Abstract: A bag mountable on laterally spaced support rods and a retainer disposed between the laterally spaced support rods of a support rack includes a front and a rear wall defining an open top. A pair of laterally spaced handles project upwardly from the open top of the bag. The handles include mounting apertures for the mounting of each handle on a corresponding support rod. The rear wall of the bag includes an aperture centrally disposed between the handles and below the open top for reception by the retainer for supporting only the rear wall of the bag on the rack.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for the uninterrupted winding of continuously-fed malleable sheet material, such as plastic, paper, and textiles, which includes a roll feed mechanism, a first and second winding station, a sheet directing main frame which may be biased in the direction of either winding station so as to press the sheet onto the take up spindle located at the particular station, a sheet transfer means and an external control connected thereto in order to selectively transfer the continuously-feeding sheet from a full spindle to an empty spindle mounted at one of the winding stations.

Abstract: The present invention relates to thermoplastic bag structures which are characterized by having a pair of carrying handles which are formed integrally with the bag walls, and extend upwardly from the open mouth portion of the bag. The configuration of the individual bag handles is such that there is reduced tendency for that portion of the handle which is in the user's palm, when such bags are loaded and carried, to curl into a small cross sectional area, commonly known as roping. Additionally, the individual bags are constructed so that when the bags are loaded and being carried by the user, the stress points around the bag mouth are distributed to areas which are less likely to rupture and tear as a result of stress concentration.

Abstract: A fire retardant laminate construction comprising a plastic backing film adhesively secured to an insulation batting material. The adhesive material comprises an intumescent coating, containing one or more fire retardant additives, which will foam and char at high temperatures to form a solid multicellular, fire retardant insulating layer which prevents wicking of the plastic material into the insulation batting.
