Abstract: A storage system comprises a rack of multiple platforms connectable to one another in a first direction, where each of the platforms has segments that connect to one another along a direction other than the first direction, via a user-operable coupling. The platforms are preferably rectangular, and are connected at their long ends. The segments of each platform are also preferably rectangular, but they are connected along their long sides. In such embodiments, the connection between platforms is perpendicular to the length of the rack, while the connection between segments is parallel to the length of the rack. The segments of individual platforms are preferably coupled together with snap fit connections, and supported from their undersides by transverse supports, and the transverse supports are supported from their undersides by longitudinal supports via recesses on the segments. The transverse supports are preferably perpendicular to the longitudinal supports.

Abstract: An interlocking tile system comprises tiles that has a body, interlocking cap structure with a first surface and a second surface; a first curved portion connecting the first surface with a radius of R1 to the second engaging surface with a radius of R2, wherein R1>R2; and a stem supporting the cap structure. The cap is a mushroom-like shape. Such configuration of the connector aids in installation by lessening instances of binding and align and guide the caps into their corresponding receiving areas. The tiles are preferably square, and are connected along all four sides.

Abstract: A floor or wall covering has blocks with mating strips having multiple ridges and multiple grooves in both mating members. Ridges and grooves can have different sizes and cross-sectional shapes from one another, and can mate in a manner that provides expansion gaps. Male/female positioning pairs can advantageously be included to facilitate alignment of the blocks during installation and use. Preferred floor blocks comprise a ribbed support portion that supports a working surface, and the ribbed support portion defines a plurality of cells that collectively reduce the weight of the block by a factor of at least 20% relative to corresponding block without such cells.

Abstract: A floor tile system for protecting a substrate is described. The system includes two tiles or mats that interlock with one another along numerous axes to provide a tight, high-strength seam. Specifically, the tiles include teeth that interlock with teeth of the other tile in a side-by-side manner. The tiles also include male and female portions that interlock when the tile edges overlap with one another.

Abstract: A storage crate has a side access doorway, which is preferably closable by a hinged door. Preferred crates are also collapsible in some manner, most preferably using pivots disposed between the floor and two of the sides, and horizontally along in about the middle of those two sides. Depending on the configuration, collapsing can advantageously reduce the height of the crate by at least 50%, 75% or more. Preferred crates are also stackable, most preferably by virtue of at least two of the sides have sufficient wall strength such that one could safely stack of at least three of the crates when unfolded to an operating configuration, and when each of the crates are loaded with at least 10 kilograms of stored material.

Abstract: A blow-molded or other plastic table has an internal frame. The internal frame preferably includes at least first and second support beams disposed lengthwise in the top, and more preferably also has both lateral and medial support beams, and a cross member that couples the lateral and medial support beams. The lateral and medial support beams need not extend the length of the table, and indeed in some embodiments they extend less than half the length of the table. Such a configuration allows the top to be manufactured, shipped, and stored in halves or other pieces. The lateral support beams can also be disposed to overlap, with or without touching one another. The top is preferably blow molded, and includes a core having a first plurality of baffles. Such baffles can be disposed in any suitable manner, including longwise and cross-wise.

Abstract translation: 吹塑或其他塑料工作台具有内部框架。 内部框架优选地包括至少在顶部纵向设置的第一和第二支撑梁，并且更优选地还具有侧向和内侧支撑梁以及联接横向和内侧支撑梁的横向构件。 侧向和内侧支撑梁不需要延伸台的长度，实际上在一些实施例中，它们延伸小于台的长度的一半。 这种构造允许顶部被制造，运输和存储在一半或其他部件中。 横向支撑梁也可以被设置为与彼此接触或不相互重叠。 顶部优选地是吹塑成型的，并且包括具有第一多个挡板的芯。 这样的挡板可以以任何合适的方式设置，包括纵向和横向。
