  • Patent number: 5533468
    Abstract: A horse stall gate manufactured from a lightweight polymer. The gate includes a plurality of ventilation slots designed to provide optimum airflow to the horse stall while only nominally reducing the strength of the gate, the slots being sized smaller than the horse's hooves. The gate is formed by rotational molding resulting in a hollow construction in the areas between ventilation slots and greatly reducing the weight. Rotational molding also produces a smooth exterior surface with rounded edges and corners to eliminate the chance of injury from sharps. The gate is reversible so that it may be hinged to either side of a stall doorway and includes a central indent in the upper edge for the horse to lean out of. Finally, the raw material can be provided in any color prior to rotational molding completely eliminating the expense and hazard of paint.

  • Patent number: 4747504
    Abstract: An aircraft cargo container having sides, inboard and outboard ends, a horizontal top and a horizontal bottom. The bottom is rectangular and provided with casters located in corner recesses. The inboard end and both sides of the container are substantially vertical, while the outboard end substantially conforms to the curvature of the aircraft fuselage cabin cross section. The inboard and outboard ends are so sized that the container will freely pass through a standard left side passenger entry door. The sides are so dimensioned that when two containers are located end-to-end with their inboard ends opposed, they will substantially fill the aircraft fuselage cabin cross section with clearance between themselves and between themselves and the aircraft fuselage, so that a plurality of containers can be arranged within the aircraft in two longitudinal rows, the containers of each row having adjacent sides opposed. Each container has a door in one of its sides.
