摘要:
A utility cart includes a sensor or plurality of sensors to determine the state of a cart and secure cart contents. A sensor may be used to determine whether the contents of the cart have been accessed. When the sensor determines that the cart has been accessed, an alarm sequence that sounds an alarm or activates a visual indicator will be initiated. The alarm sequence may be terminated by a kill switch or by using an input device to deactivate the alarm. After the cart is used, the cart is re-stocked and the alarm controller is re-armed to return the cart's alarm system to an access sensing state.

A shelf support system includes a sleeve or wedge member and a collar adapted to be secured to a generally cylindrical support post, that is one that is circular when viewed in radial cross-section. The sleeve has an inner surface that is configured to embrace the support post and an outer surface formed with a first axially outwardly inclined wedge portion and at least one second axially outwardly inclined wedge portion that, when viewed in such radial cross-section, extends at an angle to the first portion. Additionally, the collar is adapted to be secured to a member to be supported and to embrace the sleeve. The collar has a first wedge surface formed to mate with the first portion of the outer surface of the sleeve and at least one second wedge surface formed to mate with the second portion of the outer surface of the sleeve. Thus, when the sleeve embraces the post and the collar embraces the sleeve, axial loading of the collar in one direction causes the first wedge surface to mate with the first portion of the outer surface of the sleeve and the second wedge surface to mate with the second portion of the outer surface of the sleeve, thereby urging the sleeve toward the post in at least two generally radial directions.

A module adapted to generate a stream of hot, humid air includes a housing, a chamber disposed within the housing and having an air intake and an exhaust vent, and a reservoir adapted to hold a volume of water. A blower is disposed adjacent the air intake and is adapted to propel a stream of air through an interior of the chamber toward the exhaust vent. A steam generator is disposed substantially within the interior of the chamber and has a water inlet in flow communication with the reservoir and a steam outlet in flow communication with the interior of the chamber. A first heater is disposed on an external surface of the steam generator and a second heater is disposed within the interior of the chamber.

A system for supporting a member on a support post includes a wedge assembly, having a tapered face and mountable on the support post, and a collar secured to the member to be supported. The wedge assembly has a camming surface, and the collar has a camming portion for abutting the camming surface. In addition, a locking mechanism is mounted to the collar and press-fits against the wedge assembly.

A food service cabinet is provided with a coating having as an ingredient thereof a nanomaterial. The temperature and humidity of the interior of the food service cabinet can be controlled to keep food at a desired temperature and/or humidity. The coating may be Nansulate™, which includes Hydro-NM-Oxide as a nanomaterial. The coating is hydrophobic and provides thermal insulation, corrosion resistance and mold resistance. According to a method of manufacturing the cabinet having the nanomaterial coating, the coating may be applied by a brush, a roller or an airless sprayer at low pressure, in three coats, each coat being approximately 3-5 wet mils in thickness.

A modular "knock-down" type shelving system having adjustable height shelves includes a plastic support post having a generally right equilateral triangular cross-section. The support post is composed of pultruded thermosetting plastic having unidirectional E Glass fibers extending therethrough and a thermoplastic coating bonded to the outer surface thereof. The inner surface of the interior side of the support post is bowed outwardly. As a result, when a wedge member is disposed on the interior side of the post and the support post and wedge member combination supports by wedge action a sleeve comprising an end beam and a collar, the interior side of the support post is urged outwardly and is supported by the wedge member. The collar is locked to the end beam when a tongue of the collar passes through a slot in the end beam into a rotatable lock in a blind hole in the bottom of the end beam. A plurality of shelves are adapted to be snap-fit over a rectangular support structure comprising two end beams, and two side beams and a center beam connecting the two end beams. In this manner the shelf can be easily assembled and disassembled and supported on a support post at a predetermined height.

The post driver apparatus of the instant invention is designed to be mounted on a truck chassis that can be readily moved from site to site and comprises a fluid-pressure impact hammer mounted in a shock absorbing cage assembly that permits rapid driving of posts into the ground without transmission of substantial shock forces to the frame and chassis on which the post driver is mounted. The apparatus is also equipped with means to vary the location and orientation of the impact hammer with respect to the truck chassis thereby minimizing the precision with which the truck chassis must be located.

A shelving system includes at least two parallel lengths of track, at least two pair of end pieces disposed on opposite ends of each of the at least two lengths of track, and a stationary shelving unit attached to one of the at least two pair of end pieces, with the stationary shelving unit including a plurality of posts and a shelf supported by the plurality of posts, and a mobile shelving unit, which includes a plurality of posts, a shelf supported by the plurality of posts, and a plurality of wheels adapted to roll on the at least two lengths of track. Each length of track includes (a) a plurality of track bases, each track base extending between a first base end and a second base end, being formed with a rail channel on a top of the track base and a recess on a bottom of the track base, and including a plurality of elongated holes extending through each of the plurality of track bases, (b) a plurality of track rails, each including a first rail end and a second rail end and being disposed in the rail channel with the first rail end projecting beyond the first base end thereby to define a rail projection and with the second rail end being recessed from the second base end thereby to cause the channel to define a rail projection socket in the track base, and (c) a coupling member disposed in the recess of the track base, the coupling member joining the first base end of one base to the second base end of another base by being fastened through a track base to at least one of the plurality of track rails.
