Abstract:
A portable container includes a first body that has monolithically formed sidewalls sized and shaped for defining a storage cavity and further has an open front face. The first body includes monolithically formed shelves equidistantly registered between a top and bottom end portion of the first body. A plurality of 5-gallon water bottles can be directly passed through the open front face and nested into a partitioned region. Each shelf includes equally spaced flange portions protruding upwardly therefrom and each shelf further has a concave bottom surface on which the water bottles are supported. A plurality of access doors are pivotally attached to the first body and adaptable between open and closed positions. Each access door has a fulcrum axis defined along a vertical plane between the top and bottom end portions.
Abstract:
An improved hand truck has a pair of laterally spaced side rails, connected by crosswise braces laterally to form a hand truck frame. Axle supporting front to rear extending brackets are fixed to the lower ends of the side rails and mount axle and wheel mechanism. A forwardly projecting nose piece is fixed to the lower end of the frame. A plurality of trays having product stabilizing crosswise wall abutments of a crosswise length less than the spacing between the side rails have rearwardly extending tray brackets hingedly supported by the frame side rails for movement from a substantially horizontal load supporting operative position above the nose piece to a vertically disposed inoperative stowed position in substantial parallelism with the side rails in which the tray abutments extend between the side rails.
Abstract:
A serving cart employs a wheeled frame having horizontal drawers disposed in opposite vertical ends of the frame. The top of the frame carries two wells disposed side by side. A top cover having a manually operable vent is hinged to an end and extends over the wells. Hinged drop leaf table tops are secured to opposite sides of the frame adjacent the cover.
Abstract:
A service cart for an aircraft is disclosed with a housing of carbon fiber reinforced composites forming a multi-compartment carrier, the carrier adapted to hold four standard airline meal carriers. The cart includes at least a pair of cap doors at opposite ends of the cart, each cap door pivoting approximately 270 degrees to bear against a side of the cart, and a plurality of guides on inner walls of the multi-compartment for retaining the standard airline meal carriers. To prevent the doors of the cart from inadvertently opening, the cart also may include a redundant paddle latch system for each door.

Abstract:
A tool holder that may be used for storing and/or transporting tools, such as CNC equipment, and a method of use. The tool holder includes a tray having a plurality of receptacles for storing tools and a cover for at least one of the plurality of receptacles. The cover keeps staged tooling clean and workers safe while increasing efficiency and security. The preferred cover includes a body having a first portion, a second portion, a base extending from the second portion and an indicator to designate the type or condition of the tool. Additionally, most preferably, the first piece is transparent and the second piece is opaque. Preferably, the first piece further includes a vent to reduce moisture buildup within the cover. Alternatively, the preferred cover may be made of a one-piece construction. In preferred embodiments, the cover may be removably secured to the tray with fastening elements.
Abstract:
Five gallon water bottles for refilling water coolers are stored on a hand truck and on the floor of a user's facility employing three racks. A lower rack stores eight bottles in staggered arrays to be carried by a conventional hand truck. An intermediate rack is formed by bonding a duplicate of the lower rack to a duplicate of the upper top rack. The or rack has bottle supports and dividers for supporting the bottles in the staggered array. The intermediate rack has a lower rack portion the same as the top rack with cylindrical depending members for receiving the necks and spouts of the bottles on the lower rack. The top rack has the depending members for receiving the necks and spouts of the bottles on the intermediate rack. The intermediate rack upper potion is the same as the lower rack for receiving an upper array of bottles. The racks have depending ribs which engage each other in the intermediate rack and wherein the lower rack ribs engage the hand truck support platform rails to preclude shifting of the racks during transport. A total of sixteen bottles are carried. In another embodiment, all three racks are identical and similar to the intermediate rack of the first embodiment, except formed molded as one piece.
Abstract:
A holder holds bottles in a shopping cart having a wall and a main compartment having a floor. The holder includes a rack which has a plurality of apertures which are shaped and dimensioned to receive the bottles. The rack is rotatably connectable to the wall of the shopping cart so that the rack is disposed in the main compartment of the shopping cart. When connected to the wall of the shopping cart, the rack is selectively rotatable (1) to a not-in-use position substantially parallel to the wall of the shopping cart, and (2) to an in-use position substantially parallel to the floor of the main compartment.
