Abstract: The sink system (10) includes a sink support frame (12) for supporting a sink (24). A vertical adjustment mechanism (30) secured between the sink support frame (12) and a rear wall (32) permits selective vertical movement of the sink support frame (12). A horizontal adjustment mechanism (40) secured between the sink support frame (12) and the sink (24) permits selective horizontal movement of the sink (24) away from and toward the rear wall (32). Flexible cold and hot water delivery lines (44, 46) and a flexible drain pipe (54) are secured between the rear wall (32) and a bottom surface of the sink. Vertical and horizontal movement of the sink (24) greatly facilitates use of the sink (24) by elderly and disabled persons using a wheelchair (56) and/or a walker. A two-sink cabinet embodiment (130) is also disclosed.

Abstract: The folding side-wall container (10, 62, 66) provides for efficient loading and unloading of the containers appropriate for retail re-supply of goods (52, 64, 90). Use of the containers as a distribution container (62) and a wholesale goods container (66) within an automated system (60) for automated transfer by a robotic picker (68) of goods (64) from the wholesale container (66) to the distribution container (62) minimizes labor costs in distribution of the goods (64). The container (10) includes a folding wall (22) that is releasably secured in a closed position by a top lid (34) having an engagement lip (42) that secures a top edge (46) of the folding side or front wall (22). Opening the top lid (34) and then folding down the front wall (22) permits efficient loading and unloading of the container (10).

Abstract: The refillable container (20) includes a semi-rigid outer shell (22) that defines an interior void (24) and includes a detachable pour spout (26). The container (20) may be refilled with a plurality of collapsible inserts (32). Instead of rigid beverage bottles and other flowable substance containers, the collapsible inserts (32) may be transported from a manufacturing to a filling facility in a collapsed state (76), and do not have to include semi-rigid materials thereby minimizing disposal requirements. A tilt-pouring embodiment (20), a helical track embodiment (100), a helical axle embodiment (240) and an air-bladder embodiment (300) of refillable containers having common components permit dispensing of products from the containers (20, 100, 240, 300) to achieve virtually zero waste of the products.

Abstract: A process for the assembly of wax trees in which a wax runner is placed in a flat position and a wax pattern is located adjacent the wax runner. Both the wax runner pattern and the wax runner are heated and then are placed in contact with one another where heated. Then the wax pattern and the wax runner are separated slightly to form a fillet weld between the wax pattern and the wax runner. An apparatus is also provided which, by robotics, brings a multiplicity of wax patterns to a wax runner and which automatically heats both the wax patterns and the wax runner before simultaneously pressing both the wax pattern and the wax runner together. Once a wax tree assembly is completed a new wax runner replaces the wax runner that has been formed into a wax tree and additional wax runners are affixed in the same manner.

Abstract: A Bulk Mail Container (BMC) unloader uses a simple crossed four bar-linkage to move a predetermined point on a BMC unloader in a substantially straight line while the overall BMC unloader rotates about that predetermined point so as to upend the BMC container. This takes advantage of the crossed four-bar's substantially straight-line motion over a limited range of its motion, as well as the rotational motion of the particular unloader link disclosed herein. This is advantageous for unloading. In use, a BMC container is simply rolled into the BMC unloader, and the entire combination of the BMC container and BMC unloader is then actuated to produce substantially straight line motion along a suitably selected “center” point of the BMC unloader while the overall combination rotates about the center point so as to upend the BMC for unloading.

Abstract translation: 散装邮件集装箱（BMC）卸载机使用简单的交叉四杆连杆机构在大致直线上移动BMC卸载机上的预定点，同时整个BMC卸载机围绕该预定点旋转，以便升高BMC容器。 这有利于在其运动的有限范围内交叉的四杆的基本直线运动以及本文公开的特定卸载器连杆的旋转运动。 这对卸载是有利的。 在使用中，将BMC容器简单地卷入BMC卸载机，然后启动BMC容器和BMC卸载机的整个组合，以沿着BMC卸载机的适当选择的“中心”点产生基本上直线运动，而整体组合 围绕中心点旋转，以便抬起BMC进行卸载。
