Collapsible outdoor shelving unit
A collapsible, portable shelving unit that is useful within tents and the like when one is camping. The device is easy to pack and carry and is lightweight but will hold a fair amount of weight when in use. There is no requirement for supporting the shelving unit to posts or trees or the like, as the device is self-supportable, even when it contains various objects on the shelving. It is especially useful for tent camping.
Bracket assembly
A bracket assembly includes a cylindrical member configured to hold a supporting bar at a first opening of the cylindrical member, a cylindrical core housed in the cylindrical member from the second opening of the cylindrical member, an annular cap coupled with the cylindrical core at the second opening of the cylindrical member, and a torque cartridge housed within a torque cartridge housing and transversely press fitted into the cylindrical member and the cylindrical core. The torque cartridge has a first portion with a first end that is coupled to the cylindrical core and a second portion with a first end that is rotatably coupled at a second end of the first portion to provide an infinite smooth pivoting movement between the first and second portions of the torque cartridge.
Shelf storage system
A shelf storage system includes hang standards with slots arranged in rows, brackets connectable to the slots to suspend them in a cantilevered manner from the hang standards, and shelves adapted to be supported by brackets when suspended on spaced-apart hang standards. On the bottom side of a shelf are connectors at fixed locations for connecting the shelf to brackets when spaced a predetermined bracket-to-bracket distance apart. The hang standards have a plurality screw holes to connect the hang standard vertically on a vertical surface, such as a wall. The distance between at least two such screw holes corresponds to the predetermined bracket-to-bracket distance. To mark locations to install hang standards with proper spacing for brackets suspended from them to connect with the shelf, one of the hang standards is placed horizontally on the vertical surface to mark locations for the hang standards using the screw holes, thus simplifying installation of the system.
Connecting device
A connecting device for interconnecting a vertical tube and a plurality of display cabinets for carrying display modules includes first and second connecting frames and a fastening unit. The first connecting frame is for mounting the display cabinets thereon, abuts against a front outer surface of the vertical tube facing the display cabinets. The second connecting frame abuts against a rear outer surface of the vertical tube facing away from the first connecting frame. The fastening unit includes first fastening sets fastening the first and second connecting frames together so as to clamp the vertical tube therebetween. The second fastening sets fasten securely the display cabinets to the first connecting frame.
STORAGE SUPPORT MEMBER AND GRATING SYSTEM
Warehouse support structures capable of supporting 3000 pounds or more are fastened to the inside surface of a horizontal support beam attached to a vertical column. A structural support member spans the horizontal support beams and support a platform, such as a mesh platform is supported thereon. The support member can be an inverted formed U or an angle beam. The angle beam should have an attachment bracket secured to each end, at a height to permit the platform to have the same height as the horizontal beam. The mesh platform should nest in the inside surface of the horizontal beam, between the support member and the beam. The construction presents a smooth, easy to assemble, snag free construction.
STORAGE DECKS AND STORAGE RACK ASSEMBLIES INCLUDING SAME
A storage deck section supportable on a storage rack structure. The storage deck section includes a deck sheet formed from a plurality of wires. At least some of the plurality of wires include a sheet portion at least partially defining an approximately planar support area for supporting associated goods. A relief portion extending from the sheet portion at an acute angle relative to the approximately planar support area. An extension portion disposed along the first end is oriented transverse to the sheet portion. A support member is disposed below the deck sheet, which is secured to a beam with an elongated open channel such that at least part of the relief portion and at least part of the extension portion are disposed within the elongated open channel. A storage rack assembly is also included.
Integral Installation Aid
An enclosure can have an enclosure body, the enclosure body can include an enclosure frame, and a first enclosure flange. The enclosure can have a center post having a first end and an opposite second end, the first end can include a first center post flange having a hole extending therethrough. The enclosure can include a gasket having a gasket hole therethrough, and a threaded fastener to threadingly engage the hole. The threaded fastener can be configured to rotate in a first direction while threadingly engaged with the hole, and the threaded fastener can contact the first enclosure flange to increase a distance between the first enclosure flange and the first center post flange in order to receive the gasket.

Wash/sanitation rack for athletic equipment
A modular wash/sanitation rack including an inside channel, outside channel, gear rack mount, wall support, and gear support. A light-weight, structurally sound support assembly of the wash/sanitation rack includes one or more of the inside channel, the outside channel, the gear rack mount, and the wall support formed as a three-dimensional support from a flat pattern of a single sheet of material. The gear rack mount is connected to a flange of the gear support and is housed within an inside channel of the support assembly. The inside channel is housed within an outside channel. The outside channel is connected to the anchored wall support. The wash/sanitation rack is assembled as a secured or a moveable unit.
VEHICLE SHELF SYSTEM & METHOD OF USE
A shelf system that may be used with a vehicle is described. The shelf system may have a shelf member that selectively pivots between a raised position and a lowered position. The shelf system may have a frame system as well as a sub-frame system to support it within the vehicle.
