Abstract: A packaging box closing member includes a flat panel portion that is placed on a pair of unsealed lid portions of a packaging box so as to intersect a closed portion formed by the pair of lid portions, the pair of lid portions being located on a top surface of the packaging box; and an upright portion that stands on a side of the flat panel portion, the side intersecting the closed portion, wherein, when stacking another packaging box on the top surface of the packaging box, a part of the another packaging box or a part of a transport device that transports the another packaging box contacts the upright portion, and the packaging box closing member is pushed toward an end of the top surface of the packaging box together with the flat panel portion and is dropped.

Abstract: A product carrier includes a corrugated fiberboard planer member having a top surface and an opposite bottom surface. At least one elongated core member has a top side, a bottom side, an open interior portion and two parallel edges running along the core member adjacent to the top side. The core member is disposed so as to depend downwardly from the bottom surface of the planar member. A glue is disposed between each of the parallel edges of the core member and the bottom surface of the planar member so as to affix the parallel edges of the core member to the bottom surface of the planar member.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to collapsible type pallets and related products embodiments of which include a construction wherein support beams can be integrally formed from the sheet material of the pallet itself. The beams can be supported internally by structural inserts. Additionally, the supporting inserts may include braces for added stability and strength. The beams, as well as the platform can be further braced and structurally supported by cross braces, which run generally at right angles to the beams and pass through apertures in the beams themselves and slots in the inserts. In certain embodiments, the cross braces pass underneath and support the underside of the platform to create significant structural advantages to the pallet. Embodiments of the pallet can be easily assembled from components that can be easily and economically stored and transported. Embodiments are light-weight thereby providing savings in assembly, transportation, and storage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pallet which is provided with great dimensional stability and load-bearing capacity and is used for storing and transporting all types of goods. The invention is characterized in that the plastic parts of the pallet comprise reinforcement elements which extend below the base plate of the pallet, in the region of the legs and/or within the base plate of the pallet.

Abstract: A base stand for transporting a metal storage bin having a main body with a top wall, first side wall, a second side wall, a third side wall and a fourth side wall; a first bracket mounted to the first side wall; a second bracket mounted to the second side wall; wherein the third side wall has a first opening and a second opening for receiving associated forks of an associated forklift. A metal storage bin is supported on the top wall of the base stand, and the first and second brackets extend along side walls of the metal bin to provide lateral support to the bin.

Abstract: A lightweight turf pallet is formed of High Density Polyethylene and is formed by a twin-skin vacuum molding process under high pressure. The pallet has top and bottom faces each with an array of frustoconical cavities formed in rows on each face, the cavities on opposed faces being coaxial and joined at their apices to form a web therebetween. A system for constructing a recreation or sporting surface comprising such pallets, together with comer joiner members and surface pads is also described and claimed.

Abstract: A structurally reinforcing and three dimensional article, such as a pallet, having a structural insert of specified shape and size. A composite plasticized material is over-molded or otherwise applied upon the structural insert according to a selected thickness to encapsulate the insert. The pallets are stackable when not in use and may also include built in straps for securing cargo thereupon.

Abstract: A pallet cover includes a deck. A plurality of flanges extend upwardly from the deck and a plurality of legs extend downwardly from the deck. The pallet cover includes a plurality of adjustable corner members that allow the pallet cover to fit pallets of varying sizes. The adjustable corner members operate in an “accordion-like” fashion so that they can be reused on multiple pallets and still retain their original size.

Abstract: A divider for use in handling quantities of yarn spools arranged in layers. The divider includes a main body generally planar polygonal portion and a skirt portion extending around the periphery of the main body portion and formed into a series of circumferentially spaced, arcuate, inwardly opening scallops with each scallop having a curvature substantially matching the curvature of the yarn spools so that, with a layer of spools positioned on the main body portion and the skirt upstanding from the main body portion, each scallop may compliantly engage the outer periphery of an individual outer spool of the spool layer. Each scallop is connected to the main body portion by a strap extending from the main body portion to the scallop and the scallops are connected together to form a continuous circumferential band.

Abstract: A flat top carrier deck includes a base plate, and at least one elevating gate. The base plate is preferably fabricated from a perforated sheet of material. Each elevating gate engages the base plate. Each elevating gate is either disposed in a retracted position or an extended position. Preferably, a handle clearance impression is formed in a first end of the base plate and a lift clearance impression is formed in a second end thereof. The clearance impressions provide an outline for snapping out a clearance slot. However, handle and lift clearance slots may also be formed in the base plate during manufacture. The clearance slots allow the flat top carrier deck to be retained by a horizontal hand truck.
