摘要： A system for providing self watering of plants on a display structure. The system includes a top on the display structure having sides and a bottom forming a water tight structure. A reservoir having a series of perforations forming a honeycomb pattern is placed in the top. A water supply pipe having a series of spaced perforations extends along one side of the top. A capillary mat is placed over the reservoir for plants to sit upon. In use, water is supplied through the perforations of the water supply pipe evenly across the reservoir. The capillary mat absorbs the water until the mat is saturated. This water is absorbed by the roots of the plants in containers on the mat as needed.

摘要： A display structure convertible between use as for displaying plants and for storage. The display structure includes at least one display case that is pivotally mounted on said display structure to allow movement between a horizontal display use and a vertical storage use. A support bracket supports hanging baskets as well as holding a misting tube to water plants hanging from said support bracket. The display cases also include corner trim portions to protect the corners of the display case as well as preventing water leakage.

摘要： The subject invention includes a plating apparatus (10) having an electrically conductive rack (12) and a frame assembly (14). The frame assembly (14) includes a rod (24) and series of support structures (26). A number of removable (34) and fixed (32) bars are attached to the support structures (26) such that a strand of interconnected workpieces (18) are wrapped over the bars (32, 34) to define a revolution of the interconnected workpieces (18). The plating apparatus (10) and frame assembly (14) are characterized by a series of spacers (38) mounted along the removable bars (34) for separating adjacent revolutions of the interconnected workpieces (18) such that the workpieces (18) can be effectively coated with the material. The subject invention also includes a method of coating the strand of workpieces (18) comprising the steps of; mounting a first end of the strand to the removable bars (34); wrapping the strand over the bars (32, 34) while simultaneously wrapping the strand between adjacent spacers (38) to separate adjacent revolutions of the strand; mounting a second end of the strand to an opposite end of the removable bars (34); and coating the frame assembly (14) and strand of workpieces (18) with the material.
