Abstract: A composite dunnage bag being an elastic inner bag enclosed in a paper outer bag for insertion between stacks of cargo in transit. The mattress shape of the outer bag (when the dunnage bag is inflated) enables the bag to apply a footprint against the cargo walls that is greater than bags of the same length and height of the prior art this is an especially advantageous feeature when the spacing between stacks of cargo is greater than 12 inches.

Abstract: A valve for an airtight flexible container such as a dunnage bag including a bowl with openings and extending through an opening in the container A flange around the rim of the bowl is heat welded to the container around the opening. One end of a housing is screwed into the rim of the bowl. A cap is removably press fit onto an opposite end of the housing. A spider extending across the housing supports a plug which is spring mounted on the spider and biased to close the lower end of the housing by compressed air in the container. Compressed gas inside the container is released by removing the cap and pressing on the plug to dislodge the plug from its seat on the one end of the housing or by unscrewing and entirely separating the housing from the bowl.

Abstract: A valve for a dunnage bag including an inner part having a flange that is laminated to the inside surface of the bag and an outer part having a flange that is laminated to the outside surface of the bag providing that the bag can be inflated/deflated by air passing through both parts and a hole in the bag. The outerpart is a bowl which is stretched away from the bag when the bag is being inflated and which collapses against opening in the inner part to seal the bag and prevent air loss.

Abstract: An apparatus for securing cargo during transport in a cargo hold wherein the cargo is centerloaded to provide adequate air circualtion and to distribute the weight. Centerloading leaves small voids and large voids between the walls of the cargo space and the walls of the cargo space. Inflatable deflatable bags are placed in the small voids and expandable braces are also positioned in the larger voids. The braces feature two blocks, one block on the end of a threaded shaft opposite the other block. A speed nut on the threaded shaft is turned to adjust the position of between the two blocks. The bags are flexible plastic with a valve for admitting air into the bag and a separate cap for releasing the air conveniently and quickly.
