Each tube has a closed end and an open end provided with a threaded cap that can be easily removed by hand. The tubes are ideal for storing long, thin objects, but can also be used to store small objects such as nails, screws, fasteners and the like. To aid in the storage of the tubes themselves, a wall-mounted enclosure is provided preferably providing twelve (12) tubes; however, the size of the enclosure and number of tubes may vary depending on the application. The apparatus is provided with a wall mounting plate allowing easy hanging and removal and may also be set upon a workbench or carried using an integral handle as well. The tubes are simply slid in and out of the enclosure for easy access.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2008Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Inventor: Norman L. Guitreau

Patent number: 7984806Abstract: A stacking unit (1) for storing bottles, cans or other articles (7) having circular cross sections comprises a strip (2) of sheet material formed along one side of the strip with at least three part circular cavities (6). The free end walls (5) of the cavities (6) at opposite ends of the strip (2) are of sufficient rigidity to retain the articles in place in the unit under the weight of other articles stacked on the row in the unit. The cavities respectively forming convex wall portions (4) on the opposite side of the strip (2). The stacking unit (1) can be seated on a first row of articles in order to stack a second row of articles on the first row.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2003Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Inventor: Stefano Matheou

Patent number: 7975847Abstract: A container insert for taking up extra space may be placed in a container intended for storage and/or shipment of material to an end user. The insert may be generally longitudinal having a helical configuration that may be expanded and constricted for taking up different volumes of space within the container respective of the amount of material stored therein. The insert may also be elastically deformable or generally pliable and may absorb impact forces for preventing or minimizing damage to the material.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2010Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignee: Lincoln Global, Inc.Inventor: Paul A.

Publication number: 20110162991Abstract: The present invention concerns a packaging unit (1) for several pipe sections (2) of mineral wool with a packaging material (5), which surrounds the several pipe sections (2) to form the packaging unit (1), with the packaging material (5) arranged around the pipe sections (2) under pressure, the pipe sections (2) are folded within the packaging unit (1) with reduction of the pipe section cavity, and the pipe sections (2) are formed elastically such that, in the folded state, recovery forces for restoring the unfolded initial shape are built up. By means of the packaging unit (1) of the invention, several pipe sections (2) can be transported and stored very economically. In this connection, pipe sections (2) are not restricted in their functionality, but, after removal from packaging unit (1), may be used directly and without restriction, e.g., to insulate chimneys.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2011Publication date: July 7, 2011Applicant: SAINT-GOBAIN ISOVERInventors: Volker Albrecht, Claus Bissinger
