Filed:

Sep 18, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/562920

Inventors:

John P. Driver - Henryville IN, US
Matthew McMillin - Palmyra IN, US
Bradley M. Nall - Elizabethtown KY, US

Assignee:

SSW Holding Company, Inc. - Fort Smith AR

International Classification:

A47B 17/00

US Classification:

108 27, 108108, 312408

Abstract:

The specification discloses a method for containing spills on shelving and the like, and the resulting support members made in accordance with the method, by providing the generally flat top surface of a support with a hydrophobic surface which is arranged in a spill containment pattern and which is generally in the plane of the top surface of the support. The majority of the top surface of the support consists of one or more spill containment areas which are of a non-hydrophobic nature and which are bounded by the hydrophobic surfaces, such that spills on the shelving collect in the non-hydrophobic spill containment area or areas and are prevented from spreading by the hydrophobic surfaces.

International Classification:

F21V 33/00
F25D 25/02
F25D 27/00

US Classification:

362 92, 211134

Abstract:

A shelving assembly () includes a pair of sheet metal sidearms () having ladder connectors () releasably coupled to cantilever ladders (). An LED strip () having spaced apart LEDs is positioned immediately behind a refrigerator shelf (). A rear form () is used for securing the LED strip () to a refrigerator shelf (). The LED strip () is powered through electrical contact modules () which conductively connect to low voltage power strips ().

Appl. No.:

17/083708

Inventors:

- Fort Smith AR, US
John Patrick Driver - Henryville IN, US
Brian J. Stewart - Vincennes IN, US

International Classification:

F16F 15/28

Abstract:

A counterweight assembly for counteracting vibrations or other forces in an appliance or machine includes a body and a funnel coupled to the body. The body includes an outer surface and an inner surface that defines an internal cavity that is adapted to receive a heavy aggregate material to form a counterweight. The funnel extends outwardly from the body and is adapted to deliver the heavy aggregate material to the internal cavity of the body.

International Classification:

F24C 15/00
C03C 17/30
H05B 3/68

Abstract:

A pattern of high temperature hydrophobic surfaces for use with cooking and baking appliances, such as kitchen cooktops, stoves and oven interior walls. The pattern of hydrophobic surfaces confines overflowed liquids to the enclosed non-hydrophobic surface areas and away from protected areas, such as around burner control knobs, burner surfaces, cal rods, fan and vent openings, countertops, and the like. The hydrophobic materials used are able to withstand and effectively repel liquids at high operating temperatures.
