A portable cooler is provided that includes a base that supports a refrigeration unit. The base also supports a plurality of upwardly-extending support poles that accommodate a top portion. The support poles, top portion, and base define a food storage volume that is surrounded by a plurality of insulative walls.

This invention is a unique and novel shipping frame for nursery plants, that is made from a water-resistant recycled paper composite material. The frame allows for supporting one or more shelves and is attached to a base. The one or more shelves and base are capable of holding the plants during shipment to insure the plants are not damaged. After shipment is completed, the frame may be reused or disposed of accordingly.

A drawer assembly includes a bottom, a first side extending from the bottom, and a second side extending from the bottom and opposite the first side. The second side includes a first wall portion and a second wall portion opposite the first wall portion. The first wall portion is spaced apart from the second wall to define a first cavity therebetween. The first wall portion includes a first aperture in fluid communication with the first cavity.

A furniture unit includes at least one substrate having an upper surface, a lower surface, a proximal peripheral surface, a distal peripheral surface, a first seam, and a second seam. The lower surface is opposite the upper surface. The proximal peripheral surface extends from the upper surface to the lower surface. The distal peripheral surface is opposite the proximal peripheral surface and extends from the upper surface to the lower surface. The second seam is spaced apart from the first seam. The first and second seams extend in a direction parallel to the proximal peripheral surface. The proximal peripheral surface engages the lower surface such that the substrate defines a first hollow support.

The present invention provides a fold flat assembly capable of being erected into a display hutch having a shell and a tray assembly attached to an inner surface of the shell. The shell has opposed side walls spaced from one another and each having a front edge and a rear edge. A back panel connects the rear edges and a plurality slats connect portions of the front edges of the opposing side walls and are spaced from one another defining gaps between adjacent slats. The shell is moveable between a flat position and an erect position. The tray assembly has a peripheral wall and a bottom wall. The peripheral wall is connected to the back panel, the opposed side walls and one of the slats of the plurality of slats. The bottom wall is connected by a first hinge to a segment of the peripheral wall. The tray assembly folds flat within the shell and a portion of the bottom wall extends into one of the gaps when the shell is in the flat position, and the bottom wall forms a shelf, spanning from the one slat to the back panel, when the shell is in the erect position.

A container (10) comprising one or more walls (12, 14, 16) and a base (18) defining an enclosure for storing and displaying one or more items (90). A locking tab (22) is defined in each side wall (16) and corresponding locking slots (26) are defined in the base (18). The locking tabs (22) each define an undercut (22c). The container (10) can be mounted on top of a further container (10) to form a modular display device by inserting the locking tabs (22) of the further container into the locking slots (26) and sliding the container forwardly to engage the base (18) in the undercuts. The modular display device (34, FIG. 3) may also include a stand for supporting one or more containers at an angle on a horizontal surface and a header.

A two piece, easy-to-assemble hutch for shipping and displaying items is provided. The hutch comprises two laterally opposing, hinged sidewalls, one or more elongated horizontal front panels, a rear wall and shelves made of two halves. The hutch is moveable between a first position in which each shelf is folded up against itself and a second position in which each shelf forms a substantially planar load supporting surface.
