OVERTURN PREVENTING DEVICE
Providing an overturn preventing device which can successfully prevent overturn of an article. The overturn preventing device includes a damper mounted between a piece of furniture and a ceiling and a setting member connected to both ends of the damper. The setting member has a first setting part body and a second setting part body. The first and second setting part bodies and of the setting member are spread when the overturn preventing device is mounted between the furniture and the ceiling. The setting member assumes such a shape as to extend in one direction when the first and second setting part bodies and are unspread.

End effector
An end effector for the packaging industry comprises has a frame, a bridge on top of the frame, a rack and pinion assembly, actuation rods, carrier assemblies, and vacuum ports. The rack and pinion assembly is configured to be operatively connected to a robot's rotatable shaft, and to the actuation rods. The actuation rods are fixedly connected to one or more of the carrier assemblies. As the robot's shaft rotates, the rack and pinion assembly is actuated, which actuates the actuation rods, which causes the carrier assemblies fixedly connected to the actuation rods to move longitudinally along the frame. Each carrier assembly includes a carrier block and at least one pick-up member. Each carrier block has at least one arm with a grabber to cooperate with an adjacent arm with grabbers of an adjacent carrier block(s) of the same subgroup.
TELEVISION SUPPORT TILT MECHANISM
An apparatus includes a head portion, an undercarriage portion, and a telescopic portion configured to adjustably move into a plurality of different lengths. A first end of the head portion is rotatably attached to a first end of the undercarriage portion and a second end of the undercarriage portion is rotatably attached to a first end of the telescopic portion. A second end of the head portion is rotatably attached to a second end of the telescopic portion. In a first position, the telescopic portion has a first length of the plurality of different lengths and the head portion and the undercarriage portion form a first angle. In a second position, the telescopic portion has a second length of the plurality of different lengths and the head portion and the undercarriage portion form a second angle different from the first angle.
Storage assembly with pull-out arrangement
A storage assembly includes a storage cabinet having an interior space and a slide-out storage assembly operable between open and closed positions relative to the storage cabinet. The slide-out storage assembly includes a base assembly having one or more integrally formed mounting brackets formed thereon. One or more caster assemblies are mounted to the one or more integrally formed mounting brackets of the base assembly of the slide-out storage assembly. The one or more caster assemblies are vertically adjustable along the one or more integrally formed mounting brackets of the base assembly. The slide-out storage assembly further includes a faceplate coupled to the base assembly and adjustably associated with the storage cabinet.
PIVOTING SHELF GUARD
A shelf guard comprises a guard pivotable about a pivot point and a support configured to secure the guard to a shelf. The guard rotates between a first and a second position. In the first position, the guard allows access to the shelf and is balanced in a stationary position. In the second position, the guard prevents items from falling off the shelf. The guard's pivot point can be offset from the back of the shelf. The guard can rotate through an arc of more than 90° between the first and second positions.

MODULAR DISPLAY SYSTEM
One embodiment provides a system, including: an image display device comprising: a front side, a back side, a top side, a bottom side, a left side, and a right side; and a first guide mechanism disposed on the back side; a housing, comprising a base and an upper element; the upper element comprising: a groove running lengthwise and open at both ends; a back-plate running lengthwise and adjacent to the groove; and the back-plate having a second guide mechanism; wherein the image display device interfaces with the housing via the first guide mechanism and the second guide mechanism. Other aspects are described and claimed.
REPOSITIONABLE STAND FOR PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE
A repositionable stand for a portable electronic device includes at least one manually bendable layer material (e.g., sheet steel) forming bendable regions extending between multiple rigid body elements, and further includes a support platform proximate to one end. The bendable regions permit the stand to be arranged in a variety of positions. The support platform, which may be bendable, is suitable for securely receiving portable electronic devices of various thicknesses, and may include a forked end including peripheral regions separated by a medial gap to permit a portable electronic device receive a charging cable.
Anti-tip roller
A file cabinet with a roller positioned on the bottom of the cabinet in proximity to a front edge of the cabinet to prevent the cabinet from tipping over when acted on by a force generally perpendicular to the front edge. The roller also provides a method of moving the file cabinet by rolling the file cabinet.
