Water collecting pallet rack and method of fire protection
An open framework warehouse storage rack system for supporting articles on multi-tiered shelves within the wetting zone of an overhead fire sprinkler system. The storage rack system comprises one or more a longitudinally extending rack arrays. A falling water collection system is combined with some or all of the rack arrays. The falling water collection system includes any one of several water handling features that enhance the wetting of storage articles during a fire. One such feature is a scoop-like longitudinal water catcher that protrudes outwardly beyond the front and/or rear faces of the rack array. Another is a transverse intra-stanchion water diverter. Another is a transverse mid-span water diverter. Another is a gutter formed integrally in an uppermost beam. And another is a vertical flue catcher. The falling water collection system maximizes the amount of water that is applied directly to a fire inside the rack array.

Appliance with a base wall having a contact surface including at least three internal leveling extension platforms and method of use
An apparatus and method for easily and permanently leveling an appliance is described. The apparatus involves a modification to the appliance to support shims, and preferably the two-part adjustable leveling shims. Alternatively, a template for affixing two-part adjustable leveling shims is used between the appliance and the mounting surface.

Storage system
A storage system comprising a drawer frame and one or more boxes. The drawer frame comprises first and second guides with a U-shaped cross section, which is open towards the interior of the drawer frame such that flanges of a box can be inserted into the guides to thereby support the box slideably in the drawer frame. Clips are attached slideably to the guides and engage with the box through a clip connection device interacting with a box connection device of the box, which prevents the box from falling out of the frame.

Systems and methods for a hinge
A hinge is provided for hingedly connecting an enclosure door to an enclosure body. The hinge can include a set of hinge leafs, which can include a first leaf and a second leaf, a pin, and a fastener. The pin can extend from the first leaf and can be removably receivable within a pocket in the second leaf. The pin can have a groove extending inward from and around the periphery of the pin and positioned between the proximal pin end and the distal pin end. The fastener can extend into the pocket and at least partially into the groove when the hinge is in a locked configuration, inhibiting the separation of the first and second leafs, and removed from the groove when the hinge is in an unlocked configuration allowing the separation of the first and second leafs.

Storage chest
A storage chest has a base, a plurality of rails coupled to the base, and a side panel at each side coupled to the base between the rails. The base further includes a front panel coupled to the base between the side panel, a rear panel coupled to the base on a side opposite the front panel and between the side panels, and a cover movably coupled to the storage chest and configured to move from a closed position fully extending over the storage chest and substantially parallel to and opposite the base to an open position exposing an interior of the storage chest. The side, front, and rear panels and rails define openings providing access from an area exterior to the storage chest to the interior of the storage chest.
