the time of dispensing merchandise, removal of merchandise and/or refilling with merchandise. In this manner, it is also possible to offer and sell with the vending machine cooled merchandise, in particular low-temperature-cooled merchandise.

Abstract: An enclosed hanging wardrobe is suspended from elevated supports within the confines of a cubicle having walls on either side and an open face. The hanging wardrobe can be reciprocally drawn out of the cubicle in cantilevered suspension. The hanging wardrobe has fabric drapes which can be drawn by means by a cord and pulley system operated by a crank. With the drapes drawn open, a carrier can be reciprocally drawn forward in the hanging wardrobe and a clothes rack suspended therefrom is reciprocally movable along the carriage tracks projecting forward from the underside of the carrier.

Abstract: A pre-assembled array of corner shelves is fastened together by three flexible lines threaded through apertures in the shelves so that they can hang downwardly from a single hook mounted in the corner between two intersecting walls. The lines are so disposed to form an acute angle with the corner line toward the frontmost edge of the shelf disposed in the corner, thereby to force the shelf against the corner and adjacent walls by its own weight and that of objects on it to support the structure and prevent it from slipping or sliding. The spacing may be rearranged simply by moving the lines and the shelves may be readily leveled in the same manner. The shelf array is simply removed for cleaning walls or the shelves without loosening any mounting hardware.

Abstract: First and second generally U-shaped frame sections each including a pair of generally parallel arms interconnected at one pair of corresponding base ends by means of a connecting structure extending and connected therebetween are provided. The first frame section includes structure for support from a vertical support surface with at least the opposite ends of the connecting structure spaced outwardly from the support surface and the other pair of free ends of the arms projecting horizontally outwardly away from the support surface. The arms of the second section are resiliently urged toward slightly outwardly divergent positions and yieldable inwardly toward each other into substantially parallel positions aligned with the free ends of the arms of the first section.
