Abstract: A supporting plate (10) for flexible base supports (12) for electronic circuits is made of a rigid material and includes a plane surface (11). The flexible base supports (12) rest on the plane surface (11). The supporting plates (10) have spacers (16) protruding orthogonally from the plane surface (11) to allow another supporting plate (10) to be positioned on top of the spacers (16), stacking up without interfering with the base support (12) resting on the plane surface (11). The spacers (16) may also be used to laterally position elements of the base support (12).

Abstract: A water bottle rack for storing, for transporting by a delivery truck and for subsequently dispensing by gravity standard water plastic jugs having a narrow mouth, a relative flat bottom portion and two or more annular rims extending outwardly from the jug side wall. The rack comprises a rigid frame having a front, a rear, a bottom, a top, two sides and an interior. The rack is adapted to be installed on the floor, on a stand, on the deck within a conventional delivery truck loading area, or stacked on top of each other or moved by a fork-lift truck. A number of inclined guiding rails, paired transversally so as to form shelves, supporting conventional water bottles by two of their annular rims, or a number of inclined shelves configured so as to substantially conform to the contour of a conventional jug are secured to the frame in predetermined spaced relationship relative to each other allowing, at each higher side of shelf level the loading of jugs by the front of the back of the rack.

Abstract: A containment tray for a hazardous material spill pallet for storage of hazardous material containing drums. The tray provides a raised support surface for the drums and a chamber for containing spilled or leaking material from the stored drums. Access for pallet lifting member is provided from all four directions of the pallet. The containment trays are nestable for stacking and peripheral edges are reinforced for more solid support when in use and when stacked. Multiple channels along the peripheral edge are provided for attachment of auxiliary devices such as a ramp for ease of placing and removing drums.

Abstract: A pallet having a body topped by a deck with foldable deck flaps. The deck has two or more foldable flaps near each edge of the body platform, and a center portion. With the flaps folded into their down position, the pallet provides a nearly solid upper deck support for the load articles. With the flaps folded into their stowing position, the tops of the hollow legs are exposed so as to allow other unloaded pallets to be stacked and nested upon the pallet. The flaps may be interchanged with other flaps of alternate dimensions so as to provide a pallet with adjustable deck dimensions. Multiple attachment points for the flaps such that the flaps may be attached at positions with more or less overhang from the edges of the body, providing a more convenient method of deck dimension adjustment without the need for a variety of flap sizes.

Abstract: A stackable transport pallet comprising a planar support member having a substantially cloverleaf shape. The planar support member includes a first and second wide frame member and a first and second narrow frame member that are joined together to form the cloverleaf shape. A pair of lateral bumpers and a pair of longitudinal bumpers are additionally connected to the planar support member, such that the lateral and longitudinal bumpers will provide a distance between the planar support member and the ground surface. The stackable transport pallet includes a set of braces that are operable to support a vehicle or other item being stored on the stackable transport pallet. In addition, a set of leg assemblies are also attached to the planar support member to allow the pallet to be stackable. The leg assemblies are pivotable between an extended and a retracted position. In the extended position, cargo may be loaded on the planar support member and stacked accordingly.

Abstract: A stackable pallet can include a rectangular planar base member having a first end, a second end, and two opposing sides. A slider pad can extend downwardly from the base member adjacent the first end. A handle member can be pivotally secured to the base member adjacent the first end by a hinge member. The hinge member preferably has a partial U-shaped hinge housing, an L-shaped hinge plate, a pivot pin, a locking pin bore and a locking pin. The handle member can be adapted to be pivoted from an inoperative position, wherein the handle member is folded on top of the base member, to a first operative position, wherein the handle member extends upwardly from the base member, and to a second operative position, wherein the handle member extends in a direction opposed from the inoperative position such that the handle member and the base member are substantially planar.

Abstract: A frame for supporting a substantially non-rigid container, the frame comprising: (a) a base-component (10) having at least two frame-members (11, 12) and at least two cross-members (13, 14); (b) a pair of side-components (20, 30) attached to opposite sides of the base-component (a) and extending upwardly therefrom, each side-component (b) having at least two frame-members (21, 22; 31, 32) and at least one cross-member (23, 33); (c) a top-component (40) adapted to engage the side-components (b) whereby the base-component (a), the side-components (b) and the top-component (c) define between them a substantially parallelepiped cavity (C) to receive the container, the top-component (c) having at least two frame-members (41, 42) and at least two cross-members (43, 44), together with one or more support-members (45, 46, 47, 48) to engage the container, said top-component (c) being adapted to be lifted free of the side-components (b); in which each frame-member (41, 42) of the top-component (c) is of substantia

Abstract: A pallet assembly including a main base pallet and at least one small pallet. The main base pallet includes alignment ribs and alignment recesses. The at least one small pallet is configured for removable placement in the alignment recesses of the main base pallet to be maintained in position by the alignment ribs of the main base pallet. The at least one small pallet includes a handle adapted for carrying the at least one small pallet and for laterally supporting objects resting on the at least one small pallet.

Abstract: A stackable pallet system comprises a plurality of pallets used for holding and transporting various items, including potted plants such as potted trees, flowers, bushes, etc. When the pallets are to be stacked, two pairs of spacer pipes can be used on a first pallet extending upwardly therefrom. Two elongated saddles are then coupled, one to each pair of spacer pipes, such that the saddles extend between and unite the upper ends of the pairs of spacer pipes. The saddles comprise an upwardly facing, shallow channel which is sized to be slightly larger than at least a portion of the fork pockets contained on the pallet. A second pallet can be lowered down onto a first pallet with the fork pockets, or at least a portion of the fork pockets, being received in the saddle channels. Various containment rings can be coupled to the pipes, in place of or in addition to the saddles, to allow longer trees to be carried on the pallets or to allow double stacking of potted plants on a single pallet.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a modular structure, the structure including an upper platform and an underlying support element and structure is provided on at least one peripheral side of the upper platform or the support element for releasably engaging a reciprocal structure on another unit of the structure.
