Vertically stabilized adjustable shelf bracket assembly

A vertically stabilized shelf bracket assembly having at least two support strips on which a plurality of shelf brackets are mounted. The shelving is stabilized in several ways. First, the brackets are provided with a shelf engaging recess. The recess is either designed to provide a tight fit for the shelf, or the recess is provided with a shim for tightening the fit. Second, the brackets are provided with a vertical member which engages the shelves. Preferably, the recess and the vertical member will engage the shelf at opposite ends of the shelf, securing the shelf to the bracket. When the shelf is attached to multiple brackets, the shelf will be prevented from pivoting on the bracket. The shelves can be further stabilized by securing the brackets against vertical displacement. This can be accomplished by securing the shelf brackets to the support strip with a locking pin. With the locking pin in place, the shelf bracket cannot be moved upward. Another way of securing the brackets is to provide a vertical stabilizer, comprising an elongated member, preferably of steel or aluminum, having an arm extending perpendicularly therefrom. The arm will fit tightly into a slot in a support strip. When the arm is in place, the elongated member will be positioned over and in contact with the base of the shelf bracket, so that the bracket cannot be moved upward. The vertical stabilizer will be held in place by the cover which fits over the support strips.

Shelf divider system

A shelf divider system that includes a shelf base (12) defining a support for multiple products, which base has a front (16) and a rear (18) and multiple parallel elongate slots (50) in the base. The slots extend in a direction from front to rear in multiple sets (53) of at least two aligned slots. An upstanding transversely extending front stop (26) mounted to the base at the front has an upper edge (31) and at or adjacent the upper edge respective seats (46) associated with the sets of at least two aligned slots. A plurality of dividers (28) each have a bottom edge (36) with a more rearward rearwardly extending protrusion (42) and a more forward depending tab means (48), and a front edge (32) with an upper forwardly extending protrusion (44), whereby each divider is selectively releasably engageable with any of the sets of at least two aligned slots by locating the rearwardly extending protrusion under a rear edge of a rear slot and pivoting the divider downwardly to locate the tab means in a front slot and the forwardly extending protrusion in an associated seat on the front stop, whereupon the divider is not disengagable except by reversing the pivoting action.

Fastener

A fastener comprises an anchor and a central pin. The anchor has a top plate to which a central leg is connected. At the free end of the central leg are two anchor arms that extend up and outward from the free end, forming an arrowhead shape. The anchor arms are flexible and can flex inward as the anchor is placed through a hole in an item to be fastened. Connected to the top surface of the top plate is a push pin. Depressing the push pin breaks the connection areas to create a two-piece anchor from the single part. The push pin comprises a push button and a pin connected to the underside of the push button. The pin consists of a vertical post having a channel therein for accommodating the central leg of the anchor. Pushing the push button downward causes the anchor arms to be pushed outward and to anchor the fastener into the items to be fastened.

Single trip, tension set, metal-to-metal sealing, internal lockdown tubing hanger

A system, apparatus, and method to apply tension to completion tubing in a wellbore. The system, apparatus, and method comprises an inner and outer tubing hanger, with the string of tubing attached to the inner tubing hanger. A running tool lands the outer tubing hanger on a landing shoulder and continues to lower the inner tubing hanger into the wellbore until the lower end of the inner tubing hanger latches into a retaining device. The running tool then sets a seal which holds the outer tubing hanger in position and causes a ratcheting mechanism to move to an engaged position. The running tool then withdraws the inner tubing hanger a predetermined distance until the inner tubing hanger engages the ratcheting mechanism.

Multi-purpose sleeve for tieback connector

A tieback connector connects a riser between a subsea wellhead housing and a floating platform. The tieback connector has a tubular body that stabs into and seals with a casing hanger. A latch member on the tieback connector engages a locking profile to secure the tieback connector to the wellhead housing. A sleeve is slidably carried on the tubular body between a running-in position and a set position. The lower end of the sleeve lands on an upper rim of the casing hanger prior to the seal engaging the seal surface. Continued downward movement of the tubular body relative to the sleeve causes the seal to engage the seal surface and the sleeve to move to the set position. The sleeve has upper end that engages a lower end of the latch member to limit any upward movement of the casing hanger in the wellhead housing.

Mechanism for securing a tilt frame of a hook lift hoist to a truck frame

A locking mechanism for locking a tilt frame of a hoist to a vehicle frame comprises a semi-annular ring connected in axial alignment to the hub of a hoist lift arm. The ring is adapted to receive a pin connected to the vehicle frame. An opening is formed in the ring and is sized to permit the pin to pass therethrough. When the lift arm is advanced to a retracted position relative to the vehicle frame the opening is positioned below the pin, such that the tilt frame may be pivoted relative to the base frame. When the lift arm is pivoted out of the retracted position to load and unload a container, the ring extends in overlapping position below the pin to prevent the tilt frame from pivoting relative to the base frame.

Passive safety portal device

A portal access assembly includes an inserter that has a needle, a cap moveable along the length of the needle and an infuser having a cannula through which the needle extends. A safety mechanism inside the cap allows the needle to be moved relative to the cap so long as the shaft of the needle biases against an edge of one of the legs of the mechanism. After the cannula is properly positioned in the implanted port to establish a fluid path between the port and the infuser, the needle is removed by being pulled upwards until it no longer biases the one leg of the mechanism. At which time the safety mechanism fixedly captures the needle inside the cap to prevent the contaminated tip of the needle from being exposed to the environment. At the same time, the cap is detached from the infuser.

Rifle recoil absorbing strap assembly

A rifle recoil absorbing strap assembly for absorbing rifle recoil from a rifle, the strap assembly preventing the bruising of a shoulder when firing the rifle and without having to permanently mount the strap assembly on a target shooting bench, a table or a horizontal support member. The strap assembly includes an elongated, flexible, horizontal first strap member with adjustable and releasable fastener. The adjustable and releasable fastener is used for securing together a first end and a second end of the first strap member. Also, the strap assembly includes a flexible, vertical second strap member with a first end and an opposite second end. The first and second end of the second strap member are adapted for receipt around a front portion of the rifle and secured thereto for preventing upward movement of the rifle when firing. Further, the strap assembly includes a rifle butt cradle adapted for receiving and securing a rifle butt of the rifle therein. Whereby, when the strap assembly is secured to a rifle securing object and the rifle is held thereon, the strap assembly greatly reduces rifle recoil during the firing of the rifle.

Segmented Ball Seat Assembly Valve

The segmented ball seat valve is an annular communication valve normally installed in a string of pipe that is to be deployed to a depth within a well. The segmented ball seat valve provides communication between the inside of the pipe and the well bore or casing through open ports. The segmented ball seat valve can be closed to shut off communication by dropping / pumping a ball to the segmented ball seat valve and applying pressure to close the valve. The application of pressure causes the ball seat assembly to move downward into an enlarged portion of the bore. The segments of the seat assembly move outward in the enlarged area to permit passage of the ball.
