A utility cart includes a sensor or plurality of sensors to determine the state of a cart and secure cart contents. A sensor may be used to determine whether the contents of the cart have been accessed. When the sensor determines that the cart has been accessed, an alarm sequence that sounds an alarm or activates a visual indicator will be initiated. The alarm sequence may be terminated by a kill switch or by using an input device to deactivate the alarm. After the cart is used, the cart is re-stocked and the alarm controller is re-armed to return the cart's alarm system to an access sensing state.

A shelving includes two tracks, two pair of end pieces, a stationary shelving unit attached to one of the two pair of end pieces and including a plurality of posts and a shelf, a mobile shelving unit includes a plurality of posts and a shelf supported by the posts, and a plurality of wheels adapted to roll on the tracks. Each of the tracks includes a plurality of bases, each base having a rail channel on a top and a recess on a bottom, a plurality of rails disposed in the rail channel with the first rail end projecting beyond the first base end and with the second rail end being recessed from the second base end, and a coupling member disposed in the recess of the track base, joining the first base end to another base end.

Compact, modular storage system

Mechandising shelf with a dropped mat

Merchandising shelf with a raised mat

Merchandising shelf with a raised mat and truncated corners

A shelving system includes at least two parallel lengths of track, at least two pair of end pieces disposed on opposite ends of each of the at least two lengths of track, and a stationary shelving unit attached to one of the at least two pair of end pieces, with the stationary shelving unit including a plurality of posts and a shelf supported by the plurality of posts, and a mobile shelving unit, which includes a plurality of posts, a shelf supported by the plurality of posts, and a plurality of wheels adapted to roll on the at least two lengths of track. Each length of track includes (a) a plurality of track bases, each track base extending between a first base end and a second base end, being formed with a rail channel on a top of the track base and a recess on a bottom of the track base, and including a plurality of elongated holes extending through each of the plurality of track bases, (b) a plurality of track rails, each including a first rail end and a second rail end and being disposed in the rail channel with the first rail end projecting beyond the first base end thereby to define a rail projection and with the second rail end being recessed from the second base end thereby to cause the channel to define a rail projection socket in the track base, and (c) a coupling member disposed in the recess of the track base, the coupling member joining the first base end of one base to the second base end of another base by being fastened through a track base to at least one of the plurality of track rails.

A shelf support system includes a sleeve or wedge member and a collar adapted to be secured to a generally cylindrical support post, that is one that is circular when viewed in radial cross-section. The sleeve has an inner surface that is configured to embrace the support post and an outer surface formed with a first axially outwardly inclined wedge portion and at least one second axially outwardly inclined wedge portion that, when viewed in such radial cross-section, extends at an angle to the first portion. Additionally, the collar is adapted to be secured to a member to be supported and to embrace the sleeve. The collar has a first wedge surface formed to mate with the first portion of the outer surface of the sleeve and at least one second wedge surface formed to mate with the second portion of the outer surface of the sleeve. Thus, when the sleeve embraces the post and the collar embraces the sleeve, axial loading of the collar in one direction causes the first wedge surface to mate with the first portion of the outer surface of the sleeve and the second wedge surface to mate with the second portion of the outer surface of the sleeve, thereby urging the sleeve toward the post in at least two generally radial directions.

Shelf support system having a cylindrical support post and providing improved stability and rigidity

A support adapted for use between first and second panels at a joint includes a distal end including a flange, an anchoring end including a flange and an anchor, and an intermediate section connecting the distal end and the anchoring end. The intermediate section is shaped to mate with adjoining edges of the first and second panels.

Support for securing cantilevered shelving to an insulated unit

A structural support system such as a cantilevered shelving system for use in cooperation with a wall that faces an opposing surface includes a standard to which at least one shelf can be mounted. The standard is positionable in a generally upright orientation against the wall so as to support the shelf. A buttress, which is preferably adjustable in length, is positioned to span the distance between a point on the standard and the opposing surface so as to abut both the standard and the opposing surface and brace the standard in the generally upright orientation against the wall.

Structural support system having free-standing vertical standards

A module adapted to generate a stream of hot, humid air includes a housing, a chamber disposed within the housing and having an air intake and an exhaust vent, and a reservoir adapted to hold a volume of water. A blower is disposed adjacent the air intake and is adapted to propel a stream of air through an interior of the chamber toward the exhaust vent. A steam generator is disposed substantially within the interior of the chamber and has a water inlet in flow communication with the reservoir and a steam outlet in flow communication with the interior of the chamber. A first heater is disposed on an external surface of the steam generator and a second heater is disposed within the interior of the chamber.

High humidity apparatus

A system for supporting a member on a support post includes a wedge assembly, having a tapered face and mountable on the support post, and a collar secured to the member to be supported. The wedge assembly has a camming surface, and the collar has a camming portion for abutting the camming surface. In addition, a locking mechanism is mounted to the collar and press-fits against the wedge assembly.

Self-adjusting support system

Site select post

A modular 'knock-down' type shelving system having adjustable height shelves includes a plastic support post having a generally right equilateral triangular cross-section. The support post is composed of pultruded thermosetting plastic having unidirectional E Glass fibers extending therethrough and a thermoplastic coating bonded to the outer surface thereof. The inner surface of the interior side of the support post is bowed outwardly. As a result, when a wedge member is disposed on the interior side of the post and the support post and wedge member combination supports by wedge action a sleeve comprising an end beam and a collar, the interior side of the support post is urged outwardly and is supported by the wedge member. The collar is locked to the end beam when a tongue of the collar passes through a slot in the end beam into a rotatable lock in a blind hole in the bottom of the end beam. A plurality of shelves are adapted to be snap-fit over a rectangular support structure comprising two end beams, and two side beams and a center beam connecting the two end beams. In this manner the shelf can be easily assembled and disassembled and supported on a support post at a predetermined height.
