A shelf for a showcase in which a roller unit is formed with holding grooves on both sides of a bottom surface of a U-shaped roller plate. Fixing frames coupled with the roller plate include a bottom part, formed with a vertical rib to be fitted into the holding groove of the roller plate, and a vertical wall surrounding an outside of the roller plate and formed with a horizontal rib closing opened parts of fitting grooves of the roller plate, so that the fixing frames are mounted on both sides of the roller plate of the roller unit in pair correspondingly to each other. The vertical walls are formed with screw-coupling holes at front and rear ends in accordance with screw holes punched at both side walls of the end caps so as to be integrally coupled together by coupling screws.

The present invention discloses and claims a single vehicle that has both full fire fighting capability in the form of a pumper in permanent combination with full medical rescue and transport capability. Provided is a transport pumper of conventional design having a crew cab with four entrances, a large capacity fire pump, a tank containing a quantity of water, another tank containing a quantity of foam, a substantial length and diameter of fire hose, ground ladders, a side controlled pump operator's panel, and all other necessary equipment to be in substantial compliance with NFPA Standard 1901. Permanently provided on the same chassis as the pumper is an ambulance or rescue transport including rear entry double doors for patients, a rear dump capability, two supine patients on stretchers carrying capabilities, air conditioning, a side entrance door and all necessary equipment be in substantial compliance with federal standard KKK-A-1822E for a rescue transport. The rescue transport is modified only to the extent necessary to accommodate ground ladders and a hose bed on the top of the rescue transport. The vehicle concept is one of a modular design in permanent combination on a single chassis using standardized equipment already familiar to fire rescue personnel which can be readily refurbished and replaced with conventional equipment at minimized cost.

An improved seat pad and integrated gripping member is provided, which prevents the pad from slipping when placed between a seating surface and individual. The gripping member is permanently attached to the seat pad along its edge and covers a portion of either side of the seating surface. The gripping member is reversible therefore either side of the seat pad may be selectively exposed during use. This allows both seat pad sides to be constructed of different materials, colors, or patterns and be interchangeable when desired by the user.

A sealing assembly for a cable to apparatus interconnection formed by a plurality of shells adapted to mate together, surrounding the interconnection within an interconnection space. When mated together, the shells forming openings for the cable and the apparatus at an apparatus end and a cable end, respectively. A gasket mounted to each shell along a mating surface between the shells and along the openings environmentally seals the interconnection space. A locking rib projecting inward from the shell(s) may be applied to rotationally interlock a coupling nut of the interconnection with the sealing assembly. In a two shell embodiment, a locking band positioned around an outer diameter of the mated together shells with an end to end retaining means may be used to secure the shells together. Alternatively, if three shells are used, the shells may be hinged together and a retaining means applied to join the unhinged ends together.

An improved connecting system for a vehicle wheel spoke, including a spoke having an end portion, a span portion and a cross-section thereof, a connecting element; a bracing element such as a rim or hub, a tensile axis of applied tensile load along the span portion, and a longitudinal axis along the spoke. The connecting element is made of hardened molding material and the spoke is overmolded by the connecting element during solidification of the hardened molding material. The connecting element is joined to the spoke at an overmolded interface and the connecting element is connected to the bracing element.
