RESILIENT SNAP CONNECTOR SYSTEM
The resilient snap connector system includes a resilient connector strap selectively coupled to a first connector and a second connector spaced from the first connector to form a bridged connection between the first and second connectors. In a typical use, the first connector is fixed to a deformable object, such as a tarp, and the second connector is fixed to another object, such as a hull. The resilient connector strap enables connection between the objects when the separation distance may be too long for normal engagement of the connectors by stretching to accommodate the separation. A pull tab is provided on the resilient connector strap to assist in the stretching and coupling.
Universal support hook
A universal support hook includes an elongated pin having a plurality of juxtaposed hangers rotatably mounted thereon. Each hanger includes a C-shaped gripping member with a hinge barrel at an upper end thereof. The hinge barrel includes a central, transverse bore that receives the pin to allow the hanger to freely rotate within a 360-degree range. When any desired number of hangers are raised to a vertical position, their C-shaped gripping members can be secured to a tubular or thin support structure, such as a passenger-seat tray, a closet rod, a chair frame or a shopping-cart handle. The remaining hangers freely hang from the pin to provide a hook for suspending handbags, jewelry items, garments and other similar personal items from the support structure.
Convertible tool case to a stepstool
A position adjustable support assembly is convertible from a tool case, to a step stool. A segmented position adjustable support assembly has a center assembly and a left and right assembly. The left and right assemblies are rotatable about the center assembly and the vertical supports of the center, left and right assemblies can be retained in base and top-receivers of a tool case. Retainers may secure the segmented assembly to the base and top. The top may convert to a top-step and the base may be utilized as a bottom step of a stepstool. A pair of legs may extend from the re-positioned top cover and these legs may be retained by a top-step retainer assembly that may be coupled to the base; thereby providing stability for the stepstool.
RECONFIGURABLE STORAGE ASSEMBLY
A storage assembly includes a mounting rail extending in a longitudinal direction and having a plurality of pairs of flanges defining a plurality of slots. A mounting member includes a horizontal stop plate and a back plate extending downwardly from the stop plate. The mounting member is moveable relative to the mounting rail from a disengaged position, wherein the back plate is not disposed in one of the slots, and an engaged position, wherein the back plate is disposed in one of the slots. The mounting member also includes a storage component. Methods of making and using the storage assembly are also provided.

A pair of legs may extend from the re-positioned top cover and these legs may be retained by a top-step retainer assembly that may be coupled to the base; thereby providing stability for the stepstool.
Hook rail
A hook rail assembly for hanging objects on a wall includes an elongated rail member for abutting the wall, at least one anchor component connected to a back side of the rail member and at least one hook member positioned at a front side of the rail member. The anchor component including a base and at least one wall penetrating retainer, the wall penetrating retainer having a wall penetrating extent that that protrudes rearwardly of the rail member and has a curved configuration. The wall penetrating extent may be arcuate and have a radius of curvature with a center point proximate a bottom side of the rail member.
Convertible tool case to a support assembly
A position adjustable support assembly is convertible to and from a tool case, to allow transport with a plurality of articles attached thereto. A segmented position adjustable support assembly has a center assembly and a left and right assembly. The left and right assemblies are rotatable about the center assembly and the vertical supports of the center, left and right assemblies can be retained in base and top-receivers of a tool case. Retainers may secure the segmented assembly to the base and top. This allows a user to mount the segmented assembly in a first work location, and then convert the segmented assembly to a tool case for transport to a second work location.

Hook assembly and shelving assembly using the same
The present application discloses a hook assembly, which is used to be connected to a densely gridded rack. The hook assembly of the present application comprises a main body and a top connecting portion, wherein the main body and the top connecting portion are fixedly connected, and the top connecting portion is configured to be detachably connected to the rack. The width of the top connecting portion is greater than the spacing between adjacent longitudinal metal wires. The top connecting portion is provided with a receiving groove, the receiving groove is provided along the length direction of the top connecting portion, and the receiving groove is configured to receive a longitudinal metal wire. The shelving assembly provided in the present application can be reliably connected to the densely gridded rack without reducing the width of a top plate, so as to avoid the interference of the longitudinal metal wires. Most of the sizes of the shelving assembly remain unchanged, so as to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art with minimal modification and cost. It is also possible to increase the width of the top connecting portion to further improve the load-bearing capacity of the shelving assembly.
STORAGE BRACKETS WITH MOVABLE STORAGE HOOKS
A bracket for releasably connecting to a support structure having a shaped opening. The bracket has a mounting plate with a rearward extending flange on each side of the mounting plate and extending a distance the same as a thickness t of the mounting plate. Two rivets extend from a back of the mounting plate with an enlarged head of the rivet configured to releasably interlock with the shaped opening. The rivets are aligned along an axis that is vertical during use. One of a hook or arm is connected to the front face and preferably rotatably mounted to rotate vertically between a folded position and an unfolded, use position where items can be hung from the hook or arm.
