MASSAGE DEVICE
A massage device generally includes a massage stick, an accessory kit, and a rack. The massage stick includes a rod, two handle tubes, two massage tubes, eight bearings, two first sleeves, two second sleeves, three separation rings, and two nuts. The accessory kit includes two massage cylinders and a plurality of bushings including at least one double-taper bushing and at least two single-taper bushings, so that the massage stick can be detachably mounted with the massage cylinders through the bushings. The rack includes two lateral supports each defining a plurality of recesses positioned at different heights, so that the massage stick can be installed horizontally on the rack. With the massage stick, the rack, and the accessory kit, the massage device can be operated in various ways.
TUBE RACK APPARATUS
A tube rack apparatus including a bottom portion having a first length, a plurality of indents formed in the bottom portion and configured to receive tubes and keep tubes straight, the plurality of indents exposing a lower surface of the bottom portion, wherein inserted tubes do not pass through the lower surface of the bottom portion, a plurality of legs extending from the bottom portion, a top portion having a second length longer than the first length, a plurality of openings formed in the top portion, the plurality of openings aligned with the plurality of indents, and at least one handle member extending from a first end of the top portion.
HEIGHT ADJUSTED SEISMIC BASE ISOLATION SYSTEM
A seismic isolation system includes at least one adjustable foot attached to a container. The at least one adjustable foot has a height at least sufficient to support the container such that the container does not touch a surface on which the container rests. The seismic isolation system further includes a sliding pad affixed to a portion of the at least one adjustable foot facing the surface. The sliding pad is configured to provide a coefficient of static and kinetic friction between the sliding pad and the surface that prevents relative movement of the sliding pad and the surface in normal operation and allows the sliding pad to move relative to the surface during a seismic event.
Framed structure for material-handling purposes
A framed structure, such as a material cart, used for material-handling purposes includes an elongated frame having two opposite ends and two opposite sides. In addition, a first set of mounts are adapted to accept the forks of a forklift truck directed endwise therein and are arranged in such a relationship to the elongated frame so that the first pair of mounts are adapted to accept the forks of a forklift truck directed therein from a side of the elongated frame. Furthermore, a second set of mounts are adapted to accept the forks of a forklift truck directed endwise therein and are arranged in such a relationship to the elongated frame so that the second set of mounts are adapted to accept the forks of a forklift truck directed therein from an end of the elongated frame.
Keg storage assembly with securement hook
A storage assembly for vertical storage of a plurality of beer kegs. The storage assembly includes a frame comprising two vertical members and a series of attached horizontal members to support vertically stored beer kegs. The storage assembly has an inferior shelf and a superior shelf. The superior horizontal frame member comprises a centrally attached hook having a part which is positioned through an aperture of the superior keg to provide secure positioning on the superior shelf.
SEISMIC BASE ISOLATION SYSTEM FOR BARREL RACKS
This base isolation system protects barrel racks from earthquake motions through a pad designed to slide on a prepared surface to critically reduce the amount of energy otherwise transferred to a stack of barrels. The pad is comprised of two layers: a plate, usually steel, and an underlayer, usually a high density plastic. The interaction of the underlayer with the prepared surface depends on a coefficient of static and kinetic friction between the underlayer and the surface that prevents relative movement in normal operation and yet allows the isolation pad to move relative to the surface during a seismic event.
Adjustable vertical can storage and dispenser rack
A storage and dispensing system for generally cylindrical items which is adjustable to accommodate items having a variety of heights and diameters. The width of the storage and discharge areas, depth of the storage area, and height of the discharge chute are adjustable. The system holds items for removal on a first-in, first-out basis.
COLLAPSIBLE STAND FOR HOLDING AND DISPENSING CRAFT MATERIALS
A collapsible stand for holding and dispensing craft materials includes a base having a front, a rear, a first side, a second side, an upper surface, and a lower surface. A first arm is coupled to the upper surface at the first side of the base by a first hinge. At least one first dowel slot is defined through the first arm. A second arm is coupled to the upper surface at the second side of the base by a second hinge. At least one second dowel slot is defined through the second arm.
Gas cylinder tank storage rack with method of signaling tank inventory
A gas cylinder tank storage rack uses groups of load cells to sense the presence and fill state of tanks in storage locations on shelves. Tanks can be stored lying down horizontally on parallel rails. The rails are hinged to a crossbar of a frame of the rack and rest at an opposite end upon load cells attached to another crossbar of the frame. Multiple tanks can also be stored upright upon platforms resting upon at least one pair of load cells affixed to front and/or back crossbars of the frame. Sensor outputs from pairs of cells are processed in tandem to yield an average load value. The measured load in relation to threshold values determine the number and fill state of tanks on the shelves. Tank inventory can be communicated to a server to handle ordering of replacement tanks when needed.
HIDEAWAY STORAGE RACK
A storage rack having a hidden section for storing additional items includes a stepped upper member, an open space, at least one open side, one or more slide-out trays, and a plurality of substantially vertical walls. The stepped upper member defines at least two or more steps, with each step having a substantially planar upper surface that defines a length between a left and a right side of each said step. The upper member has an upwardly facing surface and a downwardly facing surface. The open space is provided beneath the lower surface. The trays are positioned below downwardly facing surface in the open space and are slidable out of the rack. The vertical walls are coupled to the stepped upper member and extend downwardly therefrom. The walls provide a slot for receiving the slide-out trays.
