A chip tray includes a first member (11) having an adhesive (13) on an upper face thereof and a second member (12) having upper and lower faces and at least one chip carrying section (14) having a through hole (15) extending downwardly from a bottom of the chip carrying section to the lower face of the second member. The second member is placed upon the first member such that the upper face of the first member is opposed to the lower face of the second member.

The present invention provides an improved ice tray that forms narrow ice pieces that easily fit through the opening of portable beverage containers such as standard cans, bottles, and cartons, thereby saving the costs and energy associated with refrigeration. The ice tray has one or more narrow cavities for receiving water. A protrusion in the cavity produces a notch in the ice so that the ice may be broken into smaller pieces and conveniently dropped into the beverage containers. Multiple ice ...

A telecommunications cable management system includes fanning trays and management panels, including slidable drawers, mounted to a rack for management of cables. The fanning tray includes fingers for managing vertical cables. The cables extend horizontally through the fanning tray. The fanning tray includes hinges to access the space or the rack behind the fanning tray. A lock holds the fanning tray in the pivoted up position. One drawer includes slack management devices including a radius limi...

An articulating tray assembly for mounting on a support member, such as a wheelchair side frame member, which can be self stored and moved from the storage position to an operating position either inside or outside of the support member by manipulation of a single clamping knob. Forward and rearward movement of the tray is controlled by a second clamping knob.

A personal item storage tray which includes a storage surface that incorporates a personal item identification, placement, retention, storage and removal apparatus or structure. One embodiment includes a substantially planar arrangement of depressions or recessed compartments designed to receive specific personal items such as, for example, eyeglasses, hearing aids and dentures. The compartments may be uniquely designed, shaped and marked to signal the uses of the compartment and to distinguish ...

A tray includes a compartment with a bottom surface and perimeter sidewalls, and a passive stop arrangement is provided in the compartment. The passive stop arrangement includes at least a first notch in one of the sidewalls and a stop disposed proximate to the first notch. The tray is especially useful in a tray support system including a chassis having at least two laterally-spaced and vertically oriented racks each having spaced rungs in a mirror-image relationship.

A heated tray which can be activated to release a frozen liquid from compartments thereof. The tray includes an electrically insulative body having one or more compartments for receiving a liquid to be frozen. The tray also includes an electrically conductive polymer which can be heated by applying a potential across the conductive polymer. The conductive polymer is provided so as to be adjacent each compartment of the insulative body. The tray further includes first and second electrode grids o...

A hooded tray and a blank for manufacturing such a tray. The hooded tray has two open topped trays having opposed product containing and enclosing side and end walls. The two trays are assembled together into a closed transport configuration, with the open top of one tray facing the open top of the other. Each of the trays presents an upstanding wall arranged, when the trays are assembled, to make wall-to-wall contact with a side or end wall of the other tray. This enables the two trays to be ea...

A stackable tray is constructed of a bottom wall, a pair of end walls extending upwardly from the bottom wall, and a pair of side walls extending upwardly from the bottom wall and between the end walls. The end and side walls are preferably divergent in an upward direction. A pair of stacking support walls extend upwardly relative to the bottom wall, and are spaced slightly inwardly from the tray end walls. The stacking support walls are interconnected with the tray side walls. The side walls an...

The present invention provides an apparatus that can erect a tray from a generally flat, rectangular blank. The tray erector incorporates an inventory section, a transfer section, a construction section and an exit section. The inventory section has a hopper with flanges and tab stops, which hopper stores an inventory of stacked, flat blanks that will eventually become the trays. In the transfer section, a blank is transferred from the inventory section to the construction section of the present...
