Junius T Moore

A locking bolt for a storage basket suspension system is provided with a recess for receiving a locking plate with a depending arm extending at an angle of less than 120.degree. and terminating in an eyelet which extends at 90.degree. to the axis of the depending leg portion to prevent or discourage improper installation of the locking plate.

Locking bolt for overhead support of weighted articles

An improved receptacle for storing articles and hanging clothing, the receptacle being used in a changeroom with a system having means for moving the receptacle between a lowered position of accessibility and an elevated position of inaccessibility. The improved receptacle includes a basket member for storing articles and a bail-like handle member which is of substantially inverted U-shaped configuration and provided with clothes supporting hooks. The handle member is arranged to be attached to the means for elevating or lowering the receptacle. The basket is movable relative to the bail-like handle member and is adapted to be supported by the bail-like handle member so that the clothes hooks carried by the bail-like handle member are free of loads from the basket member.

Receptacles for overhead storage systems

Combined suspended support for storage receptacle and hooks therefor

An improved safety system for raising, lowering and supporting in an elevated or lowered position, a weighted article from an overhead support. The system includes a link chain passing over a safety pulling member, the link chain having one end permanently connected to the weighted article and the other end permanently connected to an attachment means positioned within reach of a person so that the person may pull the link chain downwardly to raise the weighted article to a desired elevation out of range of the person. The link chain has an improved locking member thereon which may be detachably attached to and locked to the attachment means. The locking member, once installed on the link chain at the proper position, is tamper proof and substantially break proof. The weighted article may be a clothes basket, or other receptacle, or any article in which it is desired to selectively suspend overhead out of reach of a person and then lower within range of a person.

Pulley

An improved safety system or apparatus for raising, lowering, and supporting in an elevated or lowered position a weighted article from an overhead support. The system or apparatus includes a safety pulley member having a pulley sheave over which a link chain passes, the link chain having one end connected to the weighted article and the other end connected to an attachment means positioned within reach of a person so that the person may pull the link chain downwardly to raise the weighted article to a desired elevation out of reach, the link chain then being locked to the attachment means. The weighted article may be a clothes basket, other receptacle, or any other article in which it is desired to suspend overhead. When tension in the link chain between the safety pulley member and the fixed attachment means is suddenly or abruptly reduced and the weighted article begins to fall by gravity and the safety pulley member swivels by gravity to a position where its arrestor arm interrupts the path of the link chain and grips a single link of the chain and prevents the weighted article from dropping freely to the floor.
