Abstract:

Wax candles are stored and transported in containers shaped similarly to the candles. The ambient temperature may cause the candles to partially or completely melt and hence lose their shape. When the ambient temperature eventually lowers, the candles will resolidify in the containers in their initial shape, and thus spoilage is prevented. A plurality of containers may be connected to form a candle storage tray, and several trays may be stacked atop one another in a storage container such as a basket.

Abstract:

A shelving system including a plurality of parallel horizontally oriented shelves releasably and securely connected to four upright posts is disclosed. The releasable connection of the shelf to the post is achieved by use of corner connectors which fit into corner notches of the shelf. The corner connector includes a male segment and a female segment which mate to each other and fit into said post at step locator positions along the length of the post. Complimentary tooth and channel configurations of the mated corner connector and the corner notches of the shelf interlock the shelf to the corner connector and then to the post. The shelves are connectable to and releasable from the posts between shelves already mounted on the posts.
