Abstract:

A receptacle for receiving fluid such as water that is preferably placed within a cabinet supporting a sink. The receptacle is preferably positioned adjacent the bottom of the cabinet. The receptacle is preferably formed with flexible, flared sides and a frangible front portion to enable the receptacle to fit within a variety of differently sized cabinets. The receptacle can have a hole and funnel for alignment with a mating aperture in the cabinet above the toe-receiving recess of the cabinet. Thus, leaking water from the sink pipes can be directed through the aperture in the cabinet and onto the floor in front of the cabinet to bring the leak to the attention of the user of the sink. Alternatively, the receptacle can dispense with the hole in the receptacle and instead allows the leaking water to flow out the front of the cabinet to accomplish the same goal as the first embodiment Also, a cabinet and receptacle assembly can be used together to provide a device and method for receiving fluid and directing fluid from a fluid conductor to a surface in front of a cabinet.

Abstract:

An array of panels foldably connected such that the array may be collapsed into a single stack of panels, and a method of manufacturing such an array. The array has at least three rows of panels, where the first and second rows have at least two panels and the third row has at least one panel. The panels in each row are foldably connected so that each row of panels may be collapsed into a single stack of panels. Each row of panels is connected to the row of panels below it so that the individual stacked rows may be further collapsed onto each other to form a single stack of panels. With this folding scheme, the array may have more than two panels in each row and may have more than three rows of panels. The panels define connecting pin channels that, when the panels are unfolded, are co-axially aligned with connecting pin channels of adjacent panels. Connecting pins are inserted into the co-axially aligned connecting pin channels to hold panels in a specific orientation with respect to each other.
