Fastener with integral spring clip

A fastener for removably mounting a housing to a shelf includes a base having an upper surface and a lower surface adapted for connection to a bottom panel of the housing at an edge portion of the housing. The base includes a front edge and a portion extending from the front edge which is turned under the base and is disposed spaced apart from the base and adjacent to a lower surface of the base to form a spring clip. The clip engages an edge portion of the shelf between the lower surface of the base and the portion extending from the base front edge.

Three simply constructed plastic tubes form a time saving coin wrapping system. The first component is a clear plastic base used for holding a stack of similar coins. The second component is a transfer tube made of a resilient split plastic rolled sheet. This transfer tube is inserted down around the coins while in the base. Finally, a third component, a resilient plastic casing which holds a paper coin wrapper, is inserted in the top of the transfer tube. The entire assembly is inverted. The coins can now be removed neatly wrapped in the paper coin wrapper.

Coin loader

A kitty box is provided for use in the home, camper or van. The kitty box allows pets to perform their excretory functions inside during times of confinement. Cats and small dogs can be trained to perform their excretory functions atop the kitty box. Solid feces stay on top of a screen platform which lifts off for easy cleaning. Urine passing through the screen platform is caught by a funnel which in turn empties into a urine container. The urine container is conveniently lifted out of the kitty box for ease of cleaning. The urine container, funnel, support grill and screen platform all lift out of the kitty box for ease of cleaning.
