High strength, lightweight blow-molded plastic structures

Blow molded plastic structures are provided for use in various structures such as, but not limited to, tables, chairs, walls, backboards, storage bins, sports equipment and the like. The blow molded plastic structure has a first surface and a second surface extending between a first end and a second end and forming a chamber there between. A plurality of depressions is formed on the second surface and extends into the chamber. The depressions are usually unitary structures formed by a depression wall. Generally, the steeper the depression wall, the more strength is provided to the structure. In addition, where the plurality of depressions has a low profile and a greater density, increased strength is provided to the structure. The depressions may or may not be joined to the first surface.

Biased utility receptacle assembly

A pivoting utility receptacle assembly for use with a work surface, such as a desktop. The assembly includes a base member positionable within an opening in the work surface and a receptacle member that is pivotally mounted to the base member. A biasing member is engaged between the receptacle member and the base member, and biases the receptacle member to a partially exposed position with respect to the base member. The assembly also has a locking mechanism including a latch on the receptacle member which engages the base member and secures the receptacle member in a closed position with respect to the base member until such time as it is desired to expose the receptacle member. The movement of the receptacle member out of the base member under the influence of the biasing member is controlled by a movement controlling assembly engaged between the receptacle member and the base member.

Folding Table and Support Frame Assembly

A folding table and support frame assembly is disclosed. The table comprises two planar portions connected by a hinging member. One of the planar portions is coupled to a support frame such that the folded table can be moved into a stowed position within the support frame assembly. The planar portions comprise a proximal portion or inner member and a distal portion or outer member. The proximal portion and distal portion are connected to one another by the hinging member or middle member. The hinging member enables the rotation of the distal portion into a folded relationship upon the proximal portion. When the two planar portions are folded, they provide a smaller table surface in a half-open or partially extended position. When the two planar portions are opened along the hinging member, the planar portions and the hinging member provide a larger contiguous table in the fully extended position.
