    Abstract: A foldaway stepping stool apparatus includes a backplate attachable to a cabinet and a stepping stool mountable onto the backplate. The stepping stool is configurable into deployed and folded configurations. The stepping stool includes a platform, a pivotable front leg, a pivotable rear leg, a latch, and a bracket coupling the latch and the front leg. The latch operates to lock the stepping stool in the deployed configuration and to secure and free the bracket, enabling movement of the stepping stool between the deployed and folded configurations. The backplate includes a track for removably receiving the stepping stool. The track enables the stepping stool to slide in and out thereof to attach and detach, respectively, for use at the cabinet or away from the cabinet. The track further enables the stepping stool to slide therethrough to contact a floor to support the cabinet while the apparatus is mounted thereon.

    Abstract: A system for cooling an aircraft galley trolley. The system includes a trolley cooling compartment for stowing an aircraft galley trolley; and a heat exchanger to provide cold air to the trolley cooling compartment. The trolley cooling compartment defines an inlet proximal to the base of the trolley cooling compartment for receiving the cold air. The trolley cooling compartment cools the aircraft galley trolley through the transfer of heat to the cold air. The transfer of heat to the cold air heats the cold air to produce warmer air.

    Abstract: A merchandising system includes a rail and a cooperating member. The rail defines a channel. The cooperating member includes a base defining an upper surface extending from a first end to a second end. The base includes (i) a first base section received within the channel and defining a first portion of the upper surface at the first end of the base and (ii) a second base section defining a second portion of the upper surface and extending from the rail in an opposite direction than the first base section. An engagement mechanism is received within each of the first base section and the channel and includes a resilient member operable to selectively bias the base into an engaged state with the rail.

    Abstract: A wall mounting apparatus and a method of manufacturing portions thereof. The wall mounting apparatus includes a wall-mountable assembly and a mounting bracket. The wall-mountable assembly includes an article and a mounting channel. The mounting channel of the wall-mountable assembly and the mounting bracket have angled surfaces that engage each other to achieve a tight fit therebetween when coupled together. The mounting bracket may be coupled to a wall, and then the wall-mountable assembly mounted to the mounting bracket so that the mounting bracket nests within the mounting channel of the wall-mountable assembly. The surfaces of the mounting bracket and the mounting channel that engage one another may be canted or beveled in addition to being angled, thereby forming a tight fit engagement therebetween.

    Abstract: A foldable container includes a foldable supporting frame, at least one operation switch arranged on the foldable supporting frame, and a container body supported on the foldable supporting frame. The operation switch is actuated through a pulling operation to move the foldable supporting frame between an unfolded mode and a folded mode. The container has an edge and an opening formed within the edge. At the unfolded mode, the opening is opened. At the folded mode, the opening is closed. The container body is automatically folded as the foldable supporting frame is moved from the unfolded mode to the folded mode. Via a folding method, the foldable supporting frame is folded to reduce an overall size for occupying less storage space when it is not in use.

    Abstract: A method of assembling a shelf system is provided. The method includes placing a foot sleeve around a bottom portion of a side support panel. The foot sleeve includes a first sidewall configured to extend alongside an outer face of the side support panel, a second sidewall configured to extend alongside an inner face of the side support panel that faces opposite the outer face and an end wall configured to extend along a front face of the side support panel, the end wall connecting the first and second sidewalls. The first and second sidewalls and end wall define a volume that is sized to receive the side support panel. The side support panel is mounted to a wall such that the side support panel extends in a vertical direction and is perpendicular to the wall. The foot sleeve is slid toward a floor beneath the side support panel to fill a gap between the side support panel and the floor after mounting the side support panel to the wall.

    Abstract: The kneeboard includes a deck, a securement strap, and an adjustable bolster. The deck has a first side end, a second side end, a holding side, and a support side. The support side has a first part of a two-part fastening system disposed thereon. The securement strap is attached to the deck and is configured to secure the kneeboard to a limb of a user. The adjustable bolster is attached to the support side of the deck and has a first wing and a second wing. Each wing includes a second part of the two-part fastening system. Each wing has a flat configuration and a raised configuration. In the flat configuration the wing is engaged with the support side a minimum distance from a side end. In the raised configuration the wing is engaged with the support side and spaced apart from a side end greater than the minimum distance.

    Abstract: A plastic molded lip structure may extend along a perimeter of a planar element and may include an outer wall, an inner wall, structural portions, and protruded features. The outer wall may extend in a normal direction from the planar element. The inner wall may be disposed in an inward direction relative to the outer wall. The structural portions may be disposed along structural sections of the perimeter and may include first portions of the inner wall and of the outer wall. The first portions may be disposed parallel to the inner wall and separated from the first portions by a first distance along the structural sections. The protruded features may be interposed between two structural portions and an inner wall may be separated from second portions of the outer wall by a second distance that is greater than the first distance.

The support frame may include a first rectangular end and a second rectangular end, each of which may include a top rail, a bottom rail, a first side rail and a second side rail. Lower lateral rails and upper later rails may connect the first rectangular end to the second rectangular end. A planar drying rack may be disposed between the upper lateral rails and the lower lateral rails. An upper interior volume may be defined by a top surface of the planar drying rack, inner edges of the upper lateral rails and upper edges of the top rails of the first rectangular end and the second rectangular end. The planar drying rack may be free of upwardly extending projections within the upper interior volume.
