A multi-shelf storage rack having spaced shelf-supporting uprights arranged in pairs, each pair has a front and a rear upright, the uprights having two rows of vertical notches extending vertically thereof in which the shelves are supported. The shelves have a pair of transverse rails extending from the front to back with a stop at the back. A wheeled dolly is positioned on these rails and the dolly has a spring-biased latch pin that restrains it against movement on the rails. An outrigger, can ...

A storage battery adapted to be mounted in a compartment, preferably of an aircraft, wherein on one of the walls of a metal container with a plastic lid having a projection there is provided a plug member connectable to a mating plug means. The contact sockets of this plug member are hollow cylinders divided by longitudinal slots into sectors on the side of insertion of the mating plug member. The contact sockets are of a "floating" structure displaceable in any direction relative to the central...

A storage appliance for use with tubing, pipes and similar items. A generally U-shaped member carries a peg at a distal end of each of its legs and a coupling device at their proximal end. The pegs have a first portion of a generally circular cross section and taper to a rounded point at one terminus. The coupling device has an aperture of the same general cross section as the peg first portion. A storage rack is assembled from the appliances by inserting the pegs of one appliance into the coupl...

This specification describes an apparatus to sense and digitally indicate the number of bytes of storage contained in a memory unit.

A storage tank having a unique geometric shape and adapted to contain a liquid or a compressed gas at pressures above atmospheric pressure. The tank can be made of special materials for low temperature applications. The weight of the tank and its contents is carried on an integral supporting structure advantageously located at the lower corners of the tank. Since the tank is a single walled, pressure-type vessel, it can be utilized in the transportation of liquid natural gas without the need for...

The invention relates to a storage device for housing and displaying cassettes and like articles. The storage device comprises a drum like construction formed by two spaced circular members interconnected around their periphery and provided with an inwardly directed peripheral flange. The spaced side members each have a central aperture for rotatably supporting an inner assembly formed by two ring-like members interconnected by flat connecting elements. The ring-like members each have an inwardl...

Sensor means which is fitted to a mobile member so as to stop the latter on engagement with an object in its path comprising a trip bar, a plurality of links which are arranged at spaced points along the mobile member and are each pivotally connected to said mobile member and trip bar at respective opposite ends so that they form a folding parallelogram with the mobile member and trip bar, and switch means which is arranged in relation to said trip bar so as to be operated by movement of the lat...

Furniture components comprise walls having slots extending therethrough, and sheet material having a cross-section which is shaped to fit slidably through the slots. The sheet material can be slit through the slots and extends between and at right angles to the walls, and has a vertical portion forming a cupboard back and a horizontal portions forming the top and bottom of a cupboard.

Storage assemblies in which a row of storage members, such as racks, are movable along the length of the row in either of two opposite directions so that a gangway can be provided between any two adjacent members.

A storage unit for storing and dispensing articles, wherein the articles may be stored on a slide in a housing in stacked relation to each other, the slide and housing may be raised as a unit by pulling upwardly on the slide, and the stack may be raised to selected heights relative to the housing for disposing the articles in position to be removed from the housing.
