The specification discloses a method for containing spills on shelving and the like, and the resulting support members made in accordance with the method, by providing the generally flat top surface of a support with a hydrophobic surface which is arranged in a spill containment pattern and which is generally in the plane of the top surface of the support. The majority of the top surface of the support consists of one or more spill containment areas which are of a non-hydrophobic nature and which are bounded by the hydrophobic surfaces, such that spills on the shelving collect in the non-hydrophobic spill containment area or areas and are prevented from spreading by the hydrophobic surfaces.

The invention provides a merchandiser including a case that has a base and side walls extending upward from the base to at least partially define a product display area. The merchandiser also includes a bumper assembly coupled to an exterior surface of the base, the bumper assembly including a plurality of shock absorbers attached to and extending outward from the exterior surface. The shock absorbers are spaced apart from each other along the base. The bumper assembly also includes an elongate bumper coupled to distal ends of the shock absorbers and biased outward from the base by the shock absorbers.

The present application relates to a detachable cover for lining a plurality of boreholes on a furniture, said detachable cover having a track disposed onto a rear surface of said cover; and a plurality of studs attached to said track, wherein said plurality of studs are attached to said track in an adjustable manner and methods for using the like.

A method for restoring the visual appearance of a wire shelf, products employed in the method, and a kit containing the parts used for the restoration are provided for simplifying the process of altering the appearance of a wire shelf construction. The kit preferably includes a top surface covering having adjustable depth dimensions. A profile number is adapted preferably to engage in an edge of the top surface and the top surface and profile members are attached the underlying wire shelf to maintain the assembly in position.

The invention relates to an edge trim for pieces of furniture, comprising a meltable layer. In order to improve a generic edge trim such that the same is more versatile and can especially be mounted on a wider selection of surfaces, the molecular structure of the meltable layer contains both polar and non-polar parts.

An exemplary storage system generally includes a least one back channel mountable along a support surface (e.g., a back wall of a closet, etc.). At least one wall or panel of the storage system is mountable (e.g., via a connector, etc.) along the back channel. The storage system may also generally include one or more of a hang rod, side bracket, shelf trim, end cup, support bracket, and/or shelf. The shelf may be supportable by the back channel, a pair of side brackets, and at least one support bracket. The side brackets may be mountable along sidewalls of the closet and/or to the at least one wall or the storage system that is mountable along the back channel. The hang rod may supportable beneath the shelf when first and second end portions of the hang rod are supported by respective first and second end cups.

An apparatus for holding a decorative cover. The apparatus includes a body having front and rear opposite sides, the front side of the body having a front surface having a perimeter, the rear side of the body having a rear surface, and the body having an outwardly facing lateral surface between the front and rear surfaces; and a first connector on the body, the first connector detachably connectable, continuously adjacent at least a portion of the perimeter of the front surface, to a second connector, complementary to the first connector, on the decorative cover. A furniture apparatus includes at least one substantially thermoplastic body and one or both of diatomaceous earth and a PA1b-related peptide incorporated in one or more of the at least one body.

A shelf with interchangeable faceplates includes a shelf body having a top wall, a bottom wall and a pair of side walls that define an opening and an interior space. A pair of receptacles are positioned along each of the side walls and include inwardly oriented channels that are located adjacent to the opening. Each of the faceplates include indicia along a front surface and a guide panel along a back surface. Each of the faceplates are individually connectable to the shelf body by sliding the guide panel along the receptacles. When so positioned, the faceplate will cover the opening to block access to the interior space, and the indicia will be visible. Each of the interior space and the top wall of the main body include flat surfaces for independently storing any number of objects.
