Abstract: This invention relates to a rack for transporting, storing and dispensing bales of manufactured rolled goods. The folding transportation rack and product delivery system prevents damage to the bales during transportation and permits removal of the product from the bale directly from the rack. The rack is collapsible and includes a base with end frames pivotally attached to the base. Side support members are attached to the end frames when the end frames are in an extended position. Cam fixtures are aligned on either of the opposing frames or an opposing side support members to vertically secure both long core and short core bales of rolled goods. The racks are interchangeable and allow the stacking of several racks while holding bales of material. The present invention also permits the dispensing of the material directly from the storage rack.

Abstract: A package restraint (10) is for use in automotive vehicles. The restraint is placed in a seat (S) normally occupied by an individual and is held in place by the seat belt (B) worn by an occupant. The restraint has a rear piece (12) which fits against the upright portion of a passenger seat and which is held in place by the seat belt. A bottom section (16) of the restraint provides a seat for the package (P) or article to rest upon. The length of this bottom section may be adjustable to accommodate different size packages. A front section (18) of the restraint is also an upright piece. The front and rear pieces have openings (24a-24d) for a belt (22) to fit through the pieces and about the package to secure the restraint and package together. The restraint is made of a lightweight, fabric covered material for ease of use and to protect the package and seat in which the restraint is used. The belt is of a non-slip material so as not to fall off the package once secured thereto.

In this way, guns not being used can be safely and cleanly supported on the portable gun rack.

Abstract: A rack for shipping a set of objects such as vehicle hoods comprises a base, two folding sides, a folding bumper, and several sets of pivotable clamps attached to the sides. The rack is employed by unfolding the sides to the upstanding, spaced-apart position, and loading the objects one at a time onto a set of clamps pivoted to the operative position from a storage position. As each object is put in position, the next set of clamps is pivoted into the operative position and loaded with the next object. The clamps are tightened and loosened by turning a bolt on each one with an air wrench. Pivotable clamps enable closer nesting of the objects. The bumper separates adjacent racks so the objects held by them do not interfere.

Abstract: A promotional pallet which can be varied in both length and width, and which will have places for signs and pennants in any of its configurations. Its length is changed by using two sections each formed by a pair of base members with interengaging fingers and in which the extent of interengagement can be varied. The fingers slidingly interengage in a "cantilever" manner so as to provide structural strength regardless of length. The width of the pallet is changed by using two sets of sections of equal width hinged together with hinges which can accommodate change in length, while at the same time permitting flush overlapping of two sets of sections, so the weight being carried is distributed uniformly over a common surface.

Expanding the organizer to its maximum allowable size within a given space keeps the organizer secure from movement. The foldable organizer is advantageously used in the trunk of an automobile to protect grocery bags from spilling their contents when the automobile is in motion. The organizer can be constructed from a single flat blank which is cut, folded and fastened or from several such blanks. A kit containing one or more blanks with appropriate fasteners is also disclosed.

Abstract: A collapsible portable framework is expanded to an open position forming a long, narrow, column-like structure for a folding display frame, in which generally rectangular frame-like cubicles are aligned serially and are pivotally joined at common ends of the cubicles. Each cubicle has hubs at its corners pivotally joined to ends of rigid rods interconnected at pivot points forming a pair of scissor members along opposite sides of each cubicle. End braces releasably interlock as a rigid box frame to support the ends of the scissor members and the hubs at the corners of the cubicles in rigid spaced-apart positions. A diagonal cross-brace extends from a lower front corner to an upper rear corner of each cubicle, and another diagonal cross-brace extends from an upper front corner to a rear lower corner of each cubicle. Disconnection of the end brace members permits the frame to be collapsed by folding the scissor members so the cubicles are collapsed into a compact side-by-side form.

Abstract: A fold out carrying device or a "caddy." A frame with two front legs is pivotally supported by two longer rear legs. The front end of each of provided locks is rotatably attached to the frame and the rear hooked end slidably circumscribes one of the rear legs. To fold the caddie, the entire device is lifted. Consequently, front legs pivot rearwardly and the rear ends of the locks simply slide down the rear legs without manual aid or operation. Conversely, to open the caddie, the two rear legs are placed on the ground and the caddie is tilted forward such that its front legs tend gravitate away from the rear legs. During opening of the caddie, each of locks slides up along one of the rear legs. Locks are prevented from moving upwards beyond a certain point by stops attached to the rear legs. A number of containers are pivotally supported by the frame. These containers remain substantially vertically oriented whether the device is open or collapsed.
