Patent number: 8899661Abstract: The combination of a cargo carrying vehicle and a deck panel. The cargo carrying vehicle has a storage space and a plurality of parallel elongate load beams in the space. A lower surface of the deck panel engages each of the first and second elongate load beams. The body has a plurality of discrete components depending from the lower surface that are abuttable to the load beams to thereby limit shifting of the deck panel. The upper surface has at least a first opening and the lower surface has at least a first complementary projection. A second deck panel, the same as the first deck panel, can be stacked on the first deck panel so that a corresponding at least first projection on the second deck panel extends into the at least first opening to maintain the first and second deck panels in a predetermined stacked relationship.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2011Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: Ancra International LLCInventors: Howard T.

Patent number: 8132771Abstract: During shipping, it is not uncommon to have loads shift in transit. To help alleviate this problem, a portable bulkhead or spacing system is provided. The system is nestable for easy storage, lightweight, durable, and cost effective. The combination of these factors, thus, allows for shipping efficiencies to drastically increase so that products can be effectively shipped resulting in an overall lower cost to the consumer and generating an advantage over competition.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2006Date of Patent: March 13, 2012Assignee: Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc.Inventors: Richard H. Lee, Terry Staed, Paul W. Baker, Thomas M. Quinn

Patent number: 7963731Abstract: A pad (20) is particularly suited for separating or restraining cargo and includes a top sheet surface (21) having longitudinally extending spaced ribs (27) forming a plurality of recesses (28) therebetween. A pattern of lugs (31) is formed in the recesses (28). The pad (20) also includes a bottom sheet surface (22) having longitudinally extending spaced ribs (29) forming a plurality of recesses (30) therebetween. A pattern of notches (32) is formed in the ribs (29), and the pad (20) may nest with a like pad (20) by placing the lugs (31) in the notches (32). The pads (20) may stack to form a thicker pad by positioning the ribs (27) of one pad (20) in the recesses (28) of a like pad (20). A flange (33) extends outwardly from one of the edges of the sheet surface (21) which assists in preventing the pad (20) from sliding when in use.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2007Date of Patent: June 21, 2011Assignee: The Fabri-Form CompanyInventors: Paul W.

Patent number: 5791262Abstract: A reinforced pallet (10) includes an upper surface (11) and a pair of opposing support sides (14, 15). The pallet (10) also includes at least one reinforcing bar channel (50) and a reinforcing bar (40) received within reinforcing bar channel (50). A twin-sheet pallet (10) is formed vacuum-forming a first plastic sheet (33a) to a first mold section (30) and a second plastic sheet (33b) to a second mold sheet (31), wherein a preselected portion of the second mold section (31) is sealed such that the second plastic sheet (33b) is not vacuum-formed. The mold sections (30, 31) are then moved together and the sheets (33a, 33b) are compressed together at preselected locations. A thermoformed, plastic pallet (10) for bearing and positioning a load, also includes and a retaining wall assembly (90) carried by the upper surface (11); the retaining wall assembly (90) including a wall-receiving slot (91) in the upper surface (11) and a retaining wall (92) received and positioned within the slot (91).Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 1994Date of Patent: August 11, 1998Assignee: The Fabri-Form Co.Inventors: John W.
