A readily assembled tray for storing articles under a bed or the like is formed from a flat, elastically bendable rectangular sheet (12) which is bent near each edge and corner for forming integral bottom and sides of the tray without creasing the sheet. Each corner of the sheet is notched to permit such bending. Four rigid side rails (13) are detachably connectable along edges of the sheet for collectively forming a rigid rim for the tray. Four corner connectors (14) secure edges of the notches...

A box for storing files is formed from a single blank of paperboard. The blank consists of a centrally located bottom wall panel having side wall panels foldably connected thereto. Each of the centrally located bottom walls panels and side wall panels have an end wall panel extending from a transverse edge thereof so that when the side wall panels are folded 90.degree. relative to the bottom wall panel, the end wall panels on the transverse edges of the side walls and bottom walls can be overlap...

In a transfer cylinder for perfector printing machines having two diametrically opposed sheet-supporting surfaces formed from two groups, respectively, of sheet supports engaging comb-like one within the other, one of the two sheet-supporting groups of one sheet-supporting surface having a device for gripping the leading edge of a sheet, and both of the sheet-supporting groups forming one sheet-supporting surface being adjustable relative to one another about the rotary shaft of the transfer cyl...

The present invention relates to an overhead trolley switching system which is operative in both manual and automatic modes. The switching system is particularly suited for the storage of overhead trolleys and includes a secondary rail spaced from the main rail along with a switching rail adapted to divert one wheel assembly from the main rail. The trolleys can, if desired, be stored in a diagonal position.

A storage system for articles comprising a plurality of inclined storage compartments where an unloading member on an elevator removes articles from given compartments and transfers the article to a conveyor from a transfer position on the elevator and the conveyor carries the articles to a delivery point.

A container designed for assembly without separable fasteners to comprise a leakproof receptacle or tray for use by meat packers and others. The container is formed from a single blank of corrugated fibreboard having a water-repellent surface. It comprises sides (23, 24) and ends (21, 22) rising from a bottom (10) orthogonally, and interconnected by webbed corners (25, 28). The ends are provided with flaps (30, 40) including lock tabs (31, 32, 41, 42) with tongues (33, 34, 43, 44) which cooperat...

A high-rise storage rack is constructed of a plurality of vertical frames each having a front and rear column with the rear columns of the vertical frames being interconnected by means of down-aisle ties to brace the same against down-aisle forces and lateral column buckling. The front columns are supported against down-aisle forces and lateral column buckling by means of braced frame assemblies whereby there is no need for any down-aisle ties between the front columns of the vertical frames. Th...
